A common feature among pre-malignant lesions is the induction of hypoxia through increased cell propagation and reduced access to blood flow. Hypoxia in breast cancer has been associated with poor patient prognosis, resistance to chemotherapy and inc...

Rapid in vitro testing and characterization of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents daunorubicin and cytarabine in acute myeloid leukaemia (2017)
Journal Article
May, J., Steven, J., Taylor, A., Dean, S., & Anderson, E. (2017). Rapid in vitro testing and characterization of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents daunorubicin and cytarabine in acute myeloid leukaemia. Mutagenesis, 32(6), 627. https://doi.org/10.1093/mutage/gex033

Treatment success in leukaemia is impacted by patient resistance to chemotherapy including cytarabine (ara-C) and the anthracycline daunorubicin (DNR) requiring rapid pre-screening testing. DNR is converted to daunorubicinol (DNRol) by carbonyl reduc...

A strategic approach for the visualisation of the low abundance protein fatty acid binding protein 7 (2015)
Journal Article

Fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7) is a 15kDa protein that plays a role in fatty acid transport, solubilisation and metabolism. It has been found to be overexpressed in triple negative/basal like breast cancer patients. The role of FABP7 in these...

Triple negative breast cancer: The role of metabolic pathways (2014)
Journal Article
Dean, S. J., & Rhodes, A. (2014). Triple negative breast cancer: The role of metabolic pathways. Malaysian Journal of Pathology, 36(3), 155-162

The incidence of breast cancer in Malaysia and other Asian countries is on the increase, reflecting lifestyle changes some of which are known risk factors for the development of breast cancer. Most breast cancers are amenable to adjuvant therapies th... Read More about Triple negative breast cancer: The role of metabolic pathways.

Loss of PTEN expression is associated with IGFBP2 expression, younger age, and late stage in triple-negative breast cancer (2014)

© American Society for Clinical Pathology. Objectives: To investigate the association between PTEN loss and IGFBP2 expression in a series of triple-negative breast cancers and to relate this expression to basal cytokeratin expression and clinicopatho...

(Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/823941

Introduction Triple negative breast cancers are defined by their lack of expression of HER, oestrogen receptors and progesterone receptors. They account for around 10-24% of cases. To define a cancer by the biomarkers it does not express is unsati...
