Abstract:

This thesis was a retrospective cohort study that investigated the relationship between lifetime sun exposure and breast cancer stage, as a measure of prognosis, in women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. This project was the first of its kind and aimed to enhance the understanding of the effects of sun exposure, possibly mediated by vitamin D, on breast cancer stage and provide insight into ways in which the prognosis of breast cancer can be improved. The study found no significant relationship between lifetime sun exposure and breast cancer stage.

Abstract:

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death worldwide; despite recent treatment developments survival rates remain poor and are closely related to the patient’s clinical stage. Even among patients with early-stage lung cancer, which is amenable to surgical resection, prognosis is highly variable; some go on to live disease-free for many years whereas others quickly recur. Although post-operative chemotherapy is available it has associated morbidities and it is unclear which patients would benefit; therefore, there is a need for more effective stratification of patients.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed among women in the United States, and the second cause of female cancer-related death, with approximately 40,000 deaths annually.

Recent studies have demonstrated that AKR1B10 promotes breast cancer cell adhesion and invasion through the expression of integrin α5 and δ-catenin.

A breast cancer diagnosis and treatment heralds a series of frightening events and can be a traumatic experience.

The decision-making process also involves consideration of recurrence risk as well as management of the unaffected, contralateral breast for both future surveillance and risk reduction.

Features studied included surgery date, age, gender, chemotherapy, tumor location, number of positive lymph nodes, tumor differentiation, and lymphovascular and perineural invasion. Tim
