Background: BRCA1 gene dysfunction seen in epithelial ovarian carcinomas often results from germline mutations, somatic and promoter methylation. Identification of tumors with loss protein expression has shown to have therapeutic prognostic implications. The aim this study was determine the cancer (EOC) associated clinicopathological characteristics. Methods Results: This a cross‐sectional laboratory‐based that used paraffin‐embedded tissue blocks patients histologically diagnosed EOC...

Background: Gastric cancer ranks as the 5th most common worldwide and is 3rd leading cause of deaths, responsible for approximately 783,000 deaths annually. In Uganda, its incidence has risen from 0.8 per 100,000 people in 1960 to 9 2014. Although vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein expression critical gastric management, prevalence Ugandan patients unknown. Objective: This study aimed determine VEGF investigate related clinicopathological features at Makerere University...
