  • CONCLUSIONS: Although no strict clinical criteria exist to differentiate a melanoma metastasis to the breast from a primary breast carcinoma atypically rapid growth, normal Ca 15-3 level, and a history of prior melanoma may be helpful. However, it may be still misdiagnosed in some cases even histopathologically if the immunohistochemical staining is not performed.
  • Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism(s) and breast cancer risk in north Indians. [Journal Article]

  • CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that the VDR poly-A polymorphism is significantly associated with breast cancer risk in north Indians especially with early onset disease. Although, ApaI and TaqI did not show any significant association with the disease when analyzed in isolation, but TaqI might modulate the risk associated with L alleles. Further, understanding the functional role of these variants residing on the VDR haplotype associated with disease susceptibility may suggest novel approaches for breast cancer prevention and therapy.

  • CONCLUSIONS: This study presents a significantly high incidence of benign meningioma in the ME population in California. This may be due to higher susceptibility or exposure of this ethnic group to the risk factor(s) for this neoplasm. Considering the reported causal association of benign meningioma with childhood radiation exposure from Israel, exposure to this risk factor in this ethnic group needs to be evaluated in future studies.

  • Quantitative assessment of red meat or processed meat consumption and kidney cancer. [Review]

  • CONCLUSIONS: Although many of the summary results were positive, all were weak in magnitude, most were not statistically significant, and associations were attenuated among studies that adjusted for key potential confounding factors. In summary, the findings of this meta-analysis are not supportive of an independent relation between red or processed meat intake and kidney cancer.

  • A deficit in biopsying potentially premalignant oral lesions in Puerto Rico. [Journal Article]

  • CONCLUSIONS: A disparity in the OC relative frequency exists in PR vs. NYC indicating a shortfall in biopsying potentially precancerous oral lesions in PR. PR residents with intraoral lesions suspicious for oral cancer/precancer are most likely to be biopsied only after developing an invasive OC.

  • Prostate cancer diagnosis: should patients with prostate specific antigen >10ng/mL have stratified prostate biopsy protocols? [Journal Article]

  • CONCLUSIONS: TRUS guided prostate biopsy in patients with PSA>10ng/mL did not require 12 cores to diagnose CaP. CaP diagnosis required 8 cores in men with PSA 10-20ng/mL. These cores were right and left peripheral basal and apical, and right and left para-sagittal basal and apical biopsy. Only 6 cores were necessary to diagnose CaP in men with PSA>20ng/mL which were right and left peripheral basal and apical, and para-sagittal apical biopsies. We suggest limited TRUS prostate biopsy protocols for men with PSA>10ng/mL.
