By meta-analysis using Oncomine microarray data, we found that higher Adamts17 expression is found in several human cancer cell subtypes, especially in breast ductal carcinoma.
In CGH analysis, the patients showed typical imbalances for ductal breast cancer: gains of 1q (3 patients), 5q (2 patients), 8q (3 patients), and X (4 patients) and losses of 1p33 approximately p36 (3 patients), 16q (3 patients), 17p (3 patients), 19 (4 patients), and 22q (4 patients).
Immunohistochemical staining results showed VAP-1 negative or weak staining in normal ducts and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), but these phenotypes were positively associated with a stiffened VAP-1 that presented at the invasive front of the lesion.
In the past two decades, multiple studies have revealed that SMAD4 loss on its own does not initiate tumor formation, but can promote tumor progression initiated by other genes, such as KRAS activation in pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma and APC inactivation in colorectal cancer.
In MPD, no difference of AR expression between MPD alone (7/18, 38.89%) and MPD with underling ductal carcinoma of breast (22/70, 31.43%) was identified (<i>P</i> = 0.548).
We recently reported ZAG expression in breast tumor or healthy breast tissue and detected this expression at high levels in ductal carcinoma and in normal epithelial adjacent tissue but not in normal tissue of healthy women.
We analyzed 25 cases of archived, paraffin-embedded breast carcinoma (ductal) for Feulgen stain DNA analysis and MIB-1 immunohistochemistry using the CAS 200 Image Cytometer.
Chromosome 1 aneusomy with 1p36 under-representation is related to histologic grade, DNA aneuploidy, high c-erb B-2 and loss of bcl-2 expression in ductal breast carcinoma.
BMI1 gene was co-regulated (down) with PR in the invasive ductal breast carcinoma with relative progression explicating it a diagnostic biomarker for ductal carcinoma of the breast.
Although, in IHC studies, nuclear BRAFV600E (VE1) protein expression was found in 14 (15%) of the analyzed cases: nine of 28 (32%) cases of pleomorphic adenoma, three of five (60%) cases of ductal carcinoma, one of nine (11%) case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and in one of five (20%) case of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.
We report the case of a 46-year-old woman previously treated for ductal adenocarcinoma of the breast with BRCA-1 who subsequently was diagnosed with multicentric glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in the right temporal and right occipital lobes.
In the present study, barbatolic acid was isolated from the acetone extract of Bryoria capillaris, and its anti-breast cancer and anti-angiogenic potential was investigated using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), human breast ductal carcinoma (T-47D) and cisplatin-resistant BRCA2-mutated human breast TNM stage IV adenocarcinoma (HCC1428) cells.
We describe the parental origin and functional characterization of a novel de novo BRCA2 splice site mutation found in a patient exhibiting a ductal carcinoma at the age of 40.
These results demonstrate that E-cadherin-negative ductal carcinoma is rare, and in these cases p120 and β-catenin maintained their membranous localization, suggesting a functional E-cadherin-membrane complex.
We have collected some information from 210 cases of Ductal breast cancer (pT1 - pT2) such as tumour size, histological differentiation degree, lymph node status and tumor necrosis in the infiltrating component and we have evaluated the number of apoptotic cells or bodies by TUNEL technique as well as immunohistochemical studies to evaluate the expression of caspase 3 and caspase 6, and proliferation index.
