The Relationship Between Fibroblastic Growth Factor Receptor-1 (FGFR1) Gene Amplification in Triple Negative Breast Carcinomas and Clinicopathological Prognostic Factors
Background & Objective: In Triple-Negative Breast Cancers (TNBCs), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2/neu genes are not expressed. Fibroblastic Growth Factor Receptor-1 (FGFR1) gene product is a protein that acts as a receptor of thyrosin kinase. It plays a role in the proliferation, differentiation, and migration of malignant cells. The objective was t...
متن کاملDetection of P 53 gene mutations in exons 5 and 8 in patients of familial breast cancer with PCR-SSCP methode.
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer of women in the world. Although different genetic alteration has been reported in this malignancy, but P 53 gene mutations has more frequency. P 53 gene is one of the most important suppressor genes and it play a central role in breast cancer and detecting of mutations in this gene would be very helpful in understanding of genetic m...
متن کاملRadiotracer re-injection in case of sentinel node non-visualization in a breast cancer patient
We reported a 35 year old breast cancer patient who was referred to our nuclear medicine department for sentinel node mapping. She was planned to undergo mastectomy and lymphatic mapping. A dose of Tc-99m Phytate was injection in the peri-areolar region in an intra-dermal fashion. Two hours post-injection no sentinel node was visible in the axilla. Due to a high liver uptake, inadvertent intra-...
متن کاملEvaluation of current prognostic and predictive markers in breast cancer: a validation study of tissue microarrays.
BACKGROUND Tissue microarrays (TMAs) are an attractive alternative to analysis of whole sections (WS). For breast carcinomas, the recent recommendations for cut-offs (i.e. Ki67, H-score) have necessitated the re-evaluation of TMAs. MATERIALS AND METHODS TMA results of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing for Estrogen receptors (ER), Progesterone rec...
متن کاملFokI and BsmI Polymorphisms of the VDR Gene and Breast Cancer Risk
Introduction: Vitamin D fulfills its crucial role in cell proliferation and death through signal transduction into the nucleus by vitamin D receptor (VDR). Recent studies have depicted the association between VDR gene polymorphisms and different cancers, including breast cancer. This study attempted to consider the relationship between VDR gene polymorphisms and breast cancer risk among women i...
