BREAST CANCER “We don’t know how strong we are until being strong is the only choice we have” (Breast Cancer Awareness). This paper will be about what cancer is, survival rates, chemotherapy (what it is, how it helps), radiation therapy, breast cancer rates in African American Women, the types of tumors and the difference between them, and information from women with personal experience with this specific type of cancer. Cancer begins when cells in a part of the body start to grow out pf…

Cancer is the violent growth or tumor resulting from the division of abnormal cell division. There are many noticeable differences from a cancer cell and a normal cell. The process of cell division is mitosis and it important for the growth, repair and replenish or cells. If this process is uncontrolled, it causes a disease known as cancer. In our comparison of normal cells and cancer cells, we found out how to tell if cancer present in the tissue or not. Cancer is a malfunction in the process…

Cancer is an unfortunate mutation that may occur anywhere in the human body. Cancer is a result of cells growing out of control and taking over the body’s normal cells. Fortunately, if caught at an early stage, cancer is curable (“About Us”). American Cancer Society not only works towards curing cancer, but they also work to prevent and lessen the suffrage in any way possible(“American Cancer Society”). This charity tries its absolute best to help you stay well by providing you with an abundant…

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…

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…

my first MRI in the Imaging Department. That same MRI found cancer. Since then, I have had hundreds of procedures, rounds of chemotherapy, and doctor appointments at Primary Children's Hospital.. But PCH is not the only hospital I can say those things about. There are two other children's hospitals that I have spent a reasonable amount of time at. University of California San Francisco-Benioff (UCSF) and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City are the other two hospitals where I…

Cancer is a general term for a large group of diseases. These diseases are caused by the uncontrolled division of abnormal cells. Cancer is a malignant tumor that is invasive and can spread via the bloodstream throughout the body, this is known as metastasis. In the cell cycle of a normal cell, there are two main components involving different phases that the cell goes through. There is interphase where the cell gets ready to divide and there’s the mitotic phase, where the cell actually…

YouTubers Team Up For UK’s Stand Up To Cancer Campaign On October 15th, YouTubers will be teaming up with Stand Up To Cancer for an epic 12-hour-long live stream to help fight cancer. Caspar Lee, Alfie Deyes, Dan & Phil, Zoella, Joe Sugg, Sprinkle of Glitter, Linda Blacker, Oli White, Marcus Butler, Pixiwoo, Niki and Sammy, Jim Chapman and The Mandeville Sister are just some of the many famous YouTubers who are a part of this great event. Speaking about this amazing event, Dan & Phil said, “It’s…

to develop a certain type of cancer. A new study shows that a sugar molecule in the flesh of beef, pork and lamb might activate an immune response in our bodied that cause inflammation. This inflammation is the cause of tumor growth. Mice exposed to this for a long time caused a five time increase in the chances of getting cancer. No one knew why eating red meats caused such a high risk of cancer. Humans are the only meat animals who have to worry about getting cancer due to eating red meats.…

The Heartland Cancer Center is an outpatient health care facility located in a convenient community setting. We offer external beam radiation therapy services using the most advanced equipment and techniques for both cancerous and benign conditions. External beam (NCI, 2015) radiation therapy involves delivering a high-energy x-ray beam produced by a linear accelerator. The beam is a patient specific customized treatment field that takes into account the size and shape of the tumor. By…
