Journal ArticleDOI
Association between gastric cancer mortality and nitrate content of drinking water: Ecological study on small area inequalities
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the high level of nitrate in drinking water is involved in the development of GC is supported, as the log-transformed average nitrate concentration showed significant positive association with stomach cancer mortality in linear regression analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal Article
MicroRNA expressions in HPV-induced cervical dysplasia and cancer.
TL;DR: Evaluation of miRNA expression might be helpful to distinguish different cervical lesions and might be able to help in the prediction of HPV infection outcome.
Journal Article

András Csejtei,Antal Tibold,Zsuzsa Varga,Katalin Koltai,Agoston Ember,Zsuzsa Orsós,Gergely Feher,Örs Péter Horváth,István Ember,István Kiss +9 more
TL;DR: The significance of the investigated polymorphisms in prognosis is dependent on the tumor stage and these parameters might be used in certain cases as prognostic biomarkers in clinical diagnostics and in the planning of individual therapy.
