Abstract A key determinant of breast cancer outcome in any population is the degree to which cancers are detected at early stages disease. Populations earlier have lower mortality rates. The Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI) held its third Summit Budapest, Hungary October 2007, bringing together internationally recognized experts address implementation healthcare guidelines for detection, diagnosis, and treatment low- middle-income countries (LMCs). multidisciplinary panel specifically...
The Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI) brought together international breast cancer experts to discuss in low resource countries (LRCs) and identify common concerns reviewed this consensus statement. There continues be a lack of public health care professionals' awareness the importance early detection cancer. Mastectomy most treatment for cancer; surgeons anesthesia services was identified as contributing factor delayed surgical therapy LRCs. Where available, radiation is still more...
An extensive association analysis of a candidate gene for coronary heart disease, Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) gene, was performed. Ten polymorphisms, out which three were newly identified in regulatory regions, investigated with myocardial infarction (MI) and 2 MI endophenotypes (CETP mass HDL-cholesterol level) 568 patients 668 controls. The polymorphisms affecting codon 405 (Ile405Val) the nucleotide 524 downstream from stop (G+524T) almost completely concordant associated...
The lifestyle risk factors for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in North Africa are not known.From 2002 to 2005, we interviewed 636 patients and 615 controls from Algeria, Morocco Tunisia, frequency-matched by centre, age, sex, childhood household type (urban/rural). Conditional logistic regression was used evaluate the association of lifestyles with NPC risk, controlling socioeconomic status dietary factors.Cigarette smoking snuff (tobacco powder additives) intake were significantly...
Abstract North Africa is one of the major Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) endemic regions. Specific food items unique to this area were implicated be associated with NPC risk, but results inconsistent. Here we have performed a large‐scale case‐control study in Maghrebian population from Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. From 2002 2005, interviews conducted on 636 cases 615 controls. Controls hospitalized individuals 15 non‐cancer hospital departments, or friends family members non‐NPC cancer...
Background The possible role of viruses in breast cancer etiology remains an unresolved question. We hypothesized that if some are involved, it may be a subgroup cancers only. Epidemiological arguments drove our interest subgroups more frequent Africa, namely inflammatory (IBC) and triple-negative cancer. tested whether viral prevalence was significantly higher these subgroups. Materials Methods One hundred fifty-five paraffin-embedded malignant tumors were randomly selected at the pathology...
BackgroundScreening for breast cancer and cervical in the newly independent states of former Soviet Union is largely opportunistic, countries region have among highest incidence WHO European Region. We aimed to compare stage-specific distributions changes over time Union.MethodsWe collected data from official statistics Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Republic Moldova, Russian Federation, Ukraine, Uzbekistan years 2008–17 by tumour, node, metastasis (TNM)...
Diagnosing cancer earlier can enable timely treatment and optimize outcomes. Worldwide, national control plans increasingly encompass early diagnosis programs for symptomatic patients, commonly comprising awareness campaigns to encourage prompt help-seeking possible symptoms health system policies support diagnostic assessment access treatment. By their nature, involve complex public interventions aiming address unmet needs by acting on patient, clinical, factors. However, there is...
Abstract We determined the incidences of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone (PR) and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) subtypes among breast cancer cases in Sarawak, Malaysia their correlation with various risk factors three ethnic groups: Chinese, Malay native. Subtype status was ascertained for 1,034 female (93% all diagnosed since 2003), age‐standardized incidence rates (ASRs) each subtype were inferred. Case–case comparisons across performed reproductive factors. found 48% luminal...
Introduction: Few population-based cancer registries are in place developing countries. In order to know the burden of Moroccan population, registry initiative was put Casablanca district, biggest city Morocco.
Abstract Towards further clarifying the role of dopamine D5 receptor (DRD5) microsatellite polymorphism in etiology ADHD, we used a robust family based strategy to test for association between DRD5 and this disorder. Additionally, neuropsychological mechanism by which allele may confer risk was explored examining relationship genotype scores on continuous performance test. DNA obtained from 164 probands their parents. majority these were administered computerized test, Test Of Variables...
Although genetic susceptibility to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has been recognized for a long time, little is known about the responsible genes. X-Ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1) and human 8-oxo-guanine glycosylase (hOGG1) genes are involved in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) were found associated with NPC risk three Asian case-control studies. The objective of present study was test these sample from North Africa, one major endemic regions world. Three single nucleotide...
Due to recent technical improvements and some encouraging new results, there has been a resurgence of interest in the possibility that substantial proportion breast cancers (BCs) may be caused by viral infections, including Human papillomavirus (HPV). The aim this study was determine prevalence mucosal cutaneous HPV tumours from Moroccan BC patients.
Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), which may be sporadic (95%) or familial (5%), has a prevalence adjusted for age in the general population of 1:100 000. Somatic rearrangements <i>RET</i> proto-oncogene are present up to 66% tumours, while they rarely found cases. Purpose: In order determine if some variants this gene, combination them, might predispose PTC, we looked an association haplotype(s) PTC cases and controls from four countries matched sex, age, population. Methods:...
