was Cigarette Smoking Associated with Lung Adenocarcinoma in Situ in a Large Case-Control Study (SFBALCS). The objective of this study was “designed to understand why nonsmokers are associated with Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), which is common cause of lung cancer in cigarette smokers” (Bracci et al.). Statistics show that 80 % to 90% of lung cancer cases are from smoking. “Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), formerly bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC), is not so common subtype of lung adenocarcinoma and

developing breast cancer, there presence alone does not always result in breast cancer. The two genes that are indicative of breast cancer are BRCA1 and BRCA2. However, these genes are not the only indicators of breast cancer, although, there presence carries the greatest chance of development. The other genes that also serve as indicators of possible breast cancer are CHEK2, PTEN, TP53, PALB2, STK11, and CDH1. These genes are extremely significant because the presence or absence of a mutation form

evaluation of the lymph node is inadequate, or the findings on cytologic and sonographic evaluations are divergent [43–45]. HPV detection may be performed by means of a variety of methods, including p16 as a surrogate immunohistochemical marker, in situ hybridization and/or polymerase chain reaction detection of viral DNA or RNA [4,46–48]. Chandan et al found glucose transporter-1 immunostaining to be a useful adjunct in differentiating BrCC from cystic metastasis of H&N SCC [49]. Pai et al reported

rate. Non melanoma skin cancers, such as Basal Cell Carcinoma, have a higher survival rate. “More than almost 90 out of every 100 people (90%) with basal cell skin cancer are cured” and “about 90 out of every 100 people with squamous cell skin cancer are cured” (“Skin Cancer”). Basal Cell Carcinoma are growths that appear from basal cells. Basal cell carcinoma, unlike Melanoma skin cancer, does not spread throughout the body. Squamous cell carcinoma are not only growths that appear from the squamous

Mexico by the year 2010 however, the cervical cancer death rate in the United States has not met its target by the deadline. Therefore, the area of cervical cancer is an important area of concern in the US-Mexico border. New objectives for cervical carcinoma has been set in the “Healthy Border 2020”. The new objectives include decreasing the mortality in women of 25 years or older by 20%; maintaining screening for women between 25 to 64 years at 80%; screen for women at 21 years and older; maintaining

The remarkable story of Henrietta Lacks was just the beginning of successful cell culture: a process by which cells are grown in a laboratory under controlled conditions. Prior to this, researchers had attempted to cultivate human tissue in the lab, but failed. Through the pain and anguish the Lacks family experienced, a new era in the scientific world was born. As a black woman in the fifties, she had the least resources available to her in terms of medical care. When she got sick, there was only

adexna uteri- fallopian tubes, ovaries, and supporting ligaments. Amenorrhea- absence of menstrual flow Amniocentesis- aspiration of a small amount of amniotic fluid for analysis of possible fetal abnormalities Amnion- Innermost membranous sac surrounding the developing fetus amniotic fluid- fluid within the amniotic sac that surrounds and protects the fetus anovulatory- not accompanied by ovulation (release of eggs from the ovary) areola- dark-pigmented area surrounding the breast nipple Bartholin

About 61,000 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer). About 40,450 women will die from breast cancer. Approximately 140,000 people are diagnosed with colon cancer in the U.S. and over 50,000 people die from

Breast Cancer Unfortunately, as most of us know cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in our society. Breast Cancer is the second leading cause of death in women in the United States, next to lung cancer and also the most common cancer diagnosed in women. Over one million people are diagnosed with cancer every year in the U.S. alone. As many people are aware of today, due to uncontrolled growth of cells within in the body, cancer is developed through this. During class Dr. Weilert asked us whether

The National Health Service Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) was started in 1987 as a result of a working group of Chief Medical Officers of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The report put forward recommendations, for screening women aged 50-70 for breast cancer, indicating that the best way to reduce mortality from the disease, is to detect it before symptoms develop. This is job of NHSBSP. (Forrest 1986) The age of women being called for screening has been extended to women aged
