Blood-based early detection of breast cancer has recently gained novel momentum, as liquid biopsy diagnostics is a fast emerging field. In this study, we aimed to identify secreted proteins which are up-regulated both in tumour tissue and serum samples of breast cancer patients compared to normal tissue and sera. Based on two independent tissue cohorts (n = 75 and n = 229) and one serum cohort ...

female cancer, especially breast and gynecologic cancers are considered multistage disease, highly influenced by risk and protective factors and/or screening preventive modalities. consequences of all these factors result in the trend of change over time.in this comparative study, based on data of national cancer registry of iran 2004 published by iranian ministry of health, age - standard inci...

While male breast cancer (MBC) consists only 1% of all breast cancers in the United States, approximately 2000 men are diagnosed annually and the incidence seems to be slowly increasing. About 50% of men have axillary nodal metastasis at the time of diagnosis. A mean delay of 6 to 10 months occurs in the diagnosis of MBC, which leads to the progression of the disease before presentation. More t...

PURPOSE The roles of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as predictive and prognostic factors, as well as key mediators in the metastatic cascade, have been investigated. This study aimed to validate a method to quantify CTCs in peripheral blood using a real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for cytokeratin (CK)-19 and to evaluate the utility of this assay in detect...

background: breast cancer remains the most common malignancy in women worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality . mammography is as the most accurate method for early detection of breast cancer. despite evidence that regular mammography screening can reduce breast cancer mortality; many women fail to receive mammography. this study aimed to determine the factors affecting m...

background: lactating adenoma is a benign breast mass related to physiological changes during pregnancy and increased estrogen level. fibroadenoma and breast cancer should be considered in the differential diagnosis of this lesion. the purpose of this study was to report cases of lactating adenoma in breast cancer research center (bcrc) and review the relevant literature. methods: all patients ...

Detection of bacteriuria Detection of cancer (e.g., breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer and cancer of the pleura, pancreatic cancer; not an all-inclusive list) Diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders Diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease Diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis Diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease Differential di...

BACKGROUND Mammographic screening has led to a proportional shift toward earlier-stage breast cancers at presentation. We assessed whether the method of detection provides prognostic information above and beyond standard prognostic factors and investigated the accuracy of predicted overall and breast cancer-specific survival by the computer tool Adjuvant! among patients with screen-detected, in...
