Prognosis of lymph node-negative breast cancer: Association with clinicopathological factors and tumor associated gene expression
The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between the prognosis of lymph node-negative breast cancer patients and clinicopathological factors, as well as the association between tumor-associated gene expression and prognosis. Clinical data and survival information was collected for 341 patients with lymph node-negative breast cancer, admitted to the Cancer Hospital of the ...
متن کاملEffects of differential distribution of microvessel density, possibly regulated by miR-374a, on breast cancer prognosis.
BACKGROUND The discovery that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate proliferation, invasion and metastasis provides a principal molecular basis of tumor heterogeneity. Microvessel distribution is an important characteristic of solid tumors, with significant hypoxia occurring in the center of tumors with low blood flow. The distribution of miR-374a in breast tumors was examined as a factor likely to be im...
متن کاملTumor Characteristics Influencing Non-Sentinel Lymph Node Involvement in Clinically Node Negative Patients with Breast Cancer
PURPOSE The negative sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy avoids conventional axillary dissection in patients with breast cancer with clinically negative axilla. Despite negative SLN, there is a risk of leaving involved non-SLN behind in the axilla. We investigated the predictive power of tumor characteristics for non-SLN metastasis. METHODS Lymphatic mapping with blue dye method for SLN biopsy a...
متن کاملSkin invasion and prognosis in node negative breast cancer: a retrospective study
BACKGROUND The impact of skin invasion in node negative breast cancer is uncertain. METHODS We determined the prognosis in 97 node negative breast cancer patients (case group) who had tumors with skin invasion. Then we compared these patients with 4500 node negative invasive breast cancer patients treated surgically in the same period. RESULTS Patients with skin invasion tended to be older,...
متن کاملDo mammographic tumor features in breast cancer relate to breast density and invasiveness, tumor size, and axillary lymph node involvement?
BACKGROUND Breast density and mammographic tumor features of breast cancer may carry prognostic information. The potential benefit of using the combined information obtained from breast density, mammographic tumor features, and pathological tumor characteristics has not been extensively studied. PURPOSE To investigate how mammographic tumor features relate to breast density and pathological t...
