Research in cancer occurs in a wide range of scientific fields. The major categories of research are: – laboratory; – epidemiological; – clinical; – psychosocial and behavioural; – health systems and health policies. Most laboratory research is currently conducted in industrialized countries. It focuses on the elucidation of the biological mechanisms underlying cancer. Recent investigations of genetic and molecular/biological processes have produced dramatic and very promising results. Despite this

A review of the records reveals the member to be an adult female with a birth date of 11/12/1947. The member has a diagnosis of endometrial cancer and serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC). The member’s treating provider, William Cliby, MD recommended the member have a positron emission tomography (PET) scan performed. The carrier has denied coverage of the PET scan as not medically necessary. There is a letter from the carrier to the member dated 02012016, which states in part: “After

Cancer, as a general term of many fatal and protean diseases as well as a challenging puzzle in medical field in the world, causes death of a multitude of people. According to the statistics of National Cancer Institute, the cancer mortality is 171.2 per 100,000 men and women per year (based on 2008-2012 deaths) [1], which is indeed a horrible figure. Cancer might occur in everyone's life, like an invisible murder, taking many people's life away ruthlessly. Once I visited a friend of my mother, a

Checking for growth (or for conditions that may get to be disease) in individuals who have no indications is called screening. Screening can help specialists discover and treat a few sorts of tumor early. Early identification is essential in light of the fact that when anomalous tissue or tumor is discovered early, it might be less demanding to treat. When side effects show up, malignancy may have started to spread and is harder to treat. A few screening tests have been appeared to identify tumor

1. Introduction and Problem Statement: Cancer has a major societal impact in the United States and across the globe. In 2015, an estimated 1,658,370 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in United States, and 589,430 people are estimated to die of the disease. Unfortunately, low cancer cell availability in human samples is a current barrier for early disease detection. There is an unmet medical need to improve methods of early cancer detection so that patients can receive treatment before cancer

CHAPTER TWO LITERATURE REVIEWS ON BIOSENSORS AND RISK PERPECTION AND COMMUNICATIONS 1) INTRODUCTION In time past, work relating to this project has been done. This Chapter aims at reviewing such works, compare research studies and provide a work base for this project. Cancer diagnosis is presently undergoing a paradigm shift with the integration of molecular biomarkers as part of a routine diagnostic panel. The molecular shift ranges from those comprising of the DNA, RNA, microRNAs (miRNAs) and proteins

Breast cancer treatment and therapy with nanomedicine is a fad nowadays and rightfully so, it is the need of the minute. The incidence rate of breast cancer has witnessed a minimum 10-fold increase in the past few decades. The mortality rate in women is rising and breast cancer is a major contributing factor. Due to several changes in the hormonal, nutritional and environmental factors over the years, there is a shift observed in the rise of breast cancer. At a point, conventional mammography for

Primary Care Testing for Cancer Cell by Ion Exchange For people with concerns about health issues, the physician 's office is usually the first contact with healthcare. Physician’s waiting room is usually busy with patients of all ages with different symptoms and reasons for being there. With a physician’s competence and medical experience, they know what can be easily cured, what should be followed up, and what needs to be referred to a specialist. The accurate testing of clinical parameters is

Tumors are one of the most feared diseases of our time. Many people upon hearing the word “tumor” immediately resonate to the conclusion of it being cancer, which is not necessarily true. Tumors fall into to two main types, benign and malignant. Although they are considerably different in tissue invasion, their nature that makes them distinct and symptoms, they are also quite similar in the way they recur in the same location, growth size and their health risks. The first difference in

Summary: why do cancers have high aerobic glycolysis Authors: Robert A. Gatenby* and Robert J. Gillies‡ Carsinogenesis is not something that occurs spontaniously, it is something that occurs by somatic evolution. As it is evolving, it retains phynotypic properties that will help it have a better fitness and growth rate. One of the property that is obseserved in invasive cancer is upregulation of glucose. Because of this observation, many studyies with different hypothesis have emerged trying to
