Prostate cancer

Ultrasound (US) and MRI are commonly used in the clinical setting to confirm the presence and location of tendon thickening or other structural change and associated findings (Scott et al., 2013). However, although their clinical utility, both US and MRI are subject to artefacts and may reveal poor interobserver and intraobserver reliability. In comparison with MRI, ultrasound has the accuracy and sensitivity of US (0.63–0.83 and 0.68–0.87, respectively) and MRI (0.68–0.70 and 0.50–0.57,…

scan also can use to measure blood flow, oxygen use and can detect cancer, heart problems, brain disorders and another. PET scans use radioactive materials called tracers to find diseases in the body and it will shows how organs and tissues are working. Stacy Simon reported annual statistics reporting from the American Cancer Society shows the death rate from cancer in the US has declined steadily over the past 2 decades. The cancer death rate for men and women combined fell 23% from its peak in…

like uranium give off radiation naturally but other sorts are made in a lab for specific purposes like radiotherapy for the treatment of some sorts of cancer. Radiation as a medical treatment has been around for a long time. X-Rays as such were discovered in 1896 by Wilhelm Roentgen and as early as 1901 low dose X-Rays were being used to treat cancer. It was found early on that radiation seamed to treat diseased cells in the body and if a method could be found for confining their effect to…

screening and identifying individuals at high risk of developing cancer. They are also used when diagnosing specific types of tumors and monitoring the progress of specific tumors (McCance & Huether, 2013). Cells from benign tumors and malignant tumors produce tumor markers which can be present in blood, spinal fluid, and in urine (McCance & Huether, 2013). The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is an antigen that is secreted by the prostate into the blood (McCance & Huether, 2013). The tumor…

A somewhat curved erect penis is a somewhat original , affecting roughly 80% of all men. Nonetheless curvature of the penis can development and become painful, reason difficulties with intercourse, and even effect in lengthy-time period deformity. Treating the skin of the penis with a high-quality penis well being cream may be important in preventing the underlying purpose of a curved or bent penis. What motives curvature of the penis? Curvature of the penis is diagnosed when the shaft bends…

Background: Bladder cancer is a common malignancy in the world. It ranks ninth in worldwide cancer incidence and it is the seventh common malignancy in male. It is the second most common malignancy of the genitourinary tract worldwide in male after prostate cancer. It affects men more than women in a ratio of 3 - 4:1 (1, 2). In Africa bladder cancer is ranked as eighth common malignancy in male (3) while in Tanzania, it is amongst the top ten common cancers according to…

gene fusions in prostate cancer was identified by cancer outlier profile analysis (COPA)43 using the gene expression microarray data. Given the unprecedented high prevalence of gene rearrangements and associated gene fusions in prostate cancer, we hypothesized that additional non-ETS gene fusions may occur in the ETS negative prostate cancer. This view is supported by the recent identification of RAF family gene rearrangements44 in a small subset of ETS negative prostate cancer. We have also…

Brachytherapy is an advanced cancer treatment where radioactive seeds or sources are placed in or near the tumour. This gives a high radiation dose to the tumour while reducing the radiation exposure in the surrounding healthy tissues. History of the technology: The term 'brachytherapy' is derived from the Greek word for ‘short,’ (brachy) which refers to the, “distance between the therapeutic agent and the target lesion.” Commonly used to treat accessible tumours with radium New sources,…

We do not know many things about cancer, even though research is extensive and ongoing. One of the things we do not know is why some types of cancer are more frequently occurring than other types. Despite this, it is worth learning more about the different types of cancer. In this way, you will be able to take more adequate and timely measures for prevention. Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer. In the Unites States the estimated number of new cases for 2010 is 222,520. The projected…

Annual Review of Nutrition, 18(1), 413-440. doi:10.1146/annurev.nutr.18.1.413 The article Diet, Nutrition, and Prostate summarizes the effects that diet, nutrition, genetics, and the environment can potentially have on prostate cancer, which is one of the most prevalent causes of cancer deaths. Additionally, with prostate cancer being slow to progress and also slow to diagnose, researchers hope…
