Expression profile of inflammatory breast cancer

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2013 Sep;155(5):667-72. doi: 10.1007/s10517-013-2221-2.

Abstract

Inflammatory breast cancer is characterized by high malignancy, early and rapid lymphogenic and hematogenic metastasizing, and high mortality. The diagnosis of this form of cancer is based fully on the clinical criteria. Whole transcriptome analysis of tumor tissue specimens from patients with inflammatory breast cancer detected 137 differentially expressed mRNA (17 genes with low expression and 120 with high expression). Genes involved in the organization of inflammatory process, chemotaxis, and transcription regulation were active in the process of pathogenesis of inflammatory breast cancer.
