Aromatase and steroid sulfatase mRNA expression in fine needle aspirates from benign and malignant breast disorders

Abstract: The fine needle aspiration (FNA) test is a convenient and tolerable technique with minimal invasion that is accepted by most women. Local estrogen synthesis depends mainly on the aromatase and steroid sulfatase pathways that are believed to play important roles in breast carcinogenesis. However, little is known about the level of aromatase and steroid sulfatase mRNA expression in FNA samples which contain only small amounts of tissue. The nested Q-PCR assay has been proven to be a highly sensitive and specific… Show more
