conclusions atypical irregular tumors should be considered as sos when the patient has received oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. a qualitative imaging modality diagnosis, such as with diffusion-weighted mri, is superior to a morphological diagnosis in focal sos. this imaging modality can prevent unnecessary operations. case presentation a 40-year-old woman with rectal cancer underwent high anter...

introduction: today, due to the broad spectrum of pediatric cancers are treated by the chemotherapy drugs, but these drugs have side effects and gastrointestinal toxicity is the most prevalent. one of the main roles of nurses is to better health through patient education and care for him. evidence-based nursing is a process during which the nurse can use the available research evidence, their c...

background: inherent toxicity of cytotoxic drugs is the basis for their potential adverse risks from occupational exposure to the nursing staff. in iran, chemotherapy regimens are prescribed and administered according to the world updated protocols. but little is done regarding the protective standards in this field. methods: an observational cross-sectional survey was conducted among nurses wh...

background:chemotherapy-induced neutropenia as a major toxicity of systemic chemotherapy is commonly associated with substantial mortality and morbidity, and thus identifying its determinants is necessary. this study was undertaken to identify main risk factors of severe neutropenia following adjuvant chemotherapy treatment in a community-based population of patients with cancer in semnan, iran...

In this paper a new mathematical model is developed for the dynamics between tumor cells, normal cells, immune cells, chemotherapy drug concentration and drug toxicity. Then, the theorem of Lyapunov stability is applied to design treatment strategies for drug protocols that ensure a desired rate of tumor cell kill and push the system to the area with smaller tumor cells. Using of this theorem a...
