Uncovering a Tumor Suppressor for Triple-Negative Breast Cancers
"Triple-negative" breast cancers are aggressive malignancies that respond poorly to treatments. Now Sun et al. (2011) find that the activity of the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN12 is lost in a large percentage of this breast cancer subtype, offering molecular drivers and possible therapeutic targets for this heterogeneous and intractable cancer.

grade (severity). Identification of molecular markers such as expression of the estrogen (er) and progesterone receptors (pgr) and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (her2) has offered additional predictive value for the therapeutic assessment of women diagnosed with breast cancer 1–4. More recently, gene expression analysis using dna microarray technology has identified additional br...

PURPOSE Recent developments in rare-cell technology have led to improved blood-based assays that allow for the reliable detection, enumeration, and more recently, genomic profiling of circulating tumor cells (CTC). We evaluated two different approaches for enumeration of CTCs in a prospective therapeutic study of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). EXPERIMENTAL DESI...
متن کاملThe omics of triple-negative breast cancers.
BACKGROUND Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) do not represent a single disease subgroup and are often aggressive breast cancers with poor prognoses. Unlike estrogen/progesterone receptor and HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) breast cancers, which are responsive to targeted treatments, there is no effective targeted therapy for TNBC, although approximately 50% of patients respo...
متن کاملMolecular stratification of triple-negative breast cancers.
Research focused on the analysis and classification of breast tumors, primarily using DNA microarrays and patterns of gene expression, has resulted in distinct tumor subtypes. Although no knowledge of patient survival or outcomes was used to derive these gene descriptions, these different classes based upon patterns of gene expression have important prognostic implications. Predictive markers i...
