BACKGROUND & AIMS People infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have an increased risk of some malignancies, but little is known about the effects of infection on risk of cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract. We evaluated the risks of different histologic and anatomic subtypes of carcinomas and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) of the stomach and esophagus in people with acquired im...

BACKGROUND It has been shown that cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) and acetyltransferase can be used as biomarkers of carcinogen-DNA adduct levels and human cancer susceptibility. The gastrointestinal tract is the portal of entry of foreign compounds and presents xenobiotic metabolizing N-acetyltransferase (NAT) and CYPs activities. 5-Methoxypsoralen (5-MOP) has been used in combination with UV r...

objective(s): development of molecules that specifically recognize cancer cells is one of the major areas in cancer research. human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (her2) is specifically expressed on the surface of breast cancer cells. her2 is associated with an aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis. in this study we aimed to isolate rna aptamers that specifically bind to her2 overexpressi...

The E2F family members play a critical role in cell cycle regulation and other biological processes in the cell. To better understand the involvement of E2F-1 in the development and progression of gastric tumors, we investigated the mutation and expression of E2F-1 in human gastric cancer tissues and the effect of E2F-1 overexpression on the proliferation of gastric carcinoma cells. In this stu...

Stomach cancer incidence rates vary by ethnic group in New Mexico, with American Indians and Hispanic Whites at higher risk than the state's non-Hispanic White population. To further characterize the de scriptive epidemiology of this disease in New Mexico, we investigated temporal trends in stomach cancer mortality and incidence rates. Stomach cancer mortality rates declined over a 25-year peri...

the adhesive interaction between tumor cells and the host cells or the extracellular matrix plays a crucial role in tumor metastasis. to evaluate the mediation of cell adhesion by daphne mucronata, an anti-cancer medicinal plant in iranian folk medicine, the adhesion of thrombin activated human platelets to the cultured monocytes or hl-60 cells was investigated under the effect of the plant ext...
