Chapter - 35 Cancer Cancer is known medically as a malignant neoplasm, is a broad group of diseases involving unregulated cell growth. In cancer, cells divide and grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors, and invading nearby parts of the body. The cancer may also spread to more distant parts of the body through the lymphatic system or bloodstream. Not all tumors are cancerous; benign tumors do not invade neighboring tissues and do not spread throughout the body. There are over 200 different…

The term “leukemia” and “brain tumors” refers to a collection of neoplasms, each with its own biology, prognosis, and treatment. Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects blood cells. The cancer originates in the bone marrow where blood cells are formed (Hunger, 2015). For unknown reasons, these cells fail to develop properly into mature blood cells, and multiply at rapid rates crowding out other normal blood cells (Hunger, 2015). In the United States, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the…

how the relationship is to other body systems. Lung cancer, also called carcinoma of the lung or pulmonary carcinoma, is an enormously deadly tumor in the lung. The tumor is an uncontrolled cell growth in the tissues of the lungs. It’s malignant neoplasm of abnormal cells. This form of cancer kills more men and women than every other form of cancer. When a tumor has spread through the body there is only a little hope to cure the patient.…

Pheochromocytomas are neural crest-derived tumors that produce catecholamines (such as epinephrine and norepinephrine) and arise mainly from the adrenal gland. Closely affiliated tumors of extra-adrenal paraganglia are also known as extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. All these functional chromaffin tumors can result in substantial morbidity and mortality due to catecholamine oversecretion. Pheochromocytoma can have exceptionally variable clinical presentations - from rare and escalating…

Persons with BPPV will usually report severe vertigo with fast head movements or changing position quickly. As a result, getting in and out of bed or getting into bed may be very challenging for a patient with BPPV. Symptoms of vertigo and nausea typically will only last for about 30 seconds but they can be extremely debilitating. Patients with BPPV have a tendency towards depression, anxiety, and diminished quality of life (Jacob, 1996). The signs and symptoms of BPPV can often be confused for…

The human cell contains the information for the development and functioning in the long chain structure of a material called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The same structure is divided in short chains of DNA called genes that grouped completes the human genome, which is formed by almost 23,000 genes encoded by only four different molecules (Copstead-Kirkhorn,2014). The genes are the basic unit of DNA required for the heredity transfer when the cells replicate. The genes represent as a formula or…
