background: the aim of this study was to detect prognostic factors in recurrent breast cancer metastasis. materials and methods: th is retrospective cohort study employed data from 996 breast cancer patients of isfahan seyed-o-shohada research center from 1998 to 2010. stratifi ed cox proportional hazards model, marginal approach, was used to evaluate the prognostic value of estrogen receptor, ...

Objective(s): The growing trend of research demonstrates that dynamic expression of two metastasis repressor classes (metastasis suppressor genes and anti-metastatic miRNA) has a close relationship with tumor invasion and metastasis. Using different strategies, it was revealed that cellular levels of miR-31 and Breast cancer Metastasis Suppressor1 (BRMS1) protein, whic...

abstract:   introduction: colorectal cancer (crc) is one of the most common cancers in the world. during the past decades, survival of colorectal cancer patients has improved worldwide, however, it is not clear what factors have contributed to this development. this study was designed to evaluate the prognostic impact of a wide spectrum of pathologic parameters on survival rate in patients with...

Objective(s):MiRNAs have been proposed to be key regulators of tumorigenesis, progression and metastasis. However, their effect and prognostic value in gastric cancer is still poorly known. Materials and Methods: Gastric cancer cell lines were cultured. Tissue samples obtained from 36 gastric cancer patients were used for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. The tissue microarrays (T...

Abstract Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, and most patients with metastases from solid tumors have historically been considered incurable. Here, we discuss evolution our understanding oligometastatic state an emphasis on view that cancer represents a spectrum disease. We highlight several recently published prospective clinical trials demonstrating improvement...

cutaneous metastases of rectal carcinoma is a rare event. it occurs in fewer than 4% of all patients with rectal cancer. when present, it typically signifies a disseminated disease with a poor prognosis. early detection and proper diagnosis of metastatic rectal cancer can significantly alter treatment and prognosis. we report a 70-year-old male who underwent rectal resection with permanent colo...

Abstract Introduction: Estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) breast cancer is a subgroup of breast tumors that is more likely to respond to hormone therapy. ER-positive and ER- negative breast cancers tend to show different patterns of metastasis because of different signaling cascade and genes that are activated by estrogen response. Genetic factors can contribute to high rates of metastas...
