BACKGROUND
Evidence exists that prognosis in breast cancer may be related to the timing of primary surgery. Fluctuations in natural killer (NK) cells and/or their sensitivity to surgical stress hormones could mediate this phenomenon. We sought to establish, firstly, if there are any numerical or
OBJECTIVE
To perform sentinel node with local anaesthesia in the breast carcinoma without frozen section. So we used definitive histological and immunohistochemical results of sentinel node the day of conserving surgery with complete axillary lymph node dissection under general anaesthesia in case
OBJECTIVE
To discuss the various factors which cause the common skin flap complications after radical operation for breast cancer.
METHODS
Two hundred sixteen patients with T1-3N0-1M0 breast cancer underwent radical surgery at The Cancer Hospital of Xingtai City, China during 1995-2003. Patey
Hormone receptors are proteins, localised in the membrane, cytosol, mitochondrion or nucleus of target cells; binding of hormone to the receptor leads to alterations in intracellular activity or growth. The development of antagonists which competitively bind to receptor sites has been used
Psychological distress reduces the efficacy of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. The mechanism may be related to the altered neuronal or hormonal secretions during stress. Here, we reported that adrenaline, a hormone mediating the biological activities of stress, upregulates mdr1 gene
Under study were the content of serotonin and 11-OCS in blood and diurnal excretion of 5-OIAA, adrenaline and noradrenaline in 71 pateints with breast cancer. The data obtained indicated that the examined patients, compared with the control group, show a reliably higher concentration of serotonin
Such neurohumoral factors of antitumor resistance regulation as catecholamines, corticosteroids and cholinergic mechanisms were studied in tissues of breast cancer patients. Tissue adjacent to tumor revealed elevated concentrations of 11-hydroxycorticosteroids and adrenaline matched by an increased
beta-adrenergic receptors (beta-ARs) were identified in CG-5 breast cancer cells using a radiometric assay. The total beta-AR concentration was measured using the highly potent beta-adrenergic antagonist (-)[3H]CGP 12177, and the densities of beta-AR subtypes were discriminated in the presence of
Breast cancer surgery under local anaesthesia (LA) can be challenging due to limitation of dose and quantity of anaesthetic agent that can be used safely. Elderly patients with breast cancer and with multiple co-morbidities are often prevented from having a standard treatment as they Endogenous catecholamines such as adrenaline (A) and noradrenaline (NA) are released from the adrenal gland and sympathetic nervous system during exposure to stress. The adrenergic system plays a central role in stress signaling, and excessive stress was found to be associated with increased
OBJECTIVE
β-Adrenoceptors are expressed in human and experimental animal breast cancer cells. However, the effect of the agonists and antagonists reported on cell proliferation and tumour growth was paradoxical, precluding their utilization as possible adjuvant therapy, mainly in the cases of
BACKGROUND
General anesthesia (GA) is the standard anesthesia for patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy (MRM) for breast cancer. Cervical epidural anesthesia (CEA) is practiced less often because of its reported complications. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the safety and
Clinical observations suggest that the rate of metastatic development and long-term mortality following surgery in breast cancer patients is influenced by the menstrual phase during which surgery is conducted. The menstrual cycle is known to modulate various physiological responses and medical
Endocrinology was recognized as a new branch of biological science mainly as a result of events which took place between about 1890 and 1905, but ideas and discoveries dating from antiquity contributed to it also. Experiments supporting the concept of internal secretions by the testicles were
BACKGROUND
The dye Patent Blue V (PBV) is increasingly used for staging procedures in operable breast cancer, but is reported to cause adverse reactions. The aim of this study was to present the clinical features and the results of follow-up examinations in patients with such reactions.
METHODS
We
