Strategys Against Cancer

I agree it was smart to take action against her breast cancer quickly before it took her away just as her mother had. I'm glad she wrote about her fight against it and wants to encourage other women to seek help and make their own decision of what they want to do. After reading "Hopeful Glimmers in Long War on Cancer" there's still hope for people with cancer and by now there might be more information about it so there's more choices to make for

In "A Problem with How We Treat Cancer and How to Fix it,” Cindy Finch, the clinical social worker, argues that after being diagnosed with cancer five years ago, she could recover from the disease but not from her emotional condition. When she was recurring her medical visits, she noticed that doctors and hospitals are focus on the equipment, and medical resources that help people to survive their diagnosis, but they do not worry about the post-traumatic and emotional support for life after cancer. Finch, suggest that to optimize cancer recovery, medical community must integrate and turn psycho-social healthcare in a new phase of cancer treatment. Using help from a survivor specialist that assist and tech patients and their family, to find

Chemoembolization using drug eluting microspheres (DEM TACE) was developed to prolong the release of chemotherapeutic agent within the tumor in a prolonged and slow manner. Microspheres (HepaSphere™ Microspheres) 30-60 μmare able to absorb chemotherapeutic agent (Irinotecan). After being mixed with contrast media, microspheres get larger size to 100–200 μm and slowly release the cytotoxic drug. The advantage of DEM TACE is to increase the concentration of chemotherapeutic agent within the tumor, with decreased systemic side effects and toxicity [4,5]. Additionally, the arterial supply of the tumour is embolized by the spheres like in

Cancer, the uncontrolled, rapid and pathological proliferation of abnormal cells is the growing public problem whose estimated worldwide new incidence is about 6 million cases per year. It is one of the most dreaded diseases of the 20th century and spreading further with continuous and increasing incidence in 21st century. This is the second leading cause of human death after cardiovascular diseases in developing as well as advanced countries. Although there are many therapeutic strategies including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, high systemic toxicity and drug resistance limit the successful outcomes in most cases

Angiogenesis is the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. This is distinct from vasculogenesis, which is the de novo formation of endothelial cells from mesoderm cell precursors. The first vessels in the developing embryo form through vasculogenesis, after which angiogenesis is responsible for most, if not all, blood vessel growth during development and in disease. Angiogenesis is a normal and vital process in growth and development, as well as in wound healing and in the formation of granulation tissue40. However, it is also a fundamental step in the transition of tumors from a benign state to a malignant one, leading to the use of angiogenesis inhibitors in the treatment of cancer. The essential

The diagnosis of cancer makes one to be depressed, lonely hopeless and helpless due to the fear of unknown. It is very difficult for one to understand the true nature of this disease as there is no definite cure. Anyone diagnosed with cancer need to be supported emotionally together with the family members. Treatment of cancer requires an extensive treatment, early detection is very useful in the management of a cancer patient.

Oncology is the study of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of tumors and cancers. The oncology departments at Carolinas HealthCare System offers outpatient and inpatient facilities and provide treatment to patients with different types of cancers in rural and metropolitan areas of North and South Carolina. Cancer is an equal opportunity illness that can affect young people, older people, and everyone in between. Per the CDC, Cancer death rates are going down, but rates don’t tell the whole story. Cancer will soon be the leading cause of death in the United States. By 2020, the number of new cancer cases is expected to increase to nearly 2 million a year. ("CDC," )

Increased angiogenesis, i.e. the formation of new capillaries, and increased microvascular density in the tissue are signs of a tumour 51.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Cancer can be classified as a typed of disease that causes an overgrowth of cells (1). The cancer cells begin to divide at an abnormal rate which can cause lumps or tumors. This disease is very widespread and includes over 100 different types. Some of the most common types of cancer include, Breast Cancer, Leukemia, Prostate Cancer, and Melanoma (2). Because this disease is so widespread and one of the leading causes of death, researchers are working hard to develop ways to prevent and treat cancer. Over the years, many of these treatments have shown great potential for a cure to cancer. One of these that is gaining more advancements every year is the treatment of cancer using Immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is the use of a person’s immune system in order to fight cancer. By taking what they know about how the immune system works scientists have discovered many ways to treat cancer with immunotherapy. Some of the current treatments of caner using immunotherapy include, antibody therapy, cell mediated immunotherapy, and cytokine immunotherapy.

Gold nanoparticles have shown great prospect for brain tumour treatment, however for the drug to be delivered by the nanoparticle for PDT it must stay in the body long enough to accumulate at the tumour site. A possible issue which may be encountered with the strategy discussed is the elimination of the nanoparticle and the target agent by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) and via renal clearance.

Millions of people in the world know someone or have personally been afflicted with the disease that causes uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body, better known as cancer. In the US alone half of all men and one third of all women will develop cancer at some point in their life. There are over 100 known cancers and they all, even when treated or caught early can lead to serious illness and death. This is why researchers and doctors everywhere are looking for answers to cure these diseases and stop cancer in its tracks. Many cancers have been analyzed and great steps of progress have been made into cancer prevention, spotting the development of cancer cells early, and finding treatments to cure people who have been affected with the disease. One topic scientist have taken particular interest in is the miR-200 family and its role in tumor angiogenesis regulation. In a paper written by Pecot et al (2013), Tumor angiogenesis regulation by the miR-200 family, scientist investigated the miR-200 family's role in inhibiting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which suggests it inhibits metastasis. The researchers hypothesized through direct and indirect mechanisms, the miR-200 family will show angiogenesis inhibition by regulating interleukin-8 and CXCL1 secreted by the tumour endothelial and cancer cells. This review will delve into the mir-200 family members, methods used by the researchers, and results that were obtained.

In an effort to combat this, we will use nanoparticles to deliver anti-mitotic drugs to the site of the tumor. Preliminary data is promising for the administration of both proTAME and apcin, and inhibition of CSCs. In addition, the preliminary data for nanoparticles is promising for the delivery of this therapy across the blood brain barrier. Determining the extent that these nanoparticle/therapy complexes will impact CSCs in vivo is the focus of this aim and will provide information on nanoparticles in complex with anti-mitotic drugs and their ability to cross the blood brain barrier.

Cancer, by virtue of its knack to transform continuously, has become one of the biggest challenges of the modern oncology. Therefore by doing so, cancerous cells develop resistance to the most of the common treatments viz chemotherapy and radiotherapy (Hanahan and Weinberg, 2011). Although initial treatments may be efficacious in restriction of the disease, but then during the course of time remaining cancer cells acclimatize and develop resistance to the treatments (Liang et al., 2010). Advanced treatment modalities for cancers over the last 20 years encompassing surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy are not fully satisfactory as the five-year survival rate is continuously decreasing (Siegel et al., 2015). Regardless of

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (2017), reported natural products as the most commonly used CAM method. It has been found, use of natural products improve the quality of life, increase cancer survival rate and improve immune function (Yin, Wei, Jian & Yang , 2013). A systematic review by Yin, et al. (2013), reported cancer patients who used Chemotherapy and natural products such as, astragalus, turmeric, ginseng and ginger have shown a positive outcome regarding cancer symptoms. Most commonly reported was a reduction in chemotherapy induced nausea, vomiting and pain (Yin, et al., 2013).

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.
