Clinicopathological significance of human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) expression in oestrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer (2014)
Journal Article
Oestrogen metabolites can induce oxidative DNA base damage and generate potentially mutagenic apurinic sites (AP sites) in the genomic DNA. If unrepaired, mutagenic AP sites could drive breast cancer pathogenesis and aggressive phenotypes. Human apur...

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%...

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...

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...

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...

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.
Background Long-term analysis of a randomised trial in Nottingham comparing tamoxifen versus surgery as initial treatment demonstrated that in oestrogen receptor (ER)-unselected cases, surgery achieved better local control, with no difference in ove... Read More about A randomised trial of primary tamoxifen versus mastectomy plus adjuvant tamoxifen in fit elderly women with invasive breast carcinoma of high oestrogen receptor content: long-term results at 20 years of follow-up.
The prognostic and predictive power of redox rotein expression for anthracycline-based chemotherapy response in locally advanced breast cancer (2012)
Journal Article
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become the standard of care for locally advanced primary breast cancer. Anthracycline-based regimens have proven to be one of the most effective treatments in this setting. As certain cytotoxic antineoplastic agents, such...

A "non-parametric" version of the naive Bayes classifier (2011)
Journal Article
Many algorithms have been proposed for the machine learning task of classication. One of the simplest methods, the naive Bayes classifyer, has often been found to give good performance despite the fact that its underlying assumptions (of independence...

Expression of thioredoxin system and related peroxiredoxin proteins is associated with clinical outcome in radiotherapy treated early stage breast cancer (2011)
Journal Article
Background and purpose Deregulated redox systems provide cancer cells protection from increased oxidative stress, such as that induced by ionizing radiation. Expression of the thioredoxin system proteins (thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase and thior...

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...

Redox Protein Expression Predicts Radiotherapeutic Response in Early-Stage Invasive Breast Cancer Patients (2011)
Journal Article
Purpose Early-stage invasive breast cancer patients have commonly undergone breast-conserving surgery and radiotherapy. In a large majority of these patients, the treatment is effective; however, a proportion will develop local recurrence. Deregul...

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’...

A comparison of three different methods for classification of breast cancer data (2008)
Conference Proceeding
The classification of breast cancer patients is of great importance in cancer diagnosis. During the last few years, many algorithms have been proposed for this task. In this paper, we review different supervised machine learning techniques for classi... Read More about A comparison of three different methods for classification of breast cancer data.
Total loss of MHC class I is an independent indicator of good prognosis in breast cancer (2005)
Journal Article
Tumours can be recognised by CTL and NK cells. CTL recognition depends on expression of MHC Class I loaded with peptides from tumour antigens. In contrast, loss of MHC Class I results in NK activation. In our study a large set of samples from patient...
