The Cancer Journals

Another experiment was conducted, by a journal named Contemporary Clinical Trials, who tested to determine whether a probiotic used in a treatment would help stop or reduce symptoms of the C. difficile infection in older adults. Current standard antibiotics used to treat difficile infection are

The HPV vaccine and its effect on cancer screening and prevention Introduction Human Papillomavirus(HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) around 20 million people are infected with HPV and additional 6.2 million people are newly infected every year. According to National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2003-2004 among sexually active women (57% of 14 to 19 years and 97% of 20 to

Lung cancer has impacted many people’s lives in the world today. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death caused by cancer in the United States (Lewis, 2014, pg. 535). The diagnosis of lung cancer is proceeded by a low cure rate and a high mortality rate. Diagnosis of lung cancer increases the person’s level of physical distress, psychological distress and social isolation (Johnston, 2013). Due to the low cure rate, palliative care becomes essential after the diagnosis of incurable/inoperable lung

Marie Brady-Whitcanac 12/2/2014 African American with stage IV colon cancer African Americans carry an uneven share of the cancer load in the United States, having the highest death rate and shortest survival of any racial or ethnic group for most cancers.

inversely correlate to income and obesity (French, 2003; Drewnowski, & Specter, 2004; Cawley, 2004). Extending the consequences of dietary choices one step further are an array of diseases, including diminished immunities, diabetes, heart disease and cancer resulting from poor choices. We can identify the problem but how can we effect a solution? Obesity among low socioeconomic populations is increasing due to the lack of environmental factors and resources available to the community (Powell, Auld,

genes and their outcome, has advanced tremendously in the last 20 years. Understanding an individual’s genetic composition and environmental risk factors are critical to predicting disease before the onset of symptoms. By positively identifying the cancer markers with genetic screening, the natural progression of disease can either be slowed or stopped. Through the United States Services Preventative Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations, the Affordable Health Care Act (ACA), objective is to provide

the causal agent. Nonetheless, Vinies argues cause-effect relations are more complicated. In his letter, he uses the correlation of coffee consumption with pancreatic cancer. During his time period, Professor McMahon from Harvard University published a report in the New England Journal of Medicine, claiming the risk of pancreatic cancer increased with high consumption of coffee. Nonetheless, several

Review article A Review on Management of Colo-rectal Cancer: Nano-technology Qurat Ul Ain, Nabeela Shaheen, Sadia Tabassum, Riphah Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (RIPS), Riphah International University, G 7/4, 7th Avenue, Islamabad, Pakistan. Abstract: Colorectal cancer is one of the fatal diseases of this era with quite higher incidence rate. Due to a high fatality rate, health organizations and researchers are continuously looking for new and better management options. In this strive

Although medical science claims the cause of most cancers is unknown, there is evidence accumulated since the late 19th century to show that cancer is a disease caused by infectious bacteria (not to be confused with viruses which are not visible microscopically). In 1890 the noted Scottish pathologist William Russell (1852-1940) discovered round forms in cancer tissue which he interpreted as "the characteristic organism of cancer." These forms were subsequently discredited as infectious agents but
