A woman with postmastectomy lymphoedema presented with purple-red nodules on the right upper arm. Histopathology of a skin biopsy showed a cutaneous angiosarcoma. Angiosarcoma arising in an oedematous arm is called the Stewart-Treves syndrome and is a rare and late complication of breast cancer
Purple corn color is a widely used food colorant that was reported to have attenuating effects on hypertension, diabetes, and to have anti-cancer effects on colon and breast cancer. Our study is the first on its possible chemoprevention effects against prostate cancer. For this purpose an
A 5443 Da peptide with sequence homology to defensins was purified from purple pole beans (Phaseolus vulgaris cv. 'Extra-long Purple Pole bean'). This peptide was isolated by adsorption on an affinity chromatographic medium Affi-Gel Blue gel and ion-exchange chromatographic media SP-Sepharose
Purple-fleshed sweet potato (PFSP) (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam) has been known to possess high amount of anthocyanins which contribute to its antioxidant activity. However, a few reports are available concerning its anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. In this study, PFSP "Tainung 73," which is
There has been considerable interest in identifying specific foods and phytochemicals that may have breast cancer preventive properties. Concord grapes are rich in polyphenolic chemicals and anthocyanin pigments that may have biological properties which could suppress cancer such as having
Analyses of antioxidant and in vitro antimicrobial and anti-proliferative activities of anthocyanin-rich extracts from purple potatoes, Solanum tuberosum L. cv Vitelotte noire (Solanaceae), were performed by simulating both a domestic cooking process and human digestion. Extracts of crude and cooked
The structure and in vitro antiproliferative activity of anthocyanins in the root tubers of a sweet potato variety cv. Bhu Krishna and the purple leaves of a promising accession S-1467 were studied with the objectives of understanding the structure-activity relationship and comparing the leaf and
BACKGROUND
One of the risks of therapeutic irradiation is the development of secondary malignant tumors. In this paper three cases are reported of angiosarcoma of the breast following breast-conserving surgery and irradiation for primary breast cancer, and the literature is reviewed.

A 73-year-old postmenopausal woman had a 13 cm-sized huge tumor in her left breast with an extensive purple skin color change. She had sternal destruction, axillary and supraclavicular lymph node metastases (T4bN3M1, Stage IV). Core needle biopsy showed invasive ductal carcinoma with positive
Cutaneous metastasis is the main cause of morbidity and mortality of cancer patients, denoting a guarded prognosis. The clinical spectrum of the disease is broad and can mimic benign conditions. The diagnosis depends on thorough clinical examination and complementary exams, with emphasis on the
Although polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) injection for breast augmentation has been prohibited for many years, the long-term complications will be significant for a long period. Few research articles have focused on the clinicopathological analysis.We
BACKGROUND
Angiosarcomas are highly aggressive and malignant blood vessel tumors. Rarely, angiosarcomas develop in the breast following conservative therapy, namely radiotherapy.
METHODS
A 70-year-old female patient presented with dark purple discoloration of the skin of the right breast. 6 years
BACKGROUND
Tea (Camellia sinensis) infusions are widely consumed beverages with numerous health benefits. However, physiological and molecular responses mediating these activities are poorly understood.
METHODS
Three replicates of 4TI cancer cell suspension (2.0 × 105 cells/ml) were challenged in
