Molecular epidemiology of Human Papillomaviruses in breast cancer, Golestan province of Iran

Abstract Background and objectives: Breast cancer is the most prevalent one in women. Some of the common causative factors are genetic background, nutritional and environmental factors. Viruses are believed as a risk factor in this cancer, too. Recent studies reported that Human Papillomaviruses can be one of the possible risk factors of breast cancer. This study focused on investigation of the...

Molecular epidemiology of gastric cancer.

Molecular epidemiology refers to the incorporation of molecular techniques in epidemiological studies. There are different biomarkers in cancer research used for molecular epidemiology including markers of exposure, markers of dose, susceptibility, treatment response, prognosis, altered structure/function and cancer type. Selected markers, especially those of exposure and susceptibility, are de...

Molecular epidemiology of lung cancer.

Lung cancer occurs through a complex multistage process that results from the combination of carcinogen exposure and genetic susceptibilities. The primary etiology of lung cancer is tobacco smoking, but an understanding of why some smokers develop lung cancer, and others do not, remains unclear. Current studies focus on genetic susceptibilities to lung cancer, and how they modify the effects of...
