High-throughput molecular profiling techniques are helpful in the diagnosis of multifactorial disease. In this study, a cDNA-phage-displayed protein microarray using phage particles spotted directly onto it as sensors was used to detect related antigens in breast tumor sera. cDNA sequences from 17 positive clones were determined, which included some sequences encoding known breast cancer-related antigens and proteins related to other diseases, as well as proteins with unknown functions. Our results not only provide some useful information for breast cancer research, but also suggest that the strategy used here would be efficient to search for disease-related proteins and other functional target proteins.

Breast carcinoma is one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. The primary objective of the present study was to eva-luate the expression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers Lin28, MUC1, and lipocalin-2 in invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and to investigate their correlation with clinicopathological characteristics and patient survival. This prospective cohort study included 120 classic ILC cases investigated for immunohistochemical expressions of Lin28, MUC1, and lipocalin-2 and followed them for five years or until death.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Deregulation of miRNAs is frequently observed in breast cancer and affects tumor biology. A pre-miRNA, such as pre-miR-1307, gives rise to several mature miRNA molecules with distinct functions.

The dissemination of tumor cells with ensuing metastasis is responsible for most cancer-related deaths. Cancer vaccines may, by inducing tumor-specific effector T cells, offer a strategy to eliminate metastasizing tumor cells. However, several obstacles remain in the development of effective cancer vaccines, including the identification of adjuvants that enhance the evolvement and efficacy of tumor-specific T cells.

Purpose: Previous studies have described barriers to and facilitators of healthy eating and being physically active among patients with cancer, but few have done so in a safety-net community oncology setting.

Materials And Methods: To understand multiple perspectives on the factors that influence diet and exercise in patients with cancer treated in safety-net settings, we conducted semistructured interviews between June and November 2021 with patients and oncology clinic medical professionals at a safety-net hospital in Houston, TX.

Results: Thirty-one patients with cancer were interviewed, including 11 patients on active treatment and 20 survivors, as well as 21 care health care professionals.
