Introduction: The diagnostic value of the D-dimer test varies with variable platelet numbers and functions in patients suffering from cancer and concomitant pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). This requires easy and reliable evaluation tests. In this study, we aimed to investigate the hypothesis that platelet functions may be more guiding in the prediction and diagnosis of PTE rather than the numb...

A common and lethal kind of cancer, breast affects women worldwide. In the year 2020, around 2.26 million cancer cases were reported will become most globally with a projected 11.7% all or 2.3 new cases. It is ranked as 7th cause 685,000 deaths. Diagnosis plays an essential role in since early diagnosis condition can help better planning for treatment prevent further complications. This researc...

abstract: introduction: this study was conducted to determine the outcomes of the project of ‘integration of breast cancer screening and early detection’ into primary health care (phc) system and to detect the incidence rate, mortality rate and the stage of reported breast cancers, during the timeframe of the project in shahre-kord. method: a prospective cohort study was conducted, reviewing me...

Although breast tuberculosis still remains rare, but in endemic countries should be in differential diagnosis of breast cancer and abscess. Imaging modalities cannot distinguish between cancer and tuberculosis. Acid fast bacilli stain; culture and PCR are helpful diagnostic methods but unfortunately are not very sensitive. Negative results do not rule out this diagnosis, so it seems definite di...

Cancer is the most frequent life-threatening disease which has highest mortality rate throughout world. Diagnosis of cancer at early stage can plays a critical role for its effective and successful treatment. Traditional diagnostic methods screening are costly, time-consuming, not practical repeated screenings. However, biomarker-based diagnosis emerging as one promising strategies diagnosis, m...

Colorectal cancer remains one of the major cancer- related deaths despite progress in the treatment during past decades. Detection of disease at earlier stages reduces its mortality. The aim of current study was to investigate expression of Cytokeratin 19 (CK19), Cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and Guanylyl Cyclase C (GCC) mRNA in peripheral blood of non- metastatic colorectal cancer patients which may r...
