A stromal gene signature associated with inflammatory breast cancer.
The factors that determine whether a breast carcinoma will develop into inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) remain poorly understood. Recent evidence indicates that the tumor stroma influences cancer phenotypes. We tested the hypotheses that the gene expression signature of the tumor stroma is a distinctive feature of IBC. We used laser capture microdissection to obtain enriched populations of tum...
متن کاملRelapse-free survival in breast cancer patients is associated with a gene expression signature characteristic for inflammatory breast cancer.
PURPOSE We hypothesize that a gene expression profile characteristic for inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), an aggressive form of breast cancer associated with rapid cancer dissemination and poor survival, might be related to tumor aggressiveness in non-IBC (nIBC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN RNA from 17 IBC samples and 40 nIBC samples was hybridized onto Affymetrix chips. A gene signature predictive ...
متن کاملBreast Cancer Associated with Dermatomyositis
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathy with characteristic skin lesions. Case series have shown an association between dermatomyositis and malignancy. Malignancy has been found in 15-25% of the adult patients with dermatomyositis. A 50-year-old new case of breast cancer, was admitted with muscle weakness and inability to walk. Physical examination revealed fever, perior...
متن کاملA microRNA Signature Associated with Early Recurrence in Breast Cancer
Recurrent breast cancer occurring after the initial treatment is associated with poor outcome. A bimodal relapse pattern after surgery for primary tumor has been described with peaks of early and late recurrence occurring at about 2 and 5 years, respectively. Although several clinical and pathological features have been used to discriminate between low- and high-risk patients, the identificatio...
متن کاملMolecular profiling of inflammatory breast cancer: identification of a poor-prognosis gene expression signature.
PURPOSE Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare but particularly aggressive form of primary breast cancer. The molecular mechanisms responsible for IBC are largely unknown. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN To obtain further insight into the molecular pathogenesis of IBC, we used real-time quantitative reverse transcription (RT)-PCR to quantify the mRNA expression of 538 selected genes in IBC relative t...
