There are some controversies on the patient characteristic besides to the factors affecting the recurrence rate among different races. Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate clinicopathologic features of the tumor to discover the controversies on the topic. Methods: Medical data of the all referred patients to Motahari clinic from January 2010 till October 2020 were recorded. Patient clinicopathologic characteristics affecting on outcome were evaluated. By using SPSS software, data were tested by chi-square and fish exact test. Also, log rank test was used for survival analysis Results: Totally 145 patients were enrolled. 61.4% versus 38.6% of the patients underwent fertility sparing surgery and radical surgery respectively with common characteristics of mostly belong to stage 1A disease (61.8% vs. 66.1%), unilateral (93.3% vs. 89.3%), serous histology (51.7% vs. 66.1%). The characteristics were different in the aspects of age and tumor size. In the aspect of recurrence rate, higher FIGO stage, younger age, tumor size less than 10cm, performing laparoscopy and fertility sparing surgery were with higher rate of recurrence (P-value < 0.05) while histology type of the tumor, lateralization, micropapillary, microinvasion, noninvasive peritoneal implants, receiving adjuvant chemotherapy and performing lymphadenectomy were not statistically significant for recurrence (P-value > 0.05). Two patients had malignant transformation. Conclusions: Fertility sparing surgery and higher FIGO stages are with more recurrence rate in Borderline ovarian tumor patients. However, micropapillary, microinvasion were not significantly with higher recurrence rate in our study but they are challenging issues in border line ovarian tumors among different studies. Due to most prevalence of border line ovarian tumors in young women and desire of fertility preservation, we should notice more to clinicopathologic and surgery types affecting on recurrence of BOTs.","PeriodicalId":44764,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cancer Management","volume":"11 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74625197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: The present study aimed at determining the epidemiology, incidence, and survival rate of chondrosarcoma in the Iranian population, according to the Iran National Cancer Registry (INCR). Methods: In an epidemiological study, patients with limb chondrosarcoma were evaluated based on INCR data between 2008 and 2015. Data included patients’ demographic characteristics, date of diagnosis, location of the tumor, patient’s survival, and type of tumor based on the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O-3; first revision, third edition) were collected and analyzed. Results: Out of 732 enrolled patients, 425 patients (58.06%) were male and 307 (41.94%) were female with a mean age of 44.08 (SD = 19.31) and 45.06 (SD = 18.72), respectively. Age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) were 1.73 and 1.27 per 1 million person-years for males and females, respectively. Conventional chondrosarcoma was the most common subtype with ASIR 1.28 and constituted 84.7% of patients with chondrosarcoma. About 71.03% of all Chondrosarcoma patients (70.35% of males and 71.99% of females) were between 20 to 59 years old. The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year survival rates of patients were 0.87, 0.73, 0.57, and 0.47, respectively. Also, the mean survival time was 6.12 years (95% CI: 5.85 - 7.39). Conclusions: The incidence of chondrosarcoma in Iran is not as high as in other countries, but as patients are younger in Iran, the survival rate is worse compared to other countries. Therefore, better case findings and better care are needed to improve the patients' outcomes in Iran.","PeriodicalId":44764,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cancer Management","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81334212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, they are prioritized for vaccination. However, there is limited data about the immunogenicity, safety, and effectiveness of inactivated vaccines in preventing COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality in patients with cancer. Objectives: This study aimed to report the clinical characteristics of patients who had a positive PCR test after being fully vaccinated with the Sinopharm BIBP Vaccine. Methods: In this retrospective study, the data of patients with cancer were extracted from the electronic health records of a cancer center in Isfahan, Iran. All COVID-19 data from Isfahan province also was collected by Isfahan COVID-19 Registry (I-CORE). We described the clinical characteristics of patients with cancer who have a positive test more than14 days after the second dose. Results: Two hundred twenty-two patients with cancer had at least one positive PCR test after the start of the COVID-19 vaccination. Of these, 9 (4.1%) breakthrough infections have occurred. Six (67%) of them had hematological malignancies. Six (67%) were hospitalized and 3 (33%) patients died. Two of them had recent chemotherapy and have hematological malignancies. Conclusions: Vaccination is a good way to protect the population from COVID-19 complications and mortality, but it should be considered that fully-vaccinated patients with cancer are at risk of severe outcomes. Nevertheless, prioritizing cancer patients, especially those with hematological malignancies, or receiving chemotherapies for booster vaccines and studying the effectiveness of each COVID-19 vaccine for patients with cancer should be considered.","PeriodicalId":44764,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cancer Management","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72513298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: This study aimed at investigating the effect of body mass index (BMI) and genetic variation of leptin and adiponectin on serum concentrations of leptin, adiponectin, and estradiol among untreated breast cancer. Methods: This case-control study was performed on 350 women (175 women with breast cancer and 175 healthy controls), who had not taken any medications. Serum levels of estradiol (17-beta estradiol), leptin, and adiponectin were measured, using the ELISA technique. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of leptin gene (LepG2548A), leptin receptor (Q223, K109R, and K656N), and adiponectin gene (T45G, G276T, C11377G, and 11391A) in blood-isolated DNA were evaluated, using RFLP-PCR technique. Results: Body mass index can affect serum concentrations of hormones and is associated with breast cancer. Also, except for adiponectin C11377G polymorphism, other all genetic variations showed significant relationships with breast cancer. In both groups, BMI was significantly correlated with the mean serum concentrations of hormones, and the risk of breast cancer increased in G2548A, Q223R, K656N, and G276T polymorphisms. The effect of risk allele genotypes on serum concentration of hormones showed that changes in serum concentration of estrogen and leptin in all studied polymorphisms were associated with breast cancer in postmenopausal women. But adiponectin level was only affected by polymorphisms K109R, K656N, and G276 and G11391A. Conclusions: High BMI and genetic variation can affect cancer development by changing the serum concentrations of hormones in different genotypes.

