Breast cancer treatment depends on many factors such as the location of the cancer, the size, if it’s spread and the patient’s general health. Also, treatment currently includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy and targeted cancer drugs (Cancer Research UK, 2017a). Further, surgery includes lumpectomy which removes just the cancerous area in an attempt to keep the majority of the breast tissue and has a much shorter recovery time and mastectomy which removes the entirety of the

Imagine finding out that your child was diagnosed with cancer. I bet a million questions would be going through your head. How much is the treatment going to cost? How are we going to get to the hospital every time my child needs treatment? And how are we going to pay to get to there? Where will we stay? Should we rent an apartment or pay for a hotel? How much will housing cost? There are several answers to all of those questions. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude (“St. Jude Facts; Quick

Comprehensive genomic characterization of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) reported 279 HNSCCs, and provides a comprehensive landscape of somatic genomic mutations (The cancer genome atlas network, 2015). In this 172 patients were identified with oral cavity, 33 oropharynx and 72 laryngeal sites, and most patients were male with heavy smokers. Patient samples were classified as HPV-positive test that showed 36 tumors were HPV (+) and 243 were HPV (-). Majorly

Prevalence of Human Papillomavirus –associated oropharyngeal cancer. Abstract Introduction Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OPSCC) is type of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that occurs in the oropharynx and in other parts of the oral cavity, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, or oesophagus at the same time. OPSCC is one of the most common cancer in the globe, it has been reported that the incidence of OPSCC has increased over the past several decades in many developed countries

Emerging Technology Brief MelaFind Optical Scanner and Early Detection of Melanoma Overview: The most deadly form of skin cancer is melanoma. Of importance to me, the only way a doctor can know with certainty if a mole is cancerous, using current policy is to perform a surgical biopsy. Consequently, large amount of cautious looking moles after invasive surgical biopsy, end up being benign or non cancerous. In an effort to decrease the amount of melanoma biopsies being performed, decrease the number

Introduction Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world (Ferlay et al., 2015) and in recent years there have been many studies to carry out new methods for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of tumor cells and to decrease the side effects of treatment (Tao et al., 2015). In many of these methods a trace of nanotechnology can be found using different type of nanoparticles. In general, nanoparticles have dimensions between 1-100 nm2. Metal nanoparticles are at the center of attention

For decades, numerous research have concluded that the incidence rate of breast cancer is lower in African-American women when compared to that of Caucasian women. However, in recent years, there has been an upsurge in incidence rate of breast cancer in African-American women. In states such as Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Tennessee, African-American women record higher incidence rates than Caucasian women (Breast Cancer Rates Rising among African-American Women, 2015). Nonetheless, even though

Mammography can detected breast disease when a woman has the examination. It is an x-ray image of the breast that can detect breast cancer in the women and differences in tissue densities of breasts. Mammography plays a key role when it’s comes to detecting early breast cancer. The history of mammography, become essential to the diagnostic tool, the equipment, improving through the years, and even to become the mammographer needs certificate/registry from ARRT. When x-ray technology was first created

Leukemia is the most common cancer diagnosed among children with its types being Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or Acute Myelogenous leukemia (AML). Children are more commonly diagnosed with ALL and although the survival rate with treatment has increased to 90% over the years (depending on how developed the cancer was among diagnosis) (Acute, 2015), there are many factors that contribute to a child developing or dying from this horrible disease. This review looks at 6 sources that discuss many

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the world today among female. It is one of the leading cancers in Nepalese women and is in ever-increasing trend. Following mastectomy, the survivors suffer from many problems, which lead to several disorders and decrease in their quality of life (QOL). The objective of this study is to find out the quality of life of mastectomy survivors in Kathmandu valley. A descriptive cross sectional design was used. A total of 107 mastectomy survivors were selected
