Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) is one of the major complications of chemotherapy regimens commonly used in the treatment of solid and hematologic cancers. Given the high incidence of CIPN in antitumor therapies in patients and limited studies on antioxidants, this study was aimed to investigate the effect of Silybum marianum (SM) on cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Materials And Methods: This double-blind randomized clinical trial study was performed on 60 cancer patients treated with cisplatin chemotherapy at Seyyed-o-Shohada Hospital of Isfahan during 2019-2020.

Article Synopsis
  • Breast cancer affects about 10% of women, and this study examines a new method for predicting its recurrence using gene expression data.
  • The research involved multiple steps including data collection, clustering, and classification using various algorithms like random forest and neural networks, applied to a dataset of 12,172 genes and 200 samples.
  • The study identified 30 key genes for classification, finding that the combination of random forest and k-means clustering yielded the best performance, particularly in identifying high-risk cases.
