Collagen changes in the extracellular matrix of tumor-affected human breast: a tale of OF/LB and type V collagens
2010
It is widely acknowledged that the extracellular matrix (ECM) ofconnective tissues plays active roles in numerous biological processessuch as cell differentiation, life/death promotion and carcinogenesis.Ductal infiltrating carcinoma (DIC) of the breast is a highly metastatictumor histotype commonly associated with drastic massive alterations ofECM architecture and composition, especially concerning its collagenouscomponent. In particular, it was demonstrated that the stroma of DIC ofthe human breast contains a considerable amount of an embryo-foetalcollagen type (OF/LB), while type V collagen, which is a minorcomponent of normal human breast ECM, undergoes over-deposition inthe affected gl…
SULT1A1 gene deletion in BRCA2-associated male breast cancer: a link between genes and environmental exposures?
2013
SULT1A1, a member of sulfotransferase superfamily, is a drug and hormone metabolizing enzyme involved in the metabolism of a variety of potential mammary carcinogens of endogenous and exogenous origin. Interestingly, the metabolic activity of SULT1A1 can be affected by varia- tions in gene copy number. Male Breast Cancer (MBC) is a rare disease and less investigated disease compared to female BC (FBC). As in FBC, the concurrent effects of genetic risk factors, particularly BRCA2 mutations, increased exposure to estrogens and environmental carcinogens play a relevant role in MBC. By quantitative real-time PCR with TaqMan probes, we investigated the presence of SULT1A1 gene copy number variat…
Surgical treatment of early breast cancer in day surgery.
2007
Quadrantectomy and associated sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is currently employed in most breast surgery centres as the gold standard in the treatment of early breast cancer. This approach has a modest morbidity and can usually be performed in a day-surgery regimen, leading to best acceptance by the patients. This reports outlines the experience of our Breast Unit with quadrantectomy and SLNB in day surgery for early breast cancer. One hundred patients presenting to our institution with primary invasive breast cancer measuring less than 3 cm and clinically negative axillary nodes underwent quadrantectomy and SLNB in day surgery. For 60 women with breast cancer the sentinel node was nega…
