Identification of miRNA's as specific biomarkers in prostate cancer diagnostics : a combined in silico and molecular approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
There are over 100 different types of cancer, and each of these cancers are classified by the type of cell that it initially affects. For the purpose of this research we will be focussing on prostate cancer (PC). Prostate ...
Identification of microRNAs as a class of biomarkers for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer : an in silico and molecular approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common form of cancer in men around
the world. In many parts of Africa, data on prostate cancer is sparse. This is
attributed to poor access to testing and diagnostics. The ...
Identification of potential biomarkers in lung cancer as possible diagnostic agents using bioinformatics and molecular approaches
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with the majority of cases attributed to non-small cell lung carcinomas. At the time of diagnosis, a large percentage of patients present with advanced stage ...
The development of nanotechnology-based detection systems for the diagnosis of breast cancer
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Breast cancer is one of the major causes of death in South Africa. About 1 in 29 South African women are at risk of developing this type of cancer in their lifetime. The global incidence of breast cancer also increases ...
