Accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy schedules in breast cancer: A review of the current literature
(2009)Lumpectomy followed by breast irradiation is an alternative to mastectomy for patients with early-stage breast cancer. The purpose of radiation treatment following lumpectomy is to minimize the risk of recurrent cancer in ... -
Accelerated Hypofractionated Whole-Breast Irradiation With Concomitant Daily Boost in Early Breast Cancer
(2015)Objectives:The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and the related toxicity of hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation with a concomitant daily boost in early breast cancer women not eligible for accelerated ... -
Adherence to Mediterranean Diet and Nutritional Status in Women with Breast Cancer: What Is Their Impact on Disease Progression and Recurrence-Free Patients’ Survival?
(2022)Introduction: Nutritional status impacts the survival of patients with cancer. There are few studies that investigate the role of nutritional status on breast cancer survival in women with breast cancer, and even fewer ... -
Alterations of microRNAs in solid cancers and their prognostic value
(2010)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved, naturally abundant, small, regulatory non-coding RNAs that inhibit gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in a sequence-specific manner. Each miRNA represses the ... -
Anti-cd20 agents for multiple sclerosis: Spotlight on ocrelizumab and ofatumumab
(2020)Until recently, in the pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the contribution of B cells has been largely underestimated, and the disease was considered a T-cell-mediated disorder. However, newer evidence shows that B ... -
Anticarcinogenic activity of polyphenolic extracts from grape stems against breast, colon, renal and thyroid cancer cells
(2014)A major part of the wineries' wastes is composed of grape stems which are discarded mainly in open fields and cause environmental problems due mainly to their high polyphenolic content. The grape stem extracts' use as a ... -
Application of efficient nanoparticles for early diagnosis and treatment of cancer
(2015)Cancer is considered as a prevalent cause of human deaths and undoubtedly, is the most complex disease with multiple cellular physiological systems involved. During the last decade, the application of nanotechnological ... -
Application of Radiomics and Decision Support Systems for Breast MR Differential Diagnosis
(2018)Over the years, MR systems have evolved from imaging modalities to advanced computational systems producing a variety of numerical parameters that can be used for the noninvasive preoperative assessment of breast pathology. ... -
Association of repeat polymorphisms in the estrogen receptors alpha, beta (ESR1, ESR2) and androgen receptor (AR) genes with the occurrence of breast cancer
(2008)Genetic variation in genes involved in estrogen biosynthesis, metabolism and signal transduction have been suggested to play a role in breast cancer. To determine the possible contribution of genetic variation in the ESR1 ... -
BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline testing in Cretan isolates reveals novel and strong founder effects
(2020)Germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 loss-of-function variants have been linked to increased breast and ovarian cancer risk, with more than 5,000 distinct pathogenic variants being reported worldwide. Among individuals of Greek descent, ... -
Breast Cancer Classification on Multiparametric MRI – Increased Performance of Boosting Ensemble Methods
(2022)Introduction: This study aims to assess the utility of Boosting ensemble classification methods for increasing the diagnostic performance of multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) radiomic models, in differentiating ... -
Breast cancer risk in relation to most prevalent IgE specific antibodies: A case control study in Greece
(2007)Background: This study aims to explore the debatable role of allergy in breast cancer (BC) by using country-specific biological markers, namely levels of the most prevalent allergen -specific immunoglobulin E in Greece. ... -
Breast radiotherapy and early adverse cardiac effects. The role of serum biomarkers and strain echocardiography
(2019)Breast cancer radiotherapy has a clear benefit for both long-term survival and local recurrence rate. However, there is still much concern about the early radiation-induced heart toxicity. This article aimed to clarify the ... -
Cancer-associated stroke: Pathophysiology, detection and management (Review)
(2019)Numerous types of cancer have been shown to be associated with either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. In this review, the epidemiology and pathophysiology of stroke in cancer patients is discussed, while providing vital ... -
Characteristics and outcomes of cancer patients who develop pulmonary embolism: A cross-sectional study
(2021)Pulmonary embolism (PE), along with deep vein thrombosis, are collectively known as venous thromboembo- lism (VTE). Predisposing factors for PE include post-operative conditions, pregnancy, cancer and an advanced age; of ... -
Circulating tumor cells as prognostic biomarkers in breast cancer: current status and future prospects
(2021)Introduction : Despite advances in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques breast cancer is still associated with significant morbidity and mortality. CTCs play a crucial role in the metastatic process, which is the main ... -
