Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCommunity Pharmacists’ Involvement in Breast Cancer Health Promotion in United Arab Emirates (UAE)Osama H. Mohamed Ibrahim, Rana M. IbrahimBreast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Middle East countries. Despite the continuous efforts to increase the public awareness of breast cancer via campaigns and public screening programs, breast cancer screening rate remains low. The participation of community pharmacists in the communication and dissemination of breast cancer screening information should have a significant positive impact. The objectives … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 29 Oct 2013 · 8,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSPECTRAL DOMAIN FEATURES FOR OVARIAN CANCER DATA ANALYSISAhmed Farag Seddik, Riham Amin Hassan, Mahmoud A. FakhreldeinThe early detection of cancer is crucial for successful treatment. Medical researchers have investigated a number of early-diagnosis techniques. Recently, they have discovered that some cancers affect the concentration of certain molecules in the blood, which allows early diagnosis by analyzing the blood mass spectrum. Researchers have developed several techniques for the analysis of the mass-spectrum curve analysis and used … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 9 Jul 2013 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePlant Pectin: A Potential Source for Cancer SuppressionSuryakant K. Niture, Lubna RefaiPectin is a branched polysaccharide present widely in a variety of fruits. It has been of high interest to cancer biologists due to its involvement in metal/carcinogen detoxification and its anti-carcinogenic properties. In particular, Citrus Pectin (CP) and Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) have been shown to have a significant inhibitory role in cancer cell metastasis, invasion, angiogenesis and survival. The … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 18 Apr 2013 · 15,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetection of Cancer Biomarkers with NanotechnologyLei Zhang, Dan Lv, Weijun Su et al.Early detection of cancer biomarkers with high precision is critically important for cancer therapy. A variety of sensors based on different nanostructured materials have attracted intensive research interest due to their potential for highly sensitive and selective detection of cancer biomarkers.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNew Computer Aided Detection Method for the Effective Detection of Breast CancerBalasubramaniam Senthilkumar, Govindaswamy UmamaheswariAnalyzing mammogram images is the most challenging task for radiologists in detecting breast cancer. Computer Aided Detection (CAD) plays major role in detecting such disease. Preprocessing, segmentation and detection are the processes involved in CAD. In this study, we have designed a CAD by improving the processes for the effective detection for breast cancer. Selective median filter has been used … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 13 Mar 2013 · 7,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEpigenetic Mechanisms in Hepatitis C Virus-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Potential New Link Between Stem Cells, Virology and CancerQinghua Feng, Sajida Hassan, Trina Das et al.Recent studies suggest that epigenetic mechanisms are not only essential for the dynamic transcriptional regulation in embryonic and somatic stem cells, but are also actively involved in tumorigenesis: genes important for pluripotency are epigenetically regulated and aberrant epigenetic changes have been detected in virtually all human malignancies studied, including Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Infection with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2013 · 8,038 accessesView PDFCite
