Caspase-3 and caspase-8 expression in breast cancer: caspase-3 is associated with survival (2016)
Journal Article

Impaired apoptosis is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Caspase-3 and -8 are key regulators of the apoptotic response and have been shown to interact with the calpain family, a group of cysteine proteases, during tumorigenesis. The current study sought...

Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in breast cancers (2016)
Journal Article

Background Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are signalling transduction molecules that have different functions and diverse behaviour in cancer. In breast cancer, MAPK is related to oestrogen receptor (ER) and HER2. Methods Protein express...

Clinical and biological significance of RAD51 expression in breast cancer: a key DNA damage response protein (2016)
Journal Article

Impaired DNA damage response (DDR) may play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer (BC). RAD51 is a key player in DNA double-strand break repair. In this study, we aimed to assess the biological and clinical significance of RAD51 exp...

Impact of intratumoural heterogeneity on the assessment of Ki67 expression in breast cancer (2016)
Journal Article

In breast cancer (BC), the prognostic value of Ki67 expression is well-documented. Intratumoural heterogeneity (ITH) of Ki67 expression is amongst the several technical issues behind the lag of its inclusion into BC prognostic work-up. The immunohist...

Nottingham prognostic index plus (NPI+) predicts risk of distant metastases in primary breast cancer (2016)
Journal Article

The Nottingham prognostic index plus (NPI+) is based on the assessment of biological class combined with established clinicopathologic prognostic variables providing improved patient outcome stratification for breast cancer superior to the traditiona... Read More about Nottingham prognostic index plus (NPI+) predicts risk of distant metastases in primary breast cancer.

RECQL4 helicase has oncogenic potential in sporadic breast cancers (2016)
Journal Article

RECQL4 helicase is a molecular motor that unwinds DNA, a process essential during DNA replication and DNA repair. Germ-line mutations in RECQL4 cause type II Rothmund–Thomson syndrome (RTS), characterized by a premature ageing phenotype and cancer pr...
