Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER 2) positive breast cancers represent a highly aggressive cancer subtype and are associated witha worse prognosis. They tend to be more with lower survival rates but better prognosis than the triple-negative subtype.

Background and Aim: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant and invasive tumor of the brain. The relation between prognosis and survival of GBM patients with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) expression is challenging. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the prognosis and survival of patients with GBM and its relationship with EGFR expression. Materials and Methods: This single...

 Habitual dislocation of the hip (HDH) in children is a rare entity and can be a causative factor for popping or snapping hip which is a common problem in children with good prognosis. We report a case of HDH in a 9 year old girl who was suffering from frequent snapping hip at night, its course and treatment process. 

background: diabetes is a well-known risk factor for acute ischemic stroke (ais). some recent studies point to hemoglobin a1c (hba1c) may have prognostic value in nondiabetic and diabetic patients with ischemic stroke (is). the aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of hba1c on mortality and morbidity in ais patients with and without diabetic. methods: in this prospective observ...

background and aims: immunohistochemical tests are one of the most important tests, which are under study to determine the prognosis of the cancers such as transitional cell carcinoma. by the time, flexible cystoscopy and urine cytology are the routine tests for following up the patients with transitional cell carcinoma, which are both operator dependent. on the other hand, cystoscopy is an inv...

AIM Physical activity offers a variety of health benefits to cancer survivors, both during and post-treatment. The aim here is to review: the preferences of cancer survivors regarding exercise counselling and participation in a physical activity programme; adherence rates among cancer survivors to physical activity programmes; and predictors of adherence to exercise training. METHODS Two elec...

This paper uses a short 'Christmas fairy-story for oncologists' sent by Christopher Andrewes with a 1935 letter to Peyton Rous as the centrepiece of a reflection on the state of knowledge and speculation about the viral aetiology of cancer in the 1930s. Although explicitly not intended for public circulation at the time, the fairy-story merits publication for its significance in the history of ...

The incidence of oral cancer is high for those of Indian ethnic origin in Malaysia. Various clinical and pathological data are usually used in oral cancer prognosis. However, due to time, cost and tissue limitations, the number of prognosis variables need to be reduced. In this research, we demonstrated the use of feature selection methods to select a subset of variables that is highly predicti...

Abstract Introduction TCF21 is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcriptor factor family, being critical for embryogenesis heart. It regulates epicardium-derived cells differentiation into smooth muscle (SMC) and fibroblast lineages. The biological roles in epicardial fate determination progression atherosclerosis remains controversial issue. Purpose Investigate impact rs12190287...
