Background & aims Certain subsets of colorectal serrated polyps (SP) have malignant potential. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the association between modifiable lifestyle factors and risk for SPs. Methods We conducted a systematic search of Medline, Embase, and Web...

BACKGROUND: Breast and Cervical cancer are the two most common cancers among women in developing countries. Regular screening is the most effective way of ensuring that these cancers are detected at early stages; however few studies have assessed factors that predict cancer screening in developing c...

PARP-1 is a critical enzyme in the repair of DNA strand breaks. Inhibition of PARP-1 increases the effectiveness of radiation in killing tumor cells. However, although the mechanism(s) are well understood for these radiosensitizing effects in vitro, the underlying mechanism(s) in vivo are less clear...

All the currently available cancer therapeutic options are expensive but none of them are safe. However, traditional plant-derived medicines or compounds are relatively safe. One widely known such compound is beta-sitosterol (BS), a plant derived nutrient with anticancer properties against breast ca...

Growing evidence showed the increased prevalence of cancer incidents, particularly colorectal cancer, among type 2 diabetic mellitus patients. Antidiabetic medications such as, insulin, sulfonylureas, dipeptyl peptidase (DPP) 4 inhibitors and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GLP-1) analogue...

Background Cancer is a leading cause of death globally. Accurate cancer burden information is crucial for policy planning, but many countries lack up-to-date cancer surveillance data. To inform global cancer-control efforts, we used the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GB...

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common tumors worldwide and the leading cause of tumor-related mortality. Endoscopy and serological tumor marker testing are currently the main methods of GC screening, and treatment relies on surgical resection or chemotherapy. However, traditional examination...

Chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are characterized by extensive fibrosis. Importantly, in PDAC, this results in poor vascularization and impaired drug delivery to the cancer cells. Therefore, the combined targeting of pancreatic tumor stroma and chemotherapy should en...

PURPOSE: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) actively participate in reciprocal communication with tumor cells and with other cell types in the microenvironment, contributing to a tumor-permissive neighborhood and promoting tumor progression. The aim of this study is the characterization of how CAFs...

PURPOSE: As topotecan is S-phase-specific, its efficacy is likely schedule-dependent. Therefore, a randomized study using a "pick the winner" design was undertaken to compare two schedules in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian can...
