background: geographic differences in the incidence of cancers may suggest unique genetic or environmental exposures that impact the risk of acquiring cancer. this research aims to determine the incidence rate and geographical distribution of common cancers among iranian children. methods: in this ecological study, we extracted data that pertained to the incidence rate of common cancers among c...

background: although several studies have investigated the association between ovarian cancer risk and nonisoflavone flavonoids intake, these findings are inconsistent. this systematic review of published epidemiological studies was conducted to summarize and clarify the evidence on the association between ovarian cancer incidence and nonisoflavone flavonoids intake. materials and methods: pubm...

to establish a comprehensive picture of the relationship between glutathione s-transferase omega 2 (gsto2; mim: 612314) gene n142d variant (rs. 156697) and breast cancer risk, the present meta-analysis was carried out. studies published up to july 2012 with information about gsto2 polymorphism and breast cancer risk were identified using several electronic databases. we identified 4 eligible st...

background: attempts for early detection of gastric cancer have recently focused on host's genetic susceptibility factors and gene-environment interactions. we have, herein, studied the association of mthfr c677t single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) and its interaction with helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, age and gender on the risk of gastric cancer among an iranian population. met...

background : although, family history of cancer is an important risk factor for upper gastrointestinal cancers development, but limited information is available on the upper gastrointestinal cancers associated with family history in iran. the purpose of this study was to define upper gastrointestinal cancers risk associated with family history of cancer. methods : this study was conducted as a ...

background : this study evaluated the role of family history of cancer and gynecologic factors in relation to the etiology of ovarian cancer in a low socioeconomic population in iran. methods : from 2007-2009 we conducted a screening program on women with insurance coverage provided by the imam khomeini relief foundation. a total of 26788 women participated in this study of whom 76 cases had ov...

  Abstract   Background: Due to the high incidence of breast cancer and the effect of its early   diagnosis on decreasing morbidity and mortality, we used the Gail model to study   breast cancer risk in Iranian women.   Methods: This study was done in a simple randomized way. Participants were 2000   Iranian women older than 35 years old. The questionnaire consisted of demographic   data such a...

background : the age standardized incidence rates of esophageal cancer in women and men in iran have the fifth and eighth ranks, respectively. due to the high incidence rate of esophageal cancer and the necessity of knowledge of its geographical distribution, the incidence of this cancer was mapped at province and county levels in the present study. methods: the study population of this empiric...
