Hepatocellular carcinoma

is called endocervix. The part on the outside is called the ectocervix. Most cervical cancers start where these two parts meet. There are two main types, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Occasionally, mixed carcinomas, with features of both types, occur. Approximately 80% of cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, with most of the rest being adenocarcinoma. Cervical cancer is caused by the sexually transmitted HPV, which is the most common viral infection of the reproductive…

Fake tanning is not as safe as what most people might think it is. Fake tanning in a tanning bed is just as bad as tanning in the sun, indoor tanning also exposes your skin to ultraviolet (UV) rays. Whether the UV rays are coming from a tanning bed or the sun they can still cause wrinkles, rashes and dark spots. The most dangerous types of UV rays can change the DNA in cells, which is what experts believe is the main cause of skin cancers.In the US, 35% of adults and 55% of college students have…

Basal cell carcinoma. Basal cell carcinoma also known as (BCC) is a type of skin cancer that effects the basal cells that line the epidermis. Basal cells duplicate and increase to the point where they penetrate the dermis (top layer of the skin). What causes the basal cells to react this way is usually being exposed to excessive sunlight and/or ultraviolet rays as well as having or had many severe sunburns, overexposure to x-rays, and having relatives who had skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma is…

What Is Blue Light Therapy? Blue light therapy is also known as photodynamic therapy. More dermatologists are using it to help ward off skin cancer in patients who suffer from actinic keratoses.

Ten percent of people with actinic keratoses will develop skin cancer. Fortunately, early treatment can…

any of three different types of cancer such as, Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma. Skin cancer is the number one cancer diagnosis in the United States.

For instance, Basal cell Carcinoma is the appearance of “abnormal, uncontrolled growths…

Overexposure to the sun and trips to the tanning bed put someone at the risk of…

early in their asymptomatic form. These patients sometimes can respond well to treatment and may even be completely cured of lung cancer. ("Can non-small cell lung cancer be found early?") Lung cancers are classified either as a non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) or as a small cell…

The study of medicine has evolved over thousands of years from something of an enigma governed by religious spheres to the highly specialized science of preventing, treating, and curing diseases of the human body. While my interest in becoming a physician did begin with a love of natural sciences, it has, like the study of medicine, evolved into something much larger than topics covered in my general biology courses. I want to work with people on managing their conditions, learn from doctors…
