Drug resistance plays an important role in chemotherapy failure in breast cancer. We studied the expression of MDR1, MRP, LRP, DNA topoisomerases, p53 and Ki-67 in different groups of breast cancer patients in relation to chemotherapy. Tissues from 6 normal breasts and 20 primary operable, 40 locall

Although breast cancer presents as localized disease and is treated with local modalities, i.e. surgery and radiotherapy, patients die with metastatic disease. For patients with positive nodes, the recurrence rates are well known. It is this group of patients who should receive more aggressive trea
A series of 41 patients at the MGH who received B-drug chemotherapy, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, vincristine and prednisone, (CMF VP) as adjuvant to surgical treatment of operable breast cancer with 4 or more positive axillary nodes is compared to an analogous group of patients t
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are induced in vitro by several cytotoxic drugs; in human breast cancer cells these proteins appear to be involved in anti-cancer drug resistance. The present report was designed to analyze whether chemotherapy affects in vivo the expression of Hsp27, Hsp70, Hsc70 and Hsp9
