چکیده

Efficient predictors of the response to chemotherapy is an important issue because such predictors would make it possible to give the patients the most appropriate chemotherapy regimen. DNA microarrays appear to be of high interest for the design of such predictors. In this article we propose bayesian classifiers taking as input the expression levels of DNA probes, and a ‘filtering’ method for DNA probes selection.

Secretory clusterin (sCLU) overexpression is associated with resistance to preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy in primary breast cancer.

OBJECTIVES Preoperative chemotherapy is often used in patients with locally advanced breast cancer. However, commonly used clinical and pathological parameters are poor predictors of response to this type of therapy. The secreted form of the CLU protein (sCLU) is a glycosylated protein of 76-80 kDa. It has become increasingly clear that in most cells sCLU is a stress-associated cytoprotective p...

Diagnosis of Breast Cancer Subtypes using the Selection of Effective Genes from Microarray Data

Introduction: Early diagnosis of breast cancer and the identification of effective genes are important issues in the treatment and survival of the patients. Gene expression data obtained using DNA microarray in combination with machine learning algorithms can provide new and intelligent methods for diagnosis of breast cancer. Methods: Data on the expression of 9216 genes from 84 patients across...

بررسی رابطه علت و معلولی متغیرهای مرتبط با سرطان پستان با استفاده از شبکه‌های بیزی

Background and Objectives: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Iran. It can be prevented by rapid diagnosis of the disease. Thus, it is necessary to determine the causal relationships between variables related to breast cancer. Bayesian network is a data mining tool that shows the causal relationship between different variables. In this paper, a Bayesian network was applied to find causa...

Feature selection using genetic algorithm for breast cancer diagnosis: experiment on three different datasets

Objective(s): This study addresses feature selection for breast cancer diagnosis. The present process uses a wrapper approach using GA-based on feature selection and PS-classifier. The results of experiment show that the proposed model is comparable to the other models on Wisconsin breast cancer datasets. Materials and Methods: To evaluate effectiveness of proposed feature selection method, we ...

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CHEMORADIATION AND NEOADJUV ANT CHEMOTHERAPY BEFORE RADICAL HYSTERECTOMY IN STAGE m - 1m BULKY CERVICAL CANCER AND WITH TUMOR DIAMETER GREATER THAN 4 CM

Tumor size seems to be a determinant in the prognosis of early cervical cancer. Patients with tumor size greater than 4 cm (bulky) in diameter have worse outcome.' The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of preoperative combined chemoradiation and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NArC) programs followed by radical hysterectomy in stage Ib - lIb bulky cervical cancer. From September ...
