Endometrial cancer

It is my dream and ambition to find the cure for indomitable forms of cancer, by first building my knowledge and skills and then utilizing these towards the larger purpose. While pursuing my Master’s degree, I realized that mere acquisition of information was not sufficient for me and that I wanted a deep insight in my area of interest. Several factors over the past years have contributed towards the goal. My achievements and credentials give me the confidence that I will be able to perform as…

Cancer has a major impact on society in the United States and across America. In 2016 an estimated 1,685,210 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 595,690 will die from the disease. The most common cancers in 2016 are projected to be Breast Cancer, lung and bronchus cancer, prostate cancer, colon and rectum cancer, bladder cancer, melanoma of the skin, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, thyroid cancer, kidney and renal pelvis cancer, leukemia, endometrial cancer, and pancreatic…

For the majority of cancers, lifestyle factors and environmental exposures become the major risk factors. An estimated 30 to 40 percent of cancers are influenced by diet. Diet patterns that emphasize fat, meat, alcohol, and excess calories and that minimize fruits and vegetables can cause cancer. Such constituents of the diet relate to cancer in several ways. Foods or their components may cause or promote cancer. Additionally, foods or their components may protect against cancer. Certain dietary…

It has been demonstrated that PTEN mutations in tumours are localised to exon 5, 7 or 8. In breast cancer it has been demonstrated that there are about 10-40% loss of heterozygosity at chromosome 10 the region which contain PTEN gene. It appears in some studies that mutation of PTEN occurs in advanced and metastatic breast cancer. Furthermore, it has been found that the size and the stage of the tumour has a correlation with the PTEN expression, in patients with…

Cancer is a terrible, life threatening disease that many people get diagnosed with. Cancer is the abnormal cell growth that contaminates the body (cancer.org). The most common types of Cancers are skin cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, endometrial cancer, kidney cancer, leukemia, lung cancer, non-hodgkin lymphoma, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, and thyroid cancer. The body’s basic unit of life are cells (cancer.org). Normal cells grow, divide to make new cells, die, and…

comes very bad health problems that can cut many lives short. My doctors and scientist have found that obesity can cause many diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders especially osteoarthritis and some cancers like endometrial, breast, and colon” (Jarali, A. B., & Radhakrishnan, G, 2013, p. 155). It is even predicted that the rate of obesity will continue to grow if we do not take action to stop this epidemic before it grows.…

because mutant p53 cannot activate p21WAF1/CIP1, the cell cycle can proceed unabated. It is Exon 5-8 which are very prone to mutations & codon 157 is commonly known as mutational hotspot in lung Cancers, besides that codon 248 & 273 mutations are hotspot positions in other cancers for example, colon and liver cancer, suggesting the heterogeneity among TP53 mutations. One interesting thing is these codons contain CpG islands, and the presence of 5-methyl cytosine greatly enhances binding of a…

the surrounding tissue. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy is most commonly used to treat difficult-to-reach tumors. Most commonly, IMRT treats tumors located in the breast, head and neck, prostate, cervical, bladder, lung, gastrointestinal, endometrial, gynecologic and central nervous…

The Power of Mother Nature According to the experts at the World Health Organization, “Global cancer rates could increase by 50% to 15 million by the year 2020” (para 1). For anyone who is familiar with cancer, it is the uncontrollable mutated cell growth that can either be malignant (bad) or benign (no effect), but also know how hard cancer is to treat. Since cancer rates are predicted to increase dramatically within the next ten years, how on earth are oncologists and scientists going to…
