Aspirin Use Is Associated with Improved Outcomes in Inflammatory Breast Cancer Patients
PURPOSE: Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive form of breast cancer and has a high propensity for distant metastases. Our previous data suggested that aspirin (ASA) use may be associated with reduced risk of distant metastases in aggressive BC; however, there are no reported …

Effect of Physical Activity on Community Participation among Breast Cancer Patients
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer patients who engage in physical activity are shown to have a reduction in difficulties during daily living as a result of treatment side effects; however, it is unknown if participation in physical activity will reduce the limitations experienced by these individuals while …

Cooperative Invasion Between Tumor Cell Subpopulations
Breast cancer is responsible for over 40,000 deaths each year in the United States. The majority of these deaths are not attributable to the primary breast tumor, but to metastases in vital organs. Tumor cell invasion is an early step in the metastatic cascade which can occur collectively by …

Analysis of Neurocognitive Elements of Attention Following Chemotherapy Treatment
Breast cancer affects approximately 123 out of 100,000 women per year in the United States, with 207,090 new cases estimated each year (Altekruse et al., 2010). Adjuvant chemotherapy has become a staple of care to improve long-term outcomes for several types of breast cancers (de Boer, Taskila, …

Somatic Stem Cell Populations and Studies on the Functional Role and Regulation of ABCG2
… G family of transporters that was identified in breast cancer cells due to its ability to efflux chemotherapeutic drugs. Abcg2 can also efflux Hoechst 33342, resulting in a side population phenotype when stained cells are sorted by FACS. Recent studies have suggested that Abcg2 may be a marker …

Factors affecting breast, cervical and prostate cancer treatment outcomes in Zambia
Cervical, breast and prostate cancers represent 51% cancer mortality and morbidity in Zambia. This study aimed to show their prevalence, incidence trends, describe associated typical patient socio-demographic characteristics and survival factors using the Zambia National Cancer Registry (ZNCR) data …

Multimodality Imaging of Tumor Vasculature and Metabolism
… volume and permeability in a mouse model of breast cancer brain metastases. Using a 9.4T system, high resolution anatomic MRI and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion MRI were acquired at different time points after an intracardiac injection of brain-tropic breast cancer …

Probing the Molecular Requirements for Breast Cancer Cell Motility
Invasion of breast cancer cells into the stroma is an early step in metastasis. How invasive ability is conferred in breast cancer cells is poorly understood. It has been shown that the tumor microenvironment can assist in the progression of cancer. The mechanism by which the microenvironment, …

Dual Receptor Uptake of Low-Density Lipoprotein Docosahexaenoic Acid (LDL-DHA) Elicits Differential Sensitivity Across Breast Cancer Subtypes
We proposed to treat breast cancer with a novel nanomedicine previously shown to be effective in the treatment of primary liver tumors in rats. This nanoparticle is comprised of the low-density lipoprotein which acts as a carrier for the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The LDL-DHA …

Thought Suppression Change in Cancer Patients and Survivors After Writing
<p>Breast cancer is a debilitating and many times fatal disease that will affect approximately 215,990 women in the United States alone this year. Treatment for breast cancer can involve many physically and psychologically straining features. The illness perception theory states that individuals …

Breast Cancer Patients' Perspectives on the Helpfulness of Supportive Offerings
<p>Research suggests that breast cancer patients seek and benefit from social support that they view as helpful. Previous qualitative studies have explored overtly negative behaviors by family and friends in some depth. Several quantitative studies have explored how support that is viewed as …

Missed Breast Cancer Risk Factors and Clinicopathologic Features: A Six-Year Analysis of Data from a Single Institution
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in women, but mortality has been consistently decreasing due to the introduction of screening mammography and continual innovations in treatment [1,13,15]. However, cancers missed on screening and diagnostic imaging studies …

Delineating the Mechanisms Through Which ZNF165 Supports Growth and Survival of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
… antigen frequently expressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), was previously identified as essential for the growth and survival of TNBC and sustained transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling. However, the mechanisms through which ZNF165 functions in this context to regulate both …

Resveratrol Regulates IGF- II and Cathepsin D in Breast Cancer Cells
<p>Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in the US. Phytoestrogen resveratrol (RS V) has been described as a potential ehemotherapeutic agent, but has been associated with breast cancer cell growth and cell death. RSV binds to estrogen receptors (ER) and functions as a mixed …
