Benign tumor

experience a fever, muscle aches, cough and fatigue. Over time, as the infection persists your immune system will start to attack not just the virus but the normal tissues as well. In the later stages where HIV turns into AIDS, your body can develop tumors, infections and central nervous system symptoms. This is caused due to the lymphocyte count being 200 or lower in the body. In this stage the body’s immune system is so weak that a common illness such as pneumonia can be the cause of death.…

indazole-3-carboxylic acid. [4] When originally discovered, Lonidamine was used as an infertility drug. [4] Through later research, Lonidamine was seen to have desirable effects on cancer cells. Lonidamine was then used as a drug for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the enlargement of the prostate gland in males. This causes symptoms like discomfort, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating. [1] This can be caused by prostate cancer. Lonidamine inhibits the…

trinity of manual examination, imaging methods and non-surgical biopsy (which is sometimes also known as the triple test). Total diagnostic efficacy of the aforementioned three modalities is between 70% and 80%, although they can distinguish between benign and malignant lesions with 95% accuracy rate. Generally there is an agreement that fibroadenomas can be successfully diagnosed before an operation with a high degree of certainty. Medical history and manual palpation Women who present…

Tumor describes an abnormal growth of body cells due to an excessive cell proliferation. An excessive cell proliferation refers to a sudden, rapid and extreme expansion or procreation of body cells, which are the basic units of all living things. (1,2,3). According to Cancer Research UK, in 2012, 14 million new cases and 8, 2 million deaths reported from global tumors (4). Generally, the human body consists of millions of cells that grow, split and die in a tightly organized procedure. Normally,…

Bone Cancer is a malignant tumor of the bone that destroys normal bone tissue. Benign bone tumors are more common than malignant ones. Benign tumors do not spread, do not destroy bone tissue, and are rarely a threat to life. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, was first found in 1869 by French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, but it wasn’t until 1939 that Lou Gehrig brought national and international attention to the disease. (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative…

The most common type of gynecologic cancer is uterine cancer. Nearly 40 percent of cancers are related to diseases of the uterus. Typically, cells play an important role in determining cancer. All organs and…

brain tumors in the past and scrolled pass the information as if the term brain tumor was just any other term. Perhaps, I scrolled past articles on brain tumors because irrationality activated out of fear. Consequently, the irrational side of me thought scrolling past proclaimed being immune to develop such disease. Nevertheless, I cast irrationality out of my mind and researched brain tumors. Of course, as I procured knowledge on brain tumors through an article I read, the term brain tumor did…

Abstract In the world that people live in today contains many causes to death. One of the main causes to death in our world today is cancer. Cancer is one of the top leading causes of death in the United States. But have you ever asked yourself what exactly is cancer. Cancer is a disease when cells begin to grow out of control and begin to spread abnormally throughout the body. Due to the growing of these abnormal cells it can result to changing how your body should work. There are many types…

In malignant tumors, cells may move away from the “primary” tumor and travel through the blood or lymph system to other parts of the body and continue to grow at that site. This is commonly known as metastasis [muh-tas-tuh-sis] or secondary cancer. Metastasis is very dangerous because the primary tumor could form another tumor in a distant part of the body very quickly. Even though the cancer is in a new location, the…

includes fatty and fibrous connective tissues. Once the cells have multipled or tripled, they usually form a tumor that can be detected on an x-ray, or can be felt as a lump around the breast area. There are two types of breast cancer tumors, and four different stages. The types are malignant and benign, malignant being cancerous and aggressive because they invade and damage surrounding tissue. Benign meaning a mass of cells that has the ineptitude to invade adjoning tissue or metastasize…
