Overweight and obesity in the pediatric population remains a growing worldwide health burden. The extent to which this trend extends to childhood cancer survivors (CCS) remains less well explored. We conducted a retrospective observational study from a single institution in Saudi Arabia to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obese status among CCS over a five-year period. Read More

Insights in RNA biology have opened up a plethora of opportunities to explore the small regulatory RNAs from various natural and artificial sources. These small RNAs have been suggested to play a role too in tumor progression by either as oncogenic or tumor suppressor small RNAs. In this study, authors have attempted to evaluate the therapeutic potential of small RNAs fractionated from corn (Zea mays) upon growth and survival of HeLa. Read More

The growing incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in the world seems to be related to the spread of Westernized lifestyles, particularly dietary habits. Several studies have found that high consumption of red meat-especially processed red meat, a mainstay of Western diets-is associated with an increased risk of developing CRC. One possible reason for the association are the adverse effects exerted by the heme iron contained in red meat, which has the potential to affect homeostasis and colonic epithelial cell renewal and to promote the formation of mutagenic and carcinogenic agents.

Purpose: To examine the impact of ethnicity, Spanish language preference, socioeconomic status, and treatment setting on utilization of supportive services before radiotherapy (RT) among head and neck cancer patients and to determine whether a lack of these services is associated with an increased rate of adverse events.
Methods And Materials: Demographic, staging, and treatment details were retrospectively collected for patients treated at a safety-net hospital (n = 56) or adjacent private academic hospital (n = 183) from January 1, 2014, to June 30, 2016. Supportive care services evaluated were limited to speech/swallowing therapy and nutrition therapy. Read More

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly aggressive and chemoresistant liver malignancy. Thus, identification of strategies to overcome insensitivity to apoptosis and growth inhibition is a growing focus of research in this malignancy. This study evaluated the potential anti-cancer effects of an ethanol extract from the Actinidia arguta (Hardy Kiwi) root (RAE) on CCA. Read More

Background: Weight loss during chemoradiotherapy is a major problem in patients with head and neck cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ONS on weight, nutritional status and quality of life (QOL) in patients with loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) undergoing chemoradiotherapy.
Methods: Patients with locally advanced NPC treated at a tertiary hospital in China prior to curative chemoradiotherapy were eligible for this exploratory randomized study. Read More

The study aimed to explore the relationship of microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) exon 3 (Tyr113His) and exon 4 (His139Arg) polymorphisms and predicted mEH activity with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) risk. 482 histologically confirmed cases and equal number of matched controls were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Conditional logistic regression models were used to examine the association of polymorphisms with ESCC. Read More

Lung fibrosis is a lethal interstitial disease characterized by massive proliferation of fibroblast inducing excessive collagen deposition. We aimed to investigate whether Date palm sap (DPS) can play a protective effect on bleomycin (BLM)-induced lung fibrosis in rats. MaleWistar rats were given single dose of BLM (4 mg/kg, intra-tracheal), while DPS (45 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) was administered three days later and continued for three weeks (BLM/DPS group).

Objective: Gastric cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer-related mortality and the fifth most common cancer globally. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are considered as functional ingredients that improve the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of PUFAs administration on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Read More
