For purposes of revascularization, PVD is considered in terms of inflow (aortoiliac) and outflow (infrainguinal) occlusive disease. Revascularization options for these patients are open surgery which includes endarterectomy, bypass surgery, or extra-anatomic bypass [axillofemoral bypass and percutaneous endovascular repair. Aortoiliac and aortofemoral bypass procedures are associated with 74% to 95% 5-year patency rates, respectively, which are comparable but not superior to percutaneous…

The developments of cancer in children have had many disagreements between scientist and researchers. Some might agree that it hard to determine what causes cancer in children. Scientist around the world has developed their own theories on the development of cancer in children. Although there are disagreements, many of the scientists have come to the conclusion that some forms of cancer have been the linked to genetic cells that are formed through fertilization of the embryo, which could be…

VS Cancer Cells Cancer cells differ from normal cells in many ways; these various differences allow them to grow out of control. Unlike normal cells, cancer cells have an unstoppable growth rate which causes them to divide continuously. They are also able to ignore signals from the body that would normally command healthy cells to die after a certain period of time. Cancer cells are able to influence normal cells allowing them to extract the materials needed in order to grow as tumors. Cancer…

intention involves training of one’s mind, which is essential in releasing stress build up thereby returning an individual in the former healthy self. As shown by other studies, cancers may have their genesis on emotional and mental disturbances or twists. A further study on this field may open a new thinking about cancer and thus provide new treatment methods that help patients to tolerate any stress that may be related to the disease or the treatment methods, such as chemotherapy. The third…

Resection of residual tumors after first line chemotherapy remains essential in the treatment of metastatic testicular cancer. Undifferentiated tumor may still be found in 20%. Necrosis is found in only 50% of marker normalized patients after first-line and approximately 30% after second-line chemotherapy [38]. The histological outcomes of patients after induction chemotherapy…

PET is a technique which is suitable to be used in oncology diagnosis of tumor or cancer. In oncology, fluorin-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) which is called FDG-PET is used as the tracer because it is a glucose analog that will be taken up by glucose-using cells and phosphorylated by hexokinase. This FDG-PET will be taken by tumor cells…

x-ray. Only a few months later, systems were already being designed to use the x-ray for diagnosis. Within 3 years, the radiation was being used in cancer treatment. A single idea for treatment grew in a short period of time, with the help of technology. Today we are seeing scientific advances like never before. As advancements in technology grow, the options for cancer treatment improve drastically. Sterotactic radiation, cytotron, and an implant that can predict which cancer…

Cancer is a group of diseases involved in the abnormal growth of cells with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Not all tumours are cancerous, benign tumours do not spread to other parts of the body while malignant tumours can spread to other parts of the body. Leukaemia causes the DNA of immature blood cells, mainly white blood cells, to become damaged. The disease causes blood cells to grow and divide chaotically. Whereas normal blood cells die after a while and are…

what oral cancer is, what some of the biggest contributing factors that lead to this type of cancer, and what the relationship between oral cancer, smokeless tobacco and baseball is. In addition to that, I will highlight how this cancer can be eliminated with the proper treatment, how to educate people on the dangers of smokeless tobacco and provide some examples of famous baseball players and how oral cancer has affected their lives. What is oral cancer exactly? By definition, oral cancer “is…
