that can run in families, but is not been known to cause every case of osteogenic sarcoma. Even though healthcare professionals haven't found the direct cause there are some patients that have a better chance of developing the disease from their pre existing conditions. This disease has been known to link with familial retinoblastoma. Children that have familial retinoblastoma are more likely to develop Osteogenic sarcoma during development in their adolescent years. Before becoming very serious there
Kaposi Sarcoma Kaposi Sarcoma is a type of cancer that involves the skin and mucous membranes. It is important to know the pathophysiology and etiology to understand this disease. There are many complications that affect the prognosis of Kaposi sarcoma. The assessment findings include the signs and symptoms and the testing done for diagnostic purposes. Medical management is also important with Kaposi sarcoma. One should be educated on the medications in all aspects. What is Kaposi Sarcoma? Kaposi
- In 1910 the Rous sarcoma virus, the first known cancer-causing virus, was discovered in chickens. - Discovered by Peyton Rous when he observed malignant cells from connective tissue in a chicken; he injected healthy chickens with the filtered cells and they developed similar tumors. - This showed the filtrate contained cancer-causing agents, eventually known as Rous sarcoma virus. - Years later, Rous proposed that the change of normal cells is in stages, like virus exposure, hormonal changes,
Clear Cell Sarcoma Many people suffer from all types of cancer like, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, malignant mesothelioma and so much more. These types of cancers are very common and are usually found and treated as soon as possible. Despite the fact that technology and medicine has advanced in many ways, Clear cell sarcoma is still a puzzle to most doctors. Clear Cell Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that usually affects young adults between the ages of 20 to 40 years old, not to be confused

It can be spread by contact with any blood that carries the infection or from mother to child through birth. Also, If a mother is infected with HIV after the birth of her child, the infection can still be passed on through breast feeding. HIV attacks your immune system, mainly focusing

My Research Story: "So class I want you to write about what you want to be when you grow up," my teacher told us. I didn't know what I wanted to be yet, I would change my answer every time someone asked me that. I really thought about it this time. My favorite subject in school had always been science and I love learning about the human body and how different types of cells effect other cells. So I thought maybe I could be a cancer doctor. I already knew some stuff about cancer research before

abnormal cells reproduce without control, destroy healthy tissue, and eventually cause deterioration to the body. This paper is a discussion on how cancer develops and spreads, some of the various types of cancer, and the causes of the disease. Cancer is a disease in which cells multiply without control, destroy healthy tissue, and endanger life. About 100
related to the mycobacteria, the species of acid-fast bacteria that causes tuberculosis. She claimed the "acid-fast" staining method was essential to identify the microbe in tissue and in culture. In a series of papers Livingston and her colleagues all continued important cancer microbe research showing the characteristic "connective tissue parasite" of cancer, the germ that could be found inside the cell (intracellular) and outside the cell (extracellular) in all cancers they studied. Livingston always
