## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Metronomic chemotherapy has been demonstrated to be of value in patients with advanced breast cancer. No reliable markers of response are available. In breast tumor, HERβ2/__neu__ is a prognostic factor, whereas no definite data exist for EGFR. The aim of the study was t
Receptor tyrosine kinases play an important role in malignant transformation of epithelial cells by activating signal transduction pathways important for proliferation, invasion and metastasis. In a pilot study (n β«Ψβ¬ 40), we evaluated expression of the c-Met and Her2/neu receptor tyrosine kinases a
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Few studies have compared primary neoadjuvant endocrine therapy with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. The need for preoperative chemotherapy with doxorubicin or taxanes may be reduced in postmenopausal patients with estrogen receptor (ER)βpositive and/
