NK, NKT and Invariant-NKT Cells in Tumor Draining Lymph Nodes of Patients with Breast Cancer
Background: NK (natural killer) and NKT (natural killer T) cells, as components of innate immune system, play a crucial role in tumor progression and dissemination. Objective: To investigate the percentages of NK cells, NKT cells, iNKT (invariant natural killer T) cells, total T lymphocytes as well as activated T lymphocytes, in tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLN...
متن کاملAre Breast Cancer Molecular Classes Predictive of Survival in Patients with Long Follow-Up?
In this study we investigate the clinical outcomes of 305 breast cancer (BC) patients, aged 55 years or younger, with long follow-up and according to intrinsic subtypes. The cohort included 151 lymph node negative (LN-) and 154 lymph node positive (LN+) patients. Luminal A tumors were mainly LN-, well differentiated, and of stage I; among them AR was an indicator of good prognosis. Luminal B an...
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 کاملChromosomal Imbalances are Associated with Metastasis-Free Survival in Breast Cancer Patients
Multiple chromosomal imbalances have been identified in breast cancer using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Their association with the primary tumors' potential for building distant metastases is unknown. In this study we have investigated 39 invasive breast carcinomas with a mean follow-up period of 99 months (max. 193 months) by CGH to determine the prognostic value of chromosomal ga...
متن کاملThrombophilic polymorphisms are not associated with disease-free survival in breast cancer patients.
BACKGROUND Thrombosis is one of the most common complications in cancer patients, however the effect of thrombophilic polymorphisms on cancer specific survival is still unclear. OBJECTIVES The aims of the study were to analyze the effect of factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin (PT) G20210A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphisms on disease-free survival (DFS) in bre...
