Abstract: Intravascular hemangiomas are rare tumors that account for less than 1% of all hemangiomas. We reported a 37-year-old female who presented with a mass on the upper thigh. The radiologic criteria were classic for hemangioma; phleboliths on plain X-ray and hypoechoic mass with the US. MRI confirmed the diagnosis – the mass was hypointense on T1 and hyper intense on T2-weighted images. The mass was surgically removed with
Abstract: A 32 year old male with past medical history of hypertension and sleep apnea and maternal family history of breast cancer presents to a local emergency department complaining of shortness of breath. Symptoms improved with breathing treatments and evaluation for deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolus was initiated.

Abstract: The prognosis of patients with metastatic HER positive disease was improved by the anti-HER targeted therapies. Approximatively, 10% of all breast cancers are both HER2 positive and hormone receptor positive [1]. The optimal management of hormone positive/HER positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remains unclear The NCCN guidelines recommend first line endocrine therapy regardless of HER status excepted
Abstract: We investigated the anticancer activity of erufosine on the triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB 231 in terms of cytotoxicity, induction of apoptosis and inhibition of cell migration. The antiproliferative effect was determined by MTT test. The induced cell death was revealed by using acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EtBr) live cell staining. The effect on cell migration was evaluated by wound-healing assay.
