Abstract Background Several viruses with known oncogenic potential infect prostate tissue, among these are the polyomaviruses BKV, JCV, and SV40; human papillomaviruses (HPVs), cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections. Recently, Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus-related gammaretrovirus (XMRV) was identified in tissue a high prevalence observed cancer (PC) patients homozygous for glutamine variant of RNASEL protein (462Q/Q). Association studies R462Q allele non-XMRV have not been reported. We...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of tumors. Comparisons between TNBC and non-triple-negative (nTNBC) may help to differentiate key components involved in neoplasms. The purpose the study was analyze expression profile versus nTNBC tumors a homogeneous population from northeastern Mexico. A prospective 50 patients (25 25 nTNBC) conducted. Clinic parameters were equally distributed for nTNBC: age at diagnosis (51 47 years, p = 0.1), glucose level (107 mg/dl 104...
