due to the high incidence of deaths from breast cancer, high cost of treatment and limited resources, the need to formulate and implement effective programs in reducing the burden of disease is obvious. care, control and creation of cancer information system having an infrastructure from collection of minimum data sets (mds) are the top priorities of research in iran's ministry of health.this i...

objectives: ziziphus jujube (jujube) plant has exhibited numerous medicinal and pharmacological properties including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. this study was carried out to investigate its anti-cancer and pro-apoptotic abilities in human cervical and breast cancer cells in vitro. materials and methods: the cervical ov2008 and breast mcf-7 cancer cells were incubated with differ...

A series of fluorinated tetrahydropyrano[3,2-c]chromenes and dihydropyrano[3,2-b]pyran derivatives have been synthesized and their in vitro cytotoxic activities have been determined in cervical cancer cell line (HeLa), human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) and human alveolar adenocarcinoma cell line (A549). Compounds 4g, 4k, 4p showed a very potent activity against MDA-MB...

Tamoxifen has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of tumour recurrence in women with receptor positive breast cancer and has been used for chemoprevention in women with both non-invasive cancer and those with a high risk of developing breast cancer. An established and accepted risk with this treatment is the increased incidence of adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. Less well recognised ...

cancer is one of the main cause of mortality in the world which appears by the effect of enviromental physico-chemical mutagen and carcinogen agents. the identification of new cytotoxic drug with low sid effects on immune system has developed as important area in new studies of immunopharmacology. curcumin is a natural polyphenol with anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties...

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is promising antitumor agent that triggers immediate cytolysis of the tumor, apoptosis and activation immune system. This study was aimed at testing antiangiogenic NDV Performance on a model breast cancer. has been studied against mammalian adenocarcinoma AN3 transplanted into syngeneic immunocompetent mice through intratumoral injection to determine activity in vi...

the evaluate the diagnostic value of image guided fine needle aspiration (fna) in breast lesions, the cytologic results of 401 patients were studied. all patients had either unpalpable masses or lesions who were hardly possible to localize by palpation and fna was performed by single radiologist under ultrasound guide in all cases. the cytologic results were divided into four categories (inconc...

The cytotoxic activity of two pentacyclic triterpenoids (ursolic acid and alpha-amyrine) isolated from the methanolic extract of the aerial parts from Erica andevalensis, whose structures have been established on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence, has been assessed against three human cancer cell lines, TK-10 (renal adenocarcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) and UACC-62 (mela...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is mostly the disease of postmenopausal women but very young affected women are seen more than occasionally in developing countries. We reviewed our cases of very young breast cancer in order to help in better understanding of such cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of patients 25 years of age or less who had been admitted for breast cancer surgery in the Cancer...
