Secondary Metabolites of Soil Actinomycetes, UTMC 676 and 919, Induces Apoptosis in Human Non‑Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cell Line

The stated goal of the APOCP/APJCP is to promote an increased awareness in all areas of cancer prevention and stimulate practical intervention approaches. Whether this should be targeted solely through the publication of the APJCP or also through activities in institutions independently capable of research has yet to be decided by the membership. This will in fact be debated at the forthcoming ...

BACKGROUND In more and more countries, a specific pain education curriculum is provided to instruct pain physicians. However, there is little literature on pain education and in particularly how to evaluate their knowledge. One of the modules interesting to assess is the use of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) by pain physicians. OBJECTIVES The aim was to investigate if a case vignette is ...

Background: According to the results of epidemiological studies, human beings from various races, colors, cultural, educational and economic backgrounds are affected by cancer worldwide, thereby encouraging researchers to conduct extensive studies in this regard. We aimed to compare the components of quality of life and adjustment in both cancer-stricken and healthy children. Materials and Meth...

The purpose of this review is to give a brief background to enable the judicious use of widely performed serum cancer markers. The markers could be product of cancerous cell or as response to cancer. They are usually proteins, which are mainly found in blood or urine. These markers may be employed to predict primary or secondary tumor risk. Sometimes, non-cancerous conditions can also cause ele...

introduction today, there is a growing interest in the use of hadrontherapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique. hadrontherapy is considered a promising tool for cancer treatment, given its high radiobiological effectiveness and high accuracy of dose deposition due to the physical properties of hadrons. however, new radiation modalities of dose delivery and on-line beam monitoring play crucia...

PURPOSE To compare the risk of secondary cancer from scattered and leakage doses following intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) and tomotherapy (TOMO) in patients with lung cancer. METHODS IMRT, VMAT and TOMO were planned for five lung cancer patients. Organ equivalent doses (OEDs) are estimated from the measured corresponding secondary doses during irradiati...

OBJECTIVE Administrative claims data offer an alternative to chart abstraction to assess ovarian cancer recurrence, treatment and outcomes. Such analyses have been hindered by lack of valid recurrence and treatment algorithms. In this study, we sought to develop claims-based algorithms to identify ovarian cancer recurrence and secondary debulking surgery, and to validate them against the gold-s...
