Open AccessLoewner Theory for Bernstein Functions I: Evolution Families and Differential Equations
One-parameter semigroups of holomorphic functions appear naturally in various applications of Complex Analysis, and in particular, in the theory of (temporally) homogeneous branching processes. A suitable anal...

Open AccessTumor budding and fibrotic focus—proposed grading system for tumor budding in invasive carcinoma no special type of the breast
Tumor budding grade is a very useful histological prognostic indicator for colorectal cancer patients. Recently, it has been also reported as a significant prognostic indicator in invasive breast carcinoma pat...

A case of secretory breast cancer in a 6 year-old girl: is it possible to make a correct preoperative diagnosis?
Secretory breast carcinoma constitutes the majority of breast cancers in children and young people less than 20 years of age. Noninvasive examination is particularly necessary for the diagnosis of breast carci...

Bi-monotonic Independence for Pairs of Algebras
In this article, the notion of bi-monotonic independence is introduced as an extension of monotonic independence to the two-faced framework for a family of pairs of algebras in a non-commutative space. The ass...

Open AccessOn Free Generalized Inverse Gaussian Distributions
We study here properties of free Generalized Inverse Gaussian distributions (fGIG) in free probability. We show that in many cases the fGIG shares similar properties with the classical GIG distribution. In par...

Performance of a new system using a one-step nucleic acid amplification assay for detecting lymph node metastases in breast cancer
One-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) for CK19 mRNA is an intraoperative diagnostic procedure for detection of lymph node metastasis. Automated Gene Amplification Detector RD-200 and the LYNOAMP CK19 gene am...

Open AccessCorrection to: Intracellular hypoxia measured by F-18 fluoromisonidazole positron emission tomography has prognostic impact in patients with estrogen-receptor positive breast (BRCR-D17-00693)
After the publication of this article [1], we noticed that in Fig. 2, the survival curve images (C and D, lower panel) were incorrect. The corrected Fig. 2 is presented below. The correction does not affect in...

Open AccessIntracellular hypoxia measured by 18F-fluoromisonidazole positron emission tomography has prognostic impact in patients with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer
Hypoxia is a key driver of cancer progression. We evaluated the prognostic impact of 18F-fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) prior to treatment in patients with breast cancer.

Order quasisymmetric functions distinguish rooted trees
Richard P. Stanley conjectured that finite trees can be distinguished by their chromatic symmetric functions. In this paper, we prove an analogous statement for posets: Finite rooted trees can be distinguished...

Open AccessNeoadjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab, docetaxel, and carboplatin administered every 3 weeks for Japanese women with HER2-positive primary breast cancer: efficacy and safety
This phase II neoadjuvant study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a triweekly regimen of docetaxel and carboplatin in combination with trastuzumab (TCbH) in Japanese women with human epidermal growth factor...

Unimodality of the Freely Selfdecomposable Probability Laws
We show that any freely selfdecomposable probability law is unimodal. This is the free probabilistic analog of Yamazato’s result in (Ann. Probab. 6:523–531, 1978).

Free Subordination and Belinschi–Nica Semigroup
We realize the Belinschi–Nica semigroup of homomorphisms as a free multiplicative subordination. This realization allows to define more general semigroups of homomorphisms with respect to free multiplicative c...

Synchronous unilateral triple breast cancers composed of invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, and Paget’s disease
We report a case of synchronous unilateral triple breast cancers comprising invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), and Paget’s disease. A 57-year-old woman with a left breast mass w...

Simultaneous demonstration of gelatinolytic activity, morphology, and immunohistochemical reaction using zymography film
In situ zymography has been used to assess gelatinolytic activity, which is mainly due to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in cancer tissues. MMPs play an important role in cancer invasion and metastasis. Film...

Analytic Continuations of Fourier and Stieltjes Transforms and Generalized Moments of Probability Measures
We consider analytic continuations of Fourier transforms and Stieltjes transforms. This enables us to define what we call complex moments for some class of probability measures which do not have moments in the...
