The predictive value of lymphocyte infiltrates (LI) was studied in 489 patients with breast
cancer followed-up for over 10 years. LI were positively correlated to axillary lymph-node …

Several investigators, the SEER data, and the ECOG/Intergroup study have shown that
patients with small tumors (< 0.5 cm) have a recurrence rate of less than 2%, compared to 20 …

Purpose Prognostic and predictive factors are well established in early-stage breast cancer,
but less is known about which metastatic sites will be affected. Methods Patients with early …

Purpose To retrospectively evaluate the pattern of recurrence and outcome of node-negative
breast cancer (BC) according to major subtypes. Patients and Methods In all, 1,951 patients …

Objectives: The distant organs to which breast cancer preferentially metastasizes are of
significant clinical importance. Methods: We explored the relationship between the …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether positron emission
tomography (PET) with the glucose analog [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and the …

Background. We conducted an analysis of prospectively collected data to compare the
clinical behavior of ER-negative versus ER-positive tumors with respect to rates and sites of …

BACKGROUND The c‐met protooncogene encodes the met protein, the receptor for scatter
factor/hepatocyte growth factor, a growth factor that modulates the motility and stable …

In metastatic breast cancer (MBC), it can be difficult to establish the origin if the primary
tumor is triple negative or if there is a loss of biomarker expression. SOX10 expression has …

BACKGROUND Activation of Met, the receptor for scatter factor/hepatocyte growth factor, is
associated with mitogenesis, motogenesis, and decreased cell adhesion. Elevated …
