Non-small cell lung carcinoma

Significance Pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is a rare but aggressive tumor, with higher metastatic potential and an even worse prognosis than pancreatic adenocarcinoma[1, 2]. A major hindrance towards development of therapies against pancreatic ASC is that the molecular mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis remain poorly characterized. In this proposal I will take advantage of the expertise on RNA biochemistry and molecular biology that I have acquired during my doctoral training and…

Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most type of skin cancer, and is commonly caused by regular exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Squamous cell carcinoma is a slow-growing skin cancer, but it can spread to the tissues, bones, and lymph nodes where it can be hard to treat. Some factors make it more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma including exposure to ultraviolet radiation, Bowen’s disease, and having a lighter skin complexion. More exposure to ultraviolet radiation whether it…

skin cancer. Skin cancer is the abnormal growth of skin cells, and is surprisingly very common in the world today. According to the American Melanoma Foundation more than 1 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States every year (Skin Cancer Fact). Skin cancer is a serious disease that can lead to death but which can be prevented and cured with proper treatments and procedures. Skin cancer is the rare growth of skin cells and it most often develops on skin that is exposed to…

Actinic Keratosis (AK) is a skin disease in which lesions form on the skin due to being over-exposed to ultraviolet light rays. This disease may develop into Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC). AK is usually pretty common lesions on the skin that are usually red, brown, or nude colored, rough patches on the skin that has been over-exposed to UV light rays. The more of AK that a person has, the more of a risk the person has of developing melanoma skin cancer. As AK grows and develops, it can become…

skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells .it is the most common form of cancer and it accounts for at least half of all cancers .In fact, It is especially common among people with light skin .Also, It occurs when unrepaired DNA damage to skin cells which is the largest organ in our bodies. most often caused by ultraviolet radiation from sunshine and tanning beds triggers mutations, or genetic defects, that lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors.…

Cancers in our bodies organs starts when cells grow in a rapid and out of control matter.The form of cancer in which I chose to cover was Prostate Cancer. Prostate cancer is a result of cells in a male prostate gland to rapidly. The prostate is located inferior to the bladder and is anterior to the rectum. The size of the prostate varies in size according to the age of the male although it tends to be larger in size if the male is older. The prostate is also an aid in the production of semen…

is a growing issue in this country. Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma is one of the most common forms of skin cancer. Our very own sun can cause this cancer, also causing it to advance from the Ultraviolet Rays. In studying Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) through DNA Methylation profiling, two subclasses of SCC have been found to have two distinct cell origins. Actinic Keratosis (AK) are UV-induced precancerous corruption of cells in the skin. The investigation of AK and the way it…

1. Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) can be ranked as the sixth leading cancer by incidence worldwide (1,2). Every year, there are more than 550,000 patients diagnosed with head and neck cancers worldwide and around 300,000 related deaths (3). Squamous cell carcinomas represent 90% of cases and mostly arise from the epithelial lining of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, and hypopharynx. SCCHN can be divided into three stages: early stage (I/II), locally…

type of cancer that affects the skin it is the most serious type of skin cancer.There are two hundred types of cancer each of them named after the organ or tissue which it grows in.Prostate a cancer in a man's prostate, a small walnut-sized gland that produces seminal fluid.Basal cell cancer,a type of skin cancer that begins in the basal cells.Colon cancer,a cancer of the colon or rectum, located at the digestive tract's lower end.Lymphoma a cancer of the lymphatic system. It’s Harm:Cancer is…

sunlight for long periods of time can cause damage to your skin and ultimately lead to Melanoma. Although the exposure to UV rays is one of the leading causes of Melanoma, it’s not the only cause. The disease itself starts within the cells, specifically our pigment cells which are also known as melanocytes. This is where the cancer begins, within…
