Cancer Fighting Nanobots Many people have speculated on a cure for cancer, but would you imagine it being as small as a nanobot? As thousands of people may ponder if there may actually be a cure, there may just now be one. Shawn Douglas, a research major at the Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, may have found one. This invention may just be the solution to help save millions of lives. According to various researchers, including, Shawn Douglas, a research fellow at Harvard’s

Although cancer of the lung is the number one cause of death by cancer, it is the least funded out of all major carcinomas. Even without including the number of smokers that die from this disease it continues to be the largest cancer killer of all. Lung cancer can be prevented to an extent in a variety of ways and different approaches, but usually isn’t well detected before it’s too late. About 30 percent of patients diagnosed with lung cancer are at stage III at the time of diagnosis. The five-year

This original research focuses on defining cancer immunotherapy and the different types of immunotherapy that has received regulatory approval within the past twenty-five years. Cancer immunotherapy also known as biotherapy is "the manipulation of the immune system, or utilization of components of the immune system, as the cancer treatment."

Turns out that prostate cancer is more deadly for your health than you may realize. Research has indicated that prostate cancer is more likely to be observed rather than treated directly. These observations come from the University of California, San Francisco, where the concerns of overtreatment are being addressed.

There are two kinds of pancreatic cancer. There is the endocrine tumors and the exocrine tumors. Endocrine tumors are less common and they affect the islet cells of the pancreas. They tend to be benign and not often become malignant. However the exocrine tumors are much more common and this is what Gene is diagnosed with. Exocrine tumors are often called adenocarcinomas and that means cancer affect the gland cells such as the ducts of the glands (American Cancer Society). Pancreatic adenocarcinomas

Radiation and chemotherapy may only partially penetrate a tumor; remaining malignant tissue will allow the cancer to reoccur within the patient. Incomplete tumor removal is a risk associated with surgical removal of cancerous tissue.3 Additionally, studies have shown that radiation promotes cancerous cell growth. Radiation promotes a cellular process known as

Cancer is a major issue in our country today due to it having no cure, and it’s one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. I’ve been personally affected by this tragic disease by losing my uncle to colorectal cancer at the age of twelve.

The thyroid is the producer of many different hormones, which regulate your heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and even weight. One of the main reasons this disorder is rarely discussed, would
