Cancer and thrombosis: recent advances
نویسنده
چکیده
The burden of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a challenging problem in the medical management of cancer patients. The well-known association between cancer and VTE 1 can now be rigorously studied with modern molecular techniques 2. Large population-based epidemiologic studies have shed light on the relative frequency of VTE and cancer types 3,4, and clinical trials of cancer therapy have defined additional risk factors that compound the thrombotic risk 4–6.

Review of mechanisms and recent advances in cancer photo thermal therapy
Abstract. Cancer is a major health problem all over the world. Photo thermal therapy (PTT) is a non-invasive method in cancer treatment. In PTT, the laser light usually in near-infra red region is absorbed and converted to heat in the cancerous tissue. The temperature above 40 ° C in PTT can induce some effects including irreversible damage to proteins, changes in enzyme struc...
متن کاملRecent advances in nanoformulations for co-delivery of curcumin and chemotherapeutic drugs
The application of chemotherapy in cancer treatment has been limited due to cause side effects such as toxicity against normal cells and drug resistance. In recent years, numerous studies have been focused on using natural products with chemotherapeutic drugs to enhance therapeutic efficiency and reduce cytotoxicity. On the other hand, encapsulation of drugs into nanoparticles (NPs) can improve...
