Environmental risk factors of Wilms tumour: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Wilms tumour (WT) is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in children. Elucidating modifiable risk factors is crucial in identifying venues for primary prevention of the disease. This study aimed to review literature and synthesize environmental risk factors for WT.

microRNAs Regulate Survivin in Colorectal Cancer Patients.

Background: Impaired levels of surviving are associate with increased survival of tumor cells. In this study, we intended to profile the microRNAs (miRNAs) targeting survivin in the tumoral and marginal tissues obtained from Iranian patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).

Materials And Methods: Fifty CRC patients of Iranian Azari ethnicity were recruited.

Risk factors for childhood brain tumours: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies from 1976 to 2022.

Background: Childhood brain tumours (CBTs) are the leading cause of cancer death in children under the age of 20 years globally. Though the aetiology of CBT remains poorly understood, it is thought to be multifactorial. We aimed to synthesize potential risk factors for CBT to inform primary prevention.

Providing Suggested Rules for Multiple Primary Cancer Recording, Coding and Registering in Population-based Cancer Registry.

Background: Multiple primary cancers (MPC) present many coding difficulties, while a distinction should be made between new cases and those with metastasis and/or extension and recurrence of the primary ones. We aimed to reflect on the experiences and results of data quality control of the East Azerbaijan/Iran Population-Based Cancer Registry and present our suggested rules for reporting, recording and registering multiple primary cancer.

Methods: Comparability, validity, timeliness, and completeness of data assessment were performed.
