Hepatocellular carcinoma

in rats Covered By: Kiauna Pinnock & Weschester Junior Nine researchers in the fields of biochemistry, nanoscience & technology and medical biotechnology from various research institutes and universities came together with an interest in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). HCC is one type of the malignant tumors that occur in the liver. It is the fifth most common worldwide and third most common cause of cancer mortality. With that in mind, these nine researcher did some foot work and came across…

In a majority of the cases, HCC is associated with the underlying chronic liver disease, and it is diagnosed in advanced stage of disease when curative treatment options are not applicable. The curative treatments include radiofrequency ablation, liver transplantation, or tumor resection.Selection of a treatment modality is based on tumor size, location, extrahepatic spread, and underlying liver function. Surgical resection or liver transplantation is the first line treatment option for early…

Furthermore, NIR passes easily through physiologic tissue [14] and when applied to GNRs, it reduces the amount of heat required to apoptose a cell by half, preserving non-targeted tissue. . Research Question 2 Q: When advanced stages of Hepatocellular Carcinoma is present, will you be able to photothermally ablate the cancer cells? A: Yes; photothermic ablation is achieved through biophotonic application. The region of the electromagnetic spectrum being utilized is NIR;…

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignancy of the liver and occurs predominantly in patients with underlying chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Patients who develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) usually have no symptoms other than those related to their chronic liver disease. Suspicion for HCC should be heightened in patients with previously…

production of certain proteins that for blood plasma, cholesterol, and storage of glucose and releasing when the body needs it. All of these functions can be distrusted when the liver cells are effected which leads to liver cancer, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma is a cancer that grows in the liver cells. These cells are malignant, and abnormal growth of liver cancer. Also liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer, and the third most common cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. The…

factors such as diet, lifestyle, certain types of infections, and environmental exposures. In specific, viral infections such as hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) can be main source of liver cancer. Major risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is identified as continuous infection of hepatitis C virus. Research question for this research proposal is how persistent infection of hepatitis C virus effect…

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNCCC) is the sixth most common cancer known worldwide with an incidence of 0.5 million new cases diagnosed annually, around half of these cases are oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) (Jithesh et al., 2013). Though numerous risk factors have been implicated in the development of OSCC , the most important are tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption and betel-quid chewing (Petti et al., 2013). Evidences suggested that viruses are involved in oral…

rotations for my Bachelor of Medicine in China. I got to know people from other parts of the country who did not get the same healthcare that I received living in the capital area. The first death I witnessed was a patient who had primary hepatocellular carcinoma induced by chronic Hepatitis B infection. That patient was from a rural area with no perinatal transmission prevention program. Later on, due to improper monitoring and medication, the patient’s health declined rapidly. Yet this…

One of the key factors, in this case, is that Jay received a phone call from his program services director to notify him about an OSHA inspector wants to review his blood-borne pathogen policy and employee hepatitis vaccination procedure. Apparently, OSHA needs to inspection Jay Carlos’s blood-borne pathogen policy to make sure that the company is aware of the situation and for preventing loss of lives due to exposure (Lester, & Parnell, 2006). OSHA has a role which is to make sure that safety…

Athletes who use drugs in sports should not be allowed to play the game. Using drugs to help an athlete play better is unfair to themselves and others. Other athletes work hard for everything that they need and want. Using drugs in sports may possibly harm your liver, and parts around your adrenal glands. Research on drugs being used in sports needs to be done. As an athlete, people who use drugs in sports should not play. Working hard and achieving something wanted by training and work is…
