Open Access DOI:10.23937/2643-4563/1710015 Impact of the Number of Dissected Axillary Lymph Nodes on Survival in Breast Cancer Patients Emad Eldin Nabil, Ahmed M Maklad, Ashraf Elyamany, Emad Gomaa and Moamen M Ali Article Type: Research Article | First Published: June 05, 2019 For patients with breast cancer, axillary dissection was a standard treatment, especially with patient with positive metastases in the sentinel nodes. For some patients axillary dissection might be over-treatment, including those who have had a mastectomy. Especially with the new trend of many radiation-therapy centers, provide radiation-therapy for any number of positive lymph nodes. The aim of our work is to evaluate the impact of number of dissected axillary Lymph Nodes (LN), on Overall Survi...

This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of using different supraclavicular (SCV) field angles on the percentage volume of the dose absorbed by the thyroid relative to the maximum dose absorbed by the spinal cord. A total of 50 consecutive BC patients undergoing planning computed tomography (CT) were evaluated. The thyroid gland, spinal cord, an...

Open Access DOI:10.23937/IJOR-2017/1710007 Economic Costs of Lung Cancer in China Shaoyu Fan, Zhengzhong Mao, Anita H Lee and Teh-wei Hu Article Type: Case Report | First Published: September 29, 2018 The estimated total national medical cost of treating lung cancer patients in China was 64.21 billion RMB (US$ 10.31 billion), about 2% of total medical costs in 2015. Total lung cancer costs in 2015 were 488.53 billion RMB (US$ 78.42 billion), about 75% of which can be attributed to mortality costs. Two-thirds of the lung cancer patients in the sample were either current or former smokers. The major economic costs of lung cancer among smokers are preventable. China has a relatively low cigarett...

This technique localizes proteins and quantitates their levels of expression in cancer lesions, which facilitates objective analysis of protein levels. We used the PID nanoparticle assay to measure HER2 expression in formalin-fixed, para...
