Compared to European women, breast cancers in African women present at a younger age, with higher tumor grade and are more often estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone (PR) negative. We here investigate the histopathological immunohistochemical characteristics (ER, PR human epidermal growth 2 (HER2)) proportion of triple negative (Tneg) invasive from an unselected series patients diagnosed Kinshasa, compare them population Caucasian palpable cancer.
Application of Bethesda guidelines on cervical cytology involves human papillomavirus (HPV) determinations all ASC-US and ASC-H results. We compared HPV DNA results in view the eventual development a intraepithelial neoplasia lesion determined either or histology. A total 214 liquid-based samples were analysed. Three different methods applied: Abbott RealTime High Risk test, INNO-Lipa Genotyping Extra Full Spectrum PCR Amplification Detection/Genotyping System by Lab2Lab Diagnostic Service....
