PGR expression

A high level of agreement between IHC/ISH and mRNA expression determined by the APIS kit was observed for all markers. Subtype call agreement improved when Ki67 status was excluded, likely due to the challenges in distinguishing high and low Ki67 expression with IHC, leading to ambiguity in differentiating luminal B HER2- from luminal A tumours. Molecular subtyping offers additional insights for guiding breast cancer management decisions.

AR expression may be related to good prognostic factors such as ER expression, PgR expression, and lower histologic grade. We also observed that AR expression did not have any association with the Ki67 proliferative index.

Together, the results suggest that mRNA expression of ESR1, ESR2, and PGR might differ depending on menopausal status in breast tumors with certain receptor status. More importantly, the change in the expression of ESR1 and ESR2 following menopause is in the opposite directions in breast cancer patients showing the need to identify particular molecular mechanisms regulating the expression of ER isoforms post-menopause in different directions in breast cancer patients, considering the high clinical importance of these receptors in terms of the prognosis of patients with breast cancer.

Overall, the present study demonstrated that ULBP1 was associated with BRCA immunity and might serve as a prognostic and diagnostic biomarker for patients with BRCA. In addition, it might also be a potential target for the immunotherapy of BRCA.

The useful clues include presence of cellular papillae, mild cellular atypia, morphological diversity, interstitial foam-like cell aggregates, and prominent background hemorrhage and sclerosis. The characteristic immunophenotype and middle-aged female predilection are also helpful for the diagnosis of PSP.

Stromal PRB expression emerges as an independent and favorable prognostic marker for cervical squamous cell carcinoma and correlated with a low risk of hematogenous metastases. The findings imply that incorporating this marker into the FIGO stage better predicts the survival for cervical cancer.

WD led to higher feed efficiency and increased visceral adipose tissue but decreased systemic cholesterol and triglyceride levels. While this diet resulted in lower tumor incidence, the volume and weight of the tumors were higher. Additionally, the WD decreased ERα and progesterone receptor immunoexpression, while Ki-67 immunoexpression was elevated.

Rates of MBC are significantly raised in KS and a higher clinical suspicion of breast cancer should be considered when assessing men with KS. The true aetiology of MBC in KS, however, requires further research. There is a need for an accurate and up to date study of MBC incidence in KS to define the current risk.

HER2-low was significantly associated with HR-positive disease, whereas HER2-0 group had higher incidence of TNBC, histological grade III and higher Ki67%. Although HER2-low group was associated with longer TTDR and improved BC-related survival, these findings could be explained by the greater proportion of favorable prognostic features in this subgroup compared to HER2-0.

Although average glandular GATA2 expression was preserved in endometriosis and EAH/EIN cases, its expression was decoupled from PGR, implying that alternative pathways regulate GATA2 levels in these disorders. Our findings indicate that GATA2 dysregulation is a feature of endometriosis and EAH/EIN, and support a model whereby loss of stromal GATA2 in these disorders contributes to their progesterone insensitivity.

In the most effective CoxPH model, the area under the curve (AUC) values for predicting 3-year, 5-year, and 7-year DFS were 0.718, 0.702, and 0.701, respectively, in the WCH cohort, and 0.770, 0.739, and 0.743, respectively, in the FUSCC cohort. EPD may serve as a novel prognostic marker, allowing for the identification of a population with a poor prognosis in ER+/HER2- EBC, thereby aiding clinical decision-making.

The link between TFF1 expression and parameters of malignancy argues for a relevant biological role of TFF1 in cancer. TFF1 may represent a suitable therapeutic target due to its expression in only a few normal cell types.

Special attention is given to the role of TAMs, exploring their potential as therapeutic targets due to their significant impact on tumor behavior and patient outcomes. This review aims to highlight the complexities of the TNBC landscape and to present the innovative approaches that are currently being pursued to improve therapeutic efficacy and patient survival.

Preoperative clinicopathological features and changes in Ki67 value pre-and post-NAT can contribute to providing patients with a more accurate prognosis.

Furthermore, O-GlcNAcylation of PR enhances PR-driven tumor growth in vivo. We have delineated one contributing mechanism to PR function in breast cancer that impacts tumor growth, and provided additional insight into the mechanism through which PR attenuates interferon signaling.

Rab11A expression in pan-cancer is associated with poor prognosis and immune profile. In particular, in BRCA, Rab11A expression regulates cell proliferation by targeting ERα and ERβ. High Rab11A expression is tightly associated with immune characteristics, tumor microenvironment, and genetic mutations. These results provide a reference for exploring the role of Rab11A in pan-cancer and provide a new perspective for revealing potential therapeutic targets in BRCA.

