Genetic Profiling Differentiates Second Primary Tumors from Metastases in Adult Metachronous Soft Tissue Sarcoma (2009)

Josefin Fernebro, Ana Carneiro, Anders Rydholm, Henryk A. Domanski, Anna Karlsson, Åke Borg, ...

Purpose. Patients with soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are at increased risk of second primary malignancies, including a second STS, but distinction between metastases and a second primary STS is...

Gene products of chromosome 11q and their association with CCND1 gene amplification and tamoxifen resistance in premenopausal breast cancer (2008)

Lundgren, Katja, Holm, Karolina, Nordenskjöld, Bo, Borg, Ake, Landberg, Goran

Introduction: The amplification event occurring at chromosome locus 11q13, reported in several different cancers, includes a number of potential oncogenes. We have previously reported amplification...

CHEK21100delC in patients with metachronous cancers of the breast and the colorectum (2006)

Isinger, Anna, Bhat, Misha, Borg, Ake, Nilbert, Mef

Abstract Background Development of multiple primary tumors is a hallmark of hereditary cancer. At least 1/10 of breast cancers and colorectal cancers occur because of heredity and recently the cell...

Characterization of a novel breast carcinoma xenograft and cell line derived from a BRCA1 germ-line mutation carrier (2003)

Johannsson, Oskar T, Staff, Synnöve, Vallon-Christersson, Johan, Kytöla, Soili, Gudjonsson, Thorarinn, Rennstam, Karin, ...

A human tumor xenograft (L56Br-X1) was established from a breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis of a 53-year-old woman with a BRCA1 germ-line nonsense mutation (1806C>T; Q563X), and a cell...

Characterization of a Novel Breast Carcinoma Xenograft and Cell Line Derived from a BRCA1 Germ-Line Mutation Carrier. (2003)

Johannsson, Oskar T, Staff, Synnöve, Vallon-Christersson, Johan, Kytöla, Soili, Gudjonsson, Thorarinn, Rennstam, Karin, ...

A human tumor xenograft (L56Br-X1) was established from a breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis of a 53-year-old woman with a BRCA1 germ-line nonsense mutation (1806C>T; Q563X), and a cell...

Chromosomal translocations involving 11q13 contribute to cyclin D1 overexpression in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. (2002)

Akervall, Jan, Borg, Ake, Dictor, Michael, Jin, Charlotte, Jin, Yuesheng, Tanner, Minna, ...

CCND1 amplification results in cyclin D1 overexpression. However, other unidentified genetic mechanisms contribute to enhanced gene expression. In the present study, 32 squamous cell carcinoma of the...

Low frequency of E-cadherin alterations in familial breast cancer (2001)

Salahshor, Sima, Haixin, Lei, Huo, Huagang, Kristensen, Vessela N., Loman, Niklas, Sjoberg-Margolin, Sara, ...

In order to explore the possible role of E-cadherin in familial cancer, 19 familial breast cancer patients, whose tumours demonstrated loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the E-cadherin locus, were...

An Evaluation of Genetic Heterogeneity in 145 Breast-Ovarian Cancer Families

Narod, Steven A., Ford, Deborah, Devilee, Peter, Barkardottir, Rosa B., Lynch, Henry T., Smith, Simon A., ...

The breast-ovary cancer–family syndrome is a dominant predisposition to cancer of the breast and ovaries which has been mapped to chromosome region 17ql2-q21. The majority, but not all, of...
