objective: to assess the level of awareness on breast cancer among women of reproductive age. materials and methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in opd of dhaka medical college hospital among the 175 respondents by face to face interview using pretested semi structured questionnaire. results: one forth (23%) aged 21-25 years, mostly muslim (86.3%), housewives (72.57%), had...

BACKGROUND An evidence-based approach is needed to identify women with breast symptoms who are most likely to have breast cancer so that timely and appropriate referral can take place. AIM To report the development and validation of a clinical prediction rule for the diagnosis of breast cancer. DESIGN AND SETTING Cohort study with two prospective groups of women: those presenting to a sympt...

INTRODUCTION Known prediction models for breast cancer can potentially by improved by the addition of mammographic density and common genetic variants identified in genome-wide associations studies known to be associated with risk of the disease. We evaluated the benefit of including mammographic density and the cumulative effect of genetic variants in breast cancer risk prediction among women ...

Breast density, as assessed by mammography, reflects breast tissue composition. Breast epithelium and stroma attenuate x-rays more than fat and thus appear light on mammograms while fat appears dark. In this review, we provide an overview of selected areas of current knowledge about the relationship between breast density and susceptibility to breast cancer. We review the evidence that breast d...

background: breast cancer is third order malignancy in women among other malignancies.   various studies showed that incidence of breast cancer can be lower down by early detection of breast cancer. mammographic screening is considered more effective modality in detecting early stage breast cancer in women who are at elevated risk for breast cancer. the aim of this study is to report the result...

In Morocco, breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women and a major public health problem. Several Moroccan studies have focused on studying this disease, but more are needed, especially at the genetic and molecular levels. It is therefore interesting to establish the genetic and molecular profile of Moroccan patients with breast cancer. In this paper, we will highlight some pertinent h...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the prognostic effect of log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) and develop a nomogram for survival prediction in breast cancer patients at the time of surgery. RESULTS LODDS was an independent risk factor for cancer-related death in breast cancer (hazard ratio: 1.582, 95%CI: 1.190-2.104). Menopausal status, tumor size, pathological lymph node staging, estrogen recept...

due to the high incidence of deaths from breast cancer, high cost of treatment and limited resources, the need to formulate and implement effective programs in reducing the burden of disease is obvious. care, control and creation of cancer information system having an infrastructure from collection of minimum data sets (mds) are the top priorities of research in iran's ministry of health.this i...

objectives: ziziphus jujube (jujube) plant has exhibited numerous medicinal and pharmacological properties including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. this study was carried out to investigate its anti-cancer and pro-apoptotic abilities in human cervical and breast cancer cells in vitro. materials and methods: the cervical ov2008 and breast mcf-7 cancer cells were incubated with differ...
