Mutations of the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) account for about 40-45% of hereditary breast cancer cases. Moreover, a significant fraction of sporadic (non-hereditary) breast and ovarian cancers exhibit reduced or absent expression of the BRCA1 protein, suggesting an additional role for BRCA1 in sporadic cancers. BRCA1 follows the classic pattern of a highly penetrant...
The study of pathologically normal breast epithelium of BRCA mutation carriers may yield insights into the early natural history of breast tumorigenesis. Hormone receptor expression was assessed in 24 cases of invasive breast cancer associated with a mutation in BRCA1 (n = 15) or BRCA2 (n = 9) and in 39 sporadic cases matched for patient age and tumor hormone receptor status. Expression of prog...
PURPOSE The question of whether or not non-sporadic breast malignancies have different immunohistochemical features than sporadic malignancies has not been investigated previously. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to compare the expression of E-cadherin (EC) in breast cancer patients with positive and negative oncologic histories. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 98 breast c...
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women all over the world. In addition to hormonal and environmental causes, family history is emerging as an important risk factor in the etiology of this disease. The aim of the present study is thus to compare the clinico-pathological features of familial and sporadic breast cancer in Moroccan patients. METHODS A comparative retro...
PARP inhibitors have gained recent attention due to their highly selective killing of BRCA1/2-mutated and DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair-deficient tumors. Unfortunately, the majority of sporadic breast cancers carry wild-type BRCA1/2 and are proficient in DSB repair. We and others have shown that BRCA1 is a nuclear/cytoplasm shuttling protein that is transiently exported from the nucleus ...
In addition to the mutations that underlie most cases of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome, somatic mutations of the MEN1 gene have also been described in sporadic tumors like gastrinomas, insulinomas and bronchial carcinoid neoplasm. We examined exon 2 of this gene, where most of the mutations have been described, in 148 endocrine and nonendocrine sporadic tumors. DNA was...
Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 increase a woman's lifetime risk of developing breast cancer by 43% to 84%. It was originally postulated that BRCA1/2-associated breast cancers develop more rapidly than sporadic cancers and may lack preinvasive lesions. More recent studies have found preinvasive lesions in prophylactic mastectomy specimens from mutation carriers; however, there is little informatio...
The BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene and the HER-2/neu oncogene are located in close proximity on the long arm of chromosome 17 (17q11-21). Absence of BRCA1 or functional overexpression of the HER-2/neu gene presumably contributes to the somatic phenotype of breast cancer in premenopausal women, characterized by unfavorable prognostic features such as high tumor grade, hormone receptor negativity, a...
Breast cancer is the most common female malignancy worldwide. Despite the high incidence of sporadic cases, the rate of familial breast cancer is low. The tumor suppressor gene TP53 (alias p53), located on chromosome 17, has been involved in various malignancies. Mutations in codon 72 of TP53 have been studied in breast cancer and most solid tumors. For study of polymorphisms and allele frequen...
recent studies have indicated the profound anti-tumor activity of artemisinin's compounds, among which; arteether is an oil-soluble derivative of artemisinin with an endoperoxide bridge that can induce apoptosis in tumor cells but not in the normal cells. an experiment was carried out on tumor-bearing balb/c mice to estimate the effects of arteether on tumor growth and antitumor im...
