RECEPTORS IN BREAST CANCER RESISTANT TO CHEMOTHERAPY

Therapy targeted to the human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) is used in combination with cytotoxic therapy in treatment of HER2+ breast cancer. Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets HER2, has been shown pre-clinically to induce vascular changes that can increase delivery of[r]

The relationships among PIK3CA mutations, medication use and tumor progression remains poorly understood. Aspirin use post-diagnosis may modify components of the PI3K pathway, including AKT and mTOR, and has been associated with lower risk of breast cancer recurrence and mortality.

Previously, we have shown that miR-18a and miR-18b gene expression strongly correlates with high proliferation, oestrogen receptor -negativity (ER− ), cytokeratin 5/6 positivity and basal-like features of breast cancer.

unlikely to be the main driving force for its evolution, as even among species that are monogamous manyhave fathers that never provide for their offspring.H. That leaves an interesting question: if monogamy is an evolutionary oddity rather than a trend, how doesevolution occasionally redesign[r]

It is well known that women suffer from negative consequences following breast cancer (BC) treatment and that their largely varying needs for rehabilitation are often unmet.

Patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) are commonly treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib, which blocks signalling from vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) - and platelet-derived growth factor-receptors, inhibiting development of new blood vessels.

Downy mildew, caused by Sclerospora graminicola (Sacc.) Schroet, is a disease of great economic significance in the production of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum). Host physiology particularly host metabolites and oxidising enzymes get disturbed due to attack of Sclerospora graminicola. Altered sta[r]

Long-term survival in numerous cancers often correlates with specific whole transcriptome profiles or the expression patterns of smaller numbers of transcripts. In some instances, these are better predictors of survival than are standard classification methods such as clinical stage or hormone recep[r]

Self-management is becoming essential for breast cancer survivors, but evidence about the effectiveness of self-management support (SMS) intervention is lacking. To address this issue, we developed a theory-based SMS intervention, the ‘EMPOWER’, aimed at empowering breast cancer survivors. Here we d[r]

Breast cancer treatment is tailored to the specific cancer subtype. Often, systemic treatment is given prior to surgery. Chemotherapy induces significant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated cell death and upregulation of 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78).
