Solid papillary breast carcinomas resembling the tall cell variant of papillary thyroid neoplasms: A Unique Invasive Tumor With Indolent Behavior (2017)
Journal Article

Thirteen cases of invasive solid papillary breast carcinomas resembling the tall cell variant of papillary thyroid neoplasms (BPTC) are reported here. Some cases had long-term follow-up. BPTC is a special type of primary breast neoplasm showing a tri...

Current trials to reduce surgical intervention in ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast: critical review (2017)
Journal Article

The high proportion of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) presented in mammographic screening and the relatively low risk of progression to invasive disease have raised questions related to overtreatment. Following a review of current DCIS management pr... Read More about Current trials to reduce surgical intervention in ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast: critical review.

Novel immunohistochemistry-based signatures to predict metastatic site of triple-negative breast cancers (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Although distant metastasis (DM) in breast cancer (BC) is the most lethal form of recurrence and the most common underlying cause of cancer related deaths, the outcome following the development of DM is related to the site of metastasis.... Read More about Novel immunohistochemistry-based signatures to predict metastatic site of triple-negative breast cancers.

FOXP1 expression correlates with better prognosis in invasive breast cancer including the ER-positive luminal subtype (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Background: Fork head box P1 (FOXP1) is a FOX family transcription factor influencing ERα;-regulated transcription by interaction with the ERα; related pioneer factor FOXA1. Altered FOXP1 expression is seen in breast and prostate cancers. This study... Read More about FOXP1 expression correlates with better prognosis in invasive breast cancer including the ER-positive luminal subtype.

Elevated expression of STK3 mRNA and protein is associated with poor outcome in invasive breast cancer (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Purpose of the study: The mammalian sterile 20-like kinase (MST2/STK3) and its close homologue MST1(STK4) are members of the germinal centre kinase group II (GCK II) family of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). High STK3 expression is known to... Read More about Elevated expression of STK3 mRNA and protein is associated with poor outcome in invasive breast cancer.

An updated PREDICT breast cancer prognostication and treatment benefit prediction model with independent validation (2017)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: PREDICT is a breast cancer prognostic and treatment benefit model implemented online. The overall fit of the model has been good in multiple independent case series, but PREDICT has been shown to underestimate breast cancer specific morta... Read More about An updated PREDICT breast cancer prognostication and treatment benefit prediction model with independent validation.

Ki67 expression in invasive breast cancer: the use of tissue microarrays compared with whole tissue sections (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Although the prognostic value of Ki67 in breast cancer is well documented, using optimal cut-points for patient stratification, reproducibility of the scoring and interpretation of the results remain a matter of debate particularly when u... Read More about Ki67 expression in invasive breast cancer: the use of tissue microarrays compared with whole tissue sections.

Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 7 (CCR7) associates with the tumour immune microenvironment but not progression in invasive breast carcinoma (2017)
Journal Article

Some previous studies have reported that the chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 7 (CCR7) plays a role in breast cancer, is associated with lymph node metastasis and drives the site of distant metastasis. However, the impact of its expression on patient o... Read More about Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 7 (CCR7) associates with the tumour immune microenvironment but not progression in invasive breast carcinoma.

Cyclin E overexpression as a biomarker for combination treatment strategies in inflammatory breast cancer (2017)
Journal Article

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a virulent form of breast cancer, and novel treatment strategies are urgently needed. Immunohistochemical analysis of tumors from women with a clinical diagnosis of IBC (n = 147) and those with non-IBC breast cance... Read More about Cyclin E overexpression as a biomarker for combination treatment strategies in inflammatory breast cancer.

Prognostic stratification of oestrogen receptor-positive HER2-negative lymph node-negative class of breast cancer (2016)
Journal Article

Aims Multigene assay is recommended currently for prognostic stratification of the clinically indeterminate group of breast cancer (BC) patients defined as lymph node (LN)?negative, oestrogen receptor (ER)?positive, HER2?negative (LN?/ER+/HER2?) t... Read More about Prognostic stratification of oestrogen receptor-positive HER2-negative lymph node-negative class of breast cancer.
