Is adjuvant chemotherapy useful in lobular breast cancer patients?
It has been shown by several groups that neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer was poorly effective; a complete pathological response was seldom even if a clinical response allowing a conservative treatment could be observed [1–3]. Since then, a neoadjuvant chemotherapy was rarely proposed in patients with lobular carcinoma. Conversely, the lobular type has not been conside...
متن کاملCD133 Is a Useful Surrogate Marker for Predicting Chemosensitivity to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a standard care regimen for patients with breast cancer. However, the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate remains at 30%. We hypothesized that a cancer stem cell marker may identify NAC-resistant patients, and evaluated CD133 and ALDH1 as a potential surrogate marker for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to find a surrogate maker to predic...

متن کاملGenotyping analysis and 18FDG uptake in breast cancer patients: a preliminary research
BACKGROUND Diagnostic imaging plays a relevant role in the care of patients with breast cancer (BC). Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) has been widely proven to be a clinical tool suitable for BC detection and staging in which the glucose analog supplies metabolic information about the tumor. A limited number of studies, sometimes controversial, describe...
متن کاملIllness perception of breast cancer in affected women undergoing chemotherapy
Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the various aspects of illness perceptions about breast cancer in affected patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study enrolled 140 patients with breast cancer in their chemotherapy period within 14 months. The revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (revised IPQ) was used to assess the disease representations of breast cancer. The ...
