TLDR
It is supported that mutation in p53 gene can be exploited as a prognostic marker for the early diagnosis of breast cancer, although more clinical and epidemiological data is required to establish this claim.Abstract:
The p53 tumor suppressor gene is the most commonly mutated gene in cancer. In breast cancer, the presence of p53 gene alterations has been associated with worse prognosis. This study was attempted to associate p53 gene mutations with its protein expression in North Eastern Indian population. We used single-stranded conformation polymorphism to screen samples for mutations in five conserved regions, exons 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, of the p53 gene. Mutations were confirmed by direct DNA sequencing. Samples were also analyzed for expression of p53 immunohistochemically. We found two critical mutations in the exon 4. A well known missense mutation at codon 72 (pro to arg) with a frequency of 47% was found which was significantly correlated with the immunohistochemical analysis of p53 protein in such patients. A novel nonsense mutation at codon 107 which leads to stop codon was also found. Although the occurrence of this mutation was very less, we did not find expression of p53 protein immunohistochemicaly. We support that mutation in p53 gene can be exploited as a prognostic marker for the early diagnosis of breast cancer, although more clinical and epidemiological data is required to establish this claim.read more

The changing face of breast cancer--past, present and future perspectives.
TL;DR: Although breast cancer remains the most common from of cancer in women, changing attitudes have helped to ensure improved awareness and earlier presentation of patients, leading to earlier diagnosis and better prognosis, and significant progress has been made over the last 30 years.

TL;DR: A study of clinical and pathological features, patterns of relapse and prognosis of breast cancer in various religious communities in India--viz. Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Parsi--was undertaken, no differences in the overall 5-year survival was observed between the communities.

TL;DR: A study to determine the pattern of various malignancies in Eastern Rajasthan was conducted for the year 1990 and found that penile, testicular, bone, skin, anorectal cancers and lymphoma was on the higher side whereas the incidence of stomach, oesophagus and lung cancer was onThe lower side.

TL;DR: The majority of cancers were seen between 31-60 years with a peak in 41-50 years age group, and among Muslims, cancer cervix and penis were infrequent, while cancer lung and larynx were also relatively less frequent in Muslims.
