  1. Considerable evidence has now accumulated for tumour-associated macrophages stimulating key aspects of tumour progression, including the proliferation, survival and metastasis of tumour cells, tumour angiogene...

    Authors: Claire E Lewis and Russell Hughes
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:209
  2. About 70% of breast cancers express oestrogen receptor α (ESR1/ERα) and are oestrogen-dependent for growth. In contrast with the highly proliferative nature of ERα-positive tumour cells, ERα-positive cells in ...

    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:R38
  3. Aromatase inhibitors such as anastrozole and letrozole are highly effective suppressants of estrogen synthesis in postmenopausal women and are the most effective endocrine treatments for hormone receptor posit...

    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:R37
  4. Estrogen is important in the development of breast cancer, and its biological effects are mediated primarily through the two estrogen receptors alpha and beta. A point mutation in the estrogen receptor alpha g...

    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:R36
  5. HER-2/neu status of the primary breast cancer (PBC) is determined by immunohistochemistry and fluorescent in situ hybridization. Because of a variety of technical factors, however, the PBC may not accurately refl...

    Authors: Walter P Carney, Kim Leitzel, Suhail Ali, Rainer Neumann and Allan Lipton
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:207
  6. Delayed recurrences, common in breast cancer, are well explained by the concept of tumour dormancy. Numerous publications describe clinical times to disease recurrence or death, using mathematical approaches t...

    Authors: Muriel Brackstone, Jason L Townson and Ann F Chambers
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:208
  7. Ki-67 expression is a possible risk biomarker and is currently being used as a response biomarker in chemoprevention trials. Mammographic breast density is a risk biomarker and is also being used as a response...

    Authors: Qamar J Khan, Bruce F Kimler, Anne P O'Dea, Carola M Zalles, Priyanka Sharma and Carol J Fabian
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:R35
  8. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in codon 72 of the TP53 (also known as p53) gene (rs1042522) and in the promoter region of the MDM2 gene (SNP309; rs2279744) have been suggested to play roles in many cancer...

    Authors: Tatsuya Toyama, Zhenhuan Zhang, Mariko Nishio, Maho Hamaguchi, Naoto Kondo, Hirotaka Iwase, Hiroji Iwata, Satoru Takahashi, Hiroko Yamashita and Yoshitaka Fujii
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:R34
  9. Identification of breast cancer stem cells as the cells within breast tumors that have the ability to give rise to cells that make up the bulk of the tumor mass has shifted the focus of cancer research. Howeve...

    Authors: Christine Fillmore and Charlotte Kuperwasser
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:303
  10. We investigated whether mRNA levels of E2F1, a key transcription factor involved in proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, could be used as a surrogate marker for the determination of breast cancer outc...

    Authors: Vincent Vuaroqueaux, Patrick Urban, Martin Labuhn, Mauro Delorenzi, Pratyaksha Wirapati, Christopher C Benz, Renata Flury, Holger Dieterich, Frédérique Spyratos, Urs Eppenberger and Serenella Eppenberger-Castori
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:R33
  11. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) is constitutively tyrosine-phosphorylated in approximately 50% of primary breast carcinomas. A number of different mechanisms responsible for Stat3 ac...

    Authors: Marjan Berishaj, Sizhi Paul Gao, Simi Ahmed, Kenneth Leslie, Hikmat Al-Ahmadie, William L Gerald, William Bornmann and Jacqueline F Bromberg
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:R32
  12. The status of the gene encoding human EGF-like receptor 2 (HER2) is an important prognostic and predictive marker in breast cancer. Only breast cancers with HER2 amplification respond to the targeted therapy with...

    Authors: Coya Tapia, Spasenija Savic, Urs Wagner, René Schönegg, Hedvika Novotny, Bruno Grilli, Michelle Herzog, Audrey DeVito Barascud, Inti Zlobec, Gieri Cathomas, Luigi Terracciano, Georg Feichter and Lukas Bubendorf
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:R31
  13. Gene expression profiling of breast carcinomas has increased our understanding of the heterogeneous biology of this disease and promises to impact clinical care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the progn...

    Authors: Anita Langerød, Hongjuan Zhao, Ørnulf Borgan, Jahn M Nesland, Ida RK Bukholm, Tone Ikdahl, Rolf Kåresen, Anne-Lise Børresen-Dale and Stefanie S Jeffrey
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:R30
  14. Prenatal levels of mitogens may influence the lifetime breast cancer risk by driving stem cell proliferation and increasing the number of target cells, and thereby increasing the chance of mutation events that...

    Authors: Todd M Savarese, William C Strohsnitter, Hoi Pang Low, Qin Liu, Inkyung Baik, William Okulicz, David P Chelmow, Pagona Lagiou, Peter J Quesenberry, Kenneth L Noller and Chung-Cheng Hsieh
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:R29
  15. BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations exhibit variable penetrance that is likely to be accounted for, in part, by other genetic factors among carriers. However, studies aimed at identifying these factors have been limited i...

    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:104
  16. The CYP2D6 gene is responsible for the majority of tamoxifen metabolism. Recent compelling, yet limited data have determined that postmenopausal women who carry a functional polymorphism in the CYP2D6 gene have a...

    Authors: Anne-Renee Hartman and Paul Helft
    Citation: Breast Cancer Research 2007 9:103
  17. Radiation exposure at a young age is one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer. Germline mutations in genes involved in the DNA-damage repair pathway (DDRP) may render women more susceptible to radia...
