background: thromboembolism is the most important complication of cancers.the aim of this study was to determine d-dimer levels in benign and malignant tumors of the uterus, ovary and cervix. subjects and methods: this was a cross sectional study and it was conducted on 90 female patients referred to imam khomeini and arash hospitals because of uterine, cervical and ovarian tumors in 2013-2014....

the gastrointestinal stromal tumor (gist) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of gastrointestinal (gi) tract. this tumor has tendency to liver metastasis and peritoneal recurrence, however; the primarily lymph node involvement or metastasis is rare. here we reported a 17-years-old girl with multifocal gastric gist and multiple lymph node involvement at presentation and recurrence in celiac lymph nodes....

conclusions the agnor technique can be used to diagnose salivary gland tumors. results the chi-square test showed significant differences between tumor types and the numbers of agnors (p = 0.000) and between tumor types and areas of agnors (p = 0.000). objectives the purpose of this study was to determine the numbers and mean areas of the agnor dots in the 3 most common salivary gland tumors. m...

background:estrogens play a substantial role in the proliferation, progression and treatment of breast cancer by binding with two estrogen receptors, alpha and beta (erα and erβ). resistance to endocrine therapy is a major problem in the treatment of breast cancers and, in some cases, may be related to loss of er gene expression. we have already showed that erα methylation occurs in high freque...

introduction uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign solid tumors of the female pelvis. retroperitoneal myomas are extremely rare and usually malignant with the common location being in the pelvis. case presentation our case involved a woman who was suffering from dysparonia and radiculating right pelvic pain. the pelvic examination revealed a palpable tender mass of about 3-4 cm in size ...

Historically, molecular imaging of somatostatin receptor (SSTR) expression in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET) was performed using SSTR scintigraphy (SRS). Sustained advances medical have led to its gradual replacement positron-emission tomography (SSTR-PET). The higher sensitivity comparison SRS on the one hand and conventional cross-sectional imaging, other hand, enables more accurat...

The possibility of having experimental models of brain tumors allows for testing therapies applicable to human brain tumors. They can be induced by viruses, chemicals or radiation. Radiation-induced brain tumors have seldom been used, but diverse virus groups have been used to induce brain tumors. Among DNA viruses, both adenoviruses and papovaviruses have been shown to induce brain tumors in a...
