Background: Cancer incidence rate is increasing in the world particularly in developing countries. The awareness regarding cancer incidence and distribution helps policy makers and researchers to design comprehensive plan for controlling cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence rate and trend of cancer in Isfahan area, one of the most importance provinces of Iran.
Methods: Data of Isfahan cancer registry were derived from 2005 to 2010. Direct standardization through world standard population produced by the world health organization was used and adjusted standard rate (ASR) was calculated. The Poisson regression analysis was employed to estimate cancer incidence trend during 5 years.
Results: The new cases of cancer were 24771 patients from 2005 to 2010. Mean age of these patients was 56.1 ± 18.0 years and 54.6% were male. Male patients were approximately 7 years older than females. The most frequent cancer was gastrointestinal in men and breast cancer in women. The rate of cancer increased approximately 4 per 1000 population and incidence rate ratio (IRR) was 1.004 (95%CI: 1.002-1.005).
Conclusions: The rate of cancer is increasing rapidly in Isfahan province. Cancer control and comprehensive prevention plan for Isfahan is necessary.

Aims: Unresectable cutaneous squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (HNcSCC) poses treatment challenges in elderly and comorbid patients. Radiation therapy (RT) is often employed for locoregional control. This study aimed to determine progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes achieved with upfront RT in unresectable HNcSCC.

Cancer grade classification is a challenging task identified from the cell structure of healthy and abnormal tissues. The partitioner learns about the malignant cell through the grading and plans the treatment strategy accordingly. A major portion of researchers used DL models for grade classification.

Collective migration of cancer cells is often interpreted using concepts derived from the physics of active matter, but the experimental evidence is mostly restricted to observations made in vitro. Here, we study collective invasion of metastatic cancer cells injected into the mouse deep dermis using intravital multiphoton microscopy combined with a skin window technique and three-dimensional quantitative image analysis. We observe a multicellular but low-cohesive migration mode characterized by rotational patterns which self-organize into antiparallel persistent tracks with orientational nematic order.

Malignant gliomas are heterogeneous tumors, mostly incurable, arising in the central nervous system (CNS) driven by genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic aberrations. Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1/2) enzymes are predominantly found in low-grade gliomas and secondary high-grade gliomas, with IDH1 mutations being more prevalent. Mutant-IDH1/2 confers a gain-of-function activity that favors the conversion of a-ketoglutarate (α-KG) to the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), resulting in an aberrant hypermethylation phenotype.
