OBJECTIVE
This paper is a report of the development and psychometric testing of the Chinese Breast Cancer Screening Beliefs Questionnaire, a culturally sensitive questionnaire for measuring Chinese-Australian women's beliefs, knowledge and attitudes towards breast cancer and breast screening
BACKGROUND
The association of malnutrition in early life with breast cancer risk has been studied in Europe by investigating survivors of the Dutch Hunger Winter Famine, but not in China. We evaluated the effect of exposure to the 1959-1961 Great Leap Forward famine on subsequent breast cancer risk
Although there is considerable controversy regarding the role of race in the etiology of human disease, evidence suggests that breast cancers are racially distinct diseases. Clinical features and genetic alterations are different in Chinese women with breast cancer compared with white women. These
The complexity of breast cancer at the clinical, morphological and genomic levels has been extensively studied in the western population. However, the mutational genomic profiles in Chinese breast cancer patients have not been explored in any detail.We Background: It has been suggested that Chinese patients with breast cancer present at a younger age compared to the general Australian population, with tumour pathological characteristics that carry less favourable outcomes. This study
OBJECTIVE
The decisional conflict scale (DCS) measures the perception of uncertainty in choosing options, factors contributing to decision conflict and effective decision making. This study examined the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the DCS in Hong Kong Chinese women deciding
OBJECTIVE
The aims of the study were to report breast cancer screening practices among Chinese-Australian women, and to examine the relationship between 1) acculturation, and 2) the Chinese Breast Cancer Screening Beliefs Questionnaire (CBCSB) score and women's breast screening behaviours.
METHODS
A
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women and has a strong genetic background. So far, 13 breast cancer susceptibility genes of high or moderate penetrance have been identified. This review summarizes findings on these genes in Han Chinese. BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the 2 most important
OBJECTIVE
Hormonal receptors are important prognostic factors for breast cancer. The reported figures in the literature are mostly on Caucasians. This study analyzes the receptor profile of 1,052 Chinese patients.
METHODS
The age of the patients ranged from 20-93 years; 48% were premenopausal and
Chinese Herbal Medicines (CHM) have been used in disease prevention and treatment for centuries in China. A number of anti-breast cancer agents isolated from CHM recently, showed very interesting structures, although some of the mechanism of action is not quite clear. These unique chemical
This study describes information seeking behaviors and patient characteristics associated with Internet use by 72 Chinese-American breast cancer survivors diagnosed in the past 5 years and living in Houston, Texas. Face-to-face interviews showed that only 56% used the Internet for health
The interplay between copy number variation (CNV) and differential gene expression may be able to shed light on molecular process underlying breast cancer and lead to the discovery of cancer-related genes. In the current study, genes concurrently identified in array comparative genomic hybridization
