background : transarterial chemoembolization is the preferred treatment for unresectable, intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma. survival after transarterial chemoembolization can be highly variable. the purpose of this study is to identify the factors that predict overall survival of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who undergo transarterial chemoembolization as the in...

Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the commonest cancer of Indian women. Estrogen and Progesterone expression is seen in benign breast lesions and in breast carcinoma associated with good prognostic parameters and it correlates well with response to hormone therapy. Although a lot of studies have been conducted in the past on hormone receptor expression in breast cancer and few have cor...

Introduction: Radiation therapy is an important procedure for treatment of more than half of tumors. One way to increase the efficiency of radiation therapy is application of radiosensitizer at the site of tumor. gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have several characteristics that make them attractive for using with radiation therapy including small size (1–100 nm), biocompatibility, pr...

osteoid osteomata are rarely found in the distal phalanges of the hand. the usual presenting features are chronic pain, nail enlargement and increase in size of the terminal part of the digit. diagnosis is difficult but surgical excision is effective for treating the patients’pain. we reported this tumor in distal phalanx of the middle finger.

introduction: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the hsp-70 (heat shock protein-70) induction in the lysate of heat shocked tumor cells on splenocyte proliferation, nitric oxide production by peritoneal macrophages, and fibrosarcoma tumor size reduction in balb/c mice. material and methods: wehi 164 cells (mouse fibrosarcoma cell line) were injected subcutaneously into the r...

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most prevalent salivary tumor, 65% of which occur in major glands. This tumor varies in terms of size depending on the gland where it is located. The most common sites of the minor salivary glands are the palate, lips, cheeks, and throat. Palatal pleomorphic adenoma is laterally located, rarely crossing the midline. This tumor is painless with slow growth rate, which ...

   In recent years, Hyperthermia has been used as an emerging technique for cancer treatment, especially for localized tumors. One of the promising cancer treatment approaches is magnetic nanoparticle (MNPs) Hyperthermia. In this theoretical work, the temperature distribution of a common tumor over the different sizes of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles, namely 25, 50, 100, and 200 nm, was stud...
