background: breast cancer incidence has increased rapidly inkuwait, but there haven’t been any studies investigating the recognized risk factors of breast cancer inkuwait. the aim of the study was to investigate breast cancer risk factors among women inkuwait.   methods: a case-control study was conducted in kuwait from may 2003 to march 2004 using a questionnaire including socio-demographic da...

BACKGROUND Telomere dysfunction is involved in the development of breast cancer and very short telomeres are frequent genetic alterations in breast tumors. However, the influence of telomere lengths of specific chromosomal arms on the breast cancer risk is unknown. METHODS We conducted a case-control study of breast cancer to examine the associations of the telomere length on chromosome 9 sho...

Background: Breast cancer is known as the most widely recognized dangerous tumors; therefore, the most common reason for mortality among all instances of harmful neoplastic illness in females. This is because the lack of specific signs and symptoms at the early stage and at the aggressive nature. Currently, breast cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy has not been effe...

female cancer, especially breast and gynecologic cancers are considered multistage disease, highly influenced by risk and protective factors and/or screening preventive modalities. consequences of all these factors result in the trend of change over time.in this comparative study, based on data of national cancer registry of iran 2004 published by iranian ministry of health, age - standard inci...

Detection of bacteriuria Detection of cancer (e.g., breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer and cancer of the pleura, pancreatic cancer; not an all-inclusive list) Diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders Diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease Diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis Diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease Differential di...

A typical classification problem involves building a model to correctly segregate instances of two or more classes. Such a model exhibits differential prediction with respect to given data subsets when its performance is significantly different over these subsets. Driven by a mammography application, we aim at learning rules that predict breast cancer stage while maximizing differential predict...

background: lactating adenoma is a benign breast mass related to physiological changes during pregnancy and increased estrogen level. fibroadenoma and breast cancer should be considered in the differential diagnosis of this lesion. the purpose of this study was to report cases of lactating adenoma in breast cancer research center (bcrc) and review the relevant literature. methods: all patients ...

background: delivering the maximum dose to tumor while achieving the minimum dose delivery to normal tissue; is the most important goal in external radiotherapy. diode in vivo dosimetry is widely considered to be an important tool for quality improvement of patient care in external radiotherapy. uncertainty in dose delivery should fall within 5% of the prescribed dose as recommended by internat...

Detecting breast cancer at early stages can be challenging. Traditional mammography and tissue microarray that have been studied for early breast cancer detection and prediction have many drawbacks. Therefore, there is a need for more reliable diagnostic tools for early detection of breast cancer due to a number of factors and challenges. In the paper, we presented a five-marker panel approach ...

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women around the world. Among the various hormonal types of breast cancer, those that are estrogen receptor (ER) positive account for the majority. Among the estrogen related receptors, estrogen related receptor α is known to have a potential role in breast cancer and is one of the therapeutic target. Hence, prediction of novel ligands int...
