Neurofibromatosis type 1 and male breast cancer: emerging risk factor?
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the appearance of cafe au lait spots, neurofibromas and Lisch nodules. There is an established link between NF1 and the development of breast cancer in women; however, due to the rarity of both NF1 and male breast cancer, the same link has yet to be elucidated in men. The concurrent presentation of NF1 and male br...

متن کاملNeurofibromatosis type 1 revisited.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant condition with a worldwide incidence of approximately 1 per 2500 to 3000 individuals. Caused by a germ-line-inactivating mutation in the NF1 gene on chromosome 17, the disease is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In the past several years, significant progress has been made in standardizing management of the major clinical...
متن کاملEmerging therapeutic targets in esophageal adenocarcinoma
The incidence of gastro-esophageal disease and associated rate of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is rising at an exponential rate in the United States. However, research targeting EAC is lagging behind, and much research is needed in the field to identify ways to diagnose EAC early as well as to improve the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) to systemic therapies. Esophagectomy with su...
متن کاملHeat shock proteins as emerging therapeutic targets.
Chaperones (stress proteins) are essential proteins to help the formation and maintenance of the proper conformation of other proteins and to promote cell survival after a large variety of environmental stresses. Therefore, normal chaperone function is a key factor for endogenous stress adaptation of several tissues. However, altered chaperone function has been associated with the development o...
