The breast and gynecological cancers are two most common fatal cancers’ types in women in the world [1]. In oncological literature, these two cancers types are typically worked together since they are the risk factors of each other if the patient has one of these diseases [2]. In general, the cancers, like the heart diseases, are the systems’ ilnesses in the sense that any malfunctions in the associated transaction pathways cause problems in the activation flow, resulting in tumors. Therefore, the mathematical representation of these complex structures enables us to better understand the actual biological process and to produce the target drug. Accordingly, in this study, we evaluate 10 different publically available datasets which are collected from the GEO database. Originally these data are the gene expression datasets where some of them also have certain descriptive information about the samples. Hereby, from each dataset, we initially generate subnetworks by selecting the most significantly expressed genes and normalize them via the RMA method [3] if they are the Affymetrix data or normalize them via deterministic background and quantile normalizations. Then, we present them via distinct mathematical models such as MARS [4] and CGGM [5] in order to describe the steady-state behaviour of the proteomic activations. Here, we evaluate the performance of every model via the accuracy of the estimates and the computational demand. Later, we also combine these models with the risk factors of each cancer and re-construct more comprehensive mathematical models. Finally, we validate our estimated systems via the associated literature and biologically discuss our new findings. By this way, we can also combine the knowledge of both cancers types under a single and more comprehensive mathematical model. We consider that our mathematical representation can open new avenue about these diseases and help us to ask biologically more interesting questions

Application of image enhancement algorithms to improve the visibility and classification of microcalcifications in mammograms Akbay, Cansu; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Gençer, Gülay; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2015) Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths for women. Mammography is the most effective technology presently available for breast cancer screening, despite the fact that there are still some limitations of the imaging technique, such as insufficient resolution, low local contrast and noise combined with the subtle nature of the usual radiographic findings. One of the most important radiographic findings associated to the existence of breast cancer is the clustered microcalcifications. Especi...
Multiscale tumor modeling Ünsal, Serbülent; Acar, Aybar Can; Department of Health Informatics (2014) Cancer’s complex behavior decreases success rates of the cancer therapies. The usual steps cancer therapy are, deciding phase of the cancer and planing the therapy according to medical guidelines and there is no room or chance for personalized medicine. Simulation systems that use patient specific data as input and up-to-date scientific evidence as business rules has chance to help clinicians for evidence based personalized medicine practice.In this study our aim is creating a basic model to guide researche...
Analyses and modeling of ovarian cancer microarray data Karakelle, Barış S; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2019) Ovarian cancer is one of the common cancer types among other oncological diseases. The major causes of this cancer can be listed as age, obesity, hormone therapy, material inheritance and contraceptive pills. Due to its generality and importance, many researches have been conducted from distinct labs about this illness and its plausible causes have been intensively investigated either inmicroarray studies, where just part of the related genes are detected, or in thepairwise correlation analyses between the ...
Comparison of the Diagnostic Accuracy of Next Generation Sequencing and Microarray Resequencing Methods for Detection of BRCA1 and BRCA2 Gene Mutations Bahsi, Taha; Ergun, Sezen Güntekin; Ergun, Mehmet Ali; Perçin, E. Ferda (Gazi University, 2018-4-1) Objective: Breast cancer constitutes 29 % of estimated new cases of cancer in women, and it is also one of the major cause of death in all cancer types. In this study, DNA samples of familial breast cancer patients with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations which had been analyzed using conventional DNA sequencing method, were also analyzed with new methods including microarray and next generation sequencing (NGS) in order to compare their results Methods: Seven patients with BRCA1 mutation, one patient with BRCA2 m...
COMPUTER AIDED DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC TWO STAGES CLASSIFICATION OF BREAST MASS IN DIGITAL MAMMOGRAM IMAGES Alqudah, Ali Mohammad; Algharib, Huda M. S.; Algharib, Amal M. S.; Algharib, Hanan M. S. (2019-02-01) Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer type that is diagnosed in women. The exact causes of such cancer are still unknown. Early and precise detection of breast cancer using mammogram images or biopsy to provide the required medications can increase the healing percentage. There are much current research efforts to developed a computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system based on mammogram images for detecting and classification of breast masses. In this research, a CAD system is developed for automated segment...
