Do we even know what cancer is? Well cancer is a disease caused by multiple cells spreading throughout your body, it first starts when a specific cell starts to grow. Cancer cells can also invade other tissues which making abnormal cells. It’s hard to treat cancer because cancer is not just one disease. Sign and symptoms caused by cancer will vary depending on what part of the body is affected. You may have heard of Chemotherapy, if not Chemotherapy is a type of treatment used to treat cancer. It’s used for chemical substances and other drugs that kills the fast-growing cells in your body. There are many side effects for Chemotherapy like vomiting, pain, nausea, and hair loss. Some side effects go away after being treated with it. Then healthy cells are usually recovered after being

An experiment was conducted in Mrs. Lynn's ninth period class on Wednesday, September 28, 2016. The purpose of the experiment was to determine why red blood cells appear smaller when sugar is added to the cell's surroundings. The independent variable in this experiment was the water outside the dialysis tubing (used to represent a cell) while the dependent variable in this experiment was the weight of the dialysis tubing after twenty minutes. Two beakers were filled, one with water and one with a lactose solution. Dialysis tubing that contained water was placed inside both of the beakers, then a timer was started. When the timer read twenty minutes, each cell was extracted and weighed. Each cell was then compared to its weight in grams before

In order to be able to understand cancer, you have to understand your body and to define what cancer is, for me it 's a group of stubborn and out of control cells have a motivation is grow and never stop, why is that? Becausethere was misunderstanding in the process of translation the information that have been received from the DNA. And since your DNA Holds all the data we have

In our body we have normal cells that send signals to every cell all the time and our normal cells obey what the signals are saying. Normal cells know when they have reached their limit and when it is time to die or to do something to themselves or to others. On the other hand, we have cancer cells, they override the normal signaling system. For example, cancer cells do not stop dividing and growing when they have reached their limit. Due to this, the cells keep replicating, forming like a tumor that is growing. My point is that cancer cells grow and divide in a manner that you are not able to control, they would invade normal tissues, organs and eventually spreading throughout the body. Cancer cells lost their control of growth and it is

Why the problem persists (one: name it, according to topic/problem). The problem persists because cancer is an umbrella for over 200 different diseases. Although these diseases have many outward similarities (all grow uncontrollably and have the potential to invade and spread), the biological mechanism is different for most cancer types. You may find cures for various cancers, but each will need their own research and treatment strategies (Faller, 2015).

Cancer can cause death in many shapes and forms. Not only that, but cancer can affect loved ones and friends too. So far there has not been a cure for cancer, but there has been treatments to fight it off and make people live longer. One thing that helps treat cancer is of course drugs and medication.

Cancer is classified as a dangerous disease that is taking over the lives of many people, and families today. Cancer is known as a deadly disease that produces unwanted growth of cells in a certain area of a body. According to scientific and medical research, there are over a hundred different types of cancer out there, but each specifically classified by the cell that it is initially affected by. There can be many reasons that lead to cancerous growths in the body. Most believe it is in genetics and also that numerous environmental factors play a major role, but many doctors and scientists are still unaware of the cause of cancer till today. Cancer primarily starts to harm the body, shortly after damaged cells start to divide

It is the one word that can send chills and tremors up anyone’s back, because in one word alone everything can change. Cancer, a word that in itself holds so many questions, thoughts, fears, and worries. There are over 100 different types of cancer; however all cancers begin because abnormal cells grow out of control. Normal cells follow a pattern: they grow, divide, and die. Cancer cells grow differently than normal cells. Instead of dying, the cells reproduce more abnormal cells. Cancer cells are also very distinct in the fact that they can grow into other tissues, normal cells cannot do this. The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is in every cell, it is what directs all the cell’s actions. In normal cells, when DNA gets destroyed the cell either dies or repairs itself; in cancer cells, however, the cell goes on making new cells that the body has no use for. The new cells now have the same abnormal DNA as the first cell. If cancer cells penetrate the blood stream or lymph vessels they can easily spread and attack other areas of the body. Today, hundreds of thousands of people are fighting or have fought cancer. Over one half of all men and one third of all women will develop cancer during their lifetime. It is safe to say that almost every person has been affected by cancer in some way, shape, or form. Cancer in itself is the modern day epidemic much like the black plaque was during its era.

Cancer is an incredibly life changing disease. For those who develop cancer, overcoming it is one of the most arduous battles that they will ever have to face. For the loved ones of a cancer patient, the battle can be one of the most painful events that they will ever witness. According to Proquest database, "Cancer is a group of diseases charactereized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the spread is not controlled, it can result in dealth. Cancer is caused by both external factors (tobacco, infectoius organisms, chemicals, and radiation) and internal factors (inherited mutations, hormones, immune conditions, and mutations that occur from metabolism). These casual factors may act together or in sequence to initiate

The biggest cause of treatments that do not work in case of cancer is that we do not look in the right direction. All the treatments proposed by the majority of doctors, all the top notch drugs promoted by famous pharmacy brands, they all treat a symptom, not an actually health issue. To start a proper fight against cancer, we must understand how it works and why it appears. The main reason why cancer appears in an organism it because the immune system of that certain organism is weaken and malfunctioning. A person that has the immune system up and running in a normal rate will not develop cancer.

“Cancer refers to diseases in which abnormal cells divide out of control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems” (Smoking and Cancer). There over thousand different types of cancer, and can produce in any area of your body. Symptoms of Cancer are lumps in breasts or testes, unusual bleeding in certain areas of the body, difficulty swallowing and much more. Cancer not only kills but it affects one life and the one around them. Cancer causes depression and makes a person feel as though they have no hope and they can die any minute, families are also affected because it hurts to see your loved ones suffering. Cancer is something that can happen to

Cancer is a dreaded nightmare that no one wants to have. It is a demon so powerful that it is hard to expel once encountered; it takes every last bit of energy and strength to fight this disease to the very end. Cancer is a bully that influences one’s body to turn against itself and to just sit there like a coward not fighting back. Why is this? What causes cancer? Why can cancer not be expelled as easy as a common cold, or the flu? How is cancer treated? How can cancer be prevented? Through statistics, knowing how cancer works, and how to prevent cancer, one can stand their ground and carry out an all out attack on this disease.

There are so many diseases that bombard our world some are curable while others have been killing people for years. Cancer is a non-communicable and non-infectious disease that takes the lives of numerous people each year and is the second leading cause of death in the United States (after heart disease) (http://www.cdc.gov). According to Statistics, in United States alone 14.5 million people are affected by cancer every year of which 595,690 have terminal prognosis and are expected to die in 2016, which translates to about 1,630 people dying every day (www.cancer.org). No one is immune to it and no cure has been discovered for this deadly disease so far.

There is a nearly universal belief that cancer is horrible. There is also nearly universal belief that the treatments we have today for cancer are not effective at all, and they are also not safe. Chemotherapy is one of the most widespread treatment options, and it clearly
