Background: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide with an annual mortality rate of more than 1.3 million worldwide. We aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in west of Iran. Methods: 64 patients with NSCLC who referred to our clinic were analyzed. Sex, age, histopathology, location of the tumor, treatment,...

introduction: growth, proliferation, survival, and differentiation are the prominent characteristics of cells, which are affected by cancer. epidermal growth factor receptor (egfr) plays a pivotal role in the effective control of these features. given the significance of egfr signaling pathway in non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc), egfr expression is influential on these cell characteristics. i...

background: boron neutron capture therapy (bnct) is a radiotherapy that combines biological targeting and high linear energy transfer. a potential therapeutic approach for non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc) is considered. however, dose in lung tumor is not homogeneous, and it will reduce the effect of bnct treatment. in order to improve the dose distribution of bnct, the multi-field irradiation...

introduction the diagnosis and separation of cancerous tumors in medical images require accuracy, experience, and time, and it has always posed itself as a major challenge to the radiologists and physicians. materials and methods we received 290 medical images composed of 120 mammographic images, ljpeg format, scanned in gray-scale with 50 microns size, 110 mri images including of t1-wighted, t...

Introduction: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is recommended to treat the glioblastoma tumor. It is well known that neuron beams are more effective treatment than photon beams to treat hypoxia tumors due to interaction of neutron with nucleus and production of heavy particles such as 7Li and alpha particle. In this study to evaluate the suitability of BNCT for treating of ...
