Breast cancer is a complex and heterogeneous disease showing substantial variations in genetics, histopathology and clinical course of the disease and can be defined as a set of conditions with at least four distinct intrinsic molecular subtypes. Intratumoral heterogeneity is the main obstacle to treatment success and personalized medicine application. Despite rapid advancement in the mol…
Breast cancer is a very heterogeneous group of diseases showing substantial variations in their molecular and clinical characteristics. Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the major source of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. In Brazil, according to data from the Ministry of Health, breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy after skin cancer and the leading cause…
Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. In Brazil, data from cancer registries of the Ministry of Health indicate breast cancer as the second most common malignancy and a major cause of mortality in the female population, with estimates of incidence of 52 000 new cases of breast cancer for the biennium 2012 / 2013, re…

Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent malignancy in women worldwide. BC is a highly heterogeneous disease, with multiple tumor subtypes, which present distinct morphology and molecular characteristics with implications on the clinical course of the disease. Despite advances in the molecular classification of breast cancer, there is still a need to identify new biomarkers for prognosis a…
The ovarian steroid hormones progesterone and estrogen play vital roles in the development of normal mammary gland and are likewise linked to mammary carcinogenesis via their receptors. Progesterone receptor (PR) is expressed as two isoforms, PR-A and PR-B. In human breast tumors the PR-A/PR-B expression ratio is altered, with the PR-A isoform predominating. Transgenic mice carrying an ad…
The pro-apoptotic gene PAWR (PKC apoptosis regulator WT1, also known as PAR-4 Prostate apoptosis response-4) is known to selectively induce apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells. High levels of protein kinase A within cells and endoplasmic reticulum stress to PAR-4 confer the ability selectively to cancer, inducing apoptosis by both intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms. Recently, studies h…
