Endometrial cancer is the most common invasive cancer of the female genital tract, with an increasing incidence rate. Abnormal uterine bleeding is the presenting symptom in 75-90% of cases [1, 2]. The majority of patients with endometrial cancer are diagnosed with no evidence of extrauterine spread (70-80% stage I), which gives patients better prognosis [1, 3]. In more advanced disease the site...

In this section we introduce shortly the two basic CM considered in this paper. The running example of a FIFO buffer is used here to illustrate their modelling capabilities. The buffer we consider is defined as a set of independent successive cells (cell1, ... , celln). Write (W) and read (R) operations are available. The Write operation, logically, always put a value in the empty cell 'cell1' ...

Prostate cancer (PC) is a 2nd leading cause of death in the USA among men. We aim to investigate incidence, characteristics, and risk factors for PC patients diagnosed with Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using Cerner Health Facts, national longitudinal database representing approximately 69 million patients. All male over 40 years age IBD were included our analysis. Our primary endpoint was d...

background: chronic inflammation and dys-regulation of the immune system mechanisms are now well established as primary triggers of gastric cancer and peptic ulcer disease. galectin-9 (gal-9) is a member of the galectin family and known as an inducer of cell aggregation, adhesion and apoptosis. gal-9 interaction with its main ligand t-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain protein-3 (tim-3) leads...

background : biomarkers accepted for clinical use in breast cancer have low sensitivity and specificity. thus, there is a need for new markers to assist in the diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up of breast cancer patients. this study aims to investigate the diagnostic, prognostic and follow-up role of serum bcl-2, bax and p53 proteins in breast cancer patients in comparison with those of serum c...
