introductio: hematopoietic stem cell transplants (hsct) are considered as treatment options for patients with solid tumors. transplant numbers have changed significantly over the last decade. we have done autologous and allogeneic hsct for treatment of solid tumor patients in our center. methods: in order to show the transplant effect on solid tumor treatment, we collected data from 71 patients...

The use of multiparametric MRI has been hastened under expanding, novel indications for its in the diagnostic and management pathway men with prostate cancer. This helped drive a large body literature describing evolving role over last decade. Despite this, cancer remains only solid organ malignancy routinely diagnosed random sampling. Herein, we summarize components interpretation, present cri...

BACKGROUND Programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) is a novel tumor suppressor protein involved in programmed cell death. Its association with cancer progression has been observed in multiple tumor models, but evidence supporting its association with solid tumors in humans remains controversial. This study aimed to determine the clinical significance and prognostic value of PDCD4 in solid tumor...

Radiation exposure is related to risk of numerous types of cancer, but relatively little is known about its effect on risk of multiple primary cancers. Using follow-up data through 2002 from 77,752 Japanese atomic bomb survivors, we identified 14,048 participants diagnosed with a first primary cancer, of whom 1,088 were diagnosed with a second primary cancer. Relationships between radiation exp...

background:chemotherapy-induced neutropenia as a major toxicity of systemic chemotherapy is commonly associated with substantial mortality and morbidity, and thus identifying its determinants is necessary. this study was undertaken to identify main risk factors of severe neutropenia following adjuvant chemotherapy treatment in a community-based population of patients with cancer in semnan, iran...

Recently released data on cancer incidence in Japanese atomic bomb survivors are analyzed using a variety of relative risk models that take account of errors in estimates of dose to assess the dose response at low doses. If a relative risk model with a threshold (the dose response is assumed linear above the threshold) is fitted to solid cancer data, a threshold of more than about 0.2 Sv is inc...

Cancer arises from mutations accruing within cancer cells, but the tumor microenvironment (TME) is believed to be a major, often neglected, factor involved in therapy resistance and disease progression. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are prominent key components of TME most types solid tumors. Extensive research over past decade revealed their ability modulate metastasis, angiogenesis, me...

T-cell-based therapies have emerged as one of the most clinically effective ways to target solid and non-solid tumors. HER2 is responsible for the oncogenesis and treatment resistance of several human solid tumors. As a member of the HER family of tyrosine kinase receptors, its over-activity confers unfavorable clinical outcome. Targeted therapies directed at this receptor have achieved respons...
