background: proliferation and expansion of cancer stem cells as spheroids were proved in previous studies. but, capability of primary tumor-derived stem cells to keep their unique properties in vitro is still disputed. so, the goal of this study was to isolate, expand and characterize of colon cancer-derived stem cells. material and methods: in the present work, colon cancer stem cells markers ...

background and aim: colon cancer is the third most prevalent cancer in iran. prolonged colon inflammation is an important factor, in the development of colon cancer. ginger has anti-inflammatory properties due to its content of [6]-gingerol and hence can play a role in the prevention of colon cancer. in this research the effects of ginger extract on reducing expression of the cox-2 gene in ht-2...

This study was done to identify the epidemiological features and risk factors of colon cancer in different regions of Birjand. Methods: This retrospective, descriptive an...

Objective(s): Apatinib recently has been used to treat patients with gastric cancer, but the function of apatinib in colon cancer remains unclear. This study was conducted to investigate the impacts of apatinib on the biological function and its potential mechanism of colon cancer cells in vitro. Materials and Methods:The effect of apatinib in colon cancer cells were detected by assessing cell ...

Objective(s): Determination of stages of colon cancer is done by biopsy usually after surgery. Metabolomics is the study of all the metabolites using LC-MS and 1HNMR spectroscopy with chemometric techniques. The stages of colon cancer were detected from patients' sera using 1HNMR. Materials and Methods: Five ml blood was collected from 16 confirmed patients referred for colonoscopy.  One group ...

background: solid tumors may occur in 3% of the patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (cml). in this paper, we presented a case of cml following treatment of colon cancer. case presentation: a 25 year old man was diagnosed of adenocarcinoma of rectosigmoid treated with fluorouracil-based chemotherapy. following relapse, he received florouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan during the next year. ...
