Outcomes are heterogeneous among chronic myeloid leukemia chronic phase (CML CP) patients with BCR-ABL1 transcript percent>10% at 3 months and some have satisfactory outcomes. NCCN guidelines include a change of CML ...
Urban-rural disparities of cancer incidence and mortality have been observed among males around the world. This study assessed disparities of cancer incidence and mortality among males in urban and rural populations of Trivandrum, South India. ...
Smoking was solely considered as the major commonest risk factor for lung cancer. But now rising prevalence of lung cancer is observed among non-smokers also. 10-25% of the diagnosed cases of lung cancer are never smokers in their life. Clinical picture, risk factors, histological characters and hence prognosis ...
Colorectal Cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer in Malaysia, is a preventable disease if screened early. Health Education Module (HEAMOD) developed in accordance with the Preventive Health Model (PHM) framework is particularly useful in increasing screening uptake among health-insured ...
A new Schiff base ligand (fluorene di imino benzene, FDIB) was synthesized and characterized corresponding ternary Cu(II) complex [Cu(FDIB) Phen]+2 was synthesized, characterized and studied its biological properties. Complex exhibits distorted square planar geometry where Schiff base and act as N N donar ligands. ...
We report a series of 4 cases of intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (IMSCM) from breast cancer. It is a rare diagnosis, but increasingly detected now as the use of magnetic resonance imaging for evaluation of spinal metastases has become more common. ...
Phyllodes tumor is a rare lesion of fibroepithelial origin most commonly reported in middle aged women. Historically these tumors have high rates of local recurrence after surgical resection and accepted treatment of these lesions is local excision with wide margins. We present a case of a young woman ...
Patient satisfaction primarily assesses the effectiveness of primary health care delivery. We have developed a Patient Satisfaction Survey (PSS) questionnaire to evaluate the overall level of patient satisfaction which can be helpful to improve patient care delivery. ...
Two new Cu(II) complexes binary [Cu(II)(DFPA)Cl] (1:1) (1) and ternary [Cu(II)(DFPA)(8HQ)](1:1:1) (2), where DFPA is N-(4-Amino-1,2,50-Oxadiazole-3-yl) Picolinamide derived from the amide linkage of picolinic acid and 3,4-diaminofurazan with HATU reagent, were synthesized and characterized. ...
Gall bladder ccancer (GBC) is the commonest biliary tract cancer worldwide but has not received much attention as it is an uncommon cancer in the West, including north America, western Europe and Australia & New Zealand; incidence of GBC has peculiar geographical distribution, being higher ...
There are few types of tumor growths that are midway between the two traditional classifications of benign and malignant. Carcinoid tumors are the most commonly occurring of these rare types of "midway" growths. They have been considered as cancers ...
Cancer patients experience distress that likely will be exacerbated at some point by pain and death concerns. Abundant research indicates that mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) interventions benefit cancer populations in terms of different types of distress. The primary purpose ...
Primary malignancies of the seminal vesicle are rare and early detection is a problem due to the nonspecific nature of symptoms. Leiomyosarcoma of the seminal vesicle is an extremely rare neoplasm which has a poor prognosis due to late diagnosis and difficult surgical resection. ...
The rate of cancer deaths worldwide is alarming. The threatening impact of the disease and the pain it causes victims and their families makes it more worrisome. This is why the researcher undertook a qualitative study on "The Media and the Fight against Cancer: A Critical Perspective." With the aid of the media dependency theoretical framework, ...
