HER2/HER3 heterodimers and p21 expression are capable of predicting adjuvant trastuzumab response in HER2+ breast cancer (2014)
Journal Article

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) plays an important role in breast cancer progression and provides predictive information for response to targeted therapy including trastuzumab although this is limited. Downstream pathways, such as PI3... Read More about HER2/HER3 heterodimers and p21 expression are capable of predicting adjuvant trastuzumab response in HER2+ breast cancer.

Human epidermal growth receptor-2 overexpressing early operable primary breast cancers in older (>=70 years) women: biology and clinical outcome in comparison with younger (less than 70 years) patients (2014)
Journal Article

Introduction: There is dearth of literature reporting the prevalence and biological characteristics as well as the long-term clinical outcome of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) overexpressing tumours in older women. Currently, resea... Read More about Human epidermal growth receptor-2 overexpressing early operable primary breast cancers in older (>=70 years) women: biology and clinical outcome in comparison with younger (less than 70 years) patients.

Nottingham Prognostic Index Plus (NPI+): a modern clinical decision making tool in breast cancer (2014)
Journal Article

Current management of breast cancer (BC) relies on risk stratification based on well-defined clinicopathologic factors. Global gene expression profiling studies have demonstrated that BC comprises distinct molecular classes with clinical relevance. I...

SUMOylation proteins in breast cancer (2014)
Journal Article

Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier proteins (or SUMO) modify the function of protein substrates involved in various cellular processes including DNA damage response (DDR). It is becoming apparent that dysregulated SUMO contribute to carcinogenesis by affe... Read More about SUMOylation proteins in breast cancer.

Characterisation of HER heterodimers in breast cancer using in situ proximity ligation assay (2014)
Journal Article

HER2 plays an important role in breast cancer progression and provides predictive and prognostic information. HER2 receptor family members function through dimerisation, which can lead to impact on cell function, growth and differentiation; however,...

SHON Is a novel estrogen-regulated oncogene in mammary carcinoma that predicts patient response to endocrine therapy (2013)
Journal Article

Endocrine therapies are the primary systemic intervention for patients with estrogen receptor–positive (ER+) breast cancer. However, a significant proportion of initially responsive ER+ tumors develop resistance, with relapses occurring in up to 50%... Read More about SHON Is a novel estrogen-regulated oncogene in mammary carcinoma that predicts patient response to endocrine therapy.

PIAS? expression in relation to clinicopathological, tumour factors and survival in indigenous black breast cancer women (2013)
Journal Article

Aim: Indigenous black women with breast cancer (BC) show a high frequency of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) comprising ER-, PR- and HER2- phenotypes and BRCA1 deficiency together with a high mortality rate, prompting speculation that risk facto... Read More about PIAS? expression in relation to clinicopathological, tumour factors and survival in indigenous black breast cancer women.

C-Met in invasive breast cancer: is there a relationship with the basal-like subtype? (2013)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND Basal?like (BL) breast cancer is an aggressive form of breast cancer with limited treatment options. Recent work has identified BL breast cancer as a biologically distinct form of triple?negative breast cancer, with a worse outlook. The... Read More about C-Met in invasive breast cancer: is there a relationship with the basal-like subtype?.

Clinicopathological and molecular significance of Sumolyation marker (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme 9 (UBC9)) expression in breast cancer of black women (2013)
Journal Article

The majority of breast cancers (BC) in Nigerian women are triple negative and show breast cancer-associated gene 1 (BRCA1) deficiency as well as the basal like phenotype, with a high mortality rate. In contrast to the well-defined predictive factors... Read More about Clinicopathological and molecular significance of Sumolyation marker (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme 9 (UBC9)) expression in breast cancer of black women.

A quantifier-based fuzzy classification system for breast cancer patients (2013)
Journal Article

Objectives:Recent studies of breast cancer data have identified seven distinct clinical phenotypes (groups) using immunohistochemical analysis and a range of different clustering techniques. Consensus between unsupervised classification algorithms ha... Read More about A quantifier-based fuzzy classification system for breast cancer patients.

Calpain-1 expression is associated with relapse-free survival in breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab following adjuvant chemotherapy (2011)
Journal Article

The calpain family, and their endogenous inhibitor calpastatin, has been implicated in cancer progression, and recent in vitro data have indicated a role in trastuzumab resistance. The aims of our study were to examine expression levels of calpastati... Read More about Calpain-1 expression is associated with relapse-free survival in breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab following adjuvant chemotherapy.

A methodology to identify consensus classes from clustering algorithms applied to immunohistochemical data from breast cancer patients (2010)
Journal Article

Single clustering methods have often been used to elucidate clusters in high dimensional medical data, even though reliance on a single algorithm is known to be problematic. In this paper, we present a methodology to determine a set of ‘core classes’...
