Journal ArticleDOI
Absence of HER4 Expression Predicts Recurrence of Ductal Carcinoma In situ of the Breast
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that coexpression of tyrosine kinase receptor co-expression may aid prediction of recurrence risk after surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
Journal Article
Effect of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibition on epithelial proliferation in normal and premalignant breast.
Kai C. Chan,W. Fiona Knox,Julia Margaret Wendy Gee,Julia Morris,Robert Ian Nicholson,Christopher S Potten,Nigel J Bundred +6 more
TL;DR: Whether the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), ZD1839 (Iressa), can reduce epithelial proliferation and increase apoptosis in EGFR-positive DCIS is established and provides a potential new chemopreventative approach in patients at high risk of breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Costs and benefits of a one stop clinic compared with a dedicated breast clinic: randomised controlled trial
Paola Dey,Nigel J Bundred,Alan Gibbs,Penelope Hopwood,Andrew D Baildam,C Boggis,Marilyn James,W. Fiona Knox,Vicki Leidecker,Ciaran B J Woodman +9 more
TL;DR: One stop clinics may not be justified in terms of a reduction in short term anxiety according to the cost to the NHS and the impact on anxiety at 3 weeks and 3 months after diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activated c-SRC in ductal carcinoma in situ correlates with high tumour grade, high proliferation and HER2 positivity.
Gregory Wilson,A. Cramer,Arkadiusz Welman,W. Fiona Knox,Ric Swindell,H Kawakatsu,Robert Clarke,Caroline Dive,Nigel J Bundred +8 more
TL;DR: High activated c-Src activity in ‘pure’ ductal carcinoma in situ may identify a subset of DCIS with high risk of recurrence or progression to invasive cancer where therapeutics targeting c- Src may benefit this patient subset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extent of excision margin width required in breast conserving surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ.
Kai C. Chan,W. Fiona Knox,Guria Sinha,Ashu Gandhi,Lester Barr,Andrew D Baildam,Nigel J Bundred +6 more
TL;DR: Breast conserving surgery is common practice for unifocal ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) less than 4 cm in size, but the extent of tumor free margin width around DCIS necessary to minimize recurrence is unclear.
