Cancer is a disease/ a malignant growth or tumor caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. Cancer develops when the body’s accustomed control mechanism ceases to work. Cells grow out of control, forming new, abnormal cells. These extra cells may form an abundance of tissue. This abundance of tissue is called a tumor. Some cancers, such as leukemia, do not form tumors. Cancer can form anywhere on the human body. There are five main categories of cancer. Carcinomas
form of cancer in the United States is skin cancer. General Purpose: To inform my audience about skin cancer. Specific Purpose: After listening to my speech the audience will know what skin cancer is, what the three most common forms are, what the risk factors are, and some preventative measures that can be taken to lessen the risk. Introduction I. Attention grabber: Over the past three decades, more people have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined. This includes breast cancer, colon
word cancer is derived from the Greek word “carcinos and carcinoma” meaning “crab” likely applied to the disease because of the spreading from a cancer finger-like projections. These terminologies were first used by a Greek physician, Hippocrates (460-370 BC), to describe a non-ulcer forming and ulcer-forming tumors. The Roman physician, Celsus (28-50 BC), later translated the Greek term into a Latin word “cancer”(Faguet, 2015; American Cancer Society, 2014) Cancer is an abnormal growing cells in
Cancer, which is the name given to collection of related diseases, is a general term used to refer to conditions where the body cells stats to grow in an abnormal way(1). These abnormal cells can then attack and damage healthy tissue, including the organs(1). Cancer also can be classified to hundreds of types and one of its common types is breast cancer(1). Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females. In 2000, the evaluated number of cases of breast cancer was approximately 1,050,346
report Cancer cell structure and properties Abstract: We know that all the incarnate beings are comprised of cells. All these cells found in living organisms have an ability to develop and divide in a precise and controlled way. This ability of cells allows living organisms to function appropriately. Any mutations or changes in these normal functioning cells would lead to an irrepressible growth of these cells. This kind of irrepressible growth is the characteristic feature of cancer cells. Cancer
occurring in either the germ line or the genome of a somatic cell, leads to an increased likelihood of cancer development.” Somatic cells, or cells of the body, are produced by cell division, making identical copies of the cells as they divide. To reproduce, a parent cell must execute an orderly sequence of reactions, through which it duplicates its contents and divides in two. This critical process of duplication and division, known as the cell cycle, is complex and carefully controlled3. Defects in
Topic: Skin Cancer Thesis: Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States but is highly curable if detected early and treated properly. Specific Purpose: to inform the audience about the different kinds of skin cancer and what preventive measures you can take to protect yourself from skin cancer. I. Introduction A. Do you know that skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States; two million people are diagnosed annually. B. Skin cancer is the uncontrolled
children were diagnosed with cancer. 90.5 million people are diagnosed with cancer each year and 8.8 million people die each year because of cancer. Did you know that 1 in 2 men are diagnosed with cancer while 1 in 3 women are diagnosed with cancer? Cancer is a uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in a humans body. Cancer develops when the body's control mechanism stops working. Old Cells don't die instead they grow out of control, forming new, abnormal cells. These cells might form a tumor or “ a
Cancer is the disease caused by an uncontrolled division of cells in a part of the body. Specifically, lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs. Since these cells are abnormal, they do not carry out the functions of normal lung cells and do not develop into healthy lung tissue. As they grow, these abnormal cells could possibly form tumors and interfere with the functioning of the lung, which provides oxygen to the body via the blood. In both men and women, lung
3.2 Cell abscission: the final step of cytokinesis After the division of nuclear membrane following duplicated chromosome segregation, in eukaryotic cell division, cytokinesis is carried out to divide a single cell into two daughter cells25. The process begins with the construction of a cleavage furrow intervened with actomyosin ring contraction3. The spindle midzone formed during anaphase gets transformed into intercellular bridge also known as the midbody responsible for connecting two new forming
