Purpose:
The objective was to develop an Arabic version of the Cancer Behavior Inventory-Brief (CBI-B).
Methods:
The CBI-B was translated into Arabic using two forward and back translations. A translation validity index (TVI) was computed from review by an expert panel.
Results:
Both back translations had issues with word choice, grammar, and meaning, which were resolved by selecting items from each forward translation. Item TVI was 0.83-1.0, with an overall mean of 0.95.
Conclusion:
The Arabic version of the CBI-B (CBI-BA) has acceptable evidence of translation validity. Two rounds of forward and back translation of the CBI-BA were needed to ensure semantic equivalence of the CBI-BA with the original instrument. Further psychometric testing with cognitive interviewing is recommended.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
