Background and Aim: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is considered to be the most common malignancy in humans and occurs primarily in the skin especially in the head and neck region. Considering the high recurrence rate of the tumor, finding a marker for prediction of recurrence is very important. Cancer stem cells are a small subpopulation in the tumors that are related to tumorigenesis and recurren...

background and objective: in this study, we explored expression rate, some biomarkers affecting the prognosis of the breast carcinoma, and the relationship between these markers and clinicopathologic features of the disease as well as the relationship between each of these markers through a tissue array technique. materials and methods: this study was an observational and cross-sectional study....

Reduce cost of care An obvious goal is to enhance patient care. We have to remember that tumor markers are not treatments and that the relevance of tumor markers for particular cancers are only as good as the treatments allow them to be. The other speakers have made that observation also. So how can tumor markers enhance patient care? Hopefull~ they can extend survival time and improve the qual...

background: b-cell non-hodgkin’s lymphoma (nhl) is a common malignancy of lymphoid tissues. different types of nhl show various behaviors, prognoses, and responses to treatment. evaluation of disease activity in nhl can be helpful in managing and even increasing the patient’s survey. methods and results: in total, 121 patients (76 males and 45 females), and their age range were 18-53 years, wer...

The granulosa cell tumor is the most common malignant functioning tumor of the ovary. When functional, granulosa tumor almost always are estrogenic although rare tumors are androgenic. Progesterone producing by these tumors has only been reported twice. We report a case of granulosa cell tumor in a 7 years old girl with precocious puberty who represent the first case of progesterone producing b...

conclusions expression of armc3 in tumor samples and normal adjacent tissue is very important. the expression of this gene in tumor-adjacent tissue may be associated with the stage of cancer; it may be that these tissues are affected by epigenetic and oncogenic changes of breast cancer. accordingly, aberrant expression of armc3 in tumor samples may be an attractive candidate for use as a tumor ...
