abstract   background: gastric cancer is the second most common cancer and also the second cancer related death all over the world. in recent years recorded data for tumor has shown a rise in the incidence of gastric cancer in young individuals. the present study was designed to compare some of the epidemiologic characteristics of individuals suffering from gastric cancer aged below and above f...

background: gastric cancer is the fourth common malignancy and the second prevalent cause of cancer death in the world. genetic and environmental factors play an important role in the development of this cancer. nutritional and epidemiological studies have indicated that folate status modulates the risk of developing cancer and apoptosis has been reported to play a decisive role in precancerous...

The successful therapy strategy of gastric cancer is defined as devastating of the cancerous cells without exposing systematic toxicity and undesirable side effects. One strategy to overcome cancer treatment related difficulties could be combination therapy with natural products with anticancer drugs to introduce effective antitumor effects in addition to reduction of undesirable side effects. ...

abstract background: gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world especially in iran. there are many genomic and molecular factors that cause gastric cancer to occur. also, many markers that associate with tumor invasiveness have been known.  e-cadherin is a calcium- mediated cell adhesion molecule. in some studies, abnormal expression of e-cadherin has been seen in gastric car...

background: early detection is a key to survival for gastric cancer. molecular markers such as mirna (microrna) can have great importance in the early diagnosis of gastric cancer. expression of mir-21 and mir-221 are deregulated in many types of human cancers. this study aimed to investigate the differences in mirna expression patterns within the iranian population. methods: total rna was extra...

background: gastric cancer (gc) is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies. genetic variation in genes encoding cytokines and their receptors, determine the intensity of the inflammatory response, which may contribute to individual differences in the outcome and severity of the disease. interleukin-10 (il-10) is a multifunctional cytokine with both immunosuppressive and antiangiogenic f...

background: chronic inflammation and dys-regulation of the immune system mechanisms are now well established as primary triggers of gastric cancer and peptic ulcer disease. galectin-9 (gal-9) is a member of the galectin family and known as an inducer of cell aggregation, adhesion and apoptosis. gal-9 interaction with its main ligand t-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain protein-3 (tim-3) leads...
