Objectives: The To distinguish between basal and non-basal subtypes of triple-negative breast cancers based on epidermal growth factor receptor and cytokeratin 5/6, and to establish the association of the diagnosis with clinicopathological parameters and survival rates.
Method: The retrospective study was conducted at the Clinical Oncology and Nuclear Medicine Department of Kafrelsheikh University Hospital and Tanta University Hospital, Egypt, and comprised medical records from January 2014 to December 2018 related to cases with histopathologically proven triple-negative breast cancer who had been treated and followed up for at least 5 years. The cases had been evaluated using immunohistochemistry for epidermal growth factor receptor and Cytokeratin 5/6 expression.
Objectives: To evaluate the prognostic importance of tumour-infiltrating forkhead box P3 protein + regulatory T cells in breast cancer patients.
Method: The case-control study was conducted from January 2020 to March 2021 at the Kafrelsheikh University Hospital, Egypt, and comprised individuals with newly-diagnosed breast cancer who underwent conventionalsurgery, and controls who had a fibrocystic change of the breast. The density of tumour-infiltrating forkhead box P3 protein + regulatory T cells was assessed by immunohistochemistry.
Objectives: To analyse the effectiveness of narrow-band imaging in determining the severity of inflammation in ulcerative colitis patients in relation to histological activity.
Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted at Kafrelsheikh University Hospital, Egypt, from June 2021 to May 2022, and comprised patientsregardless of age and gender who had ulcerative colitis and visited the endoscopy unit. After taking detailed history, the patients were subjected to physical examination and laboratory tests which included complete blood count, international normalised ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and faecal calprotectin.