Objectives: This study was performed to compare the eosinophil and mast cell counts in the cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the head and neck and to evaluate their relationship with clinicopathologic factors. Methods: The current descriptive-analytical study was conducted on the histopathologic slides of 46 BCC and 30 cSCC samples prepared by using Sirius red and toluidine blue staining techniques for eosinophil and mast cell counts, respectively. The data were analyzed, using Pearson’s correlation, t test, and ANOVA test. Results: The BCC and cSCC samples had mean eosinophil counts of 35.43 ± 35 and 331.27 ± 321.68 eosinophil/10 HPF, respectively, and this difference was statistically significant (P = 0.001). The levels of the mast cell infiltration were obtained as 55.33 ± 39.90 and 63.67 ± 40.86 in BCC and cSCC, respectively. However, this variable was not significantly different between the two groups of BCC and cSCC samples (P = 0.380). In addition, the mean eosinophil and mast cell counts were higher in cSCC grade 3 than in other grades; however, this difference was statistically significant only for the mast cells. Furthermore, the mean eosinophil/mast cell count in cSCC and BCC showed no significant relationship with age and gender. Conclusions: Considering the greater presence of eosinophils in cSCC than in BCC, eosinophils may be concluded to be among the factors responsible for more biologically and clinically invasive behaviors of cSCC, compared to those of BCC.","PeriodicalId":44764,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cancer Management","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88596790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the oncolytic activity of the mumps virus RS-12 strain after its adaptation to cancer cells via serial passaging. Methods: To adapt the RS-12 strain-based vaccine to cancer cells, it was passaged eight times in the HT1080 cell line and was isolated via two terminal endpoint dilutions. The genetic homogeneity of isolated cancer cell-adapted RS-12 variant was confirmed by direct sequencing of regions, encompassing four known heterogeneous genomic positions. The in vitro cytotoxic effects of viruses was assessed in two different cancer cell lines using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The apoptosis-inducing effects of the cancer cell-adapted variant and its parental virus on cancer cells were quantified by flow cytometry. Results: According to the chromatograms, the RS-12 strain vaccine seed exhibited two peaks at the genomic nucleotide positions 1591, 2417, 3774, and 12977. On the contrary, cancer cell-adapted RS-12, isolated by terminal endpoint serial dilutions, contained no viral subpopulations in these positions. A significant improvement was observed in the oncolytic potency of our cancer cell-adapted variant compared to its parental virus vaccine seed in vitro. Besides, the variant efficiently induced apoptosis in the human fibrosarcoma and adenocarcinoma cell lines. Conclusions: Considering the increased oncolytic potency and apoptosis-inducing capacity of this variant in cancer cells, it can be a promising option for future experiments.","PeriodicalId":44764,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cancer Management","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78044190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rs5745687 SNPs in the introns of the HGF gene could affect the splicing and expression of HGF mRNA. Objectives: In this study, the genotype frequency of rs5745687 in breast cancer (BC) and gastric cancer (GC) (positive helicobacter) patients has been investigated and compared with the healthy controls in the Isfahan population. Methods: Firstly, initial bioinformatics studies were done. Then, according to the results, bioinformatics High-Resolution Melt (HRM) and Real-Time PCR were recruited to determine genotypes rs5745678 for 432 participants in the case-control analysis (84 GC with 126 healthy control samples, as well as 111 BC cases with 111 normal controls). The conditional logistic regression model was used to measure odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) to produce these cancers based on genotype frequency. Results: The homozygote genotype of the mutant (G) allele of rs5745678 has a significant association with the lower risk of gastric cancer (P-value < 0.0001) and this allele can increase the risk of GC in a co-dominant model (OR: 5.541, P-value < 0.0001). Also, the rs5745678 SNP had a significant association with the clinicopathological features (age, smoking, H. Pylori infection) in GC patients. Conclusions: The presence of a single G allele in rs5745678 heterozygote (AG/AA) and co-dominant (AG/AA+GG) models could significantly impact GC pathogenicity in different ways.
