Locally Advanced Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Breast-A Case Report with a Review of the Literature.

Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease distinguished by four main subtypes based on the expression of estrogen, progesterone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor-2 on the cancer cells. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) consists of approximately 10-20% of all BCs and is characterized by a poor prognosis. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast is a rare, special type of TNBC with low metastatic potential and usually favorable prognosis.

Predictive Role of Soluble IL-6R, TNF-R1/2, and Cell Adhesion Molecules Serum Levels in the Preoperative and Adjuvant Therapy in Women with Nonmetastatic Breast Cancer: A Preliminary Study.

Soluble cell adhesion molecules (sCAMs) are involved in the development of neoplastic diseases. sCAMs can block lymphocytes and promote angiogenesis and migration of breast cancer (BC) cells. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) enhance metastatic potential via upregulation of CAMs.

The Predictive Role of Serum Levels of Soluble Cell Adhesion Molecules (sCAMs) in the Therapy of Advanced Breast Cancer-A Single-Centre Study.

Soluble cell adhesion molecules (sCAMs) play a significant role in the metastatic potential of breast cancer (BC). They might block lymphocytes and promote angiogenesis and migration of cancer cells. We assessed the usefulness of sCAMs in the prognosis and monitoring of the progression of advanced BC.

The use of Hericium erinaceus and Trametes versicolor extracts in supportive treatment in oncology.

Substances available in nature with potential therapeutic effects are the subject of research that raises tremendous hopes for new challenges in medicine. Fungi are the most common organisms in the ecosystem and the most interesting in this respect. This review discusses two species of edible fungi, used for centuries in Eastern natural medicine, with the best-documented effect - Hericium erinaceus (He) and Trametes versicolor (Tv).

CA125 as a Marker of Heart Failure in the Older Women: Population-Based Analysis.

(1) Background: Cancer antigen 125 (CA125) is a glycoprotein that is expressed by tissue derived from coelomic epithelium in the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium. It has been shown that CA125 concentrations are correlated with NT-proBNP in older with congestive heart failure (HF). We conducted a study on the association between concentrations of CA125 and NT-proBNP in a population-based cohort of older Polish women.
