background: phyllodes tumor (pt) of the breast in hispanic patients is more frequently reported with large tumors and with more borderline/malignant subtypes compared with other populations. the objective of this study was to describe characteristics of patients with pt and to identify differences among subtypes in a mexican population.  methods: a retrospective study was conducted on patients ...

background : breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in females worldwide. it accounts for 16% of all female cancers and 22.9% of invasive cancers in women. 18.2% of all cancer deaths worldwide including both males and females are from breast cancer. in this study we compared few serum elements in patients with benign and malignant breast tumor to find any related prognostic and predic...

the p21 belongs to the cip/kip family of cdk inhibitors involved in cell cycle arrest at specific stages of the cell cycle progression. dna methylation is the best studied epigenetic mark that have been evidently associated to chromatin condensation, and repression of gene transcription. the cpg island hypermethylation in promoter region of certain genes occurs in cancer cells and affects tumor...

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor and the most common cancer among American women that starts from cells of the breast. The growth of the size of data exceeds the ability of humans to analyze the data. So we need some intelligent machines that can analyze datasets intelligently for us. We propose a Multi Nominal Logit Model to evaluate correlation between risk factors of breast tumor. Our ...

Granular cell tumor is a rare benign non-encapsulated tumor that mostly presents in oral cavity. Breast localization is uncommon and occurs in about one per 1000 cases of breast cancers. It mainly affects premenopausal women showing the possible role of estrogen and progesterone levels in the progression of this tumor. Granular cell tumor is a great emulator of the invasive ductal carcinoma of ...

Background: Nowadays long non-coding RNAs are known as interesting functional part of the transcriptome. LncRNA SNHG6 was reported to be expressed more in breast cancer tissues than non-tumor ones. As a frequent cancer among women, breast cancer treatment needs applied biomarkers for fast prognosis and diagnosis. SNHG6 RNA and its splice variants could be considered as molecula...

background: breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, particularly in iran. there are many genomic and molecular factors that cause the occurrence of breast cancer. many markers are associated with tumor invasiveness. matrix metalloproteinase includes a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that degrade various components of the extracellular matrix and basement membrane. ...
