Expression Genomics of Cervical Cancer: Molecular Classification and Prediction of Radiotherapy Response by DNA Microarray
Purpose The incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer are declining in the United States; however, worldwide, cervical cancer is still one of the leading causes of death in women, second only to breast cancer. This disparity is at least partially explained by the absence of or comparatively ineffective screening programs in the developing world. Recent advances in expression genomics have ...

Prediction of chemotherapeutic response in ovarian cancer with DNA microarray expression profiling
Abstract Ovarian carcinoma is a leading cause of gynecologic cancer death in women. Despite treatment, a large number of women with ovarian cancer eventually relapse and die of the disease. Hence, recurrent ovarian cancer continues to be a therapeutic dilemma, possibly a result of the emergence of drug resistance during relapse. Recent advances in expression genomics enable global transcript ...

How does your Vaginal Microbiome Affect your Cancer Risk?
When you hear about the vaginal microbiome (VMB), your first thought may be the role it plays in stuff like yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis (BV). But with improved research, we’re uncovering more of the VMB’s long-term effects, like its role in a healthy pregnancy and delivery. The complex community of organisms living in your vagina even plays a part in your risk of ...

HPV-16 E7-Specific Cellular Immune Response
HPV-16 E7-Specific Cellular Immune Response in Women With Cervical Intraepithelial Lesion Contributes to Viral Clearance: A Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Clinical Study High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the cause of almost all cervical cancers. HPV16 is one of the main risk subtypes. Although screening programs have greatly reduced the prevalence of cervical cancer in ...

Novel Tumor Bed Marking in Breast Cancer: Expanding Beyond Lumpectomy
VeraForm® placement to assist with localization and delivery of adjuvant radiation Historically, lumpectomies resulted in a scar immediately over the lumpectomy site, dictating delivery of adjuvant radiation on scar location, and frequently on the presence of a seroma. Currently, the question persists as to the optimal means to help direct the radiation oncologist to effectively deliver ...

Myths vs Facts: HPV and Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer affecting and causing deaths among women in India. Cervical cancer is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV. The lower part of the uterus known as Cervix is affected due to HPV infection. This cancer develops very slowly and most of the times is asymptomatic during the development stage. HPV infection is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) ...

Immobilising of anti-HPV18 and E. coli O157:H7 antibodies on magnetic silica-coated Fe
3O4for early diagnosis of cervical cancer and diarrhoeThis paper presents the synthesis and properties of magnetic silica-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Uncoated Fe3O4 nanoparticles with an average diameter of 9-16 nm and saturation magnetisation of around 66 emu/g were first prepared by co-precipitation method. After being coated by SiO2 using the sol-gel method, the diameters of the coated particles ranged from 29 nm to 230 nm and their corresponding ...

Addressing the cervical cancer burden in developing countries: Vietnam as a case study
Like most global diseases, the burden of the cervical cancer is borne primarily by women in less developed nations. In Vietnam, the government and certain private players are attempting to address the high mortality and morbidity rates of the disease. Vietnam promises to be an example of a relatively effective government approach for tackling cervical cancer that other similarly situated nations ...

Single cell imaging with AFM using Biochip/Bioimprint technology
Atomic Force Microscopy has been used to investigate and characterise endometrial cancer cells and LH-secreting cells, namely gonadotrophs, of the pituitary. Using nanoscale resolution of the AFM features associated with exocytosis events in each cell type are imaged and presented as foundation for further development and understanding of exocytosis process. Membrane fusion and secretion are ...

The correlation of hypersensitivity for HRS/IRR and the 'inverse' dose-rate effect – its potential influence on LDR brachytherapy: a review
The 'Inverse' Dose-Rate Effect (IDRE) has been extensively studied (Leonard, 2000; 2007a; Leonard and Lucas, 2008a?b). We here consolidate these results. We have shown a correlation between Hyper-radiosensitivity and the Induced Radioresistance effect (HRS/IRR), and IDRE has the same threshold and transition behaviours. This supports a conclusion that IDRE is the dose-rate manifestation of ...
