background: breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women. it is estimated that 1 in 10 women worldwide is affected by breast cancer during their lifetime. in 5 to 10% of breast cancer patients, the disease results from a hereditary predisposition, which can be attributable to mutations in either of two tumor suppressor genes, brca1 and brca2 to a large extent. brca2 6174delt mutation...

Cancer screening involves early detection coupled with early intervention. For cancer screening to reduce cancer mortality, the cancer must be detected sufficiently early and the early intervention must be effective. For cancer screening to minimize harms, the cancers detected early should, to the extent possible, exclude cancers that would not cause medical problems in a person’s lifetime (a p...

Abstract Mortality from colorectal cancer is reduced through screening and early detection; moreover, removal of neoplastic lesions can reduce incidence. While understanding the risk factors, pathogenesis, precursor has advanced, cause recent increase in among young adults largely unknown. Multiple invasive, semi- non-invasive modalities have emerged over past decade. The current emphasis on qu...

aim : the aim of this study was to evaluate the mortality rates and trends from gastrointestinal (gi) cancer in iranian population from 1995 to 2003. background : cancer is the third most common cause of death in iran. gastrointestinal cancer is the most important causes of mortality due to cancer. the cancer mortality data is important to monitor the effects of screening program, earlier diagn...

conclusions results showed that whereas knowledge by itself cannot guarantee men’s participation in prostate cancer screenings, perceived barriers can play an important role in discouraging men from cancer screening participation. therefore, designing programs to address these barriers is very important. results the most common barriers to screening for prostate cancer were a lack of knowledge ...

Background: Pharmacogenomics is the study of genetic variations among individuals to predict the probability that a patient will respond to single or multidrug chemotherapy. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide. Treatment of breast cancer by application of biological rationales gives us the ability to match the correct pharmacology to individual tumour genetic p...

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women. Screening mammography is a low‑dose X‑ray examination of breasts, which is conducted to detect breast cancer at early stages when the cancerous tumor is too small to be felt as a lump. Screening mammography is conducted for women with no symptoms of breast cancer, for early detection of cancer when the cancer is most treatable an...
