Carcinoid tumors are one of the neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) that derivate from embryonic neural crestand counting for about 2% of primarylung tumors(12).NEcells derived peptides have importantparacrine regulatory and mitogenic function forbronchial epithelial cells.Exposure to pollutants, hypoxia and cigarettesmoking induce hyperplasia of NE- cells in bronchial and cause mucosa secretion. Pulmonary NETs consist of a group of lesions with incidentalfrom small proliferation of neuroendocrine…

Some help you grow, and some throw you two steps backwards.We may not know it at the time, but the ones that hurt you, end up making you stronger. I was faced with the biggest challenge of my life when I was seven years old, my mother's diagnosis of breast cancer, and I felt like God had abandoned my family. Like he had forgotten we had even existed, or did not want anything to do with us. Everyday we would pray, and it felt like our prayers were not being answered, although they were. There…

Breast cancer has definitely become a serious worldwide health challenge. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), public health data points shows that the global burden of breast cancer in women, measured by the number of times something happens, death, and financial based costs, is large and on the rise. Worldwide, it is estimated that more than one million women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, and more than 410,000 will die from the disease (Ajithkumar 2011). In…

Three medical researchers found how DNA grows and repair itself. It uses a repairing mechanism to fix any problems in a cell's DNA. The three scientists’ names are Sancar, Lyndahl, and Modrich. The scientists explained how, “Our DNA is constantly under assault from ultraviolet rays from the sun and carcinogenic substances.” Without this repairing mechanism cells would die far more quickly than they are made and the person would die. The scientists believe that they can use this information to…

Since this is the case, by the time women seek help the damage to the heart has already been done. Some risk factors like, diabetes or low levels of…

Tumor markers are helpful biochemical markers that assist in screening and identifying individuals at high risk of developing cancer. They are also used when diagnosing specific types of tumors and monitoring the progress of specific tumors (McCance & Huether, 2013). Cells from benign tumors and malignant tumors produce tumor markers which can be present in blood, spinal fluid, and in urine (McCance & Huether, 2013). The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is an antigen that is secreted by the…

The purpose of this experiment was to identify the different absorbance levels and response between normal cells and cancerous cells. Also, the difference between resting or stimulated cells and whether they have a difference in absorbance from each other. Inactivated forms of ERK cells don’t react and bind to the antibody on the ELISA plate, therefore this results in a no colour change on the plate. Whereas activated with added phosphate ERK cells react with the antibody and so antibodies do…
