Survival Impact of Nephroureterectomy for De Novo Stage IV Nonmetastatic and Metastatic Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

BackgroundWhether nephroureterectomy (NU) provides survival benefits in patients with stage IV upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) remains unclear. We compared the effect of chemotherapy (CT) alone with that of CT combined with NU (CT +...

Epidemiology of Bladder Cancer

Based on the latest GLOBOCAN data, bladder cancer accounts for 3% of global cancer diagnoses and is especially prevalent in the developed world. In the United States, bladder cancer is the sixth most incident neoplasm. A total of 90% of bla...

Nutritional Epidemiology

Abstract This book is about the complex relationships between diet and risks of important diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. The book starts with an overview of research strategies in nutritional epidemiology—still a relat...

Nutritional Epidemiology

This book is intended to increase understanding of the complex relationships between diet and the major diseases of western civilization, such as cancer and atherosclerosis. The book starts with an overview of research strategies in nutriti...

Trends in cervical cancer incidence and mortality in the United States, 1975–2018: a population-based study

BackgroundCervical cancer incidence and mortality rates in the United States have substantially declined over recent decades, primarily driven by reductions in squamous cell carcinoma cases. However, the trend in recent years remains unclea...

Epidemiology of ovarian cancer

Worldwide, ovarian cancer (OC) is the seventh most common type of malignant neoplasm in women and the eighth cause of mortality in them. The classification of OC is made by the possible origin of one of the three main components of the ovar...

Outcomes of primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B cell lymphoma in the rituximab era

Abstract Background Primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PGI-DLBCL) constitutes 30%-40% of primary extranodal lymphomas. While rituximab has significantly improved survival in nodal DLBCL, its impact on the prognosis of P...

Hepatocellular carcinoma: Implications for Asia-Pacific Oncology Nurses

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prominent malignancy in the Asia-Pacific region. Despite considerable knowledge about it's scope and nature this malignancy remains incurable. This manuscript reviews the epidemiology of this cancer, its ...

Robotic surgery

BACKGROUND: Proficiency in minimally invasive surgery requires intensive and continuous training, as it is technically challenging for unnatural visual and haptic perceptions. Robotic and computer sciences are producing innovations to augme...

A recent update on development, synthesis methods, properties and application of natural products derived carbon dots

Abstract Natural resources are practically infinitely abundant in nature, which stimulates scientists to create new materials with inventive uses and minimal environmental impact. Due to the various benefits of natural carbon dots (NCDs) fr...

Using an Inspired Quantum-Classical Sequential Neural Network to Segment Liver Tumor Images Accurately

Medical analytics based on multimodal intelligence are essential to contemporary healthcare, especially in the diagnosis and detection of liver cancer. However, low contrast, varied textures, and irregular tumor forms in medical imaging con...

Molecular characterization and prognostic modeling associated with M2-like tumor-associated macrophages in breast cancer: revealing the immunosuppressive role of DLG3

BackgroundM2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) promote an immunosuppressive microenvironment and contribute to tumor progression and metastasis. However, their molecular characterization and prognostic value have not been fully explo...

A neural network model for survival data

Neural networks have received considerable attention recently, mostly by non-statisticians. They are considered by many to be very promising tools for classification and prediction. In this paper we present an approach to modelling censored...

Application of Protein-Protein Interaction Network Analysis in Order to Identify Cervical Cancer miRNA and mRNA Biomarkers

Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the world’s most common and severe cancers. This cancer includes two histological types: squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (ADC). The current study aims at identifying novel potential candidate ...
