abstract bachground and aim: mutation analysis of mitochondrial genome and brca genes are helpful in the early diagnosis of familial breast cancers. in this study, we investigated mitochondrial common deletion and brca mutations through multiplex pcr and clinical parameters for the detection of familial breast cancers in archival breast cancer samples. methods: the multiplex pcr was conducted o...

objective: the incidence of breast cancer is approximately one million which makes this cancer one of the most common among women worldwide. breast cancer comprises 7% of the total death rate caused by cancers. several strategies that use tumor-associated antigen (taa) vaccination and early detection of breast cancer are clinically being developed. breast cancer is caused by increased over expr...

according to world health organization, breast cancer is one of the most deadly cancers occurred in women. therefore accurate diagnosis and prediction is important to decrease the high death rate. the aim of this paper is twofold. first, improving breast cancer detection accuracy using modified fuzzy logic (mfl) then improving the performance of mfl algorithm using gpu platform. the experimenta...

abstract breast cancer is one of the major health problems of the eastern world. regardless of the survival rate improvement with progression in screening and adjuvant systemic therapies, still one – third of the patients with primary breast cancer have recurrence of micro metastasis after 10 years.  it is important to discover a reliable biomarker for detection of breast cancer. the underlying...

introduction breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women.  early detection of breast cancer is the key to reducing the associated mortality rate. the presence of microcalcifications clusters (mccs) is one of the earliest signs of breast cancer. due to poor imaging contrast of mammograms and noise contamination, radiologists may overlook some diagnostic signs, specially t...

background: we studied the patterns of premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer incidence and its established risk factors in iran in 2010. in addition, we estimated the 5-year prevalence of breast cancer in the country. methods: we performed an internet and library literature review. we used national cancer registry data, demographic health surveys, national censuses and world bank data ...

breast cancer continues to be a significant public health problem in the world. early detection is the key for improving breast cancer prognosis. in this way, magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is emerging as a powerful tool for the detection of breast cancer. breast mri presently has two major challenges. first, its specificity is relatively poor, and it detects many false positives (fps). secon...

background :breast cancer is the most common cancer among females that will cause death ifit does not be recognized and cured. one out of eight iranian women in 40-55years old is likely to develop breast cancer. early detection of breast cancerby screening programs is a useful approach in controlling the disease. methods :in this descriptive study, 196 female healthcare providers were selected ...

background: breast cancer is currently one of the leading causes of death among women worldwide. the diagnosis and separation of cancerous tumors in mammographic images require accuracy, experience and time, and it has always posed itself as a major challenge to the radiologists and physicians. objective: this paper proposes a new algorithm which draws on discrete wavelet transform and adaptive...

background : magnetic resonance imaging of the breast is becoming a useful adjunct to mammography and sonography for the detection of breast lesions. however, it is not yet accepted as a routine examination for all breast cancer patients due to the lack of data regarding whether breast magnetic resonance imaging impacts recurrence or survival. this trial examines the use of magnetic resonance i...
