computer aided pulmonary nodule detection has been among major research topics lately to help for early treatment of lung cancer which is the most lethal kind of cancer worldwide.some evidence suggests that periodic screening tests with the ct of patients will help in reducing the mortality rate caused by the lung cancer. acomplete and accurate computer aided diagnosis (cad) system for detectio...

Background: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The purpose our meta-analysis was to assess the risk factors for brain metastases (BM) in patients with non-small cell lung (NSCLC).

background: lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide with an annual mortality rate of more than 1.3 million worldwide. we aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (nsclc) in west of iran. methods: 64 patients with nsclc who referred to our clinic were analyzed. sex, age, histopathology, location of the tumor, treatment, ...

this study was undertaken to examine the ability of spect in differentiation of a pulmonary lesion suspecions of lung cancr. a total of 170 patients with suspected lung cancer were studied. a dose of tl-201 chloride {148-296 mbq) was injected intravenously and tomographic early and delayed scans were obtained at 15 miniutes and 3 hours post injection, respectively. delayed tl-201 spect visulize...

background: radiation-induced lung toxicity is an important dose-limiting toxicity in lung cancer radiotherapy, for which there are no generally accepted predictive factors. this study seeks to identify risk factors associated with the development of severe radiation-induced lung toxicity using clinical and dosimetric parameters. methods: we reviewed the medical records of 54 patients with hist...

Objective(s): Lung cancer is the main leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Angiogenesis is the main step in proliferation and spreading of tumor cells. Targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an effective approach for inhibition of cancer angiogenesis. Nanobodies (NBs) are a novel class of antibodies derived from the camel. Unique characteristics of Nbs like their small size ...

Magnetic nanoparticles have been highly regarded because of their unique properties, such as hyperthermia, medicine control release, and diagnostic applications. The main aim of the current paper is to offer a new system for the modification of Fe3O4 (SPIONs) superparamagnetic nanoparticles physically and chemically with polymers through physical retention. These modified nanoparticles have bee...
