a thorough recognition of the nature and duties of the genes is based upon having adequate information about the proteins. however, the proteomic projects follow a slow trend; therefore, solving the protein-related problems has become as one of the most important challenges in bio-informatics. consequently, the presence of tools which can enhance the structural recognition, classification, and ...

cancer registration is an important source for measuring the burden of cancer in a population. in practice, however, quite frequently incorrect patients are registered or data items can be inaccurately recorded or not recorded at all. also the process or quality of these registrations varies among countries. in this paper, we briefly discussed some statistical techniques including; mortality an...

Abstract Along with early-onset cancers, multiple primary cancers (MPCs) are likely resulting from increased genetic susceptibility; however, the associated predisposition genes or prevalence of pathogenic variants in MPC patients often unknown. We screened 71 stomach, colorectal, and endometrium, sequencing 65 cancer genes. A subset 19 stomach colorectum were further evaluated for related usin...

INTRODUCTION Lung and gastric cancers are the first and second leading causes of death from cancer worldwide, and are especially prevalent in Eastern Asia. Relatively few reports are available in relation to the treatment and outcome of synchronous lung and gastric cancers, although there are increasing numbers of patients with these cancers. Efforts to develop more effective drugs for the trea...

Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers nowadays. In metastatic setting, diagnosis and treatment have relied on tumor tissue analysis. However, different limitations this approach recently opened door to introduction liquid biopsy in clinical setting. Liquid provides real-time information about its heterogeneity a simple, non-invasive, repeatable way. There are several analytes t...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) related cancers in children are not as common and as well described as in adults. An HIV epidemic has been prevalent in Zambia since 1983-1984. To study the effect of the epidemic on the epidemiology of cancers in children a retrospective study was undertaken at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH), Lusaka, Zambia. All the histopathological records from 1980...

Smoking is, and long has been, more prevalent among Maori than non-Maori in New Zealand. Lung cancer, but not other smoking-related cancers, is known to be markedly more common among Maori than non-Maori. Incidence and mortality data from the New Zealand Cancer Registry for cancers of the mouth/pharynx, oesophagus, pancreas, larynx, kidney and bladder, as well as lung/pleura, during the period ...

Histopathological diagnoses were compiled for 100 sinonasal cancers and 259 lung cancers in nickel refinery workers, including cases from Wales, Canada, and Norway. The sinonasal cancers comprised squamous cell carcinomas (48 percent), anaplastic and undifferentiated carcinomas (39 percent), adenocarcinomas (6 percent), transitional cell carcinomas (3 percent), and other malignant tumors (4 per...
