Background: Radiation-induced hypothyroidism (RHT) is one of the side effects that might have an impact on quality life patients with breast cancer treated radiotherapy. Objectives: The aim current study was to evaluate performances Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) and Log-Logistic models in prediction (HT) as well estimation model parameters for incidence RHT among cancer. Methods: Fifty-two radiati...

introduction: breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. one complication after mastectomy following breast cancer is ipsilateral upper extremity lymphedema. this study aims to compare the effect of complex decongestive physical (cdp) therapy with a combination of intermittent pneumatic compression pump and cdp therapy on secondary upper extremity lymphedema volume and quality...

We present a mechanistic biomathematical model of molecular radiotherapy thyroid disease. The general consists set differential equations describing the dynamics different populations cells with varying degrees damage caused by (undamaged cells, sub-lethally damaged doomed and dead cells), as well thyroglobulin antithyroglobulin autoantibodies, which are important surrogates treatment response....

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common known cancers in women all around the world. It is the most common cause of death in women after lung cancer. Radiotherapy is a method for therapy of cancer in which certain dose of high energy radiations is used to destruct cancer cells. Radiotherapy is designed so that radiation of eartain does to the target area in body i...

the primary carcinoma may secondarily invade bone tissue through direct extensions, blood circulation or lymphatic transportation particulary when it is arising from breast, prostate, kidney, thyroid and lung. metastatics tumors of bone are more common than primary tumor of bone. the most common tumor, which metastasizes into bone, is the breast adenocarcinoma. some metastatic tumors of bone in...

BACKGROUND Standard curative schedules of radiotherapy to the breast deliver 25 fractions of 2.0 Gy over 5 weeks. In a randomised trial, we tested whether fewer, larger fractions were at least as safe and as effective as standard regimens. In this analysis, we assessed the long-term results of tumour control in the same population. METHODS In 1986-98, we randomly assigned 1410 women with inva...

Introduction: Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of cancer. Because of the metastatic nature of cancer, the survival of women with breast cancer is decreasing despite receiving various treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between diabetes and the risk factors related to the survival of breast cancer patients. M...
