Despite the high prevalence, the clinical utility and association of these markers with disease progression has not been firmly established. It may be due to the fact that the estimates on the prevalence of these molecular markers and clinical correlation analyses were based…

oncologist orders a biopsy of the tumor to confirm malignancy and the results come back positive. It is now clear that the patient has cancer. The next step is to diagnose the specific type of cancer. The patient undergoes a CT of the lungs to look for tumors in the lungs. The results are normal, ruling out lung cancer. A lymph node biopsy is performed to indicate if the cancer is from the lymphatic system. The results are positive for malignancies. The patient is then taken to surgery, where…

across the science spectrum, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology, to name a few. Much of this research aims to explore the applications nanotechnology has in human health, specifically in oncology and the ever ending fight to end cancer. In this particular field of study the people that specialize in the research and most of the experimentation are oncology MDs, geneticists, and nanotechnology engineers. This field utilizes various ways to relay advancements done by the…
