FOXC1-induced non-canonical WNT5A-MMP7 signaling regulates invasiveness in triple-negative breast cancer
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has high rates of local recurrence and distant metastasis, partially due to its high invasiveness. The Forkhead box C1 (FOXC1) transcription factor has been shown to be spe...

Should ACOSOG Z0011 change practice with respect to axillary lymph node dissection for a positive sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer?
While any study can be criticized, the results of Z0011 clearly show that sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) alone without axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) results in extremely low locoregional recurrence ...
