Article Abstract
Background: The aim of the present work was to evaluate the prognostic significance in patients with T1 breast cancer of tissue expression of the two oncosuppressors phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and non-metastatic clone 23 (NM23) as detected by immunohistochemistry.
Materials And Methods: We prospectively analyzed 62 patients who underwent surgery for a T1 stage breast cancer. Expression of PTEN and NM23 was tested for correlation with clinical characteristics and clinical outcome.
Results: Of the 62 patients considered for our study, 16 underwent mastectomy and 46 underwent conservative surgical treatment. The surgery was considered radical (R0) in all cases described. PTEN and NM23 expression was higher in patients with no lymph node metastases and no recurrent cancer at a mean follow-up of 36 months (range=6-48 months). This correlation was more evident when both PTNE and NM23 expression were highly expressed (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: Low or lack of PTEN and NM23 immunohistochemical expression in cancer tissue is a risk factor for lymph node involvement and recurrent disease. It may represent a valid prognostic factor in planning therapy in patients who had surgery for T1 breast cancer.

Externalization of the phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) to the outer mitochondrial membrane has been proposed to act as a mitophagy trigger. CL would act as a signal for binding the LC3 macroautophagy/autophagy proteins. As yet, the behavior of the LC3-subfamily members has not been directly compared in a detailed way.

Metastasis suppressors in human benign prostate, intraepithelial neoplasia, and invasive cancer: their prospects as therapeutic agents.

Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, development of metastases remains a major clinical challenge. Research efforts are dedicated to overcome this problem by understanding the molecular basis of the transition from benign cells to prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), localized carcinoma, and metastatic cancer. Identification of proteins that inhibit dissemination of cancer cells will provide new perspectives to define novel therapeutics.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the tumor suppressor PTEN in predicting outcomes for patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck who received different radiotherapy treatments post-surgery.
- High PTEN expression was associated with improved loco-regional control (LRC) in those treated with continuous radiotherapy compared to conventional schedules, while low PTEN levels did not show any benefit from the more aggressive treatment.
- Findings imply that PTEN could be an important prognostic factor for tailoring postoperative radiotherapy in high-risk head and neck cancer patients.

Background/aims: To comprehensively understand the influence of laparoscopic resection on expressions of metastasis related genes in colorectal cancer by microarray.
Methodology: Adjacent cancer tissues were obtained from the same patient with rectal cancer pre and post laparoscopic resection. The mRNA expressions of metastasis related genes were detected by GEArray Q Series human tumor metastasis gene array HS-007.
