Types of cancer

cancer if the persons’ family has a history of bladder cancer or any type of cancer. There are factors that decrease the risk of bladder cancer. Being active, giving birth, having menopause later in life, a higher fruit and vegetable intake and someone that has Parkinson’s disease has a lower risk of bladder cancer. Researchers do not know exactly what causes bladder cancer. Changes in DNA or in normal cells can cause cancer. When normal cancer cells have a mutation it makes cells grow…

Emma Robinson Eden Newman Honors English 3 October 2016 Cancer Cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in parts of the body. Cancer results from an abnormal growth of malignant cells. We also have genes in our body which control how all cells work. Each gene has a certain job or task. If one gene has abnormalities or does not function properly, all of the other genes are changed. This creates an abnormal protein. Abnormal proteins sendoff different…

Introduction: The paper discusses in detail potentially new drugs discovery for prostate cancer disease by exploiting literature-derived knowledge and semantics. Using knowledge discovery methodologies is, recently, getting popular for all types of drastically growing data sources such as medical data. Although the authors argue that their methodology is groundbreaking and it sounds reasonably effective, the methodology could have been more practical and automated by reducing a manual…

Vaginal Cancer is a very serious disease that should be taken care of as soon as possible. This is a disease where the cancer cells are formed in the vagina. There is two main cancer which are not very common but are Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma. These next two aren’t so much common, vaginal melanoma develops in the melanocytes of your vagina and vaginal sarcoma develops in the tissue cells of the wall of your vagina. Squamous Cell Carcinoma forms in thin and flat cells…

oncologist orders a biopsy of the tumor to confirm malignancy and the results come back positive. It is now clear that the patient has cancer. The next step is to diagnose the specific type of cancer. The patient undergoes a CT of the lungs to look for tumors in the lungs. The results are normal, ruling out lung cancer. A lymph node biopsy is performed to indicate if the cancer is from the lymphatic system. The results are positive for malignancies. The patient is then taken to surgery, where…

What is Cancer? Cancer is formed when malignant tumors are formed inside one’s body. Malignant tumors are defined as “ a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues.” Quoted from https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-terms/def/malignancy Tumors are also defined as a mass of tissues which also called lumps. These tumors are formed when the normal process of cells dividing itself was disrupted because normally, our body signals…

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…

There are more than 100 types of human cancer. Cancer is a malignant neoplasm. Cancer is a group of diseases that involve abnormal cell growth, often spreading throughout the body. Cancer causes over 10% of all human deaths.("Bone tumor") It starts out as a small tumor that then grows unrestricted. Because cancer cells replicate endlessly the cancer will spread until it interferes so heavily with the patients bodily functions that they die. Bone tumors can be cancerous. Benign bone tumors are…

In 2014, there was an estimated 1,665,540 new cancer cases diagnosed and 585,720 cancer deaths in the United States. Cancer remains the second most common cause of death in the United States, accounting for nearly 1 of every 4 deaths (American Cancer Society). Today, statistics show that 1 in every 3 Americans will be diagnosed with cancer sometime during their life (American Cancer Society). As cancer is becoming a more prevalent problem in society, there is an exceptional need for a solution.…

What is Cancer? Cancer is the name for a group of more than 100 diseases. Although there are many kinds of cancer, all cancers start because abnormal cells grow out of control. Untreated cancers can cause serious illness and death. There is no known cure for any cancer, however there are multiple types of treatments. And Cancer can be overcome, it is just not 100 percent chance that it will be overcome every time. Normal cells grow, divide to make new cells, and die in an formattable way.…
