Introduction. Although bilateral breast cancers are a rare condition in the general population, incidence has increased significantly BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene carrier cancer patients. Besides genetic susceptibility, many risk factors such as age, first diagnosis lifestyle, environmental may be effective development of this type cancer. This study aimed to determine BRCA1/2 carriage in patients with...

Breast cancer rarely metastasizes to the uterus. Here, we report two breast cancer patients with synchronous metastases to the uterus. Case 1 highlights a 46-year-old female with invasive ductal carcinoma who presented with a breast mass and was found to have uterine enlargement on positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Biopsy revealed a metastatic 4 mm focus of breast cancer in the backgroun...

Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal gammopathy, Skin changes (POEMS) syndrome is a rare plasma cell disorder that causes a paraneoplastic syndrome. We report the first case of POEMS syndrome with synchronous breast cancer. The patient was at risk of being misdiagnosed with metastatic cancer, and it is important to emphasize that physical examinations provided vital diagnost...

BACKGROUND Reports of synchronous multiple primary cancers in patients with oral cancer have recently been increasing because of progress in radiographic diagnostic techniques. Multiple primary cancers in patients with oral cavity cancer mainly occur in the head and neck region, lung, and esophagus. 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography is usually used to identify synchr...

background: breast cancer is third order malignancy in women among other malignancies.   various studies showed that incidence of breast cancer can be lower down by early detection of breast cancer. mammographic screening is considered more effective modality in detecting early stage breast cancer in women who are at elevated risk for breast cancer. the aim of this study is to report the result...

Synchronous bilateral breast cancer is rare, and oncocytic carcinoma is an even rarer breast cancer histological subtype. In general, oncocytic tumors are defined as neoplasms with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm and have been reported in various organs. Oncocytic carcinoma of the breast was first documented by Gădăleanu and Craciun in 1987, and 48 cases have since been reported. The present st...

due to the high incidence of deaths from breast cancer, high cost of treatment and limited resources, the need to formulate and implement effective programs in reducing the burden of disease is obvious. care, control and creation of cancer information system having an infrastructure from collection of minimum data sets (mds) are the top priorities of research in iran's ministry of health.this i...

objectives: ziziphus jujube (jujube) plant has exhibited numerous medicinal and pharmacological properties including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. this study was carried out to investigate its anti-cancer and pro-apoptotic abilities in human cervical and breast cancer cells in vitro. materials and methods: the cervical ov2008 and breast mcf-7 cancer cells were incubated with differ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the current surgical management strategy for bilateral breast cancer (BBC) patients and to assess the changes in this strategy in China. METHODS This is a retrospective review of all patients with early-stage BBC who underwent surgical treatment at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center between June 2007 and June 2014. RESULTS A total...

Synchronous breast cancer and breast lymphoma are rare. It is of high rate of misdiagnosis in clinical practice. Here we present two cases with this presentation. They are both middle-aged women, with stage I invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. One patient happened to have primary breast lymphoma (PBL); the other was secondary breast lymphoma (SBL). Their pathology and immunohistochemistry...
