Immunohistological analysis of B7-H4, IDO1, and PD-L1 expression and tumor immune microenvironment based on triple-negative breast cancer subtypes
B7 homolog 4 (B7-H4) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) are factors involved in the inhibition of antitumor activity and are new therapeutic targets for immune checkpoint therapy. Our study aimed to simultane...

Open AccessPrimary endometrioid carcinoma of the uterosacral ligament arising from deep infiltrating endometriosis 6 years after bilateral sal**o-oophorectomy due to atypical proliferative endometrioid tumor of the ovary: a rare case report
Endometriosis can potentially lead to the development of a malignant tumor. Most malignant tumors arising from the endometriosis originate from the ovarian endometrioma, whereas those arising from extragonadal...

Open AccessTargeted next-generation sequencing assays using triplet samples of normal breast tissue, primary breast cancer, and recurrent/metastatic lesions
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has shown that recurrent/metastatic breast cancer lesions may have additional genetic changes compared with the primary tumor. These additional changes may be related to tumor ...

Multispectral quantitative immunohistochemical analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in relation to programmed death-ligand 1 expression in triple-negative breast cancer
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression on immune cells (ICs) is a predictive marker for PD-L1 checkpoint blockade in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the level of PD-L1 expres...

Open AccessCD1d- and PJA2-related immune microenvironment differs between invasive breast carcinomas with and without a micropapillary feature
Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) of the breast is characterized by its unique morphology and frequent nodal metastasis. However, the mechanism for development of this unique subtype has not been clearl...

Significance of Lymphovascular Space Invasion by the Sarcomatous Component in Uterine Carcinosarcoma
The aim of this study was to examine the significance of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) with a sarcomatous component on the tumor characteristics and clinical outcomes of women with uterine carcinosarcom...

Anti-cell growth and anti-cancer stem cell activities of the non-canonical hedgehog inhibitor GANT61 in triple-negative breast cancer cells
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibits biologically aggressive behavior and has a poor prognosis. Novel molecular targeting agents are needed to control TNBC. Recent studies revealed that the non-canoni...

Immunocytochemical results for HER2 and Ki67 in breast cancer touch-smear cell specimens are reliable
Re-evaluation of the subtype of recurrent breast cancer is necessary for deciding the treatment approach, but it is often not performed due to the difficulty of obtaining tissue specimens from a recurrent lesi...

Antitumor and anticancer stem cell activities of eribulin mesylate and antiestrogens in breast cancer cells
Eribulin mesylate (eribulin), a non-taxane microtubule dynamic inhibitor, has been widely used in the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The combined antitumor and anticancer stem...

Assessment of the Ki67 labeling index: a Japanese validation ring study
A lack of consistent methods to evaluate Ki67 expression is problematic in terms of accurately predicting prognosis in breast cancer. Accordingly, this study aimed to identify the causes of discrepancies in Ki...

Prognostic value of phosphorylated HER2 in HER2-positive breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant trastuzumab
Adjuvant trastuzumab has been routinely used in HER2-positive operable breast cancer patients. Prognostic factors remain to be well characterized in these patients and might correlate with primary and/or acqui...

Visual assessment of Ki67 at a glance is an easy method to exclude many luminal-type breast cancers from counting 1000 cells
The Ki67 labeling index (LI) reflects the proliferative activity of breast cancers and defines luminal A and B tumors; however, no detailed method to measure Ki67 has been standardized. Here, we propose a fast...

Marked lymphovascular invasion, progesterone receptor negativity, and high Ki67 labeling index predict poor outcome in breast cancer patients treated with endocrine therapy alone
Whether postoperative chemotherapy should be added to endocrine therapy or not is an important issue in patients with hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2-negative breast...

Intratumoral Estrogen Concentration and Expression of Estrogen-Induced Genes in Male Breast Carcinoma: Comparison with Female Breast Carcinoma
It is speculated that estrogens play important roles in the male breast carcinoma (MBC) as well as the female breast carcinoma (FBC). However, estrogen concentrations or molecular features of estrogen actions ...
