Abstract:

Cancer initiation and progression is a challenging scenario through developmental processes, which may be more complicated by occurrence of metastasis. Basically, diverse genetic alterations, including mutations, formation of truncated proteins and related pathways play key roles either in diagnosis or the most influential therapeutic purposes. ...

Cardiac Metastasis of Breast Cancer: A Case Report

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. As we know, cardiac metastases occur rarely. In this study, a 40-year-old woman referred to the hospital due to severe pain in the right leg. She was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and received treatment, but, after one month and a half she returned with severe pain, exacerbated shortness of breath, cramping pain, and chest pa...

Signatures of breast cancer metastasis at a glance.

Gene expression profiling has yielded expression signatures from which prognostic tests can be derived to facilitate clinical decision making in breast cancer patients. Some of these signatures are based on profiling of whole tumor tissue (tissue signatures), which includes all tumor and stromal cells. Prognostic markers have also been derived from the profiling of metastasizing tumor cells, in...

Breast Cancer Metastasis to Pituitary Infandibulum

Metastasis from breast cancer to other parts of the body is very common, but the spread of the tumor to pituitary gland, especially to infandibulum, is a rare presentation. At the time of pituitary metastasis, a majority of the patients have clinical and radiological evidence of the disease. It seems that the posterior area of the gland is the most common site of metastasis, probably due to hig...

Prediction of Breast Cancer Metastasis Using Fuzzy Models based on Data from Iranian Breast Cancer Patients

Introduction: The metastasis of breast cancer, the spread of cancer to different body parts, is considered as one of the most important factors responsible for the majority of deaths caused by breast cancer in women. Diagnosing the breast cancer metastasis at the earliest stages helps to choose the best treatment and improve the quality of life for patients. Method: In the present fundamental r...
