background: studies suggest a high prevalence of anxiety and depression in breast cancer patients compared with other types of cancer. note that depression and anxiety influence other important parameters such as the patient's psychological status, quality of life, patients´ immune system, efficiency of treatment, duration of hospitalization and survival, the researchers design and implement st...

Prostate cancer screening may detect nonprogressive cancers, leading to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. The potential for overdiagnosis can be assessed from the reservoir of prostate cancer in autopsy studies that report incidental prostate cancer rates in men who died of other causes. We aimed to estimate the age-specific incidental cancer prevalence from all published autopsy studies. We ide...

BACKGROUND In recent years, some reports have suggested that papillary thyroid cancers are more frequently associated with lymphocytic thyroiditis or Hashimoto's thyroiditis. This study investigated a potential increase in the prevalence of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis among papillary thyroid cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used national epidemiological survey data on thyroid can...

BACKGROUND Information on cancer prevalence is either absent or largely unavailable for central European countries. MATERIALS AND METHODS Austria, Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland cover a population of 13 million inhabitants. Cancer registries in these countries supplied incidence and survival data for 465 000 cases of cancer. The prevalence of stomach, col...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer mortality and incidence rates vary by geographic region in the United States. Previous analytic studies have measured mortality, not incidence, and have used regional prevalences to control for geographic variation in risk factors rather than adjusting for risk factors measured at the level of the individual. We prospectively evaluated regional variation in breast cance...

BACKGROUND Fourfold to sixfold higher prostate cancer rates in Japanese-American men in the United States compared with Japanese men in Japan have been cited to support a role for environmental risk factors in the etiology of the disease. To examine the hypothesis that part or all of the elevated prostate cancer rates in Japanese-American men may reflect more intensive prostate cancer screening...

at about 6-8 weeks, following which there is a rapid decline. At two months, average total fuss and crying times of 2-21⁄212 hours/24 hour day have been reported by the three studies. Prolonged crying is common at this early stage, with 29% of Northamptonshire infants crying for three or more hours a day during the first three months, declining to roughly 7-10% thereafter.6 (2) Rates of materna...

review:background: liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer is. the true prevalence of infection in cancer remains unknown but the incidence of these cancers in 1.7 % of all cases of cancer. the aim of this study was to examine the changes of liver cancer mortality in the population during the years 2006 to 2010.materials and methods: in this study, the...

the increasing prevalence rate of breast cancer among asian-american women shows the more significant role of lifestyle factors in etiology than genetic factors. the search engine pubmed was used for searching related paper by “breast cancer”, “soy”, “isoflavones”, “phytoestrogen” as the key words. we selected papers which published during 1990 to 2012. various experimental studies reported the...

In patients with cancer, fatigue usually reported as one most frequent symptoms defined chronic mainly in cases when metastases impair daily life activities significantly. Objective: This work aimed to evaluate prevalence head neck cancer submitted radiochemother...
