Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the biggest health problems of women all over the world. Today, with the dramatic advancements made in this regard, we can see the increase in the life expectancy of women with this cancer. The current study aimed at investigating the NAT1 gene expression and methylation in the blood of people with breast cancer. This gene and its family, namely the group of NATs, especially NAT2 and NAT3, are one of the few genes that participate in the interaction of cancers such as breast by producing enzymes that carry factors such as oxygen and nitrogen, and their effect on carcinogens. Methods and Materials: In the current study, the rate of NAT1 gene expression is investigated by the use of the Real-time PCR technique. The methylation of NAT1 gene promoter is also evaluated by the use of MS PCR technique and blood samples of people with breast cancer and normal people among the Iranian population.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant cancers among men worldwide. One way to control this disease is screening. One of the models that can be used to identify and change the beliefs and attitudes of the elderly and their families is the health belief model. Considering the lack of similar studies, this study was performed to determine the effect of community-based intention to perform screening behaviors on prostate cancer screening in the elderly based on the Health Belief Model. Methods: This study was a randomized field trial. The statistical population included all older men over 60 years of age with electronic files in comprehensive health service centers in Malayer in 2020-2021. The samples were 250 eligible elderlies who were divided into control and intervention groups by stratified random sampling. For the intervention group, training based on the health belief model was performed. The data collection tool was a standard questionnaire, which consisted of two sections: demographic information and intention to perform screening behaviors for cancer prostate-based health belief model. Questionnaires were given to both groups before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22 and statistical tests, MANOVA, chi-square, and Fisher's exact test.

Breast cancer accounts for 24.5% of all cancer cases and 14% of all cancer deaths in women globally. Breastfeeding is thought to lower the risk of breast cancer mainly through two mechanisms; differentiation of breast tissue and a decrease in the total number of ovulatory cycles throughout a woman's lifetime. The objective of this systematic review is to investigate the published literature that studied breastfeeding and its duration as a possible protective factor for the development of breast cancer. PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, EBSCO, and Cochrane library were searched. Study articles were screened by title and abstract using Rayyan QCRI then a full-text assessment was implemented. Fifteen studies published between 2000 and 2022 with a total of 27315 breast cancer patients were included. Most included studies reported that breastfeeding and its longer duration play a protective role against breast cancer. Only three studies reported no association between breastfeeding and breast cancer development. So, our systematic review found that breastfeeding, especially breastfeeding of longer duration, was considered a protective factor against breast cancer. Therefore, it was advised that data on breastfeeding duration should be gathered by researchers in order to possibly lower the incidence of breast cancer. If breastfeeding offers protection against breast cancer, a more thorough analysis of potential confounders may shed light on how this protection is achieved. This systematic review reported that breastfeeding, especially breastfeeding of longer duration, was considered a protective factor against breast cancer.
