Methods: Data on 17792 bladder cancer patients and risk factors available at province level were used in Bayesian ecological setting. First, the overall and province-specific trends of risk were estimated. Then the effects of cigarette smoking, being overweight, fruits and vegetables consumption, and low levels of physical activity on trend were examined. The province-specific effects of significant factors were also assessed. The data were analyzed using R-INLA package. Results: The risk of developing bladder cancer was decreasing in Iran, 2004 - 2008 (RR = 0.95). Guilan and Semnan had the highest 5-year incidence (RR > 1.5). However, the risk increase compared to country Risk was the highest in East Azerbaijan and Tehran (DT > 0.1). Also direct and reverse association between smoking and fruit consumption and bladder cancer risk were established. Guilan, Semnan, Sistan and Baluchestan, and Ilam were the provinces affected the most by these factors. Conclusions: This study confirms previous findings and provides further evidence on protective effects of fruit consumption in bladder cancer. The results would be of value for governors to prioritize the province-specific demands on research, education, and improvements with respect to the identified risk factors.","PeriodicalId":73510,"journal":{"name":"Iranian journal of cancer prevention","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45170962","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: We aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of positive peritoneal cytology (PPC) in patients with early stage endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Methods: Medical profiles of patients with uterine carcinoma referring to Imam Khomeini hospital and Mirza Koochak Khan hospital between September, 2005 and December, 2011 have been reviewed. Patients had a complete staging procedure and peritoneal cytology evaluation. Results: Among 220 patients with mean age of 56.3 ± 9.1 years, 204 were Negative for peritoneal cytology (NPC) and 16 showed PPC. In the group of patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma, 125 were in stage I and 32 were in stage II. Univariate analysis on patients with endometrioid adenocacinoma revealed that stage II (OR = 7.12, 95% CI = 2.95-22.10, P value < 0.001), stage III (OR = 8.04, 95% CI = 2.14 - 30.09, P value < 0.001), stage IV (OR = 58.09, 95% CI = 13.74 - 245.66, P value < 0.001), recurrence of either intra (OR = 32.65, 95% CI = 12.2 - 86.7, P value < 0.001) or extra pelvic (OR = 14.54, 95% CI = 4.4 - 47.7, P value < 0.001), and the number of lymph nodes involvement (OR = 5.59, 95% CI = 2.5 - 12.51, P value < 0.001) were significantly associated with survival. Also, patients with PPC had significantly poorer survival compared to those with negative peritoneal cytology; 38% Vs 88% were alive after 5 years (P value < 0.0001). Mean 5-year survival in PPC and NPC patients were 3.31 years and 4.74 years, respectively. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that positive peritoneal cytology is an independent prognostic factor in patients with early stage endometrioid adenocarcinoma. We propound that peritoneal cytology adds back into the future FIGO staging criteria revision. Until then, peritoneal washings should still be considered as an important part for accurate risk-stratification.","PeriodicalId":73510,"journal":{"name":"Iranian journal of cancer prevention","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46157873","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}

Bandehpour","doi":"10.5812/IJCP.5792","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5812/IJCP.5792","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Combination cancer therapy is a promising strategy which employs multiple therapeutic agents with different mechanisms of action along with minimal intolerable side effects. For example, a combination of radiotherapy with gene therapy can overcome the development of resistance to therapeutic doses of irradiation (IR) and normal tissue damages caused by high-dose radiation. Recent studies have revealed radio-resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. In this study, for the first time, subunit B of cytolethal distending toxin (cdtB)-expressing plasmid was introduced as a sensitizer of the cells to IR with a high efficacy. Methods: A vector expressing cdtB suicide gene of human periodontal bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans was constructed and then transfected into A549 cell line. In the next step, cells transfected with pcDNA3.1/cdtB were irradiated and its growth inhibitory effect was evaluated in NSCLC cancer in vitro by MTT (3-(4, 5-methylthiazol-2-yl) -2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) assay. Terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay were carried out in order to examine the apoptosis induction by a combination of IR with cdtB. Results: Our data indicated significant cell death in NSCLC cells in comparison with controls with an increase from 5% in response to IR up to 73.27% for combination of IR with cdtB. Moreover, the result of TUNEL assay showed significant differences in the number of apoptotic cells among the different affected groups. Conclusions: Our results confirmed that cdtB-expressing plasmid sensitizes NSCLC cells to IR and significantly increases the efficacy of radiotherapy and therefore, combining toxin with IR has a synergistic effect on NSCLC.","PeriodicalId":73510,"journal":{"name":"Iranian journal of cancer prevention","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49101459","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}

She had no known history of chronic illness or exposure to radiation or myelotoxic drugs. Physical examination showed the existence of generalized lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. Section of the biopsy core disclosed a diffuse infiltration of lymphoid cells with hyperchromic irregular nuclei and scant cytoplasm in the background. Immunohistochemical staining for CD20 in lymphoid cells and CD68 in blastic cells were positive but it was negative for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT). The flow cytometric immunophenotyping analysis was performed in the presence of CD5 positive B-cell population (CD19; CD20 dim; CD23 and CD5/CD19) with small cell size that comprised 76% of cells with abnormal phenotype was revealed. Simultaneous occurrence of CLL and AML M5 was confirmed in the patients.
