Cancer Cancer is one of the most lethal diseases that greatly contributes to the death toll of millions people around the globe. Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out of control cell growth. There are over 100 different types of cancer, and the type of cell that is initially affected classifies each. In most cases, cancer harms the body when damaged cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors. Untreated cancers can cause serious illness and death. The

American Cancer Society, established in 1913, is a national community-based organization that is dedicated to fighting and eliminating cancer through prevention, research, education, advocacy, and service. The organization was established by 15 physicians and businessmen, in New York City, under the name American Society for the Control of Cancer. The name was changed to American Cancer Society in 1945, when the society was reorganized to recognize the new era. The symbol is composed of two serpents

The Cancer Research Society’s (CRS) purpose is to collect funds for cancer research on all kinds of cancer. The association commenced in the year 1945, and it is known to be the first Canadian organization that focuses on gathering finances for cancer research. The institution assists Canadian health care professionals, and researchers to further understand the causation of cancer. Additionally, the institute takes part in the advancement of successful treatments, which could perhaps improve the

Cancer Care and Research Rebecca Anderson Dawn Tinder October 26, 2014  Abstract: In this paper, possible courses of treatment for cancer will be defined and discussed. Due to there being so many types of treatments, it can be difficult to determine which works better Through examination of case studies in lung cancer trials, it is evident which treatments are the most effective. One also has to take into account the issue of every individual being different, having different genetics

Cancer: Silent Killer By: Wynne Michael David S. Gogo Submitted to: Ms. Katrina Q. Sundo Abstract Cancer nowadays is very widespread. But what is cancer? Cancer, known medically as a malignant neoplasm, is a large group of different diseases, all involving unregulated cell growth. In cancer, cells divide and grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors, and invade nearby parts of the body. The cancer may also spread to

Impact of Pediatric Cancer on Child Survivors Introduction Cancer is an exceptionally uncommon infection in kids. Every year about eight thousand children are identified to have some type of cancer (Cancer.org). Evidently, the Cancer.org site identifies that due to the recent advances in medical treatment a number of these children have been cured. Notwithstanding, there have been great improvements in survival rates with increases of the number of children beating pediatric cancer increasing daily

Stomach Cancer Stomach Cancer is cancer of the stomach which is also known as Gastric Cancer. It is a disease where malignant cells arise from the lining of the stomach which could eventually grow into a tumor found in the upper part of the abdomen and just below the ribs. Since the stomach is a part of the body’s digestive system, it produces acids and enzymes that break down food before passing through the small intestine which can cause the cancer to develop in any part of the stomach and spreads

Introduction Cancer Background Cancer is a disease that is characterized by rapid, unrestricted proliferation (cellular reproduction) of abnormal cells in an organism. Although there is not a single cause for cancer, there are several environmental and genetic factors that have been associated with the development of cancer. These factors include exposure to carcinogens such as tobacco, ultraviolet light, radiation, and various toxins; inheritance of damaged genes that promote tumorigenesis (the

Liver cancer Humans simply can not live without the liver; it is even in the name “Liver”. The liver is composed of four lobes and is located in the right side of the body. As the heaviest organ, the liver performs a plethora of functions simultaneously. It acts as a refinery by filtering and purifying blood. Moreover, the liver stores carbohydrates by converting it to simple sugars. The liver also takes a major part in digestion by producing bile. Bile is an essential component in processing

Cancer is very uncommon in children but, sadly, it does happen. Cancer does not discriminate. It can affect both boys and girls, those of any race or social class, and it can be diagnosed in babies as well as young adults. The most common types of childhood cancers are leukemia, lymphoma, and brain cancer. Most cancers in children result from mutations in the genes of growing cells, which is much different than cancer in adults where it is primarily attributed to lifestyle or environmental factors
