Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, it happens when the cells function irregularly and turn itself into the malignant neoplasm. From the biological perspective, human body mechanism will automatically produce the new cells from old cell when an old cell becomes obsolete. In other word, the old cell will die by dividing itself into two new cells. Furthermore, the new cells will take over previous cell’s position to make sure the human body function regularly, and this processing…

example, in hunting and gathering societies, education is quite informal whereas in an advanced agrarian society it is formal and more complex. In hunting and gathering societies education is “recessive” meaning that it is not formally taught. Instead, kids learn by observing their elders do certain roles (like hunting or gathering) while in advanced agrarian societies, kids are formally educated and have an explicit curriculum to follow. In hunting and gathering societies, children are expected…

The article of Norman Yoffee states, “All human societies develop along a universal "evolutionary" trajectory from small and egalitarian to large and socially complex”.

the majority of cases present in young children age five or younger. It is usually present at birth. Retinoblastoma can also be genetic in some cases. Only 150-350 cases present worldwide each year. It is one of the rarest forms of cancer. I chose to research this cancer because of its rarity. Originally, I wanted to research AML (acute myeloid leukemia), and quickly realized I craved to research something that was less common. I found retinoblastoma on MeSH, the Medical Subject Headings, a…

Stop the Cancer Epidemic and Save Millions Who here knows someone with cancer or a cancer survivor? The word “cancer” has been a large part of my life in the past few years, especially when it comes to my aunt. My aunts survived breast cancer over two decades ago. Then in 2015, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. A portion of one of her lungs was removed that summer. Cancer struck again in 2016. Her breast cancer had returned. 12 months after her lung cancer surgery she was back on the…

In Anna’s case her cancer had a genetic component, she had the BRCA gene, which makes people at a much higher risk of developing ovarian cancer (). Had Anna had the genetic screening done to see if she had the BRCA gene, she could have had other options, which could have resulted in a better prognosis for her. For example, she could…
