CK5 is more sensitive than CK5/6 in identifying the "basal-like" phenotype of breast carcinoma.
Multiple immunohistochemical stains, including cytokeratin (CK)5/6, are used in a panel format to identify "basal-like" carcinomas. We set out to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the CK5 antibody (clone XM26) and compared its expression with that of CK5/6 (clone D5/16B4) in a variety of breast carcinoma cases. The study was performed on 3 breast carcinoma tissue microarrays (TMAs). ...
متن کاملA basal epithelial phenotype is more frequent in interval breast cancers compared with screen detected tumors.
Interval breast cancer reduce the effectiveness of mammography screening programs. We studied 95 interval cancers, diagnosed during 1996 to 2001 as part of the population-based Norwegian Breast Cancer Screening Program. These cases were matched on size (+/-2.0 mm) to 95 screen-detected breast cancers, and the tumors were compared by immunohistochemical methods using tissue microarrays. Patients...
متن کاملCadmium and Breast Cancer: Exposure Associated with Basal-Like Phenotype
Nanotechnology holds the promise of vastly expanding our ability to clean up hazardous waste sites and decontaminate polluted groundwater in situ. Polychlorinated biphenyls, organic solvents, petroleum products, arsenic, and many more contaminants are on the list that specifically engineered nanoparticles could rapidly remove from contaminated soil and water, saving billions of dollars that wou...
متن کاملMetaplastic breast carcinomas and their relationship with basal-like phenotype.
OBJECTIVE Metaplastic carcinoma is a rare tumor showing high histological grade and low hormone receptor expression. It has pure epithelial and mixed types. Studies have suggested that metaplastic carcinomas may have a basal-like profile. Our aim was to evaluate the clinicopathological features of 11 metaplastic carcinomas and determine their resemblance to basal-like breast carcinomas regardin...
متن کاملIs “Basal-like” Carcinoma of the Breast a Distinct Clinicopathologic Entity? A Critical Review with Cautionary Notes
This review deals with studies that have used cDNA microarrays and immunohistochemistry to identify a subtype of breast carcinoma recently known as “basal-like” carcinoma. The key breast carcinoma studies are critically discussed to highlight methodological problems in cohort selection, definitions, interpretation of results, an...
