Adverse effects of androgen deprivation therapy in patients with prostate cancer: Focus on metabolic complications
(2017)Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the most effective treatment for this disease. The cornerstone of the treatment of prostate cancer is inhibition of testosterone ... -
Adverse effects of androgen deprivation therapy in patients with prostate cancer: Focus on muscle and bone health
(2020)Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the most effective systemic treatment for prostate cancer and can be succeeded either surgically or pharmaceutically. Both approaches lead to hypogonadism with a large variety of adverse ... -
Alterations of microRNAs in solid cancers and their prognostic value
(2010)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved, naturally abundant, small, regulatory non-coding RNAs that inhibit gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in a sequence-specific manner. Each miRNA represses the ... -
Application of efficient nanoparticles for early diagnosis and treatment of cancer
(2015)Cancer is considered as a prevalent cause of human deaths and undoubtedly, is the most complex disease with multiple cellular physiological systems involved. During the last decade, the application of nanotechnological ... -
Bone metastasis classification using whole body images from prostate cancer patients based on convolutional neural networks application
(2020)Bone metastasis is one of the most frequent diseases in prostate cancer; scintigraphy imaging is particularly important for the clinical diagnosis of bone metastasis. Up to date, minimal research has been conducted regarding ... -
Bortezomib reverses the proliferative and antiapoptotic effect of neuropeptides on prostate cancer cells
(2012)Objectives: Neuropeptides are important signal initiators in advanced prostate cancer, partially acting through activation of nuclear factor kappa B. Central to nuclear factor kappa B regulation is the ubiquitin-proteasome ... -
Cancer-associated stroke: Pathophysiology, detection and management (Review)
(2019)Numerous types of cancer have been shown to be associated with either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. In this review, the epidemiology and pathophysiology of stroke in cancer patients is discussed, while providing vital ... -
Current evidence on the effect of dietary polyphenols intake on chronic diseases
(2017)Polyphenols are secondary metabolites of plants. They comprise several antioxidant compounds and they are generally considered to be involved in the defense against human chronic diseases. During the last years, there has ... -
Development of Convolutional Neural Networks to identify bone metastasis for prostate cancer patients in bone scintigraphy
(2020)Objective: The main aim of this work is to build a robust Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm that efficiently and quickly classifies bone scintigraphy images, by determining the presence or absence of prostate ... -
Dietary factors and supplements influencing prostate specific-antigen (PSA) concentrations in men with prostate cancer and increased cancer risk: An evidence analysis review based on randomized controlled trials
(2020)The quest for dietary patterns and supplements efficient in down-regulating prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations among men with prostate cancer (PCa) or increased PCa risk has been long. Several antioxidants, ... -
Drug-induced endocrinopathies and diabetes: A combo-endocrinology overview
(2019)In the currently overwhelming era of polypharmacy, the balance of the dynamic and delicate endocrine system can easily be disturbed by interfering pharmaceutical agents like medications. Drugs can cause endocrine abnormalities ... -
Efficient bone metastasis diagnosis in bone scintigraphy using a fast convolutional neural network architecture
(2020)(1) Background: Bone metastasis is among diseases that frequently appear in breast, lung and prostate cancer; the most popular imaging method of screening in metastasis is bone scintigraphy and presents very high sensitivity ... -
FGF-2 and HGF reverse abiraterone’s effect οn intracellular levels of DHT in androgen-dependent and androgen independent prostate cancer cell lines
(2020)Purpose: Growth factors such as fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) appear at high levels in prostate cancer (PC). Abiraterone is an androgen biosynthesis inhibitor which is currently in ... -
Focal therapy for prostate cancer: patient selection and evaluation
(2012)Recent stage migration toward low-risk prostate cancer, overtreament of biologically insignificant tumors with radical prostatectomy at the additional expense of a non-negligible morbidity and undertreatment of patients ... -
Frequency and predictors of chemotherapy-associated venous thromboembolism: The prospective PREVENT study
(2020)Background: Our knowledge on the burden of symptomatic and asymptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy is limited. The aim of our study was to prospectively investigate the ... -
Global, regional, and national age-sex specifc mortality for 264 causes of death, 1980-2016: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016
(2017)Background: Monitoring levels and trends in premature mortality is crucial to understanding how societies can address prominent sources of early death. The Global Burden of Disease 2016 Study (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive ... -
How can we effectively address the paraneoplastic dermatomyositis: Diagnosis, risk factors and treatment options
(2017)Purpose: Dermatomyositis (DM) represents an auto-immune inflammatory myopathy. In this review, we analyzed the incidence of DM as a clinical manifestation highlighting the peculiar clinical and treatment characteristics ... -
Late results of a randomized trial on the role of mild hypofractionated radiotherapy for the treatment of localized prostate cancer
(2020)Background: Prostate cancer is considered to be highly sensitive to changes in radiation therapy dose per fraction, specifically to hypofractionation. An increase in the fractionation dose could cause a higher increase to ... -
