of morning stiffness and reducing the swellings of the joint. 14. Using turmeric and cauliflower to halt the development prostate cancer Phytonutrient curcumin and phenethyl isothiocyanates found in cauliflower as well as turnips, cabbage and broccoli have been shown to retard the growth of human prostate cancer causing cells in immune deficient mice. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US; about 0.5 million cases of this disease are reported every year. In contrast,…

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…

Through the innovative Selectives curriculum, I will be able to continue exploring my passion for cancer research. After developing molecular-based agents to image colorectal and breast cancer cells at Hunter College and Memorial Sloan Kettering, I look forward to continuing similar research and developing novel drugs for cancer diagnosis or therapy at Mayo. The Molecular Imaging Research Laboratory of Dr. Timothy DeGrado at Mayo Clinic is one that I am interested…

“In its early stages, FAP has no symptoms. That is why genetic testing or endoscopic screening starting at puberty when polyps first appear is so important. The diagnosis can and should be made before symptoms and colorectal cancer occur.” In other cases, such as late-onset ovarian cancer, it is good to know before tumours and such develop, because this could mean that the afflicted person could never have children. While some people think knowing this information may lead to negative lifestyle…

One study conducted emphasizes the importance of changing lifestyles in surviving colorectal cancer patients (Grimmett, Simon, Lawson &Wardle, 2015, pg.1). During this study, the patients were recruited through one of the two…

(Accuracy of Double-Contrast Barium Enema in Diagnosing Colorectal Polyps and Cancer) The author asserts the accuracy of barium enema depends on four factors: the bowel preparation, the radiographer’s technique, the quality control and finally the interpretation by a trained radiologist. These criteria ensure the best quality…

Likewise, my Vanderbilt research work revealed a beneficial gene in malignant cancer. While my research experience was surely not the artistic outlet that I had in mind, I couldn’t have asked for a more fitting one. By the beginning of this year, I could pin up a certificate right next to “The Starry Night” that read “Regeneron Science…

Can Certain Types of Food Prevent Cancer? Literature Review Introduction Cancer is a problem that has been around for many years and as the years go by more and more different types cancers are being discovered. This is not to say that it is taking over the world because just as different types of cancers are being discovered, some are being cured or are in the process of finding a cure for certain types (Early, 2014). In our modern age science is advancing and becoming more beneficial when it…

association between depression and the cause of different types of cancers seem to be widely studied. Five studies based on the link between severe or chronic depression and the development of cancer are reviewed. In a study of the causation of cancer in chronic depressed elders, Chronically Depressed Mood and Cancer Risk in Older Persons, results show that there is a considerable correlation between chronic depression and the risk of cancer in persons of 65 years and older. Out of the 4825…

by doctors to prepare for certain medical procedures (Osteopathic.org, 2015). The people that feel the need to try colon cleansing probably suffer from one of the symptoms that cleansing claims to treat ('Web alert', 2006). Weight loss, disease (cancer, Krohns, etc) arthritis, increased energy and even an increase in fertility are a few of the things colon cleansing promoters claim. Someone that…
