A broad range of prognostic and predictive tools are available for patients with newly diagnosed early stage breast cancer. These range from free and publicly available mathematical algorithms, through to expensive gene array tests. It is not known how the use of these different scores affects physician decision making with respect to ordering gene array tests, nor how well these algorithms predict for the results of Oncotype in the real-world setting. This pragmatic study will help to answer these questions.
A broad range of prognostic and predictive tools are available for patients with newly diagnosed early stage breast cancer. These range from free and publicly available mathematical algorithms (e.g. NHS Predict, Magee formulae, Gage and Tennessee equations) that incorporate standard pathology results, through to expensive gene array tests (e.g. Oncotype DX and Endopredict). It is not known how the use of these different scores affects physician decision making with respect to ordering gene array tests, nor how well these algorithms predict for the results of Oncotype in the real-world setting.

A Multicenter Study of Clinical Epidemiology of Breast Cancer in Shaanxi Province of China
The purpose of the study is to study the epidemic features and diagnosis of female breast cancer, especially the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.The disease-free survival (DFS) an...
The purpose of this study is to collect a blood sample from patients with breast disease (cases) and from individuals without breast cancer (controls)that may be used for research purposes...
MRI in Women With Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Prior to Breast Conserving Surgery
To see if performing breast MRI before a lumpectomy will help the surgeon successfully remove the entire cancer with normal tissue margins in a single operation thereby reducing the need f...
Breast cancer is the most common female malignancy in the world, and the leading cause of cancer-associated mortalities among women. Hormone receptors (HR) including ER and PR are the main...
National trends of synchronous bilateral breast cancer incidence in the United States.
Increase in breast cancer survivorship, advancements in diagnostic imaging and standardization of contralateral breast screening before breast cancer surgery have resulted in increased detection of co...
Syndecan-1 facilitates breast cancer metastasis to the brain.
Although survival rates for patients with localized breast cancer have increased, patients with metastatic breast cancer still have poor prognosis. Understanding key factors involved in promoting brea...
Each year, 17,000 new breast cancer cases are diagnosed in Argentina, and 5400 women die of breast cancer. The contribution of cancer-related mutations to the incidence of breast cancer in Argentina h...
Inflammatory breast cancer: A review from our experience.
Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is a distinct and rare type of breast cancer accounting for up to 6% of all breast cancer cases in Europe. The aim of this study was to investigate diagnostic methods,...

Breast Cancer Lymphedema
Abnormal accumulation of lymph in the arm, shoulder and breast area associated with surgical or radiation breast cancer treatments (e.g., MASTECTOMY).
Inflammatory Breast Neoplasms
Metastatic breast cancer characterized by EDEMA and ERYTHEMA of the affected breast due to LYMPHATIC METASTASIS and eventual obstruction of LYMPHATIC VESSELS by the cancer cells.
Carcinoma, Lobular
A infiltrating (invasive) breast cancer, relatively uncommon, accounting for only 5%-10% of breast tumors in most series. It is often an area of ill-defined thickening in the breast, in contrast to the dominant lump characteristic of ductal carcinoma. It is typically composed of small cells in a linear arrangement with a tendency to grow around ducts and lobules. There is likelihood of axillary nodal involvement with metastasis to meningeal and serosal surfaces. (DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, p1205)
Capecitabine
A deoxycytidine derivative and fluorouracil PRODRUG that is used as an ANTINEOPLASTIC ANTIMETABOLITE in the treatment of COLON CANCER; BREAST CANCER and GASTRIC CANCER.
Mucin-1
Carbohydrate antigen elevated in patients with tumors of the breast, ovary, lung, and prostate as well as other disorders. The mucin is expressed normally by most glandular epithelia but shows particularly increased expression in the breast at lactation and in malignancy. It is thus an established serum marker for breast cancer.
