Background: the aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of 18Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) parameters in both overall survival and progression-free survival in Stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 267 patients who were diagnosed as Stage I-III non-smal...

Granular cell tumor is a rare benign non-encapsulated tumor that mostly presents in oral cavity. Breast localization is uncommon and occurs in about one per 1000 cases of breast cancers. It mainly affects premenopausal women showing the possible role of estrogen and progesterone levels in the progression of this tumor. Granular cell tumor is a great emulator of the invasive ductal carcinoma of ...

in the retinoblastoma research, it is of great interest to identify molecular markers associated with the genetics of tumorigenesis. micrornas (mirnas) are small non-coding rna molecules that play a regulatory role in many crucial cellular pathways such as differentiation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis. a body of evidences showed dysregulation of mirnas in tumor biology and many disease...

Mestastatic prostate cancer cells (MPCCs) frequently metastasize to bone, which is a “favorite soil” for colonization and proliferation of MPCCs. Prostate cancer bone mestastasis is tightly associated with tumor-induced bone lesions, most commonly caused from the etiological imbalance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption, and from the anti-tumor immune response. ...

Objective(s): Growing evidences have indicated microRNAs as modulators of tumor development and aggression. On the other hand, a phenomenon known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that indicates a transient phase from epithelial-like features to mesenchymal phenotype is a key player in tumor progression.  In this study, we aimed to assess the potential impacts...

RAB42, member rat sarcoma oncogene family was proved to play a key role in cancer-promoting progression. However, its function the progression of bladder cancer still uncertain. We explored and pan-cancer using bioinformatics analysis, including expression, prognostic, genetic alteration, functional pathways, tumor microenvironment drug resistance. Our results indicated that expression increase...
