Although the Breast Cancer Research Foundation can not guarantee that the money will find a cure, it…

scientists believe that they can use this information to fight cancer. When cancer cells appear, these repairing mechanisms repair the cancer cells, too. If they create something that can stop the repairing mechanisms from fixing cancer cells, the cells will eventually die and the person’s health will improve. The scientists stated, “The academy highlighted one such drug that's already on the market: olaparib, which is used to fight ovarian cancer.” Still they must find other types of medicines…

I decided to do my cancer research paper on Lung cancer because more than 37.8 million people smoke cigarettes in the US and you have a 80-90% chance of getting lung cancer. Lung cancer starts in the lung , Their abnormal cells cluster together to form a tumor. Cancer cell grows without order or control, destroying healthy lung tissues around them. These tumors are called malignant tumors. My dad used to smoke every day for a year, he thought that nothing would happen to him. He got addicted…

Cancer is a condition where abnormal cells grow and divide or normal cells divide at an accelerated pace more times than they should. Cancer.gov describes cancer as follows “Cancer is the name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer, some of the body’s cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.” The human body is a marvelous machine. It is designed from top to bottom to operate at optimum efficiency and this requires the periodic and…

Sun is the center of the universe. Sunlight is essential to all living organisms on the earth. However excess exposure to the sun may causes immense damage to living organisms as follows. Skin cancer (1) is caused due to mutations in the DNA of our skin cells. These mutations cause the cells to create big cancer cells in the body. Most of the damage caused to your DNA cells are mostly due to UV rays. The causes to damage of cataracts (3) are looking into the sun directly which help the UV rays…

In the Hallmarks of cancer, the cancer cells are that which, when in the body, tries to avoid being killed off (apoptosis). Once a cell does happen to die, the cell membrane shrinks down and the cell to the next of it will devour the rest of the pre existing cell. When a cancer cell that make up a tumor needs to grow large, the tumor then depends on the blood vessels to nourish upon. The tumor rely on the nutrients as such; oxygen, glucose, and amino acids. The waste that expels out of the cell…

Lung cancer is one of most common cancer in the United States and worldwide. Furthermore, there are two types of lung cancer: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and Small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The most common type is NSCLC. There are three main subtypes of NSCLC: squamous cells, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. The number one cause of lung cancer is smoking cigarettes but there are also other factors that cause lung cancer such as exposure to radon gas, asbestos, genetics, and air…
