Abstract

The aim of present study was to evaluate the relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) −2578C/A, −2549I/D, −460T/C and −7C/T and VEGFR1 −710C/T polymorphisms with risk to breast cancer in North Indians. A total of 204 sporadic breast cancer patients and 204 controls were recruited for this case-control study. Significantly increased frequency of II genotype of −2549I/D polymorphism was observed in patients as compared to control individuals (odds ratio (OR) = 2.76, 95 % confidence interval (CI), 1.55–4.92; p = 0.0005). VEGF −2578AA genotype (OR = 2.87; 95 % CI, 1.61–5.10; p = 0.0003) and A allele (OR = 1.65, 95 % CI, 1.25–2.18; p = 0.0004) were found to be associated with increased risk for breast cancer. Individuals carrying CC genotype (OR = 2.23, 95 % CI, 1.25–3.97) and C allele (OR = 1.42, 95 % CI, 1.07–1.87) of VEGF −460T/C polymorphism were at higher risk of breast cancer. There was no significant difference in genotype and allele distribution of VEGF −7C/T and VEGFR1 −710C/T polymorphisms between cases and control individuals (p > 0.05). Linkage disequilibrium analysis showed a strong linkage between VEGF −2549I/D and −2578C/A polymorphisms (Lewontin’s \( \overset{^{\prime }}{D} \) = 0.99; r 2 = 0.97), −2549I/D and −460T/C (\( \overset{^{\prime }}{D} \) = 0.94; r 2 = 0.84), and −2578C/A and −460T/C polymorphisms (\( \overset{^{\prime }}{D} \) = 0.93; r 2 = 0.83). In the present study, we concluded that VEGF −2549I/D, −2578C/A and −460T/C polymorphisms are associated with risk to breast cancer in Punjab, North India.

Umsetzung der POMGAT-Leitlinie läuft

03.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Seit November 2023 gibt es evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen zum perioperativen Management bei gastrointestinalen Tumoren (POMGAT) auf S3-Niveau. Vieles wird schon entsprechend der Empfehlungen durchgeführt. Wo es im Alltag noch hapert, zeigt eine Umfrage in einem Klinikverbund.

CUP-Syndrom: Künstliche Intelligenz kann Primärtumor finden

30.04.2024 Künstliche Intelligenz Nachrichten

Krebserkrankungen unbekannten Ursprungs (CUP) sind eine diagnostische Herausforderung. KI-Systeme können Pathologen dabei unterstützen, zytologische Bilder zu interpretieren, um den Primärtumor zu lokalisieren.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Adjuvante Immuntherapie verlängert Leben bei RCC

25.04.2024 Nierenkarzinom Nachrichten

Nun gibt es auch Resultate zum Gesamtüberleben: Eine adjuvante Pembrolizumab-Therapie konnte in einer Phase-3-Studie das Leben von Menschen mit Nierenzellkarzinom deutlich verlängern. Die Sterberate war im Vergleich zu Placebo um 38% geringer.
