I n 1898, the radioactive elements Radium and Polonium were found by Marie and Pierre Curie. Thus the concept of treating cancers was born. The Curie’s work on radiation led to the possibility of cancer treatment, but also provided a better understanding of the atom. That is that an atom has a nucleus at its centre with surrounding energy shells which consist of negatively charged electrons. The electron was discovered in 1897 by J.J. Tomson, and was the first proved element of the atom. The…

Ovarian cancer affects the two small, almond shaped organs located in the deep regions of the abdomen (NCI, 2008). These are found on each side of the uterus. Ovarian cancer is very hard to detect in early stages. Ovarian cancer is harder to detect than breast cancer because of its location and symptoms.

When new information is added to the previous results, the cancer might change though the stage will remain the same.

For the majority of cancers, lifestyle factors and environmental exposures become the major risk factors. An estimated 30 to 40 percent of cancers are influenced by diet. Diet patterns that emphasize fat, meat, alcohol, and excess calories and that minimize fruits and vegetables can cause cancer. Such constituents of the diet relate to cancer in several ways. Foods or their components may cause or promote cancer. Additionally, foods or their components may protect against cancer. Certain dietary…

In the stages of prostate cancer (localized, regional and distant) both conventional and hadron radiation therapy have its benefits when compared to one another; but both offer a different form of treatment. Currently proton therapy is one of the most technologically advanced treatment for cancer. In proton therapy, protons are split form a hydrogen atom and accelerated to roughly two thirds the speed of light; transported along an evacuated tube into the treatment rooms. Then administered to…

Cancer is a general term for a large group of diseases. These diseases are caused by the uncontrolled division of abnormal cells. Cancer is a malignant tumor that is invasive and can spread via the bloodstream throughout the body, this is known as metastasis.
