Limited Prognostic Value of c-erbB-2 Compared to uPA and PAI-1 in Primary Breast Carcinoma
In a retrospective study of 488 women with primary breast cancer, after a median follow-up of 10 years, we sought interactions between disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) and tumor antigen levels of two components of the plasminogen ...

Breast cancer or metastasis? An unusual case of metastatic malignant pleural mesothelioma to the breast [PDF]
Background: Metastases to the breast from extramammary malignancies are very rare, and ruling out the diagnosis of primary breast tumor is important in order to decide on clinical management and predict prognosis.

Relationship between p53 expression and gastric cancers in cardia and antrum [PDF]
Background: The mutations in p53 gene and accumulation of p53 protein are the most common genetic events in gastric carcinomas. The present study was conducted to compare the frequency of p53 gene overexpression in a consecutive series of adenocarcinomas

乳腺浸润性导管癌c-erbB-2的表达与淋巴结转移和肿瘤细胞分裂能力的关系
目的探讨乳腺浸润性导管癌中c-erbB-2与肿瘤生物学特性的关系。方法应用免疫组化SP方法对检测乳腺浸润性导管癌c-erbB-2的表达情况极其淋巴结转移和癌细胞分裂能力的相关性。结果c-erbB-2阳性表达主要分布在肿瘤细胞的胞膜上;随着c-erbB-2表达强度的降低,肿瘤淋巴结转移率呈减少的趋势;肿瘤组织中细胞的核分裂数目随着c-erbB-2的表达强度增加而增多。结论c-erbB-2是乳腺癌细胞增殖、转移能力和预后判定的参考指标。

Cancer vaccines: uses of HLA transgenic mice compared to genetically modified mice [PDF]
Many tumor antigens have been identified that can be targeted by the immune system. Animal models that have been genetically modified to express human HLA molecules instead of their own MHC antigens have shown to be valuable in the discovery of peptides ...
