objective: to review her-2/neu and tp53 status and their correlation with all other prognostic clinicopathologic features of infiltrative ductal breast carcinomas. materials and methods: this cross sectional study was performed on 139 patients with infiltrative ductal breast carcinoma who were diagnosed between may 2000 and march 2006 at the surgery and pathology departments of alzahra hospital...

  Abstract   Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) constitutes the main oral malignancy .   Parallel to better understanding of molecular and genetic patterns of tumor behavior, more precise correlation of tumor markers such as Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Laminin-5 are sought to estimate macroscopic and microscopic tumor status .   Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study collect...

in human breast cancer, estrogen receptor (er) status of the tumor has prognostic and therapeutic significance. however, facilities to study er are not widely available to us. we postulated that if there is a correlation between histologic grade and er status of invasive ductal carcinoma (idc), it may help predict the er status of the tumor. of 8 4 cases of breast carcinoma referred to the canc...

abstract background: gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world especially in iran. there are many genomic and molecular factors that cause gastric cancer to occur. also, many markers that associate with tumor invasiveness have been known.  e-cadherin is a calcium- mediated cell adhesion molecule. in some studies, abnormal expression of e-cadherin has been seen in gastric car...

background and objectives: the most prevalent malignancy among women is known to be breast cancer (bc). several factors contribute to determining tumor prognosis and treatment strategies. in this study, the frequency and relevance of these factors are discussed. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out on 214 patients with bc, who referred to the cancer institute of im...

Background& Objective: Micro-vascular proliferation is an important histological feature of brain glioma with more vascular proliferation is present in higher grades of glioma. CD 105 is expressed in new actively proliferating and immature endothelial cells in tumor environment  and appears to be capable to distinguish between malignant neo-vasculature and normal vesse...

Background: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed and the leading cause of cancer death among females worldwide. The rate of breast cancer incidence among Iranian women is 17% of all cancers, it has been ranked first in Iran. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting axillary lymph node involvement in female patients with breast cancer. Methods: A cross-sectional study was c...
