Background and Objective: Determination of hormone receptor status in the management of breast cancer is well-established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of androgen receptor (AR) expression in invasive ductal carcinoma of breast. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, 55 cases of invasive ductal breast carcinoma were examined using a monoclonal antibody against AR on...

Background: Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) of the breast is a rare variant invasive ductal (IDC), with most cases characterized by lymph node metastasis and lymphatic vascular invasion. It cancer subtype very high risk recurrence therefore requires special attention from physicians radiologists. Case: </ns4:bold...

abstract: introduction: this study was conducted to determine the outcomes of the project of ‘integration of breast cancer screening and early detection’ into primary health care (phc) system and to detect the incidence rate, mortality rate and the stage of reported breast cancers, during the timeframe of the project in shahre-kord. method: a prospective cohort study was conducted, reviewing me...

AIM This paper is a report of a descriptive qualitative study of the evolution of women's perceptions and experiences of ductal carcinoma in situ from the period near to diagnosis to 1 year later. BACKGROUND Ductal carcinoma in situ is a non-invasive breast condition where cancer cells are detected but confined to the ducts of the breast. With treatment, the condition has a positive prognosis...

Occurrence of multiple primary malignant tumors is very uncommon .Co occuring can be synchronous or non synchronous.Tumors presenting within a period less than equal to 6 months are called and if they occur after termed as metachronous. Synchronous malignancies rarer For defining both the should show criteria malignancy, possibility metastasis must have been ruled out pathologically distinct. B...

Backgound: In Italy in 2015 48,000 new cases of breast carcinomas were diagnosed. Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer have a significant risk of developing contralateral breast cancer during the rest of their lives and this risk is closely associated to the family history, to the onset of breast cancer at a young age and is expressed at about 0.5 to 1% of metachronous tumors per year. Th...

background &amp; objectives: anaplastic lymphoma kinase (alk) is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the genesis of several human cancers. alk was initially identified because of its involvement in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (alcl). alk is believed to foster tumorigenesis following activation by autocrine and/or paracrine growth loops. studies reveal that the presence of anti-alk antibod...

For accreditation purposes, this protocol should be used for the following procedures AND tumor types: Procedure Description Excision less than total mastectomy Includes specimens designated excision, segmental resection, lumpectomy, quadrantectomy and segmental or partial mastectomy, with or without axillary contents Total Mastectomy Includes skin-sparing and nipple-sparing mastectomy, with or...
