We studied the correlation between the micro-vascular density and type of cells “benign and malignant”: We noticed the higher vascularity of cases of cystitis, compared to the vascularity of malignant tumors, this could be explained by the higher vascularity of the active cells, edema, inflammatory infiltrate and vascular congestion during the inflammatory process.
In advanced disease, there may be signs of pleural effusion, and/or hepatomegaly, and/or bone metastases as regional and generalized spread of the cancer ensues 2
Tumors are one of the most feared diseases of our time. Many people upon hearing the word “tumor” immediately resonate to the conclusion of it being cancer, which is not necessarily true. Tumors fall into to two main types, benign and malignant. Although they are considerably different in tissue invasion, their nature that makes them distinct and symptoms, they are also quite similar in the way they recur in the same location, growth size and their health risks.
The most common subtype is a well-differentiated carcinoma (grade 1 or 2 endometrioid histology) that behaves in an indolent fashion, causes bleeding symptoms in its early stages, and is curable in most cases. Risk factors for this low-risk subtype are well known and are related to an increase in circulating estrogens: obesity, chronic anovulation and nulliparity, estrogen replacement therapy (unopposed by progesterone), and tamoxifen use. PTEN gene mutation in 30 -80% of cases
Blood clots are a serious side effect when it comes to taking the pill. Certain pills may cause or increase the risk even more. According to Planner Parenthood "The progestin in YAZ, Gianvi, YASMIN, Ocella, Syeda, and Zarah, Beyaz, and Safyral may be linked to a higher risk for blood clots than other birth control pills" It is a good chance doctors will advice women to stay away from these. Anything that can increase the risk of blood clots should be avoided because blood clots are very serious and dangerous. The most familiar place for the clot the leg or lung. The pills do not cause the clot it can higher the chances of getting one. "For the average woman taking birth control pills, the absolute risk of a blood clot is very small: Only 1
Menopause may feel like it’s something you have to live with, but that doesn’t have to be the case. In fact it can mean a positive change to your life: a time for making lifestyle changes. There are many simple changes you can make that will have a big impact on your menopause symptoms. Here are 7 easy menopause tips you can start today.
Background: Endometrial polyps are the most common endometrial pathology associated with postmenopausal tamoxifen exposure. Up to 3% of these polyp may show malignant changes. Objective is the endometrial cancer has predisposition or risk factors in postmenpausal tamoxifen receiving breast cancer patients risk factors for endometrial polyps. Methods: This is prospective study done at El-Hussien and Sayed Galal University hospitals the data were collected from medical records after the patient consent to be involved in this study we have two groups group I in which the hystrescope reveals the endometrial polyp at 6 months of tamoxifen receiving in
This could be a symptom of gynecologic cancer, especially when you have a heavy periods and bleeding between periods. Bleeding during and after sex could also indicate and link to cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancer.
There are two forms of the Gestational Trophoblastic Disease, Hydatidiform mole is a non-cancerous form, where a fetus may or may-not develop. Out of all the types of uterine cancers presently known, Hydatidiform Mole¬¬--commonly known as a “molar pregnancy”--affects one out of every 1,000 pregnancies (Hydatidiform Mole, 2012). Choriocarcinoma is the cancerous form and is even less common by affecting roughly two to seven pregnancies out of 100,000 in the United States. In addition, choriocarcinoma molar pregnancies are more common in Mexico, Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and African countries. Furthermore, Caucasian women in the Unites States are at higher risk than African American Women. Consequently, women over the age of 40 or women who have had prior molar pregnancies or miscarriages
Research and the resulting data has suggested that angiogenesis plays an essential role in the development of breast cancer, invasion, and metastasis; angiogenesis plays a central role in both local tumor growth and distant metastasis in breast cancer. A blood supply is extremely necessary in order for tumors to grow larger than a few millimeters in size. Tumors can give off chemical signals that stimulate angiogenesis so
Diagnostic ultrasound is one of the most common forms of medical imaging in use today. When people think of ultrasound images or sonograms as they are also referred to, they may recall grainy black and white images that are similar to x-rays. However, with the exception of perhaps developing fetuses, most have very limited knowledge of what they are actually looking at, let alone how those images are created. Many people are aware that sound waves are used to produce images but have no clue how the process works or the tremendous amount of physics involved. There are numerous physics concepts involved in ultrasound imaging. Including, but not limited to, velocity, frequency, and wavelength.
Dr. Moses Judah Folkman recently discovered Angiogenesis and it seems like a promising cure for localized cancers and tumors. In other words, these injections cause cancers to shrink without harming the cancer-laden person with virtually no side effects. Folkman surmised that to grow, tumors needed blood and send out an unknown substance that coaxes nearby blood vessels into sprouting new capillaries. Angiogenesis prohibits blood vessels from sprouting and the tumor is choked off. This new treatment has proven effective in human cancers grafted and cloned in both mice and rabbits with no apparent side effects. Once bed-ridden cancer patients may be able to relish in a semi-ordinary lifestyle while undergoing angiogenesis injections as
Des tests plus fréquents sont parfois recommandés pour les femmes qui présentent un risque élevé. Les facteurs suivants augmentent le risque de cancer du col de l’utérus :
Nowadays a medical revolution occuring and it is going to open up an opportunity to cure some deadly diseases, including cancer. The revolution is angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels. Our body exactly filled with blood vessels. End to end, they would circle the earth twice. The smallest ones are capilleries. Usually, they save our lives but sometimes they cause dead. Blood vessels don't normally grow in adults. We get most of them in the womb, except in some special conditions like after injury. When we get an injury, blood vessels must to grow under the scab to heal wound. Endotelial cells line the inside of the blood vessels and they begin to migrate, grow and differentiate. The body has the ability to manage the amount of blood vessels at any time. This process controled by chemical signals in the human body. The chemicals can be activators and inhibitors. Activator proteins called angiogenic factors stimulate new blood vessels to develop. When those excess vessels no longer needed, inhibitor proteins step in to back to normal level. If there are defects in the system, the
Neoplasia means the process of new growth whilst Neoplasm means a new growth. Sometimes, the parenchyma cells stimulate the formation of an abundant collagenous stroma, referred to as desmoplasia. Some tumours e.g. some cancers of breast are stony hard or scirrhous. Sarcomas have little connective tissue stroma and so are fleshy. Pseudo tumours: i) An ectopic rest of normal tissue is sometimes called a choristoma e.g a rest of adrenal cells under the kidney capsule or a pancreatic nodular rest in the mucosa of the small intestine may mimic neoplasm.
