Diagnosis of papillary breast lesions is challenging for most pathologists, and these lesions pose problems for patient management. I encountered an unusual breast tumor identical to solid papillary carcinoma. The histological and cytological features with immunohistochemical characteristics of this tumor are described.

Cancer is an increasing problem for low- and middle-income countries undergoing an epidemiologic transition from dominantly acute communicable disease to more frequent chronic disease with increased public health successes in the former domain. Progress against cancer in high-income countries has been modest and has come at enormous expense. There are several well-conceived global policy and pl...

Real-world observable physical and chemical characteristics are increasingly being calculated from the 3D structures of biomolecules. Methods for calculating pKa values, binding constants of ligands, and changes in protein stability are readily available, but often the limiting step in computational biology is the conversion of PDB structures into formats ready for use with biomolecular simulat...

The process of carcinogenicity presents a major challenge to scientists and provides limited tools for its control. Indian health services are also not adequately equipped with facilities and expertise for management of cancers. Mortality and morbidity due to tobacco use is very high. In view of the national priorities, the focus of research in the field of cancer has been on the aetiology with...

Tumor microenvironment regulates cancer cell survival, metastasis, inflammation, and immune surveillance. There is growing evidence that the lymph node (LN) microenvironment, especially lymph node stromal cells (LNSCs), play a significant role in solid tumor growth, drug resistance, and subsequent extra-nodal metastasis of many types of cancer. A comprehensive understanding of the associated mo...

ln 1969, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) initiated a programme to evaluate the carcinogenic risk of chemicals to humans and to produce monographs on individual chemicals. The Monographs programme has since been expanded to include consideration of exposures to complex mixtures of chemicals (which occur, for example, in sorne occupations and as a result of human habits) an...

As a result of increased public awareness and the advocacy of the cancer support community, Congress directed the Department of Defense to execute targeted biomedical research programs for prostate cancer (PC) research. As a PC survivor and member of the Walter Reed PC support community, in August of 2011, I was given the opportunity to participate in an evaluation process that led to the selec...
