## Abstract Breast cancers are the leading cancers among females. Diagnosis by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the gold standard. The widely practiced screening method, mammography, suffers from high false positive results and repeated exposure to harmful ionizing radiation. As with all o

## Abstract Optical spectroscopy methods are fast emerging as potential alternatives for early diagnosis of cancer. A Raman spectroscopy method for discrimination of normal and malignant oral tissues has been developed by us earlier. It is necessary to evaluate and establish the validity of the app
## Abstract A quantitative study of carcinoembryonic antigenic activity (CEA) in extracts of 44 tumors, 42 fetal and 36 nonβmalignant adult tissues from various organs was made and the CEA content detected by microradioimmunoassay was related to the wet tissue weight. A variety of malignant neoplas
Using a differential centrifugation method followed by culture in selective medium, we have successfully isolated and maintained individual epithelial and stromal cells from normal (n = 10) and malignant (n = 6) human breast tissue and characterised their phenotype by immunocytochemistry. Further, w
In 20-30 per cent of human breast cancers, the receptor tyrosine kinases epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and c-erbB2 are overexpressed. This overexpression leads to increased mitogenic signalling and is correlated with poor prognosis. Overexpression of associated adaptor proteins, like Grb2,
