BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with cancer. Cancer patient with thromboembolism have poorer prognosis. This study assessed the risk and mortality in pancreatic cancer patients who develop VTE. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed of 201 patients with pancreatic cancer. RESULTS VTE was observed in 58 (28.9%) patients, 37/58 had deep vein thro...

Abstract Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is a progressive debilitating syndrome that frequently complicates metabolic function in body vital organs and subsequently causes high mortality rate cancer patients. However, the underlying mechanisms functional consequences of dysfunction during CAC are not fully elucidated. Recently, we have developed preclinical model characterized by oocyte-specif...

Background: The incidence of pancreatic neoplasms in infants and children is 1.8 cases per 1000000. Three children’s most common primary are pancreatoblastoma, solid pseudopapillary neoplasm the pancreas, endocrine neoplasms. Solid pancreas a low-grade malignant tumor. presented with palpable mass (60%), followed by abdominal pain (33.3%). Although duodenal invasion frequently occurs patients c...

Introduction Two groups of high-risk individuals (HRI) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have been defined. 1) Individuals from familial cancer (FPC) kindreds and 2) with identified genetic syndromes (GS) due to a germline mutation. Screening HRI has proposed identify premalignant lesions early stage malignancy the aim improving outcomes. criteria formulated by number organis...

background: opticin, as a member of small leucine rich proteoglycans (slrps), mainly expressed in human eyes. it is also expressed in human brain, ligament, liver and skin, but at lower levels than the eyes. in the present study, expression of opticin was studied in a variety of human cancer cell lines. materials and methods: in this basic study, human cancer cell lines including, a-172 (brain ...

Background: Cancer as the second leading cause of death following cardiovascular diseases has always been a threat to human life and due to its peculiar nature and lack of a favorable treatment, it is considered as a research priority in all communities. Understanding the geographical distribution of the incidence of various tumors, constitutes the first step in health and treatment planning. T...

The accurate pancreas segmentation process is essential in the early detection of pancreatic cancer. situated abdominal cavity human body. contains pancreas, liver, spleen, kidney, and adrenal glands. Sharp smooth from this a challenging tedious job medical image investigation. Top-down approaches like Novel Modified K-means Fuzzy clustering algorithm (NMKFCM), Scale Invariant Feature Transform...
