University of Calgary. Besides her work on education, she is also directing a tumorigenesis research team at the University of Calgary, and a tumor banking program which supports pediatric cancer research. Nonetheless, she is also a member of both the Southern Alberta Cancer Research Institute and the Experimental and Applied Therapeutics Program (ExpAT). Her research team at the University of Calgary is made up of 12 people which include three graduate students. While other investigators are all

In the field of healthcare, there are new discoveries being made often. A lot of these discoveries are due to the advancement of technology and the sciences. In nursing, more specifically, the best care relies on evidence-based research. In the current day, a majority of the focus is geared toward the new discoveries being made. Aside from evidence-based research, there are theoretical advancements that were made which contribute to what nursing is today. Nursing is not just giving “nursing care”

Nearly one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer at some point in her or his life (Breast Cancer Health Center, 2014). I am sure that almost everyone has been affected by breast cancer in one way or another, whether they had it or know someone who has had it. My mom’s aunt had breast cancer, as did my dad’s mother. My great-aunt luckily caught it early on and had it taken care of. Unfortunately, my grandmother caught it too late; it had spread all over her body and eventually

When a patient hears the word cancer, his or her mind often enters complete shock. Then, the questions of, “How serious? Is it treatable? What can I do? How long do I have?” emerge. Patients should not have to ask, “How much will this cost?” Instead, they should have peace of mind knowing that some of their expenses will be covered by a very basic health insurance plan; however, this is often not the case. Unfortunately, Mary Casey, a 57 year old Missouri native, experienced the exact opposite

for Cancer? Imagine a commercial airplane crashed and some of the people on board were killed. It would be on every major news outlet the next day. Now think about how we have the equivalent of 8-10 planes crashing every day killing every person on board with cancer. So why have we had so much time to find a cure, but haven’t been able to come up with one yet? There are some trials that are being worked on around the world right now. For example, in 2013 a trial of an experimental treatment for

The fight against cancer has taken a strange twist for the good. Leukemia is a cancer of the body and the surrounding tissues, which includes the lymphatic system and the bone marrow. There are many types of leukemia. Most forms are more common in children than adults. This is a devastating and cruel disease, that takes the lives of men, women and children. Thousands are diagnosed each year with this unforgiving disease. However, there is a light over the horizon. Researcher’s at the University

Alternative Methods to Treat Cancer Pain Literature Review A Literature review is an essential and intense appraisal of previous research, it bestows a groundwork on which, to base a novel evidence and typically performed afore data collection, for it magnifies upon the aims of selecting a specific research question (Polit & Beck, 2017). Introduction Pain occurs in the human body as the result of a physiological series of electrical and chemical modality; uncontrolled cancer-related aching interposes

Oncology is the study and treatment of cancer. Cancer is a disease that develops when normal cells in certain parts of the body start to grow abnormally and continuously. It has been a plague on human life for a while; in fact, the earliest evidence of the disease was found in ancient Egyptian manuscripts dating back to 1600 BC. It is currently the most diagnosed disease in the world. Pediatric Oncology is a subspecialty of the practice that focuses on the treatment of cancer in children. In earlier

nonjudgmental approach in patient treatment. Animal therapy may be considered unorthodox within standard nursing practice and thus the studies produced have been limited and more inquiry is needed. This paper will discuss the benefits animal therapy can produce for cancer patients psychologically and physiologically as well as increasing job satisfaction for nurses. Its expected outcome is to exemplify animal assisted therapy’s potential as a complementary treatment to traditional nursing practice

Dilemma: Was it the right decision to withhold experimental drug PLX4032 from Mr. Ryan for the sake of following protocol and not tainting the trial’s results, even though standard chemotherapy was ineffective? Assignment 4 (I need a title) The story of Thomas McLaughlin and Brandon Ryan is of a path that suddenly diverged with a roll of a dice. As cousins, not only did they share a life together by riding dirt bikes in the summer, spending holidays together at their grandmother’s house, and even
