Colorectal cancer remains one of the major cancer- related deaths despite progress in the treatment during past decades. Detection of disease at earlier stages reduces its mortality. The aim of current study was to investigate expression of Cytokeratin 19 (CK19), Cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and Guanylyl Cyclase C (GCC) mRNA in peripheral blood of non- metastatic colorectal cancer patients which may r...

Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women.  Early detection of breast cancer is the key to reducing the associated mortality rate. The presence of microcalcifications clusters (MCCs) is one of the earliest signs of breast cancer. Due to poor imaging contrast of mammograms and noise contamination, radiologists may overlook some diagnostic signs, specially t...

nanotechnology has slowly but steadily revolutionized the diagnosis, imaging and treatment of cancer. detecting cancer at earliest stages, locating the tumor at different areas in the body and specific delivery of the drugs to malignant cells including surgically inaccessible tumors are the core areas of medical and pharmaceutical research across the world. in this endeavour, nanodevices have e...

Circulating microRNAs have been recognized as promising biomarkers for the detection of lung cancer. The objective of this study was to evaluate miR-10b, miR-1 and, miR-30a in the plasma samples of lung cancer patients to confirm any possible relevance in the early detection of lung cancer. Plasma samples from 47 non-small-cell lung cancer patients and 41 cancer-free subjects were evaluated for...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to analyze detection rates and effectiveness of 18f-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (fdg-pet) cancer screening program for prostate cancer in japan, which is defined as a cancer-screening program for subjects without known cancer. it contains fdg-pet aimed at detection of cancer at an early stage with or without additional screening tests ...

results 89.9 % of dentists managed to support their patients in their efforts to stop smoking, though only 39% believed in their own capacity to assist with tobacco use cessation. dentists reported that 35.4% of their patients aged 40+ had undergone screening for oral cancer during their first visit, whereas 11.6% received regular check-up on a periodic basis. those prone to cancer constituted ...

skin cancer has been the most usual and illustrates 50% of all new cancers detected each year. if they detected at an early stage, treatment can become simple and economically. accurate skin lesion segmentation is important in automated early skin cancer detection and diagnosis systems. the aim of this study is to provide an effective approach to detect the skin lesion border on a purposed imag...

objective: the incidence of breast cancer is approximately one million which makes this cancer one of the most common among women worldwide. breast cancer comprises 7% of the total death rate caused by cancers. several strategies that use tumor-associated antigen (taa) vaccination and early detection of breast cancer are clinically being developed. breast cancer is caused by increased over expr...

abstract breast cancer is one of the major health problems of the eastern world. regardless of the survival rate improvement with progression in screening and adjuvant systemic therapies, still one – third of the patients with primary breast cancer have recurrence of micro metastasis after 10 years.  it is important to discover a reliable biomarker for detection of breast cancer. the underlying...
