abstract   background: due to the high incidence of breast cancer and the effect of its early diagnosis on decreasing morbidity and mortality, we used the gail model to study breast cancer risk in iranian women.   methods: this study was done in a simple randomized way. participants were 2000 iranian women older than 35 years old. the questionnaire consisted of demographic data such as age, rac...

background: potential association of leptin (lep) gene polymorphisms has been suggested in the processes leading to breast cancer initiation and progression. we investigated whether genetic variations in the lep -2548g/a gene are associated with risk of breast cancer. methods: this case-control study consisted of 100 breast cancer cases and 100 control subjects without breast cancer that matche...

background & aim: evaluation of prevalence of risk factors for breast cancer in different regions of iran and identification of their significant effect on this disease can promote the prevention and reduction of breast cancer incidence. therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, demographic characteristics, and frequency of the risk factors of breast cancer during 10 years. method...

conclusions our study revealed that patients with the diagnosis of breast cancer have greater bpe in comparison with control group. the results may be indicative for higher probability of developing breast cancer in patients with higher bpe. therefore, ce-mri could be a useful tool for breast cancer risk assessment. objectives background parenchymal enhancement (bpe) on contrast-enhanced magnet...

background: not only the expand development of knowledge for reducing risk factors, but also the improvement in early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and socioeconomic inequalities could affect cancer incidence, diagnosis stage, and mortality. the aim of this study was investigation the relationships between family levels of socioeconomic status and distribution of breast cancer risk factors...

background: oral mucositis (om) remains the most common side effect of chemotherapy affects negatively on patients' quality of life. subjects and methods : convenience samples of patients who received chemotherapy were followed from first or second cycle of chemotherapy until om occurrence. we reviewed 75 female patients with breast cancer who received chemotherapy with mean age (47.2 sd ± 8.62...

Introduction: Gail model is one of the most important models for the evaluation of breast cancer risk between US white females. According to genetic diversity, there is a possibility of affecting the efficiency of the Gail model in risk assessment of breast cancer among Iranian populations. In this study, the Gail model efficiency in specifying the risk of breast cancer in Iranian population wa...

background the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer are high among filipino women. the lack of knowledge on preventive behavior and early detection related to breast cancer is considered a reason. conclusions women who were aware of risk factors for breast cancer possessed a higher education level and had knowledge of the association of risk factors with preventive behaviors and early...

breast cancer within incident of one million new cases each year has become one of the most common malignancies and leading cause of death among females. this disease is comprised of about 18% of women cancers. the availability of early detection and improved treatments may decrease the mortality rates which reflected in the united states and many other western countries. breast cancer in over ...
