A retrospective study included 25 cases with inflammatory breast cancer. The patients were admitted to AL-Assad University Hospital, Lattakia, Syria (average age 55, and range 49-61 years old). The most common clinical signs and symptoms were: erythema 100%, edema 100%, enlarged axillary nodes 100%, Nipple flattened/inverted 96%, warm Breast 92%, Ridges/thickening of breast 84%, Peau d’orange 88%, painful/tender Breast 88%, and Mass 80%. Mammography findings were: an increase in skin thickness 100%, an increased tissue density in the involved breast 100%, and an asymmetric widening of the sub-cutaneous lymphatic vessels 33.33%. 80% of cases were diagnosed as stage IV. All patients received primary neoadjuvant chemotherapy for three cycles. After that a modified radical breast mastectomy and axillary lymph nodes dissection were performed for all patients. The wound edges were closed primarily after dissecting the skin in 76%, for 4 patients 16% a split-thickness skin grafts were performed, and for 2 patients 8% a Latissimus dorsi pedicled myocutaneous flap was performed.

Background: people with cancer experience great changes in their life as a result of disease, treatment and disease prognosis which affect their quality of life .with the goal of investigating breast cancer patient's quality of life during chemother apy in Tishreen hospital in Latakia.. Methods: 60 patients were invited to complete the European organization of research and treatment quality of life questionnaire version 3 and breast cancer quality of life module during their early stage of chemotherapy. Results : the results show that the (73.3%) were under the age of fifty and half of them reported total health status score under (50) which reflects low quality of life in addition to impaired psychological ,social, cognitive and role functioning. Also more than 67% of patient suffered from chemotherapy- related side effects as nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, loss of appetite, insomnia, and fatigue. In addition to variance in quality of life scores according to age, marital status, occupation and level of education without changing of it by educational level. In addition to that the majority of patient had impaired sexual function and upset of hair loss and arm symptoms but with positive and optimistic future. perspective. No significant differences in quality of life scores were found between urban and rural patients. Conclusion. Health care provider should assess routinely cancer patient quality of life during treatment to ascertain of providing appropriate care with supportive services for all patients
Background: A cancer patient demands information, not only to assist him to understand the disease and its treatment, but also to allow him to interpret the negative events and action taken, through the course of disease, so that the threat inherent from the diagnosis and treatment becomes lessened. Methods: With the goal of studying the information needs and source of information of women with breast cancer who were receiving chemotherapy, 60 patients were invited to complete a self-administered questionnaire which consists of 47 item about information needs and 3 questions about sources of information with three choices (personnel, printed materials and mass media). They fill it at the early stage of their chemotherapy treatment. Results :The results showed that the majority of patients reported high level of information needs. Cancer and its spread, treatment, and side effects of chemotherapy as well as its management were priority information needs, in addition to the possibility of cancer occurrence among sisters and daughters. Results also demonstrated that the patients depended on doctors and other patients as sources of information more than on nurses and the internet. Conclusion: Findings indicate that there is a need for the provision of education program that addresses patients' information needs. Moreover, there is a necessity for ascertaining the role of educational nursing in affording holistic nursing care for breast cancer patien
Aim: to assess the expression ofcathepsin B(ctsB; an important protease) in human breast cancer and correlate that with the tumor grade. Materials and Methods:Serial sections were obtained from 23 formalin-fixed paraffin embedded breast cancer tis sue specimens which were collected from Alasad University Hospital and a pathological laboratory in Lattakia - Syria. Tissues were stained for cathepsin B using immunohistochemistry. Tonsil tissues were also included as a positive control. Results:Positive cytoplasmic staining of CtsB was observed in both follicular macrophages and endothelial cells in tonsil sections. In breast cancer tissues, tumor cells, endothelial cells and stroma stained positive for CtsB. The presence of CtsB in blood endothelium significantly correlated with the tumor grade (p=0.049). Conclusion: These results supported the important role of cathepsin B in tumor progression, particularly in angiogenesis. Future studies should investigate the regulating mechanisms of cathepsin activities within the tumor environment, and that can be considered as new tagets for cancer treatment.
In spite of all the advances in health care and medical technology, provision of quality health care to cancer patients remains one of the major challenges that health care professionals have to face in the next years. this study was conducted to assess the effect of nursing care on breast cancer patients quality of life at homes. by using quazi-experimental design 80 breast cancer patients were selected (40 experimental group ,40 control group) receiving chemotherapy recently. Experimental group patients received supportive psycho-educational interventions consisted of education, progressive muscle relaxation technique with four supportive range of motion exercises in addition to emotional support for three months. While control group patients received routine nursing care in hospital. The results were assessed for both groups by using European organization for cancer research and treatment quality of life questionnaire (EOCRT-QLQ C30) and breast cancer module.
recurrence is a major problem which affects 40% of Breast cancer patients . Bcl2 is an antiapoptotic protein which is implicated in many cases of cancer development and cancer resistance to therapy. Aim of study : investigate the role of Bcl2 in recurrence in Breast cancer patients
