of saying that it’s their mission to help and contribute of curing and preventing cancer. Breast cancer is one of the many forms of cancer that runs in my family. I have seen my great grandmother to my older sister who diagnosed and caught early when she was 21 have their own personal fight with cancer. I want to work at Moffitt Cancer Center, because I want to help patients, visitors, and staff fight against cancer. I get to work alongside people who want to do the same thing I’m in this field…
Thus, drinking green tea daily or regularly will give many people an opportunity to not experience cancer or at least, delay tumor growth. Even thought green tea can not fully prevent people from getting cancer, it can help people by slowing down the tumor growth so that it does not spread to the other organs. By slowing down the spread, patients may have time to detect cancer in its early…
damaged or excessive mitochondria, especially when cells are under adverse stress. Mitophagy has been identified as the cause of various human diseases and even cancer. In recent years, researchers gradually regard mitophagy as the target for cancer treatment, although the role of mitophagy in the developmental and metabolic process of cancer is still not clear. In this experiment, we used C. elegans as a model for mitochondria dysfunction drug treatment to test whether drugs have different…
“The Bitter Pill” starts off with an acrimonious tale of how a man that was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma ended up borrowing from his in-law to pay for his exorbitant cancer treatments. After I picked my jaw from my desk, I started pondering what could the cancer treatment breakdown be that warrants the price to be so high? I, of course, am aware of how corrupt the healthcare system is in the US, but, to what extent, not so much. The medical jargon used in the hospital bill, along with…
Preimplantation genetic testing is a genetic technique in which cells are removed from embryos to examine chromosomal abnormalities in vitro fertilization before a woman gives birth (King). Embryos made through in vitro fertilization would face genetic modification to avoid passing the defects onto future generations. After modification, only embryos free of abnormalities would be placed into the mother’s womb. This technique is targeted for parents who have a high risk of passing a fatal…
Every person has the right to health and wellness. There is no requirement for it other than freedom of choice. An individual can be living a process of mental and physical soundness and remain physically challenged; of a particular age; suffering; flawed. No matter what the condition of health, an individual can start to appreciate themselves as a developing and transforming person that let them change concerning a happier life and optimistic health. Wellness refers to loving self and taking…
the condition of your cancer, such as how large the tumor is, and whether it has spread (National Cancer Institute, 2015). The stage of cancer during diagnosis is used to refer to it, even where the condition worsens. When new information is added to the previous results, the cancer might change though the stage will remain the same. Staging helps the doctor to determine the proper treatment plan, to gauge the prognosis and share the patient information. “The future of cancer staging lies in…
of a medical condition that was incurable, I would want to enjoy what I had left of my life as well. Surrounded by friends and family, laughing, relaxing, and enjoying every last minute we would get to spend together. In an article When Treating Cancer Is Not an Option, written by Jane Brody and published in the New York Times, many doctors discussed how to approach patients, what to say, and how to encourage them along the way. Doctor Smith stated, “our job is not to force them into acceptance…
comparison between the two since they are two different species being observed. Further research in pattern recognition will allow for advancement in the medical field. As shown in Ninness (2012) study, the neural network 's ability to assess breast cancer cells as its most primary stage is a huge advantage. While the use of nonhuman species is not ideal for generalization, it does allow for the hypothesis and experiments to be thoroughly researched and reliable before being considered on…
H. Fahal. Introduction: Dramatically, Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide, and is ranked second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths (Jemal et al., 2009). Although, the incidence of breast cancer in Sub-Saharan African counties is low compared that in developed countries (Pakin et al., 1999), the cancer picture in Sub-Saharan Africa and especially in Sudan is changing. Lately, breast cancer incidence and mortality has been raised. Fine…
