Although most breast spindle cell lesions (BSCLs) are rare, they constitute a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from reactive processes to aggressive malignant tumours. Despite their varied histogenesis and behaviour, some lesions show an overlap of... Read More about An approach to the diagnosis of spindle cell lesions of the breast.

Salivary gland-like and dermal analogue tumours of the breast are rare lesions that can be diagnostically challenging for pathologists. Data on the clinical behaviour and molecular characterisation of these mammary tumours are limited and their desig...

Construction of tissue microarrays from core needle biopsies: a systematic literature review (2015)
Journal Article
Albanghali, M., Green, A., Rakha, E., Aleskandarany, M., Nolan, C., Ellis, I., & Cheung, K.-L. (2016). Construction of tissue microarrays from core needle biopsies: a systematic literature review. Histopathology, 68(3), 323-332. https://doi.org/10.1111/his.12802

In some clinical circumstances, core needle biopsy (CNB) may be the only source of material from cancer tissue for diagnostic use. The volume of tissue available in a CNB is low, and opportunities for research use can therefore be limited. The tissue...

Morphogenesis of the papillary lesions of the breast: phenotypic observation (2015)
Journal Article

Papillary lesions of the breast are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by the presence epithelial proliferation supported by fibrovascular stalks. Normal breast tissue does not show papillary morphology and the mechanisms underlying papi... Read More about Morphogenesis of the papillary lesions of the breast: phenotypic observation.

Stratification of oestrogen receptor (ER) negative and triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs) is urgently needed. In the current study, a cohort of 880 ER- (including 635 TNBCs) was immuno-profiled for a panel of DNA repair proteins including: Pol β,...

FK506-binding protein-like (FKBPL) has established roles as an anti-tumor protein, with a therapeutic peptide based on this protein, ALM201, shortly entering phase I/II clinical trials. Here, we evaluated FKBPL’s prognostic ability in primary breast... Read More about FKBPL: a marker of good prognosis in breast cancer.
