Carcinoma

tumors such as mucoepidermoid adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma,and adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified(NOS) . Thyroid-like low-grade papillary nasopharyngeal adenocarcinoma (TL-LGNPPA) belongs to conventional /mucosal surface origin-type, which exhibits papillary growth and abnormal expression of thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) mimicking papillary thyroid carcinoma. TL-LGNPPA is extremely rare with only a…

types of cancer include carcinoma (cancer that begins in the skin/tissues that line internal organs), sarcoma (bone, cartilage, fat, muscles, blood vessels, and other connective tissues), Leukemia (blood-forming tissues like the bone marrow), lymphoma and multiple myeloma (cells of the immune system) and central nervous system cancer (tissues of the brain and spinal cord). Cancer oral, cancer esophageal, cancer stomach and cancer colon are classified as cancer type carcinoma.…

angiomyolipomas, and renal cell carcinomas. Additional dermatological findings include pitting of the dental enamel and gingival fibromas. Diagnosis is clinical with the presence of a major or a combination of minor criteria (definite diagnosis = either two major features or one major feature plus two minor…

Overkill, is an article which seems to be a follow-up of a prior article, written about medical care, health cost and doctors possible immoral motivation towards patient care. Stating that “Doctors get paid, for doing more not less” (Gawande, A. p. 6), which led to things such as over testing, over diagnosis and over treatment. The author of the article discusses these miss happenings and amidst that he seems to be pretty consistent in talking about a particular patient Mrs. E. Which, leads me…

The development of thyroid cancer arises from mutations in either receptor tyrosine kinases or effectors involved in those pathways. In particular, papillary carcinomas generally have alterations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway (MAPK). For example, RET stands for "rearranged during transfection." RET is expressed in high amounts from the C cells in the thyroid, and the RET proto-oncogene is activated by fusion of the RET TK domain with the 5′ sequence of one of different…

What is cancer? Every day billions of mutations occur in human cells, but some of them make the cell cancerous. Cancer, one of the leading cause of death in the world, is a disease caused by occurring mutation in many genes of a cell, not just one gene, which changes underlying principles of the cell molecular action, such as the cell cycle, growth trend, signaling, and its specific death time.(2) The most crucial characteristic of a cancer cell is the excessive, uncontrolled growth cycle…

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignancy of the liver and occurs predominantly in patients with underlying chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Patients who develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) usually have no symptoms other than those related to their chronic liver disease. Suspicion for HCC should be heightened in patients with previously compensated…

Sandra Bishnoi was diagnosed with stage four cancer on January 2011. When diagnosed with this disease, she was a wife, mother of two, scientist in Chicago and a chemistry professor. Having cancer with two children ages one and four has scared and caused emotion. The oncologist considered her to do a two year plan because of how serious her condition was. Bishnoi children have helped her become a stronger person. When she didn’t have the energy, she found some to take care of their needs.…

Elasticity imaging has emerged as complementary to ultrasonic imaging. The term encompasses a variety of techniques that can depict a mechanical response or property of tissues(91). In ultrasound, its idea is built on two important facts: (a) that significant differences between mechanical properties of several tissue components exist and (b) that the information contained in the coherent scattering, or speckle (speckle is the basis of the texture displayed in ultrasound images of solid tissues…

When a person has three thyroid nodules present, they are usually recommended to have a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) with a guided ultrasound. Once the sample is collected and sent for testing a cytotechnologist and then a pathologist will interrupt the results. When I was doing my clinical rotations for my certificate in cytology I was told that thyroid FNAs were considered our “bread and butter”. Now, I didn’t realize what that meant at that time in my career, I just thought okay, this…
