Occult breast cancer (OBC) is a type of breast cancer without any symptoms in the breast (no primary cancer lesion is found in either breast on a physical examination or imaging examination such as ultrasound and mammography). The incidence of OBC is rare in females, whereas in males, there are few cases of breast cancer, and the rate of OBC is very low. This is the first time report a case of ...

introduction: the radioimmunoscintigraphy (ris) has found widespread clinical applications in  tumor  diagnosis.  human  epithelial  mucin,  muc1,  is  commonly  over  expressed  in  adenocarcinoma including 80% of breast cancers and represents a useful target for ris. the pr81  is  a  new  murine  anti-muc1  monoclonal  antibody  that  was  found  to  react  with  the  membrane  extracts of se...

objective(s) this study was carried out in order to evaluate the effects of electrochemotherapy, electrical pulses and chemotherapeutic drugs on the killing of cancerous cells and their probable synergistic effects. materials and methods electrochemotherapy treatments conducted on mcf-7 cell line derived from human breast adenocarcinoma tumor using four chemotherapeutic drugs including bleomyci...

the primary carcinoma may secondarily invade bone tissue through direct extensions, blood circulation or lymphatic transportation particulary when it is arising from breast, prostate, kidney, thyroid and lung. metastatics tumors of bone are more common than primary tumor of bone. the most common tumor, which metastasizes into bone, is the breast adenocarcinoma. some metastatic tumors of bone in...

Breast metastasis from other primary carcinoma is very rare and could be difficult to identify despite immunohistochemistry analysis. Breast metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma can mimic triple-negative breast cancer. Given the prognosis and therapeutic challenges, a correct diagnosis appears essential, and molecular biomarkers could be useful. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman with a b...

Non-motile cilia are thought to be important determinants of the progression of many types of cancers. Our goal was to identify patterns of cilia gene dysregulation in eight cancer types (glioblastoma multiforme, colon adenocarcinoma, breast adenocarcinoma, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, rectal adenocarcinoma, and ovarian cancer) profiled b...

This study presents a method based on carpet bombardment of immobilized cells with cavitating flows. For this, cancer cell lines are exposed to micro scale flows from the tip nozzle under effect cavitation microbubbles. The deformation as result bubbles differs one type another. Therefore, difference in upon exposure (carpet bombardment) acts valuable indicator for diagnosis. developed system i...

BACKGROUND DNA methylation is an important mechanism for gene silencing and has already been described for several genes in breast cancer. A previous immunohistochemistry study demonstrated a decrease of K(v)1.3 potassium channel expression in breast adenocarcinoma compared to normal breast tissue. METHODS Methyl-specific PCR (MSP), immunohistochemistry and RNA extraction were performed on br...
