Familial Cancers Associated With Cancers of the Breast, Prostate, Colorectum, and Lung in Sweden
ABSTRACT Available epidemiological evidence shows that many cancers share familial risks, and this is increasingly confirmed by data on shared pathogenic germline gene variants between cancers. We decided to harness the world's largest resource on familial cancer to assess discordant familial risks for female breast (BC), prostate (PC), colorectal (CRC)

Epidemiological and genetic considerations in retinoblastoma [PDF]
Retinoblastoma is usually initiated by a random mutation of a gene in a retinal cell. It is important to try and recognise if the child has germline retinoblastoma, as this may affect both eyes of the child.

RB1 Germline Variant Predisposing to a Rare Ovarian Germ Cell Tumor: A Case Report
Malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs) are neoplasms of the ovary, of which, due to their rarity and heterogeneity, few is reported about genetic background and development. Here, we report a 18-years old patient diagnosed with an ovarian mixed germ

A physical map around the retinoblastoma gene
The gene predisposing to retinoblastoma, RB1, has been mapped to 13q14 and a cDNA clone has been isolated. Alterations of this chromosomal region are found not only in retinoblastoma, but in other tumor types including bone and soft tissue sarcomas, gastric tumors, small cell lung cancer, hematologic malignancies, rhabdomyosarcoma, and breast cancer ...

Hsp90 Inhibition on the Western Blot: N‐Terminal Versus C‐Terminal Inhibitors in Breast Cancer
ABSTRACT Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an established and clinically validated anticancer target. By regulating the folding and maturation of diverse client proteins, it is indirectly involved in carcinogenesis. Key breast cancer oncogenic drivers, including estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, are ...

The retinoblastoma paradigm revisited
BACKGROUND: Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most common primary malignant intraocular tumour in childhood. The "two hit" theory, formulated by Knudson in 1971 to explain the variegated clinical expression of the disease, led to the discovery of the so called

Consideraciones clínicas, diagnósticas y de tratamiento en retinoblastoma
El retinoblastoma es el tumor intraocular primario más frecuente en la infancia. Su detección temprana y el inicio del tratamiento adecuado permiten mejorar dramáticamente la sobrevida en estos niños. En este artículo se hace una revisión general de
