In Remembrance of Aggie Fausnaugh (1929 – 2016) The Agnes H. Fausnaugh Endowed Scholarship Fund is a bequest from Aggie Fausnaugh, Ohio Wesleyan, to her beloved sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma. Aggie Park attended Ohio Wesleyan University where she became a member of Rho Chapter in 1946. It was that same fall that Aggie met Hal A. Fausnaugh, a member of Beta Theta Pi and her future husband. From the moment she met Hal, she knew he was the guy for her. Kappa was another great love of Aggie’s life.…

effective in its early stages. Despite this letdown, the ability was seen, by a member from the team of scientists, that it could be used to treat Breast Cancer. In the period up to clinical trial testing in 1970, ICI46, 474 was renamed Tamoxifen. The Christie Hospital in Manchester was the location of where Tamoxifen was tested as a treatment for Breast Cancer. Then, the drug was licensed, ‘Phase IV”. This is significant as it marks the beginning of the collection of information on the…

Breast cancer and neoplasm begin with a damaged part of a cell’s DNA that continues to get transcribed and replicated. According to the National Cancer Institute, 12% of woman will develop breast cancer in their lifetime (2015). The rate of diagnoses of breast cancer has leveled off in this past decade, and the mortality rate has decreased recently. However, it remains the second leading cause of death in women, second to lung cancer (National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of…

The National Cancer Act of 1971 I. The Problem In the 1970’s cancer had become the second leading cause of death in American’s behind heart disease. There had been much research in cancer and it had been somewhat proven that some things can prevent cancer. If the number two leading cause of death can be prevented, then maybe the United States government can step in and help fund some of the research. This idea was brought about in the 70’s by many people in the health community, but was not…

power to cause cancer. In order to fully comprehend this inquiry, one must have background knowledge on how cellphones operate. Cell phones emit RF (radiofrequency) waves from their antennas to cell phone towers. The phone calling and the phone receiving bear different frequencies but a cellular phone tower accommodates them with a specific frequency pair and thus the call is connected. RF waves are a form of non-ionizing radiation, meaning that…

against colorectal cancer. Yet, how much had to be taken, and for how long, to achieve those benefits is still being currently studied. Through some research, I found that African Americans are more likely to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer. There might be a correlation with cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer since they are both high in African Americans. Therefore, the increase use of aspirin to self-medicate against cardiovascular disease may lower colorectal cancer. I wonder who…

can also be genetic in some cases. Only 150-350 cases present worldwide each year. It is one of the rarest forms of cancer. I chose to research this cancer because of its rarity. Originally, I wanted to research AML (acute myeloid leukemia), and quickly realized I craved to research something that was less common. I found retinoblastoma on MeSH, the Medical Subject Headings, a National Library of Medicine project thesaurus, and quickly grew a liking to its difficulty to find. As opposed to…

the condition of your cancer, such as how large the tumor is, and whether it has spread (National Cancer Institute, 2015). The stage of cancer during diagnosis is used to refer to it, even where the condition worsens. When new information is added to the previous results, the cancer might change though the stage will remain the same. Staging helps the doctor to determine the proper treatment plan, to gauge the prognosis and share the patient information. “The future of cancer staging lies in…
