Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women, where hormone receptor-positive (HR+; estrogen receptor and/or progesterone receptor) BC comprises the majority (>50%) and has better prognosis, while a minority (<20%) are triple negative BC (TNBC), which has an aggressive phenotype.
Multivariate analysis revealed that breast cancerprogesterone receptor negativity (HR = 3.34, p = 0.03) and a size of LM > 40 mm (HR = 3.11, p = 0.01) were significant negative prognostic factors for PFS.
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) refers to breast cancer that lacksprogesterone receptor (PR), estrogen receptor (ER) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2).
We conducted a case-control study (4,059 cases and 4,059 matched controls) nested within the E3N French cohort study to estimate the risk of breast cancer associated with long-term exposure to airborne cadmium pollution, and its effect according to molecular subtype of breast cancer (estrogen receptor negative/positive [ER-/ER+] and progesterone receptor negative/positive [PR-/PR+]).
In this paper, we present a prospective observational study, which determines the incidence of bone metastases and its correlation with hormonal receptors (estrogen receptor [ER]/progesterone receptor [PR]) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer.
The purpose in this study was to compare the discordance in estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) between primary and recurrent/metastatic lesions (RML) and also to evaluate the prognostic significance of change in tumor phenotype on survival in patients with metastatic BC.
The prevalence of triple-negative and hormone receptor-negative breast cancer (negative for estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor) among each group of foreign-born black women was compared with that among US-born black women and was expressed as the adjusted prevalence rate ratio, accounting for sociodemographic and tumor characteristics.
An additional set of established biomarkers including TP53 for chemotherapy in Luminal breast cancer (p = 1.01E-19, AUC = 0.769), HER2 for trastuzumab therapy (p = 8.4E-04, AUC = 0.629) and PGR for hormonal therapy (p = 8.6E-05, AUC = 0.7), are also endorsed.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subset of breast carcinomas that lack expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2).
We present a case of an 82-year-old woman with no family history of breast cancer (BC), who was diagnosed with de novo metastatic estrogen/progesterone receptor-positive and HER2-negative invasive lobular BC.
Estrogen/progesterone receptor expression in BC tumors was significantly higher in patients with BC/TC than matched BC-only patients, providing evidence that BC in the former was biologically unique.
We investigated parity, breastfeeding, and breast cancer risk by hormone-receptor (estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR)) and molecular subtypes (luminal A, luminal B, HER2-enriched, and basal-like) in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS; 1976-2012) and NHSII (1989-2013).
Very interestingly, NMK-T-057 was found to inhibit proliferation, colony-forming ability, and motility in various breast cancer (BC) cells such as MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, 4T1 (triple-negative cells), and MCF-7 (estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR)-positive cell line) with negligible cytotoxicity against noncancerous cells (MCF-10A and peripheral blood mononuclear cells).
The aim of the present study was to analyze metastasized breast cancer (BC) patients with regard to the discordance of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2).
MetaCore Enrichment analysis identified progesterone receptor action and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling via miRNA in breast cancer as pathways downstream of the upregulated miRNAs and TGFβ signaling via SMADs and Notch signaling as pathways of the downregulated miRNAs.
The therapeutic strategy for breast cancer is determined by the surrogate subtype, which is defined by biomarkers, such as estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), and Ki-67.
This aggressive breast cancer entity lacks expression of oestrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), and it does not overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2).
Molecular evaluation of PROGINS mutation in Progesterone Receptor gene and determination of its frequency, distribution pattern and association with Breast Cancer susceptibility in Saudi Arabia.
Hormone receptor (HR)-negative BC is associated with a higher TMB and immune gene expression compared with HR-positive BC [TMB, estrogen receptor (ER)-negative vs. ER-negative, 55 vs. 32, respectively; P=4.1×10<sup>-13</sup>; progesterone receptor (PR)-negative vs. PR-positive, 53 vs. 31, respectively; P<2.2×10<sup>-16</sup>].
