© 2018 American Association for Cancer Research. Targeting PARP1 for synthetic lethality is a new strategy for breast cancers harboring germline mutations in BRCA. However, these mutations are rare, and reactivation of BRCA-mediated pathways may resu...

The spectrum of triple-negative breast disease: high- and low-grade lesions (2018)
Journal Article
Geyer, F. C., Pareja, F., Weigelt, B., Rakha, E., Ellis, I. O., Schnitt, S. J., & Reis-Filho, J. S. (2018). The spectrum of triple-negative breast disease: high- and low-grade lesions. American Journal of Pathology, 187(10), 2139-2151. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajpath.2017.03.016

Triple-negative breast cancer is viewed clinically as an aggressive subgroup of breast cancer. In fact, most triple-negative breast cancers are poor-prognosis tumors with a complex genomic landscape. However, triple-negative disease is vastly heterog... Read More about The spectrum of triple-negative breast disease: high- and low-grade lesions.

Breast cancer intratumour heterogeneity: current status and clinical implications (2018)
Journal Article
Joseph, C., Papadaki, A., Althobiti, M., Alsaleem, M., Aleskandarany, M. A., & Rakha, E. A. (2018). Breast cancer intratumour heterogeneity: current status and clinical implications. Histopathology, 73(5), 717-731. https://doi.org/10.1111/his.13642

Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease that varies in presentation, morphological features, behaviour, and response to therapy. High‐throughput molecular profiling studies have revolutionised our understanding of BC heterogeneity, and have dem...

Atypical ductal hyperplasia: update on diagnosis, management, and molecular landscape (2018)
Journal Article
Kader, T., Hill, P., Rakha, E. A., Campbell, I. G., & Gorringe, K. L. (2018). Atypical ductal hyperplasia: update on diagnosis, management, and molecular landscape. Breast Cancer Research, 20, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13058-018-0967-1

Background
Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is a common diagnosis in the mammographic era and a significant clinical problem with wide variation in diagnosis and treatment. After a diagnosis of ADH on biopsy a proportion are upgraded to carcinoma u... Read More about Atypical ductal hyperplasia: update on diagnosis, management, and molecular landscape.

Tumour heterogeneity of breast cancer: from morphology to personalised medicine (2018)
Journal Article
Aleskandarany, M. A., Vandenberghe, M. E., Marchiò, C., Ellis, I. O., Sapino, A., & Rakha, E. A. (2018). Tumour heterogeneity of breast cancer: from morphology to personalised medicine. Pathobiology, 85(1-2), 23-34. https://doi.org/10.1159/000477851

Breast cancer (BC) displays striking clinical, morphological, and behavioural diversity within a single tumour and between tumours. Currently, mounting evidence indicates that the morphological heterogeneity of BC reflects an underlying spectrum of g...

Prognostic significance of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast (2018)
Journal Article
Toss, M. S., Miligy, I., Al-Kawaz, A., Alsleem, M., Khout, H., Rida, P. C., Aneja, R., Green, A. R., Ellis, I. O., & Rakha, E. (in press).

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) provide prognostic value in invasive breast cancer and guidelines for their assessment have been published. This study aims to evaluate: (a) methods of TILs assessment, and (b) their prognostic significance in br...

CHIP/STUB1 ubiquitin ligase is a negative co-chaperone for HSP90/HSC70, and its expression is reduced or lost in several cancers, including breast cancer. Using an extensive and well-annotated breast cancer tissue collection, we identified the loss o...
