Animal models of carcinogenesis have contributed substan tially to our understanding of neoplastic and preneoplastic events. Typically, laboratory experiments seek specific infor mation on suspected carcinogenic agents and for that reason usually focus on one agent at a time. To test the suspect agent, an adequate yield of neoplastic lesions is desirable, usually several orders of magnitude gre...

introduction: few studies on benign soft tissue tumors of oral cavity have been conducted in an iranian population. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity in three central pathology centers of rasht, iran. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, all benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity, were retrieved from...

Intestinal microecology refers to the interaction between host and microorganisms in human intestinal tract, which is composed mainly of flora. microflora affects physiological pathological changes through metabolic activity interaction. Precancerous lesion liver a potential benign disease, may lead malignant transformation liver. It intermediate stage from transformation. Recent studies have s...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of cancer death in the world. The incidence rate (ASR) and age distribution of this disease differ between most of African-Middle-Eastern (AMAGE) and North America and Europe for many reasons. However, in all areas, "CRC" is considered as one of the most preventable cancers, because it might develop from variant processes like polyps and IB...

BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer can often be prevented by screening and may be curable if identified and treated in its early stages. However, 80% of new cases occur in less-developed countries where cervical cancer screening programmes are small-scale or non-existent. This is a human tragedy of great proportion, with many of those affected being young mothers. There is some evidence that cancerous...

background: endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy that has often proceeded by a premalignant phase. modern molecular and immune staining methods for precancerous lesions diagnosis have been expanded. one of the genetic alternations in the endometrial cancer carcinogenesis is the mutational activation of the k-ras oncogene. k-ras mutation has recognized to occur at an earl...

To assess the presence of Candida spp. in lesions of the oral cavity in a sample of patients with precancer or cancer of the mouth and evaluate the limitations and advantages of microbiological and histological methods, 103 subjects with precancerous or cancerous lesions and not treated were observed between 2007 and 2009. The presence of Candida in the lesions was analyzed by microbiological a...
