Breast density estimation with visual evaluation is still challenging due to low contrast and significant fluctuations in the mammograms' fatty tissue background. The primary key breast classification detect dense tissues mammographic images correctly. Many methods have been proposed for estimation; nevertheless, most of them are not fully automated. Besides, they badly affected by signal-to-noise ratio variability appearance texture. This study intends develop a automated digitalized...

This paper reports the preparation of versatile electrochemical biosensing platforms for simple, rapid, and PCR-independent detection most frequent DNA methylation marks (5-methylcytosine, 5-mC, and/or 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-hmC) both at global gene-specific levels. The implemented strategies, relying on smart coupling immuno-magnetic beads (MBs), specific probes amperometric screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs), provided sensitive selective determination target methylated DNAs in...

Skin cancer is the most common tumor in population. There are different therapeutic modalities. Brachytherapy one of techniques used, which it necessary to build customized moulds for some patients. Currently, these made by hand using rudimentary techniques. We present a new procedure based on 3D printing and analysis clinical workflow.Moulds can be either or automated printing. For making hand, patient's alginate negative created and, from that, gypsum cast template. The process first step...

The management of older cancer patients remains difficult because data paucity. Radiation oncologists need to identify potential issues which could affect treatment those patients. A workshop was organized in Barcelona among international radiation with special interest the on April 22, 2018. following consensus reached: 1. Older often faced unconscious discriminating bias from specialists and institutions their chronological age. 2. Advances radiotherapy techniques have allowed multiple...

The primary objective of the SKIN-COBRA (Consortium for Brachytherapy data Analysis) ontology is to define a specific terminological system standardize collection non-melanoma skin cancer patients treated with brachytherapy (BT, interventional radiotherapy). Through ontological characterization information, it possible find, isolate, organize, and integrate its meaning.SKIN-COBRA standardized consortium BT, including 8 centers. Its was firstly defined by multicentric multidisciplinary...

The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic is unprecedented as it reached all countries in the world within a record short period of time. Even though COVID-19 infection may be just severe any adults, older adults (65-year-old or older) experience higher mortality rate. Among those affected, cancer patients have worse outcome compared to general population because their depressed immune status. As health resources most are limited, clinicians face painful decisions about which save if...
