OBJECTIVE To determine the scoring of Estrogen Receptor (ER) status in carcinoma breast by Allred method that is essentially bimodal and to compare the results with a conventional scoring system. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective, comparative study carried out at Aga Khan University Hospital Section of Histopathology over a period of 18 months, i.e., Jan 2005 to June 2006. Anti ER antibod...

PURPOSE This study evaluated estrogen receptor (ER)-beta mRNA and ER-beta protein expression and its prognostic implications in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. METHODS Paraffin sections from 139 hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cases were prepared. The expression of ER-beta mRNA and protein were analyzed by branched-chain assay and immunohistochemistry (IHC), respectively. R...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the role of IGF-1 in the development of nodular thyroid disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total number of 100 consecutive patients operated for nodular thyroid disease in our institution were included in this prospective study. In addition to classical pathological examinations, nodules and extranodular healthy tissues were sampled and immunochemically s...

BACKGROUND Palladin is a metastasis-associated gene regulating cell motility. The expression of palladin protein in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PET) and carcinomas (PECA) is not known. MATERIALS AND METHODS A tissue microarray (TMA) of well-differentiated (WD) PETs/PECAs (AJCC 2010) and non-neoplastic, histologically normal pancreatic tissue/islets (HNPIs) was immunostained with palladi...
