55 breast carcinomas and 9 its benign conditions were studied immunohistochemically. Oncoprotein c-erbB-2 was found in 22% carcinomas and in 33-37% comedo-carcinomas. Coincidence of predominant expression of oncoprotein c-erbB-2 and tenascin was observed. Maximal damage of the basal membrane in the intraductal carcinoma detected by the disturbance of type IV collagen staining was observed in cases of the highest expression of oncoprotein c-erbB-2 and tenascin.

Background: HER-2 positive (+) breast cancer (BC) accounts for 20-25% of BC, it is more aggressive, and it has a lower survival rate. Since the approval of trastuzumab in 1998, other HER-2-targeted therapies such as pertuzumab and trastuzumab emtansine (TDM1) have been introduced, improving patient survival. However, cardiotoxicity is an adverse effect of these treatments.

One of the rare tumor entities present in the nose and paranasal sinuses is sinonasal (non-) intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC/non-ITAC). Currently, surgery with postoperative radiotherapy is the cornerstone of the treatment of these tumors. Systemic treatment is usually applied in a palliative setting.

The precise detection of breast cancer biomarker (C-erbB-2) through serum should not be limited by HEMT devices but should be explored with other novel devices also. In this regard, investigation in above-mentioned device is carried out for the detection of C-erbB-2 protein.

Development of combination therapy to decrease side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs and increase their utilization rate in combination with gene editing is a key research topic in tumor treatment. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of cationic microbubbles (CMBs) carrying paclitaxel (PTX) and knockout plasmid on the endometrial cancer cell line HEC‑1A and to determine how regulates the function of endometrial cancer cells. Cells were treated with CMB, PTX, PTX‑CMBs, cationic plasmid‑carrying or cationic PTX‑carrying plasmid groups.

Granulosa cell tumours (GCTs) are the most common type of bovine ovarian neoplasm. We describe the morphological and immunohistochemical features of GCTs (n = 26) and a thecoma (n = 1) using antibodies to cytokeratin AE1/AE3, vimentin, desmin, nectin-4, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), inhibin α, c-erbB-2 oncoprotein and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. The results indicate that, based on the expression similarity of AE1/AE3 and inhibin α, the macrofollicular growth pattern of GCTs derives from highly differentiated granulosa cells (GCs), the Graafian follicle or early atretic follicle.
