Breast metastasis arising from non mammary malignancy is very rare and occurs in malignant melanomas, sarcomas, lung cancers, ovarian tumors, renal and thyroid carcinomas. Few cases of breast metastasis from myxoid liposarcoma have been reported in the worldwide literature. We report herein a case of a 51-year-old woman with 2-year history of a slowly growing, painless mass of the right proxima...

The incorporation in vitro of formate-C14 into normal breast tissue protein, taken from different individuals and from the same individual at different times, was rela tively consistent. Administration of estradiol did not appreciably affect the rate of in corporation of formate-C14 into proteins or protein-bound serine of normal breast tis sue. However, surviving neoplastic breast tissue showe...

BACKGROUND Waterlily Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is thought to be antioxidant-rich, conferred by its functional phytochemicals. METHODS The potential anticancer effects of the ethanolic kernel extract on breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) using MTT, anti-proliferation, neutral red (NR) uptake and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays were evaluated. Cytological studies on the bre...

This study has aimed to determine the diagnostic value of the scintimammography with 99mTc-MIBI in the detection of primary breast cancer and to verify its clinical usefulness. Sixty-three female patients (age range 27-83) with breast lesions detected by physical examination, ultrasonography, and/or mammography were prospectively included in this study. An anterior and prone lateral planar 99mT...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the utilization of breast, colon and prostate cancer screening in the adult Croatian population in a period without national cancer screening programs, with a special interest in respondents' rural versus urban origin. METHODS Self-reported screening utilization was investigated in the Croatian Adult Health Survey, which collected health-r...

UNLABELLED Triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive subtype, represents 15% of invasive breast tumors. This prospective study investigated whether early changes in (18)F-FDG tumor uptake during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) can predict outcomes. METHODS Twenty (M0) patients underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT at baseline and after the second cycle. NAC was continued irrespective of PET results. ...

Nanocarriers have the potential to improve the therapeutic index of currently available drugs by improving their efficacy and achieving therapeutic steady-state levels over an extended period. The association of maghemite-rhodium citrate (MRC) nanoparticles (NPs) has the potential to increase specificity of the cytotoxic action. However, the interaction of these NPs with cells, their uptake mec...
