Background And Aims: Esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) is one of the leading malignant cancers with a high incidence and mortality. Exploring novel serum biomarkers will help improve the management and monitoring of ESCC.
Methods: In the present study, we first used a ProcartaPlex Array to screen for serum proteins that were increased in 40 ESCC patients compared with matched normal controls; we found that eight proteins (IL-2, IL-5, IP-10, IL-8, eotaxin, TNF-α, HGF, and MIP-1b) had higher serum levels in ESCC patients than in normal controls.
Objective: To determine how patients with infiltrating lobular carcinoma (ILC) differ from patients with the more common infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC), and observe the different expression patterns of E-cadherin and p120-catenin proteins in both ILCs and IDCs.
Methods: The patients with ILC admitted to our hospital from Jan 1999 to Dec 2006 and patients with IDC from Jan 2000 to Dec 2000 were included in this study. All their pathological slides were reviewed, and their clinical data and treatment variables were analyzed retrospectively.

Objective: To study clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of elderly women with breast cancer.
Methods: The data of 399 patients with breast cancer over 65 years of age was analyzed retrospectively in the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 1989 to December 2003.
Results: Curative resection was performed for all patients, including modified radical mastectomy 277 (69.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between peripheral blood cancer cell (PBCC) levels and the spread of breast cancer to distant sites.
- In a sample of 65 breast cancer patients, 57 showed PBCCs in their blood, while none were found in healthy individuals.
- The presence of PBCCs correlated with advanced disease stages, and those with PBCCs were more likely to experience distant metastasis over a five-year follow-up.
