brought on by cancer. Loss of Income A study by the U.S. National Library of Medicine found that women who were going through breast cancer treatment missed an average of 44.5 days from work. It also found that men who were undergoing treatment for prostate cancer missed an average of 27 days from work. A payout from your cancer policy can help you with your mortgage payments, living expenses, and utility bills if you are missing work without pay. You Are Paid Directly Dependent on which…

consists of radiation occurring inside the body. The materials that are injected into the area around the cancer in the prostate gland are known as “seeds”. The seeds are what cause the radiation to occur in the general area. The seeds are placed within a sterilized needle which then the needle is pushed through the skin between the scrotum and the rectum and ends within the prostate gland to begin radioactivity. There are two different types of doses for the therapy. The first dosage is known…

activity and ability to govern drug resistance and tumorigenicity. Furthermore, inferred drug combinations will be analyzed using RNA sequencing of treated tumors for their synergistic action and potential benefits for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Approach…

[25,26]. Pectin, especially modified pectins have been found to possess anticancer activity. The most well-known pectin in cancer therapy is modified citrus pectin, which is used in prostate cancer therapy with laudable success, it was found to increase the doubling time of prostate specific antigen in men with prostate cancer [27]. The use of modified pectins in cancer research has mainly focused on acid, enzymatic and heat modified pectins. However, there exist sonication, a physical method of…

1. The three treatment options function synergistically to benefit the patient with prostate cancer. The ionizing radiation causes single and double stranded breaks to the neoplastic cells DNA, this halts replication and cell function until it can be repaired. Etoposide is a podophyllotoxin that inhibits topoisomerase II, the enzyme responsible for unwinding the DNA. If the DNA cannot unwind, the cell will be unable to replicate, transcribe mRNA, or repair itself. If the cell is unable to repair…

Outcome of the hypospadias reconstruction is closely related to getting an expert knowledge about the surgical anatomy of the normal and hypospadiac penis. In general, the hypospadiac and the normal penis are similar in many aspects. The anatomical and histological analysis revealed that the neurodevelopment and the corporal bodies are similar except at the ventral aspect where there is arrested urethral development, deficient of corpora spongiosum, and abortive prepuce. (13) In general the…

to many are synonymous with words around wartime rhetoric. However, in my mind they are meant to evoke positivity at an unimaginably difficult time in a cancer survivors life especially when the diagnosis is that of stage four, advanced metastatic prostate cancer. I suppose it could actually be misconstrued as waging war on oneself, but for me this was the mindset approach needed. So I make no excuse for using them in my description and sentencing for, it is this approach that has taken me…

Often times while watching television or listening to the radio, a company will advertisement a product. Whether the product be an engaging toy, an effective cleaning chemical, or a new wonder drug, at the very end of the advertisement there is most always a disclaimer. “This toy is not safe for children under three years old” and “do not use this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding” are among the more popular sayings. The reason for the latter disclaimer is likely due to the advertised…

when PSA levels are at least half of what current imaging techniques can detect. Researchers at Mayo Clinic Florida campus are first to link the enzyme PRSS3 to prostate cancer and have also developed a compound that inhibits the ability of this molecule to promote the metastatic spread of the cancer. Oncologic Virotherapy for Prostate…

transurethral resection of prostate. Transurethral resection of the prostate is a surgery used to treat urinary problem due to enlarged prostate. This procedure is often done to relieve symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate which is often related to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is benign (noncancerous), it is often related to aging. However, it can lead to urinary problem if not treated. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra just beneath the bladder. When prostate gland enlarges,…
