## Background: The bcl-2 gene encodes for a protein that is involved in cell death regulation. it frequently is expressed in breast tumors, in which it is associated with favorable prognostic factors. it has been suggested that bcl-2 also may act as a modulator of response to chemotherapy and/or en

## BACKGROUND. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a well-documented procedure for the diagnosis and biologic characterization of breast carcinoma. In order to compare the immunocytochemical expression of biologic parameters on cytology and on histology, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone
Numerous recent studies have indicated the central role of apoptosis as a determinant of the growth abnormalities occurring with malignancy and of the effectiveness of a wide range of therapeutic manoeuvres in cancer treatment. However, there has been a relative paucity of studies measuring apoptosi
A case of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast in a 71-year-old woman is reported. This neoplasm accounts for about 0.1% of all breast cancers. The mammography showed a well-delineated mass without calcifications. Cytologic examination of percutaneous fine-needle aspiration (FNA) material ga
## Background: Difficulties with cytologic diagnoses on fine-needle aspiration cytology (fnac) of the liver can be overcome by the application of immunocytochemical panels applied on smears. the aim of the current study was to analyze the performance of a panel of monoclonal antibodies to different
