In this procedure doctors can check the axillary lymph nodes that they are having cancer or not without actually removing them. Removing the axillary nodes in huge manner increases the risk of lymphedema so for reducing this kind of risk of lymphedema this SLNB is performed or done. in this procedure surgeon first finds and removes the lymph nodes in which there is high risk of developing a tumor this is performed by injecting a radioactive substance blue dye into the tumor to area around it or…

Cancer has affected many of people all around the world. There is so many types of cancer’s today that have affected many of different people. Cancer can happen to just about anyone. I will discuss and go over about what is Cancer and how it is treated. Cancer is caused by uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in different parts of the body. Cancer can progress slowly or fast it just depends on your body and the rate at which the abnormal cells or dividing. Cancer is one of the five major…

Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma Response Evaluation By Liji Thomas, MD Relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) is a condition that requires a careful selection of treatment options. It often occurs in older people, who may have significant comorbidities, or who may have more advanced grades or stages of the cancer. Various treatment schedules are thus used in relapsed or refractory lymphoma, which must be evaluated for evidence and amplitude of response. This may begin with…

There are nerve cells running through the entire length of the body and this includes the organs. Have you ever thought why you are not experiencing any forms of pain, when you are stretching? The internal organs, primarily the lungs are rubbing against the chest cavity, and yet you are never experiencing any form of pain. The same can be applied when you are breathing heavily. We are not experiencing pain because almost all the major organs and cavities within the body are lined by mesothelium.…

It has been about a year since I found out I had cancer. Having cancer affected my school work, my taekwondo training, and my emotional and physical self. In November of 2014, after being sick for months, my father brought me to the doctor to see what was going wrong with me. After being examined by the doctor, she told me I had strep throat and my neck was swollen because of it. She told me that if the swelling in my neck didn't go down in a few months I was to make another appointment to see…

doing this experiment. First thing is how strong is the radiation based on the distance from the source and if thickness of the material effects how much radiation gets through. Introduction-One thing to know about this experiment is Isotopes.Isotopes of an element are different versions with same number of neutrons but different number of neutrons. Also these isotopes can be unstable which means they decay overtime releasing radiation. Radiation is the what we are going to look at while doing…

There are two main methods for physicians to diagnose prostate cancer. Detection of this form of cancer is often done through physical examination, or with blood tests. Additional methods of diagnosing prostate cancer include, biopsy, cystoscopy, and transrectal ultrasonography. Because there are rarely symptoms associated with early prostate cancer, most people who develop this disease will be diagnosed through a routine screening, or it may be discovered as they are being tested for a…

How a Geiger counter works is when Radiation is moving around randomly or coming out of a tested radioactive substance outside the detector tube, the radiation enters the gap on the end of the tube. When the radioactive nuclei and the inert gas molecules(this is found in the tube) bump into each other it causes ionization, some of the gas molecules are turned into positive ions and electrons, the positive ions are attracted to the outside of the tube. The electrons are attracted to a metal wire…

Introduction A wave is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space. Waves are caused by vibrations. There are two types of waves, transverse, and longitudinal waves. The moving particles in transverse waves travel at right angles to the direction of transverse. Some examples of transverse waves are light waves and radio waves. A longitudinal wave is also known as a compression wave. The moving particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave.…

Exposure to ionizing radiation can happen internally or externally. Internal exposure may result by “inhalation, ingestion or through the bloodstream”. External exposure can transpire by breathing in “airborne radioactive Material”. Other external sources to ionizing radiation are cause by medical radiation through the imaging department. This medical procedures include x-rays for diagnosing and treatment, and even research. Gamma rays are also use by medical doctors to create radioactive…
