rays that come in contact with their body. Both types of people are at fault in the way in which they are using the sun. Those who spend too much time outside may develop skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common cancer; about 3.5 million cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancer are diagnosed each year. Another 73,000 cases are caused by melanoma, a more dangerous but less common type of skin cancer. Basal cell, squamous cell and melanoma cancers tend to be found on parts of the body over…

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…

Breast cancer and neoplasm begin with a damaged part of a cell’s DNA that continues to get transcribed and replicated. According to the National Cancer Institute, 12% of woman will develop breast cancer in their lifetime (2015). The rate of diagnoses of breast cancer has leveled off in this past decade, and the mortality rate has decreased recently. However, it remains the second leading cause of death in women, second to lung cancer (National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of…

Multiple myeloma is a rare cancer, but if developed it is extremely hard to fight. It is the second most common blood cancer in adults, but in 2015 only 2% of cancer cases were multiple myeloma. The first documented case of multiple myeloma was in 1844. There have been hundreds of thousands of cases since then and there are constant improvements being made on treatments for this currently incurable cancer. Stem cell transplants have become a standard treatment for multiple myeloma patients, but…

In relation to sample size, this research involved 147 patients and samples from their tumors. These patients had breast cancer and breast cancer is very prominent in the United States of America. It is known that the amplification of cyclin D1 can lead to the development of cancer. According to this research paper the…

I will be focusing on the Kidney Cancer, but to understand Kidney Cancer, one needs to know about the systems it resides in. Starting from the Endocrine System, to the Urinary System, then to the Kidneys. The Endocrine System is made up of glands in an organism that secrete hormones directly into the circulatory system. The hormones that the glands secrete, help to regulate very important internal processes. The processes that they regulate are, growth and development, equilibrium through out…

CANCER CELLS VERSE HEALTHY CELLS The cells in our body are always replicating through the process of cell division known as mitosis. The cells growth is regulated, meaning that cell division only occurs when cells are damaged, lost, or worn out. However, some cells such as cancer cells lose control of cell division and reproduce uncontrollably. They lose their control of replication when the gene, in which controls the cell to stop growing at a certain point, is lost or not present. The figure…
