Background & Aims: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women, with the peak frequency of a decade lower than the global age. The aim of this cross sectional study is to estimate the burden of breast cancer in women in Western Azerbaijan Province in 2013. Materials & Methods:  In this cross-sectional study, the information needed to calculate YLD and YLL creating the total DA...

Soft Computing techniques play an important role for decision in applications with imprecise and uncertain knowledge. The application of soft computing disciplines is rapidly emerging for the diagnosis and prognosis in medical applications. Between various soft computing techniques, fuzzy expert system takes advantage of fuzzy set theory to provide computing with uncertain words. In a fuzzy exp...

Introduction: Breast cancer is the second cause of mortality among women. Early detection is the only rescue to reduce the risk of breast cancer mortality. Traditional methods cannot effectively diagnose tumor since they are based on the assumption of well-balanced dataset.. However, a hybrid method can help to alleviate the two-class imbalance problem existing in the ...

breast cancer is the most common cancer in women except skin cancer. the common metastatic sites include lymph node, lung, liver and bone. however, metastasis to the bladder is extremely rare. to our knowledge, this is the first case of breast cancer metastasis to urinary bladder in jordan which is reported. nine years after the initial diagnosis of lobular breast carcinoma, the patient suffere...

introduction: mortality rate of breast cancer has been fallen in recent years. combination of cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil(cmf), as a pioneer of adjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer, and later introduced anthracycline/taxane(a/t)-based regimens have both produced favorable outcomes in early-stage breast cancer. the current study, aimed to evaluate the probably different ...

background: as the third most frequent cause of cancer death, breast cancer is a common disease worldwide. most of the patients are being diagnosed in the stage that conventional treatments are not effective, and invasion and metastases lead to death. therefore, identification of novel molecular markers to improve early diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the breast cancer is a necessity. zin...

  Abstract   Background: Due to the high incidence of breast cancer and the effect of its early   diagnosis on decreasing morbidity and mortality, we used the Gail model to study   breast cancer risk in Iranian women.   Methods: This study was done in a simple randomized way. Participants were 2000   Iranian women older than 35 years old. The questionnaire consisted of demographic   data such a...

intoduction: the discovery of micrornas (mirnas), an extensive family of small non-protein-coding rnas, provided an exciting era in cancer research and recent findings have prompted us to revise the traditional concept of cancer. deregulated mirnas   expression influences biological events leading to cancer such as proliferation, differentiation, metastasis and apoptosis. the expression of onco...

background: breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women, and screening is the best way to make an early diagnosis. the aim of this study was to determine the rate of screening mammography and related variables in the mammography center of mousavi hospital, located in zanjan, iran. methods: this was a prospective descriptive study. study sample size was 526 women who were selected by ...
