cancer detection
Cancer screening aims to detect cancer before symptoms appear. This may involve blood tests, urine tests, DNA tests other tests, or medical imaging. The benefits of screening in terms of cancer prevention, early detection and subsequent treatment must be weighed against any harms

Challenges for biomarkers in cancer detection
free download
Cancer remains the leading cause of death in the United States. Biomarkers can be used to detect cancer in different stages, initiation, develop ment, and progression. The desirable property and utility of a biomarker lie in its ability to provide an early indication of disease
Next-generation sequencing of microRNAs for breast cancer detection
free download
It is reported that different microRNA (miRNA) profiles can be detected in the blood of cancer patients. We investigated that whether the key serum miRNAs could discriminate patients with and without breast cancer . This study was divided into three parts:(1) miRNA marker

Lowering PSA cutoffs to enhance detection of curable prostate cancer
free download
The widespread use of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing for early prostate cancer detection has increased the proportion of earlystage cancers detected and is at least partially responsible for the recent decrease in prostate cancer mortality rates in the United A reliable, noninvasive method for monitoring patients with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder would be of great clinical benefit. Cystoscopy is currently the gold standard, but it is invasive, expensive and uncomfortable for the patient. Recently, we demonstrated a

Microwave thermography for cancer detection
free download
The paper presents some new methods for early breast cancer detection using microwaves. On describe the following methods and techniques: microwave impedance tomography, termography and microwave radiometry, combined methods-microwave and ultra-acustic
An introduction to microwave imaging for breast cancer detection
free download
The genesis of this book was a proposal by Dr. Panagiotis Kosmas and Prof. Yifan Chen to co-author a review paper which would provide an overview of the current state of the art in both microwave breast imaging and microwave breast tumour classification techniques Forty-four years ago, Sir Ernest Kennaway and his colleagues identified, for the first time, a pure chemical that was capable of causing cancer in animals, and a year later isolated another from material that was widespread in the environment. At that time, and even after
Molecular detection of cytokeratin-19 positive cells in the peripheral blood of patients with operable breast cancer : Evaluation of their prognostic significance
free download
Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic significance of molecular detection of cytokeratin 19 (CK-19) mRNA-positive cells by nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR) in the peripheral blood of women with stages I and II breast cancer before adjuvant
Prostate cancer detection with MRI: is dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging necessary in addition to diffusion-weighted imaging
free download
PURPOSE To assess the feasibility of using magnetic resonance imaging for prostate cancer detection without using a contrast material. MATERIALS AND METHODS T2- weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and dynamic contrast
Biological Early Brain Cancer Detection Using Artificial Neural Networks.
free download
Computer aided diagnosis systems for detecting malignant texture in biological study have been investigated using several techniques. This paper presents an approach in computer- aided diagnosis for early prediction of brain cancer using Texture features and neuro
Detection of bone metastases in breast cancer by 18FDG PET: differing metabolic activity in osteoblastic and osteolytic lesions.
free download
Results: 1 8 FDG PET detected more lesions than 99mTc MDP scintigraphy (mean, 14.1 and 7.8 lesions, respectively; P . 01). However, 18 FDG detected fewer bone metastases compared with 99mTc MDP scintigraphy in a subgroup of patients with osteoblastic disease
