Ovarian Cancer: Development, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Ovarian cancer is the rapid and unregulated division of the ovarian cells and is referred to as the ‘most lethal gynaecologic cancer’ (1). Despite a small lifelong risk of only 1.3% in the general population and only a small proportion of 1.3% of all new cancers, ovarian cancer is the fifth-leading cause of cancer-related death in women (2). This essay will give an insight into the development of this type of cancer, the symptoms, diagnosis

finding of a sublingual cyst during a third trimester ultrasound. Postnatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a lesion with peripheral enhancement on the anterior and inferior aspect of the tongue, consistent with a lymphatic malformation. While intervention was not required for the patient, this report outlines the risks, including airway obstruction, and possible treatments for LMs.  Finally, we explore the impact of sonography in the prenatal detection of oral cysts, and discuss how sonographers

an issue which has not yet been settled. The cost for anyone seeking to buy birth control without insurance ranges anywhere between twenty-five to eight hundred dollars.

Mechanisms by which obesity impair ovarian functions Both animal and clinical studies have demonstrated that obesity leads to ovarian dysfunction through oxidative and ER stress and inflammation (26,65,66,74-78). Obesity leads to excess lipids, glucose, insulin, and leptin in variety of ovarian cells including: granulosa cells, cumulus cells, oocytes, and early embryos (ref more;(65,79,80)). Because leptin contributes to follicular growth, steroidogenesis, oocyte maturation and embryo development

Sebaceous cyst is believed to be a non cancerous, it is a small bump beneath the skin, slowly growing and often painless.

against Johnson & Johnson claiming that the company failed to warm women that if they used the powder on or near the pelvic area, they were at a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer. Recently, one woman received an award of $417 million after she was able to show that she used Johnson and Johnson baby powder and developed ovarian cancer soon thereafter. According to the New York Times, “Eva Echeverria, 63, of East Los Angeles is one of thousands of women who have sued the consumer products giant

Ovarian Cancer is one of the rarest undetected cancer that begins in the ovaries, spreading through the pelvis and the belly. The ovarian cancer is about 3% of cancers among women. It causes one of the most deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. It is not clear on what causes the ovarian cancer, but it can be one of the deadliest cancer of all. Females are more at risk of getting ovarian cancer as they age. Ovarian Cancer is more common in women of age 55; women who take

Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that involves the reproductive glands females only, the ovaries. Ovaries contain 3 cells: surface epithelium, germ cells, and stromal cells. The surface epithelium are what cover the outer lining of the ovaries. Germ cells are cells that are bound to form eggs. Stromal cells are cells that release hormones and connects many different structures of the ovaries. Each of the cells can develop into different types of tumors. In most cases of ovarian cancer the epithelial
