The presence of autoantibodies in cancer has become relevant in recent years. We demonstrated that autoantibodies purified from the sera of breast cancer patients activate muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in tumor cells. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) from breast cancer patients in T1N0Mx stage (tumor
BACKGROUND
Zoledronic acid is very widely used in patients with metastatic bone disease and osteoporosis. Only one case of bilateral uveitis was recently reported related to its use.
METHODS
We report the first case of severe unilateral anterior uveitis in a patient with breast cancer and an
OBJECTIVE
We have previously reported the expression of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) in human breast tumors. The activation of these receptors triggered tumor cell proliferation. Considering that invasion and metastasis is the major cause of death in cancer, we investigated the action
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) are expressed in cells without nervous origin. mAChR are up-regulated in tumor cells and their stimulation can modulate tumor growth. In this work we investigated the ability of mAChR activation to induce tumor cell death. We studied the action of a
Environmental substances may be involved in the etiology of breast cancers. Many studies have found an association between cancer in humans and exposure to agricultural pesticides. Organophosphorous pesticides have been used to control mosquito plagues. Parathion and malathion, organophosphorous
Breast cancer is a major health problem and accounted for 11.6% of all new cancer cases and 6.6% of all cancer deaths among women worldwide in 2018. However, its etiology has remained elusive. According to epidemiological studies, environmental factors are influencing the increase in the incidence
A 53-year-old woman presented to the operating room for surgical correction of pericardial and pleural effusions. Her history included stage IV breast cancer, well-controlled hypertension, and diverticulitis. Although her baseline blood pressure, heart rate, and respirations were normal, she was
A 75-year old obese female was scheduled for mastectomy due to breast tumor. At the preoperative examinations, she had premature atrial contraction on electrocardiogram. But she had no clinical signs or symptoms regarding sick sinus syndrome. She was evaluated as ASA risk II and arranged for
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women and represents a major issue in public health. The most frequent methods to treat these tumors are surgery and/or chemotherapy. The latter can exert not only beneficial effects by reducing tumor growth and metastasis, but also toxic actions on
Kisspeptins are G protein-coupled receptor ligands originally identified as human metastasis suppressor gene products that have the ability to suppress melanoma and breast cancer metastasis and which have recently been found to play an important role in initiating the secretion of
Environmental chemicals may be involved in the etiology of breast cancers. Many studies have addressed the association between cancer in humans and agricultural pesticide exposure. Organophosphorous pesticides have been used extensively to control mosquito plagues. Parathion and malathion are
Environmental substances seem to be involved in the etiology of breast cancers. Many studies have found an association between human cancer and exposure to agricultural pesticides such as the organophosphorous pesticides. Parathion is a cholinesterase inhibitor that induces the hydrolysis of body
Kisspeptins are G protein-coupled receptor ligands originally identified as human metastasis suppressor gene products that have the ability to suppress melanoma and breast cancer metastasis and recently found to play an important role in initiating the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone at
Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy diagnosed in women and is a classical model of hormone-dependent malignancy. Over the past 15-20 years, epidemiological studies have pointed to an increased breast cancer risk associated with prolonged exposure to female hormones. On the other hand,
