Despite the dramatic advances in cancer research in the past few years, effective
therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Endothelial cell-specific molecule 1 (ESM-1), a …

Background While a number of studies indicate tobacco smoking has a detrimental impact
on survival and recurrence after a prostate cancer diagnosis, there has been no quantitative …

OBJECTIVES: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood have been used as diagnostic
markers in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, we evaluated a CTC …

Endocan is known to be a circulating dermatan sulfate proteoglycan that regulates
endothelial cell function. Dysregulation of endocan expression is observed not only in the …

We aimed to evaluate whether there was a relationship between endocan (human

Background: Cancer kills nearly 9,000,000 people worldwide, and its mortality was reported
up to 28% in the past decade. Few available tumor markers have been known to help early …

Endocan is a proteoglycan secreted from endothelium upon endothelial damage. Since
depression is associated with higher inflammation and oxidative stress to the vascular …

Prostate cancer is among the top five cancer types according to incidence and mortality. One
of the main obstacles in prostate cancer management is the inability to foresee its course …

Purpose The aim of our study was to assess the correlation between serum endocan level
and erectile dysfunction (ED). Methods A total of 92 patients were reviewed in this study after …
