There were six variables involving patient age, primary site, histology, tumor stage, use of surgery and tumor size which were related to OS (P<0.05), and WY14643 other variables lost significance. And six variables involving patient age, histology, tumor stage, tumor size, use of surgery and chemotherapy were related to CSS (P<0.05), and the other variables lost significance.

Silver oxide nanoparticles are wonderful material and having great potential towards biomedical ap-plications. Silver oxide nanoparticle were synthesized via Chemical Aqueous method and characterized by applying manifold available techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used for analyzing structural property of nanoparticle crystals, the morphology of synthesized nanoparticles was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM), elemental analysis of the composition was observed by energy dispersive X-ray spectra (EDXS) and the optical properties was analyzed by the UveVis spectrometer. Spectroscopic analysis confirmed the spherical morphology of the nanoparticles with the effect of calcined tempera-ture. Phototoxic and cytotoxic effects of grown particles were examined by conducting various relevant experimental techniques on hepatocellular (HepG2 Cell line) model. The obtained results were verified by applying polynomial fit which confirmed the goodness of fit. Silver oxide NPs has unique bio inter-action characteristics and physicochemical properties as anticancer agent. This research will be beneficial particularly for cancer therapeutics.
1. Introduction
Nanoparticles gain much popularity due to biological, thera-peutic and medical applications in the present era [1]. Among the nanomaterials, silver oxide nanoparticles are much more popular in the fields of textile, food industry, electronics, construction ma-terials, pharmaceutical products, antimicrobial agent, cosmetic and paints [2,3]. The cost effective and environmental friendly synthesis of silver oxide nanoparticles is the hot topic of current research studies. Silver oxide nanoparticles have strong antibacterial, anti-viral and antifungal effects [4]. Nanoparticles are being rapidly used as nano medicine, nano therapeutic, nano theranostic and cancer treatment [5].
