Overweight, Obesity and Endometrial Cancer Risk: Results from a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Tập 29 Số 1 - Trang e21-e29 - 2014
Yuanyuan Zhang, Huaizhen Liu, Shengjie Yang, Jinjun Zhang, Liwei Qian, Xiaowen Chen
Aim Findings from recent studies suggest that obesity may be associated with an
increased risk of endometrial cancer, but several earlier studies were less
conclusive. Here we strive to estimate this relationship in a meta-analysis of
published data. Methods We searched Pubmed and Embase for studies on body mass
index and the risk of endometrial cancer, published from 1989 to 2011. Data were

Purpose: The incidence, pathogenesis, molecular pathways, and outcomes of
colorectal cancer vary depending on the location of the tumor. This study aimed
to compare the difference in tumor characteristics and the outcome between
right-sided colon cancer and left-sided colorectal cancer (LCRC). Materials and
methods: A total of 1503 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgery
at the Taipe... hiện toàn bộ
Role of the hematopoietic cytokines SCF, IL-3, GM-CSF and M-CSF in the diagnosis of pancreatic and ampullary cancer Tập 27 Số 3 - Trang 186-194 - 2012

Background Previous studies have demonstrated altered levels of hematopoietic
cytokines in the serum of patients with different types of cancer. Methods We
measured the serum levels of the hematopoietic cytokines stem cell factor (SCF),
interleukin 3 (IL-3), macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and
granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in 40 pancreatic and
ampullary can... hiện toàn bộ

MCA serum levels were determined in 27 healthy subjects, 136 with benign
pathology (42 breast) and in 289 patients with cancer (247 active). The last
group includes 223 patients with breast cancer (96 without metastases, 89 with
metastases and 38 no-evidence of disease). CEA and CA15-3 serum levels were
determined in all the patients with breast diseases. The mean levels of MCA were
4.7 + 2.4 U/ml... hiện toàn bộ
Estimation of associations between MMP9 gene polymorphisms and breast cancer: Evidence from a meta-analysis Tập 37 Số 1 - Trang 13-20 - 2022

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases,
which play critical roles in cancer progression and metastasis. In recent years,
many researchers have been studying the relationship between MMP9 and breast
cancer. However, it still remains indecisive. Therefore, we conducted a
meta-analysis to draw more accurate conclusions. A total of 21 relevant
documents were ret... hiện toàn bộ
Questioning the Utility of Pooling Samples in Microarray Experiments with Cell Lines Tập 21 Số 2 - Trang 67-73 - 2006

We describe a microarray experiment using the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line in
two different experimental conditions for which the same number of independent
pools as the number of individual samples was hybridized on Affymetrix
GeneChips. Unexpectedly, when using individual samples, the number of probe sets
found to be differentially expressed between treated and untreated cells was
about three t... hiện toàn bộ
