In luminal HER2-negative early breast cancer with up to three involved lymph nodes, evidence-based multigene assays (e.g., Oncotype DX, MammaPrint, EndoPredict, Prosigna, Breast Cancer Index) have become available for accurate assessment of relapse risk. All these tests were developed and ...
Breast cancer (BC) ranks second in the cancer fatality rate among females worldwide. Mammogram, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), blood testing, and fine needle aspiration biopsy are usually applied to discriminate BC patients from normal persons. False-negative results, undetectable calcif...
Breast Cancer Index. This test can help your doctor decide how you need endocrine therapy. MammaPrint. This test uses information from 70 genes to predict the risk of the cancer coming back. PAM50 (Prosigna). This test uses information from 50 genes to predict if the cancer will spread. Yo...
A woman carrying BRCA gene has 50 % lifetime risk of developing breast cancer and this type of Breast Cancer tends to occur at younger ages. Who should undergo BRCA testing? This is an important question, which need to be properly answered, and people be made aware of this important ...
Survival curves showing cumulative survival differences (end point=breast cancer-specific survival) between patients positive or negative for HER2. P-value represents log-rank testing of the difference in cumulative survival. Full size image Table 2 Subgroup hazard ratio analysis (Cox regression) Full ...
The nature of cancer cells and what makes cancer such a threat to us all is its ability to spread, hide, mutate and RETURN WITH A VENGEANCE. More and more doctors and survivors agree that being "cancer free" does not necessarily mean we are truly ever out of the woods. Some even renam...
Scientists used mathematical models to show that analysing genetic data, alongside a range of other risk factors, could substantially improve the ability to flag up women at highest risk of developing breast cancer. Their study showed that prevention strategies could be improved by testing not only ...
GWAS have identified a breast cancer susceptibility locus on 2q35. Here we report the fine mapping of this locus using data from 101,943 subjects from 50 case-control studies. We genotype 276 SNPs using the ‘iCOGS’ genotyping array and impute genotypes for a further 1,284 using 1000 Genom...
At present, the molecular subtypes of breast cancer are determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of biopsy specimen, which is a surrogate for genetic testing, as the genetic analysis is quite costly14,15. Unfortunately, the biopsy procedure limits the assessment to a small part of the ...
