Background & Objectives: Breast cancer is an aggressive cancer in females, worldwide and is the major cancer among Indian women. The cause of breast cancer includes environmental, genetic and hormonal factors. The present study is to analyse the expression of FOXO3a in Infiltrating Ductal carcinomas of breast cancer patients and corresponding normal tissues. Materials & methods: Formalin fixed ...

We designed a 2-stage study to investigate chemotactic factor receptor 5 (CCR5) gene expression in breast cancer tissues and axillary lymph nodes and analyze the association between the CCR5-Î"32 gene polymorphism and the clinical features and prognosis of breast cancer patients. The first stage examined 72 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma and axillary lymph node tissue, 50 cases of breast fi...

The mammalian Janus kinase (JAK) family consists of four members, namely JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2, which play a critical role in cytokine/growth factor signaling and is increasingly associated with human cancers. Aberrant activation of these non-receptor tyrosine kinases may contribute to carcinogenesis. Herein, we focused on exploring the potential role of p-JAK1 in breast cancer. The express...

INTRODUCTION Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) always lacks expression in estrogen-dependent tumors, which may result from gene inactivation by methylation. In this study, we aimed to determine whether aberrant methylation of the ERβ promoter is associated with decreased ERβ gene expression in breast cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS ERβ methylation status was determined for 132 pairs of breast cancer and...

This survey paper is used to discuss about the detection of breast cancer tissues using different machine learning algorithms. Identification cancers scanned images are very important for correct diagnosis. Many algorithms present image processing techniques, all these have main goal detecting those cell tissues. Each algorithm has their own assumptions and advantages, here a review some detect...

BACKGROUND Epidemiologic studies have established that women with prior atypical ductal hyperplastic (ADH) lesions have a 5-fold increased risk of developing invasive breast cancer (IBC). However, there is currently no means of identifying a subclass of ADH from women who will most likely develop cancer. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether elevated expression of carcinoembryonic...

The present study aimed to clarify the association between kinesin family member 11 (KIF11) and human breast cancer, and the effect of KIF11 on breast cancer cell progression. Western blot analysis, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis, retroviral infection, immunohistochemistry staining, MTT assay, anchorage-independent growth ability assay and tumori...

Although molecular signatures based on transcript expression in breast cancer samples have provided new insights into breast cancer classification and prognosis, there are acknowledged limitations in current signatures. To provide rational, pathway-based signatures of disrupted physiology in cancer tissues that may be relevant to prognosis, this study has directly quantitated changed gene expre...

Molecular characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTC) from blood is technically challenging because cells are rare and difficult to isolate. We developed a novel approach to isolate CTCs from blood via immunomagnetic enrichment followed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (IE-FACS). Isolated CTCs were subjected to genome-wide copy number analysis via array comparative genomic hybridiza...
