introduction: the molecular mechanisms involved in pathogenesis of esophageal cancer have been the main concern of several studies. in this study, we aimed to investigate the changes of serum prooxidant-antioxidant balance (pab) value as a redox index, as well as serum c-reactive protein (crp) compared to healthy control group. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study, blood samples we...

Barrett's esophagus (BE) is the precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), a disease with increasing burden in the Western world, especially in white men. Risk factors for BE include obesity, tobacco smoking, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). EAC is the most common form of esophageal cancer in the United States. Risk factors include GERD, tobacco smoking, and obesity, whereas nonst...

background: esophageal cancer is one of the major malignancies around the world. it is the 8th high frequency cancer and the 6th leading cause of cancer death worldwide. the etiology of esophageal carcinoma is thought to be related to the exposure of smoking, alcohol, nitrate and low socioeconomic status. in this study, the status of oral health was evaluated in the population living in the nor...

Abstract Background Obesity‐related cancers in the 16 Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries is quite prominent. The changes and time trends of burden obesity‐related developing like SADC remain largely unknown. A descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted to assess cancers, (liver, esophageal, breast, prostate, colon/rectal, leukemia, ovarian, uterine, pancreatic, kidn...

esophageal cancer is the eighth most ordinary cancer and the sixth most common cancer between the males and ninth for females in the world; its major and effective treatment is external radiotherapy. this type of cancer can be found in different areas of esophagus including cervical, upper, middle and lower esophagus. in this treatment, healthy tissues such as the trachea, spine and sternum and...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a worldwide problem, with an annual incidence of 1 million cases and an annual mortality of more than 500,000 cases. CRC is the second most common cause of cancer mortality. CRC comprises 9% of the global cancer burden and is the most frequent in North America, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Europe, being considered as a disease of the Western lifestyle. Despite ...
