PURPOSE: The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in breast cancer progression and metastasis. Lipocalin 2 (LCN2) is involved in the regulation of EMT. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathological significance... Read More about Clinicopathological significance of lipocalin 2 nuclear expression in invasive breast cancer.

Prognostic Significance of KN Motif and Ankyrin Repeat Domains 1 (KANK1) in Invasive Breast Cancer (2019)
Journal Article

Background: KN Motif and Ankyrin Repeat Domains 1 (KANK1) plays an important role in cytoskeleton maintenance and contributes to the regulation of cell proliferation, adhesion and apoptosis. KANK1 is involved in progression of a variety of solid tumo... Read More about Prognostic Significance of KN Motif and Ankyrin Repeat Domains 1 (KANK1) in Invasive Breast Cancer.

The prognostic significance of wild type isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) in breast cancer (2019)
Journal Article
Aljohani, A. I., Toss, M. S., Kurozumi, S., Joseph, C., Aleskandarany, M. A., Miligy, I. M., …Rakha, E. (2020). The prognostic significance of wild type isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) in breast cancer. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 179(1), 79–90. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-019-05459-7

Background: Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is a prerequisite step in breast cancer (BC) metastasis. We have previously identified wild type isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) as a key putative driver of LVI. Thus, we explored the prognostic significanc...

Machine learning-based prediction of breast cancer growth rate in-vivo (2019)
Journal Article
Bhattarai, S., Klimov, S., Aleskandarany, M. A., Burrell, H., Wormall, A., Green, A. R., …Aneja, R. (2019). Machine learning-based prediction of breast cancer growth rate in-vivo. British Journal of Cancer, 121, 497–504. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41416-019-0539-x

Background Determining the rate of breast cancer (BC) growth in vivo, which can predict prognosis, has remained elusive despite its relevance for treatment, screening recommendations and medicolegal practice. We developed a model that predicts the r... Read More about Machine learning-based prediction of breast cancer growth rate in-vivo.

Prognostic Role of Androgen Receptor in Triple Negative Breast Cancer: A Multi-Institutional Study (2019)
Journal Article
