We report the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with macroscopic haematuria. The patient was diagnosed with high-grade urothelial carcinom...

the aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract of leaves of leptadenia reticulata leaves (lelr) against dalton’s ascitic lymphoma (dal) in swiss albino mice. dal cells were injected intraperitoneally (106 cells/mouse) to the mice. two days after cells injection the animals were treated with 200 mg/kg of lelr for 8 days. five-fluorouracil (20 mg/kg) was used as refer...

the aim of this study was to evaluate antitumour activity of the roots of hibiscus tiliaceus linn. against dalton’s ascitic lymphoma (dal) in swiss albino mice. a significant enhancement of mean survival time (mst) of h. tiliaceus treated tumour bearing mice was found with respect to control group. h. tiliaceus treatment was found to enhance peritoneal cell counts. when these h. tiliaceus treat...

objective: cd44+/cd24-/low breast cancer cells have tumour-initiating properties with stem cell-like features. breast cancer gene 1 (brca1) is a tumour suppressor gene that plays a crucial role in dna repair and maintenance of chromosome stability. the clinicopathological features of breast cancer in brca1 mutation carriers suggest that brca1 may function as a stem-cell regulator. materials and...
