...Show More Authors

Abstract Background:Breast cancer is the most common female cancer worldwide. Although mastectomy is considered the treatment of choice for the majority of cases of breast cancer; a noticeable percentage of breast cancer survivors claim they were never advised about reconstruction. It has been proven that breast reconstruction helps breast cancer survivors to overcome the trauma of their diagnosis and improve their psychological well-being.Objectives: To assess the level of awareness and expectations regarding breast reconstruction surgery among female with breast cancer survivors in Baghdad, and to find if there is association between sociodemographic data and expectations of breast reconstruction.Methodology: This is a cross sectional study that included 120 breast-cancer survivors and has been conducted in Medical City/ Oncology teaching hospital during the periodfrom 1st of May 2022 to the 30th of September 2022. A questionnaire-based patient interview was employed as the data collection method. The questionnaire consisted of two parts. The first part collected sociodemographic information, upon which a socioeconomic score was calculated. The second part of the questionnaire consisted of six sections assessing: expectations of medical team, expectations of pain, expectations of coping, expectations of appearance, expectations of implants, and expectations of abdominal function. Results: A statistically significant association was detected between the following: 1- Expectations of medical team and both education and socioeconomic status. 2-Expectations of pain and both education and socioeconomic status.3-Expectations of coping and each of age, occupation and socioeconomic status.4-Expectations of appearance and each of education, occupation and socioeconomic status.5-Expectations of implants and each of education, occupation and socioeconomic status.6-Expectations of abdominal function and occupation.Conclusion: More than half Iraqi women who underwent mastectomy due to breast cancer are of low socioeconomic status. Regarding their expectations toward breast reconstruction, the majority had good expectations of medical team, fair expectation of pain, good expectations of coping, good expectations of appearance, fair expectations of implants, with expectations of abdominal function varying between individuals. Although higher socioeconomic status was a predictor of better expectations regarding medical team, coping, and appearance; meanwhile, it was a predictor of poorer expectation concerning pain and implants.Key word: Breast reconstruction surgery, Awareness and expectation, Breast cancer.

Evaluation of the Influence of Body Mass Index and Signal-to-Noise Ratio on the PET/CT Image Quality in Iraqi Patients with Liver Cancer
...Show More Authors

Image quality has been estimated and predicted using the signal to noise ratio (SNR). The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between body mass index (BMI) and SNR measurements in PET imaging using patient studies with liver cancer. Three groups of 59 patients (24 males and 35 females) were divided according to BMI. After intravenous injection of 0.1 mCi of 18F-FDG per kilogram of body weight, PET emission scans were acquired for (1, 1.5, and 3) min/bed position according to the weight of patient. Because liver is an organ of homogenous metabolism, five region of interest (ROI) were made at the same location, five successive slices of the PET/CT scans to determine the mean uptake (signal) values and its standard deviat

Review Article: DNA Methylation in Cancer Immunity
...Show More Authors

Background: The transcriptional control of various cell types, especially in the development or functioning of immune system cells involved in either promoting or inhibiting the immune response against cancer, is significantly influenced by DNA or RNA methylation. Multifaceted interconnections exist between immunological or cancer cell populations in the tumor's microenvironment (TME). TME alters the fluctuating DNA (as well as RNA) methylation sequences in these immunological cells to change their development into pro- or anti-cancer cell categories (such as T cells, which are regulatory, for instance). Objective: This review highlights the impact of DNA and RNA methylation on myeloid and lymphoid cells, unraveling their intricate
