Breast cancer has a poor prognosis owing to tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Although Ras homolog (Rho) A is involved in tumor cell invasion, its role in breast carcinoma is unclear. Here, RhoA expression was examined in invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), with a focus on its relationships with epidermal-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and collective cell invasion. Forty-four surgical IDC tissue s...

BACKGROUND Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) is a distinct histopathologic feature associated with high-grade, advanced prostate cancer. Although studies have shown that IDC-P is a predictor of progression following surgical or radiation treatment for prostate cancer, there are sparse data regarding IDC-P on diagnostic needle biopsy as a prognosticator of prostate cancer mortality. ...

BACKGROUND It is controversial for prognosis of invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) compared with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) of the breast. To better understand the difference between IMPC and IDC prognoses, we conducted this retrospective study. METHODS Data from 33 patients with IMPC were retrospectively reviewed, and the clinicopathologic characteristics and survival status were ...

Although ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) precedes invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), the related genomic alterations remain unknown. To identify the genomic landscape of DCIS and better understand the mechanisms behind progression to IDC, we performed whole-exome sequencing and copy number profiling for six cases of pure DCIS and five pairs of synchronous DCIS and IDC. Pure DCIS harbored well-kno...

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect dynamic contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in diagnosis breast cancer (BC) and compare it with ultrasonography (USG).
 Materials Methods: In our study, 78 patients who underwent preoperative DCE-MRI USG center TRNC between 2009 2022 were diagnosed BC histopathologically investigated retrospectively.Findings obtained accordi...

BACKGROUND We measured the content and activities of components of the beta-adrenergic receptor-G protein-adenylate cyclase complex and adrenergic neurotransmitter levels in left and right ventricular myocardial preparations derived from 77 end-stage failing human hearts from patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) or ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (ISCDC). METHODS AND RESULTS ...

Data regarding the prevalence and urodynamic characteristics of involuntary detrusor contractions (IDC) in various clinical settings, as well as in neurologically intact vs. neurologically impaired patients, are scarce. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether the urodynamic characteristics of IDC differ in various clinical categories. One hundred eleven consecutive neurologically intact pa...

The Grid technologies have brought us a set of new concepts such as utility computing, service ondemand, and resource sharing in the business scene as well as many examples of new modes of science. Although for limited applications grids are able to provide production quality of services today, we are still looking for enablers to apply them to a much broader area of use cases. Populating the I...

AIMS (a) To assess the expression patterns of HER2/neu, steroid receptors (ER and PR), Ki67 and p53 in invasive ductal cancer (IDC) and IDC associated with carcinoma in situ (IDC/DCIS) and (b) to determine if there is a differential expression of these molecular markers between IDC and IDC/DCIS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Paraffin-fixed breast cancer samples, diagnosed with only one histological i...

Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) is recognized as a newly pathological entity in 2016 WHO classification. It's role in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) remains obscure. We aimed to explore the association of IDC-P with clinical outcome and to further identify its potential predictive role in making first-line treatment decisions for mCRPC. We retrospectively a...
