Clinical-pathological features of an occult mixed mucinous male breast cancer. a case report [PDF]
Mucinous carcinoma of the male breast is an uncommon malignant breast neoplasm and its diagnoses remain difficult. It is probably due to such a low rate of breast cancer cases that men tend to be diagnosed at an older age than women and with a later ...

miR-331-3p Regulates ERBB-2 Expression and Androgen Receptor Signaling in Prostate Cancer [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and are aberrantly expressed in human cancer. The ERBB-2 tyrosine kinase receptor is frequently overexpressed in prostate cancer and is associated with disease progression and poor survival.

Afatinib efficacy against squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck cell lines in vitro and in vivo. [PDF]
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). In addition to EGFR, other ErbB family members are expressed and activated in SCCHN. Afatinib is an ErbB family blocker

ErbB-2 Receptor Cooperates with E6/E7 Oncoproteins of HPV Type 16 in Breast Tumorigenesis [PDF]
The ErbB-2 receptor is overexpressed in roughly 30% of human breast cancers. Moreover, approximately 50% of breast cancers are positive for high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs), specifically types 16 and 18. Recently, we reported that ErbB-2 cooperates with E6/E7 oncoproteins of HPV type 16 to induce neoplastic transformation of human normal oral ...

Inhibition of the EGF receptor by binding of MIG6 to an activating kinase domain interface. [PDF]
Members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family (EGFR/ERBB1, ERBB2/HER2, ERBB3/HER3 and ERBB4/HER4) are key targets for inhibition in cancer therapy.

Progesterone Receptor Induces ErbB-2 Nuclear Translocation To Promote Breast Cancer Growth via a Novel Transcriptional Effect: ErbB-2 Function as a Coactivator of Stat3 [PDF]
Progesterone receptor (PR) and ErbB-2 bidirectional cross talk participates in breast cancer development. Here, we identified a new mechanism of the PR and ErbB-2 interaction involving the PR induction of ErbB-2 nuclear translocation and the assembly of a transcriptional complex in which ErbB-2 acts as a coactivator of Stat3.

Trastuzumab Resistance: Role for Notch Signaling
Epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (ErbB-2/HER2) is a potent breast oncogene that has been shown to be amplified in 20% of breast cancers. Overexpression of ErbB-2 predicts for aggressive tumor behavior, resistance to some cytotoxic and antihormonal ...
