Protein Expression in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer and Associated Clinicopathological Factors in Uganda.

gene dysfunction seen in epithelial ovarian carcinomas often results from germline mutations, somatic mutations, and promoter methylation. Identification of tumors with loss of protein expression has shown to have therapeutic and prognostic implications. The aim of this study was to determine the expression of protein in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and the associated clinicopathological characteristics.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and cytogenetic abnormalities among people with HIV.

Objective: To compare cytogenetic abnormalities among people living with HIV (PLWH) with and without previous exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) (both latent tuberculosis infection [LTBI] and active tuberculosis [TB]).

Methods: Adult PLWH (≥18 years) were randomly selected at three HIV clinics in Uganda. Previous active TB was confirmed in the clinics' TB records.

Prognostic Factors for Overall Survival of Patients with Prostate Cancer in Kyadondo County, Uganda.

Background: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men globally. A few studies that have been done in Uganda on survival of patients with prostate cancer indicate that, the overall survival of patients with prostate cancer in Uganda is poor. The aim of this study was to determine the 3-year overall survival rate of a cohort of patients with prostate cancer residing in Kyadondo County who were diagnosed from 2012 to 2014.
