introduction breast cancer is one of the most life-threatening conditions among women. early detection of this disease is the only way to reduce the associated mortality rate. mammography is a standard method for the early detection of breast cancer. today, considering the importance of breast cancer detection, computer-aided detection techniques have been employed to increase the quality of ma...

The role of microRNAs (miRs) is shown as a biomarker whose expression level changes have been associated with cancer development and progression. Circulating miRNAs have been postulated as biomarkers for breast cancer. Detection and diagnosis of miRNA markers could provide an improved and sensitive method in the clinical application. In this study, we applied and improved the effective approach...

Background: The value of CA15-3(cancer antigen 15-3) marker in early detection of breast cancer recurrence has been studied in several prospective trials. But the results of these studies are different. This may be due to variable cutoff points used for analysis, different intervals between CA15-3 measurements and the differences between patients population. This study was done to examine the p...

background: individuals with a positive family history of colorectal cancer have an increased risk of developing this type of cancer. the number of affected relatives and the age at diagnosis are two factors that increase the risk of colorectal cancer. the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of a positive family history of colorectal cancer in a random sample among the iranian genera...

Introduction: In the current study we evaluated the incremental value of lateral pelvic lymphoscintigraphy imaging of endometrial or cervical cancer patients who underwent sentinel node mapping. Methods: Operable endometrial and cervical cancer patients without clinical or paraclinical evidence of lymph node involvement were included in the study. The day before surgery the patients were sent ...

background: breast cancer is the most common type of cancer and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. however, if detected in early stages, the disease is controllable. in view of the important role of women's beliefs and the necessity of performing screening behaviors in early detection of breast cancer, this study was carried out to determine the psycho-cognitive factors affe...

abstract objective: detection of p53 gene mutation on its codon 248 between iranian women with breast cancer by pcr-rflp. material and methods: dna extraction of tumor tissues was performed in 53 patients with primary breast cancer. designing primer for the sub-studying codon was performed with nti-vector software and detection of codon 248 mutation was done by msp i pcr_rflp. results: the soma...

conclusions cervical cancer screening, comprising of both pap test and hpv testing, is an essential part of the routine health care for women as it can facilitate the detection of abnormal cervical cells. hpv infection can produce abnormal pap test results; also, certain types of hpv are associated with cancer. therefore, it is important to diagnose abnormal cervical tissues before the developm...