The identification of characteristic genetic alterations and/or immunohistochemical surrogates in many of these tumors has practical applications to establishing an accurate diagnosis and directing clinical management. This review highlights the histopathologic and genetic characteristics of salivary gland-like breast tumors and the implications of the diagnosis for current clinical management.

This suggests a correlation between PGRMC1 and pemetrexed-induced iron-dependent cell death. Our study contributes to the development of more effective therapeutic strategies to improve the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma, particularly those facing drug resistance challenges.

Estrogen Receptor (ER), Progesterone Receptor (PR) and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER-2) status of primary breast cancer showed 25.0%, 20.83% and 4.16% discordant in recurrent episodes in this study. Invasive duct cell carcinoma, histological grade 2 and 3, stage II, stage III, MRM and CT along with RT are major attributable factors in this study.

Many factors may play a role in PCa manifestation, with steroids and progesterone initially noted as factors. Many studies have dealt with the hormonal effect on PCa; however, few have ultimately determined the molecular impact on disease progression. The presence of pathogenic SNPs in the enhancing region of the gene may impact the expression level of PGR. High or low expression levels may negatively affect gene function, which can be considered a reliable factor in prostate tumorigenesis.

Tumoral biomarkers are paramount for determining breast cancer treatment. The multi-task model can improve prediction performance, and improve interpretability in clinical practice. The 3D whole breast ultrasound system-based deep learning models excelled in predicting breast cancer biomarkers.

With the evolving landscape of neoadjuvant therapies in development for HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer, ongoing work using quantitative biomarkers and genomic assay scores is needed to select the right neoadjuvant systemic therapy for the right patient. Given the increasing amount of data available at the time of breast cancer diagnosis, novel computational approaches are needed to integrate patient demographic and tumor-specific factors to predict the optimal treatment strategy and likelihood of BCS.

CD73 has a significant role in tumorigenesis driving the reprogramming of lipid metabolism through the regulatory loop with PR and PPARγ in epithelial cells of mammary glands. Low CD73 expression/CD73 KO might enhance mutational burden by disrupting this regulatory loop, delaying the onset of HR-negative tumors. Our results support combining therapy targeting the CD73-adenosine axis and tumor lipidome against HR-negative tumors, especially at their earliest developmental stage.

Notably, the addition of HDAC6 inhibitor potentiated the effects of anti-ER and anti-PR drugs mainly in TNBC cells. Together, these data highlight the role of HDAC6 in regulating PR expression and provide a promising therapeutic approach for boosting breast cancer sensitivity to hormonal therapy.

Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the expression of markers of endometrial receptivity, namely the progesterone receptor (PR), glycodelin, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), homeobox A10 (HOXA10), integrin beta chain beta 3 (integrin β3) and osteopontin...The stromal compartment appears to be affected most, showing reduced expression of PR, LIF and osteopontin in the secretory phase and lower levels of HOXA10 during both proliferative and secretory phases. Decreased receptivity due to impaired stromal decidualization may contribute to poor reproductive outcomes in adenomyosis patients.

HER2-positive grade 1 carcinomas are uncommon, and more often have marked nuclear pleomorphism and lack oestrogen receptor and progesterone receptor expression compared with HER2-negative grade 1 carcinomas. A HER2-poitive result in the core biopsy was confirmed in 11 of 13 tumours that had repeat testing.

There are two main patterns of P16 and P53 expression, P16-positive/P53 wild-type and P16-negative/P53-mutant, but no positive expression of both has been seen so far. It is worth noting that we reported the second case of PESCC with a history of breast cancer, where the patient had been taking the oral aromatase inhibitor drug (exemestane) for a long period of time to reduce the estrogen level, indicating the low estrogen level may be also a key factor in the pathogenesis of PESCC.

However, in patients with high percentage staining for ER using these methods, the prognosis is excellent. As a result, we predict that if the percentage of ER staining is low, changing the treatment management of patients may be considered clinically.

MPR may be a novel pathologic end point in HR+/HER2-breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, holding greater applicability in the prognosis evaluation than pCR.

We have utilised the dynamic range of RNA expression to provide a ΔCt semi-quantitative scale for assessing targets with the APIS Breast Cancer Subtyping Kit in comparison to IHC % staining and immunoreactivity. This being particularly significant for HER2 low classification, emerging as a crucial marker to identify patients who could benefit from novel anti-HER2 therapies. Similarly, ER-low tumours are now being explored as a clinically and biologically unique subgroup.

This work shows how single cell transcriptomics can be applied to selectively study the in vitro effects of endocrine disrupters and their interaction with different hormonal contexts.

Although nuclear expression of ERα was significantly associated with progressive disease factors but the positive expression was found in very small percentage of GBC cases. So anti-hormone therapy might be an option in patient with ER α positive gallbladder carcinoma.
