TLDR
Higher HDAC-2 expression was related to lobular histological type of cancer, grade III, and stage III BC, and other factors correlating with worse survival were histological types other than ductal or lobular, and the stage of the disease.Abstract:
Background/Aim: There is a strong association between malignancy and histone deacetylases (HDACs). Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) are now being tested as antitumor agents in various clinical trials. We aimed to assess the clinical importance of HDAC-2 in breast cancer (BC). Materials and Methods: A total of 118 BC specimens were examined immunohistochemically. A statistical analysis was conducted in order to examine the relation between HDAC-2 and the clinicopathological features and survival of the patients. Results: Higher HDAC-2 expression was related to lobular histological type of cancer, grade III, and stage III BC. In addition, the disease-free period and overall survival were curtailed and negatively related to the over-expression of HDAC-2. Other factors correlating with worse survival were histological types other than ductal or lobular, and the stage of the disease. Conclusions: This study showed a relationship between HDAC-2 and BC. Further studies are required in order to eventually potentiate the role of HDACIs as anticancer agents in BC.read more

TL;DR: The combined cancer death rate dropped continuously from 1991 to 2015 by a total of 26%, translating to approximately 2,378,600 fewer cancer deaths than would have been expected if death rates had remained at their peak.

TL;DR: Many of the estimated cancer cases and deaths can be prevented through reducing the prevalence of risk factors, while increasing the effectiveness of clinical care delivery, particularly for those living in rural areas and in disadvantaged populations.

TL;DR: A marked increase in the use of international datasets for more highly evidenced-based changes in staging, and the enhanced use of nonanatomic prognostic factors in defining the stage grouping are notable.
