It is common knowledge that the incidence of Oral squamous cell carcinoma worldwide is high and that it has a fairly poor prognosis. Methods such as surgery,radiation therapy and chemotherapy have been used widely to treat such cancers. Cancer patients who are not helped by these therapies can be treated by gene therapy....

Learning While Caring is about medical learning within the doctor-patient relationship in the context of academic medical practice. Although cancer is the subject of most of Dr. Hellman\"s essays, they are applicable to most of clinical medicine....

The aminobisphosphonate zoledronic acid(ZOL) has elicited significant attention due to its remarkable anti-tumoral activity,though its detailed mechanism of action remains unclear. Here,we demonstrate the existence of a nuclear GSK3-NFATc2 stabilization pathway that promotes cancer growth in vitro and in vivo and serves as a bonafide target of ZOL....

This book presents the findings on interactions of microRNAs and mRNAs involved in gastrointestinal malignancies. Presented study includes in silico algorithms for microarray data preprocessing, microRNA targets prediction and data integration....

Prostate cancer, presents a high incidence worldwide and represents the second cause of cancer related deaths in men, after lung cancer. At present, the only noninvasive procedure used for prostate cancer early diagnosis is the measurement of serum prostate-specific antigen in blood....

Cancer is the most harmful global problem of our time and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the coming decades. Altered metabolism is one of the hallmarks of cancer cells....

Medicinal Chemistry of Anticancer Drugs, Second Edition, provides an updated treatment from the point of view of medicinal chemistry and drug design, focusing on the mechanism of action of antitumor drugs from the molecular level, and on the relationship between chemical structure and chemical and biochemical reactivity of antitumor agents....

In this study, we evaluated the nurse’s roles. These roles were for two principles, as a counselor and as a provider for cervical cancer screening tests. In the first role, the nurse succeeded in counseling women about the benefits of cervical cancer screening by dismaying the stigma associated with cervical cancer screening....

Aberrant DNA methylation of CpG islands (CGIs) is a common alteration during malignant transformation that leads to the abnormal silencing of tumor suppressor genes and plays a role in disease initiation and progression....
