What is cancer? Cancer can be define as the disease caused by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells inside or outside in our body. We all know that the cancer is one of the main causes of death in the world. Cancer, as a single word, incorporates a vast diversity of disease since there are as many tumor types as there are cell types in the human body. Therefore cancer is not a single disease, but a group of heterogeneous diseases that share common biologic properties (clonal cell growth and…

pulmonary nodule and your risk of getting lung cancer. What are the causes? This condition may be caused by: Bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. This is usually an old infection that is no longer active, but it can sometimes be a current, active infection. A benign mass of tissue. Inflammation from conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Abnormal blood vessels in the lungs. Malignant pulmonary nodules can result from lung cancer or from cancers that spread to the lung from other places in…

Cancer can cause death and many consequences (1).The most common cancers in men are Lung, Colon, Stomach, and Liver, whereas in women breast, Colon, Lung , Uterine cancer are the most common (1).…

Skin cancer is the most common cancer of all cancers, it is predicted that one of every three new cases of cancers is skin cancer. There are two types of skin cancer: melanoma and non-melanoma. Melanocytes produce melanin, which is the pigment cells responsible for skin color and also protect the body from ultraviolet rays. When these cells transform into cancerous cells, the result is melanoma. Melanoma is not as common but it is the deadliest and most dangerous type of skin cancer because it…

Breast cancer (BC) is a disease which is believed to be caused by a disruption in the equilibrium of certain cell cycles within breast tissue, resulting in the uncontrolled replication of cells and eventually, tumours, which can become malignant and spread to other potentially vital organs (Pennery et al. 2009). Although some suggested causes raise controversy, such as the notion that breast cancer may be linked to infection by other viruses including, mouse mammary tumour virus, human papilloma…

Clustering with Biopsy Introduction For this assignment we have been instructed to experiment with clustering. Within the MASS library we can find the data set biopsy, which gives approximately nine attributes for breast tumors of 699 patients. The first column of the data is the patient ID number and the last column is the classification (“benign” or “malignant”) of the tumor. Scenario Our responsibility is as follows: remove ID, classification and replace any missing values with zero;…

Of all the cancers caused by asbestos dust (mesothelioma), pericardial mesothelioma is the most rare, accounting for a fraction of all cases (5%). It is a cancer that grows on the pericardium (the lining of the heart). This is a delicate 'film', and any infection on the pericardium can have deadly consequences. Once an individual has been diagnosed with pericardial mesothelioma they are offered three different treatment options. These are radiation, surgery and chemotherapy. Pericardial…

reveal an abnormal mass or nodule (American Cancer Society 2016). • CT (computed tomography): a lung CT scan can detect small lesions that might not be detected in the x-ray image. It can show the size and shape of cancer, and where it is (American Cancer Society 2016). Sputum cytology: If the patient have a cough and is producing sputum, the doctor will look at the sputum under the microscope to detect any presence of lung cancer cells (American Cancer Society 2016). Biopsy: In this test,…

swelling triggered by a problem in the lymphatic system. It could be produced by a genetic abnormality due to underdevelopment of the lymphatic system or secondary to external factors as infection, injury or cancer treatment [1]. Being breast cancer the 2nd most diagnosed from overall cancers, with patients developing lymphoedema in 40% of the cases [2]. Lymphedema is caused by the inefficiency of the lymphatics to drain fluids and proteins, developing an accumulation of lymph liquids and…
