which can affect growth. Also, excessive UV radiation can prevent fish from reaching puberty (Mueller). Like in humans, UV radiation has been a link in cancers in all kinds of animals, like pets and livestock. The UV radiation creates squamous cell carcinomas which are types of skin cancer. Also, in studies of small animals of the rodent variety, increased UV radiation caused a decrease in immune system response, resulting in worsening of diseases. UV radiation can prevent cells from triggering…

Some of oligosaccharides mentioned above were studied for their beneficial physiologic effects, such as potential prebiotic activities38, as potential chemoprevention agent or anti-tumor agent by inhibiting the cellular viability of human colon carcinoma cells40, and enhancing fecal excretion of steroids in rat models44. However, some studies did not report the detailed structures of the beneficial oligosaccharides responsible for revealed health benefits while others studied the…

A study earlier this year found that patients with higher levels of carotenoids (of which carotenes are one type), in their blood, had a lower risk of death or reoccurrence of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, while a recent 2010 study demonstrated that beta carotene exerted a protective influence with regard to breast cancer development. In 2009, researchers reported that study participants with certain blood levels of carotenoids…

humans; an estimated 626,000 patients are diagnosed with the disease each year and the numbers are continuously rising (Buendia). Currently, two types of liver cancer exist: primary and metastatic. Primary liver cancer consists of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), cancer that starts in the liver tissue, and cholangiocarcinoma, cancer that develops in the bile ducts of the liver. Metastatic liver cancer is caused by metastasis from cancer cells in other organs and tissues that spread to the liver…

Skin cancer is by far known to be the most common type of cancer occurring in the human population today. However, most types of skin cancer are not considered to be a highly epidemic and can be cured easily, but there is one type of skin cancer that is considered to be most life threatening and that is melanoma. The reason why this disease is called ‘melanoma’ is because a tumor develops made of the melanocyte cells which are melanin producing cells (Skin Cancer 2016). Over the past few years’…

He was the Nobel winner for performing the first ever kidney transplant, and he died at the age of 93. Since then…
