background: the gold standard for detection of bladder cancer is cystoscopy, which is an invasive and complicated procedure. our study was conducted to find a tumor marker with high specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy for the diagnosis of bladder cancer. methods: serum samples were collected from 58 bladder cancer patients and 60 healthy control subjects. levels of lipid-bound sialic acid (l...

context triple negative breast cancer (tnbc) is a heterogeneous group of diseases that is negative for esterogen receptor (er) progesteron receptor (pr) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (her2). this type of breast cancer is typically high-grade carcinomas, although low-grade tumors occur. the aim of this review is to focus on molecular classification and features, prognostic markers...
