Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

331
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

6.3K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.5K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Observational Studies

8.2K
Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data01:25

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data

316
Epidemiological data primarily involves information on specific populations' occurrence, distribution, and determinants of health and diseases. This data is crucial for understanding disease patterns and impacts, aiding public health decision-making and disease prevention strategies. The analysis of epidemiological data employs various statistical methods to interpret health-related data effectively. Here are some commonly used methods:

Cancer Stem Cells and Tumor Maintenance02:40

Cancer Stem Cells and Tumor Maintenance

4.9K
Early diagnosis and treatment can often cure cancer. However, even with treatment, residual cells called cancer stem cells (CSC) might remain, often causing tumor recurrence. These cancer stem cells possess the potential for self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation and are often responsible for the therapeutic resistance displayed in most cancers.
Cancer stem cells are thought to originate from tissue-specific normal stem cells or progenitor cells. The normal stem cells usually reside in...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Balochistan, Pakistan's fourth most populous region, has an estimated annual population of 13.9 million.
  • The population comprises 48.7% children, 10.3% adolescents, and 40.9% adults.
  • Males constitute 52.6% of the population, while females make up 47.4%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively evaluate cancer distribution in Balochistan from 2020 to 2022.
  • To compute the proportional distribution of commonly diagnosed cancers by age category.
  • To establish a foundation for future cancer statistics evaluation and surveillance in the region.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of cancer data from 2020 to 2022.
  • Data collected from collaborating centers: Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center, and Chughtai Lab.
  • Proportional distribution of cancers calculated across pediatric, adolescent, and adult populations.

Main Results:

  • A total of 6,492 malignancies were recorded in Balochistan between 2020 and 2022.
  • In children (3.3%), Hodgkin lymphomas were most common (20.1%).
  • In adolescents (3.3%), non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) were most common (19.6%).
  • In adults (93.4%), breast tumors were the most prevalent (17.5%).

Conclusions:

  • This is the first regional cancer registration report for Balochistan.
  • Cancer counts were relatively low during the study period.
  • Findings provide a baseline for longitudinal cancer surveillance and emphasize the need for increased stakeholder awareness regarding cancer impact in the region.
