Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleβ 1, 3-Glucan in Cancer TreatmentVaclav Vetvicka, J. VetvickovaNatural products, useful in preventing and/or treating various diseases, have been sought after throughout the man’s history. Despite some problems inherited from the natural source of glucans, there is extensive literature about their activities in animal tumor models. For the past 25 years, Japan has used several forms of mushroom-derived glucans in treating cancer patients. Additionally, close to twenty clinical … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2012 · 8,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePatterns of Resection among Patients with Hepatic-Only Metastatic Colorectal Cancer a Single Institution Experience and ReviewK.I. Quintyne, N. O’Leary, O. O’Kelly et al.Problem statement: Hepatic-only metastasis in colorectal cancer is not a rare clinical finding and can account for 30% of cases. However, only 10-25% of cases are suitable for hepatic resection as part of their treatment pathway. We sought to document our own findings by reviewing patients with hepatic-only disease. Approach: A retrospective analysis was designed to include all patients seen … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 5 Apr 2012 · 7,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNovel Fuzzy Technique for Cancer Detection in Noisy Breast Ultrasound ImagesN. Alamelumangai, J. DeviShreeProblem statement: Detecting tumor areas in breast Ultrasound (US) images is a challenging task. The occurrence of benign areas in breast may result in false identification of malignant areas which may have serious outcome. Approach: The CAD system could act as a major function in the early detection of breast cancer and could decrease the death rate among women with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 12 Mar 2012 · 6,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCross Validation Evaluation for Breast Cancer Prediction Using Multilayer Perceptron Neural NetworksShirin A. Mojarad, Satnam S. Dlay, Wai L. Woo, Gajanan V. SherbetProblem statement: The presence of metastasis in the regional lymph nodes is the most important factor in predicting prognosis in breast cancer. Many biomarkers have been identified that appear to relate to the aggressive behaviour of cancer. However, the nonlinear relation of these markers to nodal status and also the existence of complex interaction between markers have prohibited an accurate … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 20 Feb 2012 · 7,703 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFeasibility Study: Colorectal Cancer Related Educational Program for Korean AmericansJin Hee Kim, Usha Menon, Laura A. SzalachaProblem statement: The purpose of this study was to assess feasibility and acceptability of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) related educational program, specifically designed to promote Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) completion for Korean Americans aged 50 years and older. Approach: Focus group discussion (N = 9) guided by semi-structured questions was conducted to understand the demand for CRC education and to … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 22 Dec 2011 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEfficient Classification of Cancer using Support Vector Machines and Modified Extreme Learning Machine based on Analysis of Variance FeaturesA. Bharathi, A.M. NatarajanProblem statement: The primary objective is to propose efficient cancer classification techniques which provide reliable and significant classification accuracy. To achieve this primary research goal is to find the smallest set of genes that can ensure high accuracy in classification using supervised machine learning algorithms. The significance of finding the minimum subset is three fold: (a) The computational burden and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 22 Oct 2011 · 7,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnti-Carcinoma, Anti-Obesity, Antidiabetic and Immune Defence Effects of Vernonia amygdalina Leaf Extract and Leaf Powder, in Two Human Cancer PatientsUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu AnastasiaProblem statement: Two cancer patients were treated with Vernonia amygdalina (V. amygdalina) leaf extract and leaf powder. The leaf extract of V amygdalina was administered orally for 9 months to the first patient in response to his reception of a medical diagnosis of having traces of prostate cancer. Approach: This patient was also over weight by 40 kg. The V. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 5 Aug 2011 · 8,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCancer Classification using Support Vector Machines and Relevance Vector Machine based on Analysis of Variance FeaturesA. Bharathi, A.M.
