It is generally caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division, normally either in the brain itself (neurons, glial cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells), lymphatic blood vessels), in the cranial nerves (myelin-producing Schwann cells), in the brain envelopes (meninges), skull, pituitary and pineal gland, or spread from cancers primarily located in other organs…

fragile, this means that there is a greater risk of breaking something.

Cancer is a group of diseases which involves defects in the cellular control mechanism. The growth of multicellular organisms occurs due to the reproduction of cells. This happens as the existing cells divide by mitosis to form new cells which is a process that is regulated by some factors in our body. Sometimes, due to reasons such as spontaneous mutations, an irregular and uncontrollable cell growth occurs, forming malignant tumours. Besides, these cells have a characteristic of possessing an…

Cancer screening is an effective way to scan the body for cancer before severe symptoms occur. These tests help medical professionals detect many different cancers such as; breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer. Examples of methods of tests for various cancers include mammograms (breast cancer), and PAP smears (cervical cancer). Mammograms use an x-ray to scan the breasts for cancerous tumors, and a PAP test is a way of cervical screening which is used to detect pre-cancerous and also…

the site of origin. Chemotherapy is a medicine which is used to kill cancer cells by damaging them so they can’t reproduce and spread. Chemotherapy also kills healthy living cells, which causes unwanted side effects such as hair loss, tiredness and pale skin. In this experiment we used MTT Assay to analyse which drug is more effective in killing cancer cells and keeps healthy cells viable. Our interest in this fundamental biomedical question stems from, the use of chemotherapy, and to…
