Cancer research

Cancer in many ways is a mystery and this is why my investigation is always up for questioning and rethinking what could fully cause cancer. Despite this, my research is based on facts and causes that can be supported by experiments and experts. I have come to the conclusion that the obvious tobacco and an extended amount of sun exposure can cause cancer, but also some that surprised me obesity, alcohol abuse, and environmental factors such as food nutrient availability as well as some types of foods

leading causes of death in the world is cancer. There are various types of cancers but the one that will be discussed is gastric cancer, also referred to as stomach cancer. Gastric cancer is difficult to diagnose at an early stage due to the fact that the symptoms of the disease are quite similar to the symptoms of every day stomach issues such as indigestion, loss of appetite, and heart burn, just to name a few (Gastric Cancer Treatment 2015). In most cases, the cancer is not discovered until it is in

Ovarian Cancer Introduction Ovarian cancer is a disease of an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells that are in the ovaries. Ovaries produce eggs as well as hormones (estrogen, progestogen). Ovarian cancer is found in women because they have two ovaries (the size of an almond) located on each side of the ovaries (Ovarian cancer, 2000). Ovarian Cancer affects a lot of women. Statistics show that the risk of getting and dying from ovarian cancer is one in ninety-five. This cancer is the eighth most

Prostate cancer treatment is explored by three different solutions: surgical, radiation, and hormonal treatment. The surgical removal of prostate cancer has for many years been the most common treatment of the disease. (Fuller, 2006) This process has been very controversial. Many argue that surgery is the only real solution for permanently curing prostate cancer. Other challengers claim that the central influence of surgery is to produce incontinence and impotence without any clear evidence, compared

First I would like to clarify that I am not a doctor. I can not give diagnosis nor prescribe drugs. For a diagnosis, please see your doctor.

the American Cancer Society deaths are decreasing since the 1990s but it will still kill around 565 thousand Americans per year. The Denver metro area has a population of 2.7 million people, that is 21% of the population of Denver that is killed by cancer each year. The American Cancer Society informs us that 1.4 million new cancer cases are found each year, everyone knows someone that had or has cancer. Even today my grandfather is receiving chemotherapy to fight his lymphoma cancer. The problem

Mechanisms for Cancer Resistance in Elephants and Comparative Cellular Response to DNA Damage in Humans. JAMA. 314(17):1850-1860.doi:10.1001/jama.2015.13134 Questions 1. Why were elephants considered for cancer research? 2. Why might elephants have evolved to be more resistant to cancers than other mammals? 3. Are there other mammals possessing multiple copies of p53 genes? 4. How is p53 expressed when there are multiple copies? 5. What are the implications of this research for medicine

Lungs: Infected with Cancer How does physical activity affect the growth of cancer in the lungs? Lungs are a major part of the respiratory system. They are responsible for filtering carbon dioxide out of the air we inhale and sending oxygen into the bloodstream to aid in breathing. When that system is tampered with, things can go wrong. Different treatment methods have different levels of success and each target certain areas of the cancer in attempt to destroy the disease. This report investigates

Introduction Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer today. Skin cancer can be defined as the abnormal growth of a patients skin cells. Often the cancer develops on skin most often exposed to the sun. The three most common types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. It is important to identify which type of skin cancer a patient may have as the treatments and prognoses are different for the different types of skin cancer. This paper will take

about the discovery of cancer cells, and how different doctors and physicians have tried to get a better understand of it over the centries. The causes of and treatment plans as well as trying to prevent cancer. Breast cancer, happened to be the first cancer cell discovered, so this paper is going to concentrate specifically on breast cancer. It will talk about the different treatment plans that can be considered as well as ways to prevent breast cancer. Introduction Cancer begins when cells in
