the logical next step. And yet achieving this goal poses many challenges given the relatively small Canadian research capacity in this area. El Ansari et al. 11 suggested that, to accelerate research activity, research consortiums deserve attention by funding bodies. We agree, and we propose the establishment of a consortium to advance needed work in cancer survivorship in Canada. A research co...

despite a lot of research, the etiology and progression of breast cancer remain incompletely understood. recently, human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) was reported as a risk factor for breast cancer. the aim of this study was to know whether breast cancer could be caused by cytomegalovirus or not? in this experiment seventeen samples of razi/a mice with spontaneous breast cancer were being gathered fr...

background : the high incidence of breast cancer in young women in iran and its resultant problems for families show the necessity of exploring studies conducted in this field. the present research was conducted to determine the volume of scientific production on breast cancer in iran, and to compare it with that of other countries in the middle east. methods : this systematic review study used...

In 2006, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified formaldehyde as carcinogenic to humans (IARC, 2006). In Monograph 88, IARC decided that the epidemiologic evidence available was strong but not sufficient to conclude that formaldehyde specifically causes leukemia in humans. However, IARC noted that studies reporting excess mortality from nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) prov...

background: breast cancer is the most incident cancer and the fifth cause of death due to malignancies among iranian women. a strong breast cancer patients' sense of meaning and purpose in life appears to decrease anxiety in their life. the present study has investigated the effectiveness of group logotherapy on the reduction of anxiety in women with breast cancer. methods: the research was qua...

introduction: cancer and its treatments have a significant effect on the quality of life (qol) of people who suffer from cancer. nursing consultation involving cancer survivors might be beneficial for other patients as they successfully managed and lived with cancer. but controversies still exist in the research findings as how nursing consultation involving cancer survivors might influence oth...

Gene discoveries in cancer have the potential for clinical and public health applications. To take advantage of such discoveries, a translational research agenda is needed to take discoveries from the bench to population health impact. To assess the current status of translational research in cancer genetics, we analyzed the extramural grant portfolio of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) from...

Medical imaging is essential to screening, early diagnosis, and monitoring responses to cancer treatments and, when used with other diagnostics, provides guidance for clinicians in choosing the most effective patient management plan that maximizes survivorship and quality of life. At a gathering of agency officials, patient advocacy organizations, industry/professional stakeholder groups, and c...

To integrate and discuss the cutting-edge science and revolutionized therapeutics of cancer in Japan and the United States, JCA (Japanese Cancer Association)-AACR (American Association for Cancer Research) Joint Symposia were held on 25th (Symposium 2) and 26th (Symposium 1) in September 2014 as a part of the 73rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Cancer Association at Pacifico Yokohama in Yokoham...
