Some inverse problems raised from a mathematical model of ductal carcinoma in situ

چکیده
The growth of avascular tumors has been studied by many authors. In this paper we study a special kind of cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in order to investigate possible procedures to connect free boundary model of DCIS with clinical data. This paper is to present some results of our research on mathematical modeling, analysis, and numerical simulations of ductal carcinoma in situ. In particular, we formulate a number of inverse problems for the well-posed free boundary valued problem related to clinical diagnose of cancer. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Human p53 Tumor Suppressor Protein Content in Ductal Carcinoma in Situ of the Breast
The focus of this study was to determine if early detection of mutant p53 accumulation may be an early indicator of tumor aggressiveness and transformation to invasive breast cancer. For this purpose, the p53 content of 100 human breast biopsies classified as ductal carcinoma (DCIS), was evaluated by immunohistochemical method. All specimens were microscopically classified into histologic types...
متن کاملAndrogen Receptor Analysis in Relation to Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors as well as Histological Grade for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ of the Breast
Background and Objective: Since the advent of mammography screening, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast has been diagnosed increasingly. In contrast to the situation in invasive breast carcinoma, there are only a few reports on androgen receptor (AR) status in DCIS and few reports on estrogen ...

Background & Aims: This study was performed to investigate possible relationships between the manifestation of stromal cells (fibroblasts and/or myofibroblasts) by focusing on expression of their matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and possible angiogenesis based on CD31 and CD34 antigen expression during the various steps of hyperplastic changes to precancerousstate and invasive breast cancer. M...

متن کاملPREDICTION OF ESTROGEN RECEPTOR STATUS OF INVASIVE DUCTAL CARCINOMA OF BREAST BY HISTOLOGIC GRADE
In human breast cancer, estrogen receptor (ER) status of the tumor has prognostic and therapeutic significance. However, facilities to study ER are not widely available to us. We postulated that if there is a correlation between histologic grade and ER status of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), it may help predict the ER status of the tumor. Of 8 4 cases of breast carcinoma referred to the ...
