breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. breast cancer in one third of all patients will go on to metastasis, which is the main cause of mortality in cancer cases. tumor cells detach from primary tumor and enter into the circulation as circulating tumor cells (ctcs) which can form metastatic lesions. in this study, the expression of ck-19 gene in blood samples of metastatic b...

INTRODUCTION Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world among women and its effective control depends upon sufficient knowledge about its epidemiology at the regional as well as global levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS A record based descriptive study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital situated in coastal Karnataka in South India. Cases included were all histopathological...

The p53 protein is at the center of cell regulatory pathways influencing transcription and activity of several replication and transcription factors. In exon 4 of the gene TP53, a codon 72 polymorphism causing an Arg/Pro substitution has been reported in breast and other cancers. This substitution is in the putative SH3 binding domain of p53 protein, influencing binding capacity and thereby fun...

BACKGROUND The lower incidence of breast cancer in Asian populations where the intake of animal products is lower than that of Western populations has led some to suggest that a vegetarian diet might reduce breast cancer risk. METHODS Between 2011 and 2014 we conducted a multicentre hospital based case-control study in eight cancer centres in India. Eligible cases were women aged 30-70 years,...

In the past three years, covid-19 viruses have spread rapidly worldwide, while low and middle-income countries were affected mostly so far. Emergency limits imposed due to rapid infection significant mortality rates. Only emergency medical treatments are available during these shutdowns lockdowns in India. All non-emergency treatments, such as Breast Cancer Screening Program (BCSP), been tempor...

background: breast cancer is the malignancy in humans and other mammals. several risk factors are involved in their appearance such as higher hormone levels and obesity. identification of a mouse mammary tumor virus supports a viral etiology for breast tumors in animals. viruses have been implicated in the development of various cancers, but viral induction for formation breast cancer is contro...

introduction raman spectroscopy is a vibrational spectroscopic technique, based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. this technique can provide valuable information about biomolecular changes, associated with neoplastic transformation. the purpose of this study was to find raman spectral markers for distinguishing normal samples from cancerous ones in different tissues. materials and...
