The Prevalence of Human Papilloma Virus in Esopha-geal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Background: Carcinomas of esophagus, mostly squamous cell carcinomas, occur throughout the world. There are a number of suspected genetic or environmental etiologies. Human papilloma virus (HPV) is said to be a major etiology in areas with high incidence of esophageal carcinoma, while it is hardly detectable in low incidence regions. This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of HPV in ...
متن کاملP-243: Prenatal Diagnosis Using Array CGH: Case Presentation
Background: Karyotype analysis has been the standard and reliable procedure for prenatal cytogenetic diagnosis since the 1970s. However, the major limitation remains requirement for cell culture, resulting in a delay of as much as 14 days to get the test results.CGH array technology has proven to be useful in detecting causative genomic imbalances or genetic mutations in as many as 15% of child...
متن کاملInduction of Apoptosis by a Combination of 2-Deoxyglucose and Metformin in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Targeting Cancer Cell Metabolism
Background: Both mitochondrial dysfunction and aerobic glycolysis are signs of growing aggressive cancer. If altered metabolism of cancer cell is intended, using the glycolysis inhibitor (2-deoxyglucose (2DG)) would be a viable therapeutic method. The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), as a metabolic sensor, could be activated with metformin and it can also launch a p53-dependent metabolic ch...
متن کاملChanging Epidemiology of Esophageal Can-cer in Fars Province, Iran
Background: Esophageal carcinoma is one of the most lethal gastrointestinal (GI) malignant tumors worldwide. The disease is known to have a high incidence in northern Iran; however, its condition in the South is not much clear. Objective: In this retrospective study we investigated the epidemiology and time trends of esophageal carcinoma in Fars Province, South of Iran. Methods: In a retrospec...
متن کاملPrevalence of Nucleotide Alterations of EGFR Gene in Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Kerman
Background & Aims: Esophageal Cancer is the sixth fatal cancer in the world. Squamous and adenocarcinoma account for 95% of esophageal cancer. The expression of EGFR has a role in the pathophysiology of epidermal-based malignancies such as esophageal cancer. EGFR is also an important criterion in the evaluation of disease staging and prognosis. The aim of this study was to survey the prevalence...
