Cancer research

The National Cancer Act of 1971 I. The Problem In the 1970’s cancer had become the second leading cause of death in American’s behind heart disease. There had been much research in cancer and it had been somewhat proven that some things can prevent cancer. If the number two leading cause of death can be prevented, then maybe the United States government can step in and help fund some of the research. This idea was brought about in the 70’s by many people in the health community, but was not…

The developments of cancer in children have had many disagreements between scientist and researchers. Some might agree that it hard to determine what causes cancer in children. Scientist around the world has developed their own theories on the development of cancer in children. Although there are disagreements, many of the scientists have come to the conclusion that some forms of cancer have been the linked to genetic cells that are formed through fertilization of the embryo, which could be…

Stomach cancer, also known as Gastric cancer is a tumor in the stomach. Stomach cancer can develop in any part of the stomach and can spread from the stomach to other organs. In 1984, two scientists from Australia, Dr. Barry Marshall and Dr. Robin Warren, discovered a bacteria in patients with gastritis called H. Pylori. Their research found the link between the infection with H. pylori and stomach cancer. People infected with H. pylori are 6 times more likely to get stomach cancer. Studies of…

Introduction: Cervical cancer is a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissue of the cervix. Cervical cancer develops slowly over time, before the cancer shows in the cervix the cells of the cervix goes through changes like dysplasia. Meaning abnormal cells begin to appear in the cervical tissue. After a while the abnormal cells become cancer cells, and then they start to spread all over the cervix. Cervical cancer begins in cells on the surface of the cervix, it can become a threat to…

the number of people that die from lung cancer annually. Although it surmounts all other cancers with its mortality rates, lung cancer is often given the “back burner” when it comes to ribbons and walks. Perhaps people do not realize that it is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in the United States. Lung Cancer consists of many different types caused by different reasons but with several treatment options. When someone hears the words lung cancer their response probably is not filled…

The people in U.S have high risk of Breast cancer due the high carbohydrate and high glutamine diet consumption in spite of various awareness campaigns and scientific research. INTRODUCTION The breast comprises of glands called lobules that produce milk and thin tubes called ducts that carry the milk from the lobules to the nipple. Breast tissue also contains fat and connective tissue, lymph nodes, and blood vessels. Breast cancer usually starts off in the inner lining of milk ducts or the…

gastrointestinal cancer in rats Uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells and their spreading to another tissues ,these characterizing of cancers which mostly lead to death ,if their spreading is not controlled.Cancers are caused by chemical materials ,infectious organisms,tobacco and radiation as external factors and hormones,mutation and immune conditions as internal factors.(1) Gastrointestinal cancers are the term for many cancers which affect the organs of digestive system. The cancer may…

Esophageal Cancer is the growth of a tumor in the lining of the esophagus, a hollow tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. The esophagus is a necessary organ that allows food to travel to the stomach where it can be broken down into nutrients for the body to use (Esophageal Cancer, mayoclinic.org). When discussing esophageal cancer, it is important to understand what can cause the growth of a tumor in the esophagus, what the potential risk factors are, the symptoms, how this cancer can be…

Cancer Immunotherapy: using immune based therapies to enhance the immune system to fight cancer cells. Introduction Cancer immunotherapy involves using components of the immune system to fight cancer cells. The immune system is very effective in getting rid of pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. The concept of unleashing the body’s ability to defend itself against cancer cells has long been a scientific discussion (Nathanson L. 1976). Over the last 10 years, scientists have synthesized drugs…

What is cancer and why is it bad? Cancer is caused by abnormalities (an abnormal condition or state) in the genetic material of cells (Rice). These abnormalities can be caused under the influence of something like chemicals, radiation, pollutants, and abnormalities that is presented in a person’s body from when they were born or the person may have inherited. Cancer is a general term used when typical cells grow and divide wildly, invading neighboring tissues, and consistently stretch to other…
