Background:
"Inflammatory" breast cancer is a rare and very aggressive form of the disease characterised by rapid onset and dismal outcome.
Methods:
This review describes the clinical and molecular aspects of inflammatory breast cancer. The relevant English language literature on of inflammatory breast cancer was searched via Medline and ISI Web of Knowledge Cross Search (1924-2005), cross-referencing with key articles on the subject.
Results And Conclusion:
An increasing body of evidence demonstrates that inflammatory breast cancer is a unique form of breast cancer. A prompt diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach (based on neoadjuvant chemotherapy, loco-regional treatment with surgery and/or radiotherapy, followed in some cases by adjuvant systemic therapy) are the two factors most likely to have an impact on survival. As the molecular basis of the disease is becoming increasingly more defined, new potential therapeutic targets may arise in the future.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
Inflammatory Response I: Vascular and Cellular
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
