Purpose
The outcome of the luminal oestrogen receptor-positive (ER +) subtype of breast cancer (BC) is highly variable and patient stratification needs to be refined. We assessed the prognostic significance of oestrogen-regulated solute carrier fami... Read More about Oestrogen-regulated protein SLC39A6: a biomarker of good prognosis in luminal breast cancer.

Background: The prediction of clinical behaviour of breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and its progression to invasive disease remains a challenge. Alterations of DNA damage repair mechanisms are associated with invasive breast cancer (BC). This...

Glutamine metabolism has a key role in the regulation of uncontrolled tumour growth. This study aimed to evaluate the expression and prognostic significance of glutaminase in luminal breast cancer (BC). The glutaminase isoforms (GLS/GLS2) were assess...

The prognostic significance of Flap Endonuclease 1 (FEN1) in breast ductal carcinoma in situ (2021)
Journal Article

Background
Impaired DNA repair mechanism is one of the cancer hallmarks. Flap Endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is essential for genomic integrity. FEN1 has key roles during base excision repair (BER) and replication. We hypothesised a role for FEN1 in breast c... Read More about The prognostic significance of Flap Endonuclease 1 (FEN1) in breast ductal carcinoma in situ.
