Cancer is without a doubt a scary and deadly disease to have, but is it solely responsible for killing the patient? The term cancer is a term used for a several related diseases. All cancer has the similar abnormality where cells grow at an uncontrollable and exponential rate. In a healthy person “cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them” (Institute). As the cells age they naturally

I remember the day so vividly, the day that my life changed for the worst. It was just like every other year. We were going to get Tux, my cat, shaved. He’s a long-haired cat so we get him shaved every summer so he does not get unbearably hot. This year was slightly different, though. Along with getting him shaved, we were getting some potential tumors checked to see if they were cancerous, and get them removed. Although I was nervous about the tumors, I did not think much of it because nobody expects

Comparative proteomics analysis of urine reveals down-regulation of Acute Phase Response Signaling and LXR/RXR activation pathways in prostate cancer Abstract: Detecting prostate cancer (PCa) using non-invasive diagnostic markers still remains a challenge. The aim of this study was the identification of urine proteins sufficiently sensitive and specific to detect PCa in the early stages. Comparative proteomics profiling of urine from patients with PCa, benign prostate hyperplasia, bladder cancer

INTRODUCTION Cancer is given to a whole collection of related diseases. Cancer cells begin to divide unregulated and spread into surrounding tissues. Scientists have proposed that lots of SP2 protein may transform to normal cells into cancer cells. In addition, the deprivation of specific co-stimulated molecules can impair the natural killer cells ability and lead to the cancer. Cancer occurs almost anyplace in the human body. Cells become old and become more abnormal or cells, which are damaged

Brain tumor is a congregation or growth of abnormal cells in the brain. There are many different types of brain tumors exist. Some brain tumors are benign and some are malignant (cancer). Brain tumors can start in the brain, or cancer can start in other parts of the body and spread to the brain. Most benign brain tumors do not contain cancer cells. Usually benign tumors can be removed and less relapse. The boundary of benign is usually clear, and the cells of benign tumors do not invade surrounding

"I beg you, ... Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." Wrote by Rainer Maria Rilke, a Bohemian-Austrian poet and novelist. Widely known by most people, brain tumors affect lives everyday. The average person does not know the types of tumors, factors

To the best of my understanding, the review article ‘Watchful waiting for prostate cancer’ discusses early detection and treatment of prostate cancer whilst questioning the efficacy of aggressive treatment in comparison to other methods such as watchful waiting (or delayed, conservative therapy). “Watchful waiting is an approach to a medical problem in which time is allowed to pass before medical intervention or therapy is used. During this time repeated medical testing may be performed”. The rationalization

Brain cancer is a type of cancer that is located in the brain. First, the cancer starts out as a cell and then it progresses into a larger, more compacted bunch of cells which is called a tumor. Ultimately, cancer can start in different parts of the body and move to the brain or vice versa. Not to mention, cancer can take over any cell without any warning. Therefore there are many symptoms of brain cancer which include headaches, memory loss, vision problems, difficulty with balance, speech difficulty

disequilibrium between acetylation and deacetylation leading to apoptosis of the transformed neoplastic cells. In addition, these inhibitors have also been shown in vitro to induce redifferentiation of cancer cells by restoring the function of the sodium–iodine symporter (NIS), and thus, they may restore the iodine uptake by the refractory TCs [30]. Vorinostat, a small molecule inhibitor of HDAC, has been studied in small phase I and II trials in patients with refractory DTCs; however, the results

Today i am going to write about a very memorable time of my life. I will never in a million years forget this very major event. I bet you're wondering ‘‘what, just tell me,’’ am i right? Well ill tell you My mom had been diagnosed with cancer about 3 years ago. FOR THE SECOND TIME. The type of cancer was Appendix cancer. My mom got it removed so don't worry. It took alot though and it was rough. I for sure won't forget that it was definitely memorable not in the good way unfortunately. My grandparents
