Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that is formed by malignant plasma cells. To explain what a plasma cell is, let’s start by talking about lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are one of the main types of cells that make up the immune system. A lymphocyte further differentiates into B cells and T cells. B cells mature and transform into plasma cells. This type of cell makes antibodies (immunoglobulins) that respond to infection by attacking and killing germs. Unlike lymphocytes that are found in many…

End to end, that would form a line that would circle the earth twice (Li). Blood vessels can create life, but blood vessels can also cause death.

William Li uses multiple case studies and…

Squamous cell carcinomas of the lungs, head and neck, esophagus, and cervix account for over 400,000 deaths per year. Finding a way to effectively treat this type of cancer is very important for the well being of people. In this primary research article, the authors attempt to find a mechanism by which squamous cell carcinoma proliferation and invasion are inhibited. They use the cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), which is a tumor suppressor, to show that it is possible to prevent squamous cell…

Less than total thyroidectomy (lobectomy, partial or subtotal thyroidectomy) is used mainly to treat thyroid nodules, and/or hyperthyroidism. Lately, there is a trend towards less extensive thyroid surgery even in cases of thyroid cancer. Complications such as recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and postoperative hypocalcemia have led the surgeons toward less extensive surgical practice, especially in cases of benign thyroid disease. The main indications for surgical treatment of thyroid nodules…
