Background and Objectives: Evidence indicate relationships between the sunlight exposure, vitamin D status and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) risk. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms have been linked to metabolic changes in insulin resistance and various cancers. The purpose of this study is to investigate relationships between the sunlight exposure and the NMSC risk. Furthermore, relation...

Background: Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin (LMWH) is recommended as the first-line treatment in patients with active cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE), but many patients prefer to take oral anticoagulants and non-injectable forms with more reasonable price. Venous thromboembolism is a very common comorbidity in patients with cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effic...

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...

conclusions salivary free and total sialic acid, and total protein were higher in the paan consumers compared to non-consumers. due to the carcinogenic effect of smokeless tobacco, measurement of these parameters in saliva may be useful in early detection of oral cancer. results the concentration of salivary free sialic acid (23.21 ± 18.98 mg/l) was significantly increased in paan consumers. th...

background: triple-negative breast cancers (tnbc) have a more aggressive course and are associated with poorer prognosis in comparison with other subtypes of breast cancer. one of the most common subtypes of tnbc is basal-like. the aim of this study was to investigate clinicopathological characteristics and clinical course of tnbc in iranian women and compare them with other studies. subjects a...

this systematic review was conducted to develop a conceptual framework that addresses various factors associated with return to work among cancer survivors. databases medline, embase, proquest, pubmed and sciencedirect were systematically searched using medical subject headings [mesh] for studies published in english from 1990 to 2013. studies that described adult cancer patients’ self-reported...

Abstract. Cancer is a major health problem all over the world. Photo thermal therapy (PTT) is a non-invasive method in cancer treatment. In PTT, the laser light usually in near-infra red region is absorbed and converted to heat in the cancerous tissue. The temperature above 40 ° C in PTT can induce some effects including irreversible damage to proteins, changes in enzyme struc...
