Filter by:As previously reported (IJC Heart & Vasculature 2017; 17: 11.), our epidemiological analysis showing high incidence of cancers in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases as compared with those with non-atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases may imply a clinical possibility of a role of atherosclerosis in cancer developments. In the present study, to address our hypothesis that cancer developments may come with a strength of atherosclerosis, we traced an incidence of cancers in a total of 8,856 patients with coronary artery diseases (CAD) for a median follow-up of 1,095 days (interquartile range, 719-1,469 days) using the Sakakibara Health Integrative Profile (SHIP) database.
The purpose of this study is to study the impact of Western lifestyle, including moderate alcohol consumption and delayed eating patterns on studying individuals' susceptibility to colorectal cancer. This study aims to increase our ability to identify individuals at risk for colorectal cancer in the future. Each subject will experience four conditions (each for one week in duration with a week +/- 2 days wash-out in between): (1) "right-time eating" / no alcohol, (2) "right-time eating" / with alcohol, (3) "delayed-eating" / no alcohol, (4) "delayed-eating" / with alcohol. The order of experiments will be randomized [concealed randomization]. All subjects will undergo unprepped sigmoidoscopy after each week of intervention. In Aim 2, all subjects will have an option to undergo a 24h circadian assessment in the Biological Rhythms Research Lab after each week of intervention. The Investigator will assess (i) central circadian rhythms by collecting hourly salivary samples for melatonin assays and (ii) peripheral rhythm in the intestinal tract by buccal swabs once every 2h (12 time points) as well as by rectal sampling twice (every 12 hr). For Aim 3, sigmoidoscopy without sedation will be used to obtain colonic samples as the safe method compared to colonoscopy, which has some small but finite risks associated with the procedure (e.g, bleeding or perforation) as well as sedation.
The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence rate of leukemia between CT-exposed and CT-unexposed group in patients who underwent appendectomy in South Korea.
This study aims to analyze the multi-omics results between uterine cervical adenocarcinoma patients with and without human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. The multi-omics profiles include genome wide association study (GWAS), whole exome sequencing, analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics. The HPV integration status is interpreted by GWAS. A comprehensive multi-omics will reveal the role of HPV integration in the molecular mechanism of tumorigenesis and prognosis of uterine cervical adenocarcinoma.
This study aims to analyze the multi-omics results between epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patient with different FIGO stages and pathological subtypes. The multi-omics profiles include whole exome sequencing, analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics. A comprehensive multi-omics will reveal the invasiveness and tumorigenesis of EOC.

Cancer is a devastating disease, presenting an immense disease burden to affected individuals and their families as well as health care systems with 10.9 million new cases and 6.7 million deaths per year. Approximately 12% of human cancers worldwide are caused by oncoviruses infection with more than 80% of cases occurring in the developing world. Tumor viruses can be classified into two groups based on their genetic material; 1. DNA tumor viruses: 1. Small DNA tumor viruses (Papilloma viruses, Polyoma viruses and adenoviruses). 2. Complex DNA tumor viruses (Herpes viruses and Hepatitis B viruses). 2. RNA tumor viruses ( Hepatitis C viruses and human T-cell leukemia virus "HTLV"). There are around 100 types of HPV, with different variations in their genetic and oncogenic potential [5]. Thus, HPV genotypes are divided into 2 groups based on their vulnerability; High risk HPV (HR-HPV) and low risk HPV (LR-HPV). The HPV genome encodes several oncoproteins [5]. E6 and E7 are the main genes responsible for cell transformation mediated by HR-HPV, and they modulate the activities of cellular proteins that regulate the cell cycle. Thus, the presence of E6/E7 can be a specific marker for diagnosing precancerous lesions by HPV. Knowledge of the etiology of virus-mediated carcinogenesis, the networking of pathways involved in the transition from infection to cancer and the risk factors associated with each type of cancer, all suggest prophylactic and therapeutic strategies that may reduce the risk of virus-mediated cancer.
A clinical study of the efficacy of oral alpha-difluoromethylornithine (eflornithine or DFMO) in male and female subjects ages 30-60 with gastric premalignant lesions in two high risk regions of Latin America.
This study will examine the extent to which lower doses of a broccoli-derived beverage enhance the detoxication of air pollutants excreted in urine as compared to an maximal dose shown to be effective previously.
To clarify the critical role of glycosyltransferases, altered Mucins, and RTKs in human ovarian and endometrial neoplasms, the study will examine the immunohistochemical expression profiles of glycosyltransferases, Mucins and receptor tyrosin kinases (RTKs) family in various stages and/or histologic subtypes of human ovarian and endometrial neoplasms and tissue microarrays.
