Bone is a common site of cancer metastasis. Breast, prostate, and lung cancers show a predilection to metastasize to bone. Recently, we reported that the chemokine interleukin 8 (IL-8) stimulates both human osteoclast formation and bone resorption. IL-8 mRNA expression was surveyed in a panel of human breast cancer lines MDA-MET, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435, MCF-7, T47D, and ZR-75, and the human lun...

The diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma in serosal effusions continues to be a major challenge because some of its cytomorphological features closely resemble adenocarcinomas. Immunohistochemistry is a valuable tool in the differentiation of epithelioid mesothelioma from metastatic adenocarcinomas. However, no single antibody has demonstrated absolute sensitivity or specificity. In this study, ...

marine streptomyces are prolific producers of majority of bioactive secondary metabolites which are used in pharmaceutical industry as effective drugs against life threatening diseases. the cytotoxic activity of the pure compound 1, 2- benzene dicarboxylic acid, mono 2- ethylhexyl ester (dmehe) from marine derived actinomycete streptomyces sp. vitsjk8 was investigated against mouse embryonic fi...

Primary rectal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the breast is an exceedingly rare event. Its management differs from that of primary breast cancer, as illustrated by this case. A 63-year-old woman presented with a breast lump 30 months after abdominoperineal resection for rectal adenocarcinoma, stage T₃N₁M₀ (stage III), followed by standard postoperative radiochemotherapy. The patient underwent a m...

plant-derived natural products are known to have cancer chemo-preventive and chemo-therapeutic properties. plant extracts or their active constituents are used as folk medicine in traditional therapies by 80% of the world population. the aim of the present study was to determine the anti-proliferative potential of fumaria vaillantii extracts on three different cancer cell lines including malign...

Metastasis to breast from nonmammary malignancy is only about 1.3-2.7%. A few cases of squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus and adenocarcinoma of stomach metastasizing to breast have been reported, but this is probably the first report of breast metastasis from esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer in the English literature. Herein we report a case of a 32-year-old patient diagnosed as adenocar...

OBJECTIVE We describe the case of a patient with metastatic breast cancer who presented with eyelid margin thickening and madarosis more suggestive of sebaceous cell carcinoma than metastatic disease. Histopathology confirmed metastatic breast adenocarcinoma. CASE REPORT A 59-year-old woman with a known history of metastatic breast carcinoma actively enrolled in a clinical trial presented wit...
