Gastritis(51%), duodenitis(22%) and hiatus hernia(9%) were the leading endoscopy diagnoses. Esophageal growth was 3 times more common in females(p=0.009). Growth in stomach was reported in 2.3% patients. Carcinoma stomach was significantly higher in age above 40 years(p=0.0009). There was a positive correlation between Ca stomach and increasing age. The cumulative frequencies of gastric cancer by age group were as follows: 7 of 1000 OGDs in patients less than 40 years of age and 40 of 1000…

Squamous cell carcinomas of the lungs, head and neck, esophagus, and cervix account for over 400,000 deaths per year. Finding a way to effectively treat this type of cancer is very important for the well being of people. In this primary research article, the authors attempt to find a mechanism by which squamous cell carcinoma proliferation and invasion are inhibited. They use the cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), which is a tumor suppressor, to show that it is possible to prevent squamous cell…

Platinum based medicine (for example Carboplatin or cisplatin) is negatively charged, but when in a cancer cell it becomes positively charged (due to the fact that the chloride ions are replaced with water molecules). Since water molecules are easily displaced, the platinum based compound is allowed to attach to the cell’s DNA, it then forms cross links…
