Biomarkers of benefit from cetuximab-based therapy in metastatic colorectal cancer: Interaction of EGFR ligand expression with RAS/RAF, PIK3CA genotypes
(2013)Background: More than half of patients with KRAS-wild type advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) fail anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies. We studied EGFR-axis messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and RAS, RAF, PIK3CA mutations in order ...

Gene expression of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and microtubule-associated protein Tau in high-risk early breast cancer: A quest for molecular predictors of treatment benefit in the context of a Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group trial
(2009)Background Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) protein expression carry weak prognostic and moderate predictive utility for the outcome of early breast cancer patients on adjuvant chemohormonotherapy. ...

Intratumoral CRH modulates immuno-escape of ovarian cancer cells through FasL regulation
(2007)Although corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and Fas ligand (FasL) have been documented in ovarian carcinoma, a clear association with tumour progression and immuno-escape has not been established. FasL plays an important ...

The missing kiss of life: Transcriptional activity of the metastasis suppressor gene KiSS1 in early breast cancer
(2007)Background: KiSS-1 is a metastasis suppressor gene encoding a neuropeptide with potent antimetastatic activities in tumour cell lines. The transcriptional activity of the gene and its associations in resected breast cancer ...

Article
Prognostic significance of UBE2C mRNA expression in high-risk early breast cancer. A hellenic cooperative oncology group (HECOG) study
(2012)Background: The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis. Components of the UPS have recently been implicated in breast cancer progression. In the present study, we sought to explore the ...

Prognostic utility of angiogenesis and hypoxia effectors in patients with operable squamous cell cancer of the larynx
(2012)Angiogenesis is active in localised laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. We assessed relative messenger RNA (mRNA) and immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGF) A, B, C, their receptors ...

Article
Prognostic utility of β-tubulin isotype III and correlations with other molecular and clinicopathological variables in patients with early breast cancer: A translational Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group (HeCOG) study
(2011)We evaluated the prognostic and predictive utility of β-tubulin isotype III (TUBB3) tumour gene transcription in early breast cancer patients enrolled in a randomised study. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase ...

Article
Survivin and glycodelin transcriptional activity in node-positive early breast cancer: mRNA expression of two key regulators of cell survival
(2006)Introduction: Glycodelin and survivin are key polypeptide regulators of cellular proliferation, apoptosis and angiogenesis. In view of contradictory reports on their functional role in tumors, we studied their transcriptional ...

A twisted kiss: In vitro and in vivo evidence of genetic variation and suppressed transcription of the metastasis-suppressor gene KiSS1 in early breast cancer
(2010)KiSS-1 is a metastasis suppressor gene, its inactivation linked to advanced tumor stage and dismal prognosis. We studied its mutational status, transcription and protein expression in human cancer cell lines and patients ...
