MOUTH CANCER Research Questions: 1. What are the reasons for mouth cancer? 2. How effective are the treatments for mouth cancer? 3. How to avert mouth cancer? 4. What are the effective measures taken against mouth cancer? Objective:- The main reason behind choosing this topic is our keen interest in health and disease and when we saw the mortality rate due to cancer, it made us think to work on it. So we as a group of three candidates decided to spread awareness about mouth cancer. We decided…

Cancer is among one of the highest leading causes of death across the whole human population. In terms of women, breast cancer continues to be the greatest threat of cancer related death across all ages. Breast cancer is characterized by irregular dividing of cells, in other words uncontrolled cell growth, within the breast leading to the formation of a lump known as a tumor. Tumors are usually categorized into two categories: benign and malignant; in the case of breast cancer, tumors are…

precursor lesion subsequently developing into cancer is well established and an early detection of oral mucosal epithelial dysplasia could halt the progression of these lesions into malignant transformation.[9] Thus, the establishment of adjunctive techniques is useful to clinical…

chemotherapy, which is commonly used as a main treatment for cancer patients. Research has shown its effectiveness in combating the side effects of chemotherapies used to treat various cancers. A common side effect experienced while being subjected to chemotherapy is nausea and vomiting. In a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, “Anecdotal accounts suggested that smoking marihuana decreases the nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapeutic agents” ( N Engl J Med…

water before drinking. You can reduce chances of consuming carcinogens by filtering tap water. Filtered water can also prevent chemical substances, which have negative effects towards your endocrine system. The latest report from the president of the Cancer Institute commission on how to avoid carcinogens revealed that, ‘Drinking filtered tap water at home is safer than drinking water from low-quality containers.” Also, storing water in some kinds of container like stainless steels and glasses,…

(FRMC) with a left iliac wing fracture related to metastatic cancer earlier that month. The primary location of the cancer was determined to be the distal esophagus after an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and cell biopsy was completed. He then presented to FRMC in January 2016 with post-prandial nausea, vomiting, and anorexia related to chemotherapy treatments. Although his past medical history was negative for other forms of cancer or nutritional-related diseases, his risk of developing the…

The adhesion is calcium dependent.(10) N-cadherin have roles in development, neural tissues, cardiac muscles and in cancer metastasis. This does this via cadherin switching, which is a process where there are switches in E-cadherin expression and expression of N-cadherin, as they are complimentary to each other.(10) Loss of cell-cell adhesion is one of the first steps of cancer metastasis, invasion, and progression, which is as a result of activation of EMT. N-cadherin is a mesenchymal stem…

There is not enough evidence to support the correlation between Chlordane, a persistent organic pollutant chemical, and Kidney Cancer. Chlordane was used on U.S. farmland from 1948 to 1988 until it was banned due to the environmental and human harms that were caused by exposure. However, the use of chlordane is only allowed when treating homes for termites up until 1988. Chlordane has been shown to affect the human nervous system, digestive system, and the liver. Chlordane can enter the body…

however it was last revised in 2002.4 A lack of published evidence exists on large, randomized, controlled trials due to the patient population that requires IV ketamine for palliative care. A case report of a 36 year old female with metastatic breast cancer demonstrated a 37% reduction in pain scores, as well as a 61.4% reduction in the amount of opioids required to manage her pain.1 The patient was initially taking oxycodone (sustained-release…

The oral submucous fibrosis is defined as a premalignant condition, a generalized state of oral mucosa associated with a significantly increase risk of oral cancer as per WHO1. Oral submucous fibrosis is high risk premalignant condition characterized by the changes in connective tissue fibers of lamina propria and deeper parts leading to stiffness of the mucosa and restricted mouth opening.2 Schwartz first reported OSMF in a series of Indian women living in east Africa there are descriptions…
