Despite a lot of research, the etiology and progression of breast cancer remain incompletely understood. Recently, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was reported as a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to know whether breast cancer could be caused by cytomegalovirus or not? In this experiment seventeen samples of RAZI/A mice with spontaneous breast cancer were being gathered fr...

background breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women around the world so finding new biomarkers for early detection and also study on molecular aspects of breast cancer is valuable. cancer testis genes are a group of genes expressed solely in testis and in a range of human malignancies. objectives in this study we determined the expression of cancer testis genes tsga10, tex101 and od...

background: methicillin-resistant (mrsa) staphylococcus aureus ( s. aureus ) are responsible for a vast number of nosocomial infections especially in immunocompromised subjects such as cancer patients. the presence of comorbidities including malignancies has been associated, with s. aureus bacteremia mortality. thus, the detection of mrsa in this patients and the antibiotic susceptibility patte...

background: we studied the patterns of premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer incidence and its established risk factors in iran in 2010. in addition, we estimated the 5-year prevalence of breast cancer in the country. methods: we performed an internet and library literature review. we used national cancer registry data, demographic health surveys, national censuses and world bank data ...

cancer patients experience several stressors and emotional upheavals. fear of death, interruption of life plans, changes in body image and self-esteem, changes in social role and lifestyle are all important issues to be faced. moreover, depressive disorders may impact the course of the disease and compliance. the cost and prevalence, the impairment caused and the diagnostic and therapeutic unce...

Introduction In recent years methods based on radio frequency waves have been used for detecting breast cancer. Using theses waves leads to better results in early detection of breast cancer comparing with conventional mammography which has been used during several years. Materials and Methods In this paper, a new method is introduced for detection of backscattered signals which are received by...

background: breast cancer is one of the most important diseases in females. malaysian women have not excluded. according to the malaysian oncology society [1], about 4% of women (who are 40 years old and above) have involved by breast cancer. masses and microcalcifications are two important signs for breast cancer diagnosis on mammography. according to our estimation, radiologists could diagnos...

Many types of cancers develop in the oral and maxillofacial region. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common cancer and constitutes over 90 percent of these tumors. Malignant transformation is a genetic process, which later makes a phenotyping change at the cellular level. Some cancers such as oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) develop from pre-malignant lesions and conditions. Despite adv...
