    Coexistence of regulatory B cells and regulatory T cells in tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte aggregates is a prognostic factor in patients with breast cancer

    Tumors can acquire tolerance to tumor immunity and develop enhanced proliferation. Regulatory B cells (Bregs), whose role in immune tolerance is similar to that of regulatory T cells (Tregs), appear to be invo...

    Quality and quantity of visceral fat tissue are associated with insulin resistance and survival outcomes after chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer

    Recent studies suggest that the quality and quantity of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) play significant roles in adipocyte function, and are related to insulin resistance. We tested the hypothesis that high amo...
