Cognitive impairments experienced by cancer survivors, from time of diagnosis through the health trajectory, are distressing, persistent, and negatively impact everyday function and quality of life. While reports of cancer- and treatment-related cognitive concerns vary substantially and may be
Objective: The fact that fibromyalgia and migraine are more common in women of reproductive age and their incidence are higher than other populations suggests that these three diseases may have a common genetic basis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between ESR-1
Human papilloma virus-related oropharynx cancer is increasing in incidence and is now the most common indication for LASCCHN CRT. It more commonly affects younger patients without other comorbidities and is associated with high rates of cure. This creates a survivorship dilemma, as these patients
The study will include three groups with a total of 120 participants: A) Forty testicular cancer patients will be included and examined 1) shortly after orchiectomy and prior to any further treatment and 2) at 6 months' follow- up. B) Forty prostate cancer patients will be included and examined at
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

II. Determine the effectiveness of
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Determine the initial efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) in reducing chronic pain in women following treatment for breast cancer.

I. Determine if EA produces greater improvement in physical functional mobility as compared to sham electroacupuncture (SEA)
- Platinum derivatives and their toxicity Cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin are major cytotoxic agents used in the treatment of many types of cancer. They exert their cytotoxic action by forming DNA adducts. However, their structural differences confer different pharmacokinetic and
Breast cancer is the most common cancer amongst women worldwide, with a lifetime risk of 7-8% in women and incidence rates ranging from 19.3-89.7 per 100,000 women in developing and developed countries. More than 1,383,500 cases of invasive breast cancer are estimated to be diagnosed worldwide,and
5 Introduction Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by i) a hypokinetic movement disorder which defines MSA of the parkinsonian type (MSA-P) or by ii) cerebellar symptoms which define MSA of the cerebellar type (MSA-C). In both types
