breast cancer continues to be a significant public health problem in the world. early detection is the key for improving breast cancer prognosis. in this way, magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is emerging as a powerful tool for the detection of breast cancer. breast mri presently has two major challenges. first, its specificity is relatively poor, and it detects many false positives (fps). secon...

background: breast cancer is third order malignancy in women among other malignancies.   various studies showed that incidence of breast cancer can be lower down by early detection of breast cancer. mammographic screening is considered more effective modality in detecting early stage breast cancer in women who are at elevated risk for breast cancer. the aim of this study is to report the result...

conclusions the best balance between detection rate of prostate cancer and infectious complications of biopsies achieved in twelve-core biopsy protocol. twelve-core biopsy enhances the rate of prostate cancer detection with minimum adverse effects. patients and materials transrectal ultrasonography (trus) guided biopsy was performed in 180 patients suspicious for prostate cancer due to either a...

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...

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 ...

breast cancer is characterized by a distinct metastatic pattern involving the regional lymph nodes, bone marrow, lung and liver. tumour cell migration and metastasis share many similarities with leukocyte trafficking, which is critically regulated by chemokines and their receptors. detection of breast cancer and its metastasis at the earliest stage is important for the management and prediction...

computer aided pulmonary nodule detection has been among major research topics lately to help for early treatment of lung cancer which is the most lethal kind of cancer worldwide.some evidence suggests that periodic screening tests with the ct of patients will help in reducing the mortality rate caused by the lung cancer. acomplete and accurate computer aided diagnosis (cad) system for detectio...
