Project description:Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a unique clinical entity characterized by rapid onset of erythema and swelling of the breast often without an obvious breast mass. Many studies have examined and compared gene expression between IBC and non-IBC (nIBC), repeatedly finding clusters associated with receptor subtype, but no consistent gene signature associated with IBC has been validated. Here we examined microdissected IBC tumor cells compared to microdissected nIBC tumor cells matched based on estrogen and HER-2/neu receptor status. Genomic profiling of 20 inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), 20 non-IBC and 5 normal was studied.
Project description:Triple-negative primary breast cancer tumors, rich in inflammatory stroma, were laser microdissected and global mRNA expression was analyzed in stroma compartment, cancer cell compartment, and in total tumor tissue. Three FFPE breast cancer tumors wer laser microdissected and the cancer cell and stroma compartments were collected. A piece of t
