Dynamics of breast-cancer relapse reveal late-recurring ER-positive genomic subgroups (2019)
Journal Article

The rates and routes of lethal systemic spread in breast cancer are poorly understood owing to a lack of molecularly characterized patient cohorts with long-term, detailed follow-up data. Long-term follow-up is especially important for those with oes... Read More about Dynamics of breast-cancer relapse reveal late-recurring ER-positive genomic subgroups.

SHON expression predicts response and relapse risk of breast cancer patients after anthracycline-based combination chemotherapy or tamoxifen treatment (2019)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: SHON nuclear expression (SHON-Nuc+) was previously reported to predict clinical outcomes to tamoxifen therapy in ER?+ breast cancer (BC). Herein we determined if SHON expression detected by specific monoclonal antibodies could provide a m...

The molecular mechanisms underlying reduced E-cadherin expression in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast: high throughput analysis of large cohorts (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, United States & Canadian Academy of Pathology. E-cadherin is a tumor suppressor gene in invasive lobular breast cancer. However, a proportion of high-grade ductal carcinoma shows reduced/loss of E-cadherin. In this study, we assessed the un...

The prognostic significance of lysosomal protective protein (Cathepsin A) in breast ductal carcinoma in situ (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Cathepsin A (CTSA) is a key regulatory enzyme for galactoside metabolism. Additionally, it has a distinct proteolytic activity and plays a role in tumour progression. CTSA is differentially expressed at the mRNA level between br... Read More about The prognostic significance of lysosomal protective protein (Cathepsin A) in breast ductal carcinoma in situ.

Liver kinase B1—a potential therapeutic target in hormone-sensitive breast cancer in older women (2019)
Journal Article

Background: The role of liver kinase B1 (LKB1), a serine/threonine kinase, has been described in the development of PeutzJagher’s syndrome, where a proportion (~45%) of patients have developed breast cancer in their lifetime. Cell line studies have l... Read More about Liver kinase B1—a potential therapeutic target in hormone-sensitive breast cancer in older women.

The combined expression of solute carriers is associated with a poor prognosis in highly proliferative ER+ breast cancer (2019)
Journal Article

Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease characterised by variant biology, metabolic activity, and patient outcome. Glutamine availability for growth and progression of BC is important in several BC sub...

Assessment of HMGA2 and PLAG1 rearrangements in breast adenomyoepitheliomas (2019)
Journal Article

Breast adenomyoepitheliomas (AMEs) are rare epithelial-myoepithelial neoplasms that may occasionally produce myxochondroid matrix, akin to pleomorphic adenomas (PAs). Regardless of their anatomic location, PAs often harbor rearrangements involving HM... Read More about Assessment of HMGA2 and PLAG1 rearrangements in breast adenomyoepitheliomas.

Expression of Lamin A/C in early-stage breast cancer and its prognostic value (2019)
Journal Article

Purpose: Lamins A/C, a major component of the nuclear lamina, plays key roles in maintaining nuclear integrity, regulation of gene expression, cell proliferation and apoptosis. Reduced lamin A/C expression in cancer has been reported to be a sign of... Read More about Expression of Lamin A/C in early-stage breast cancer and its prognostic value.
