Wilms' tumor

Enchondroma is a type of noncancerous bone tumor that begins in the cartilage. While these tumors are not frequently cancerous, they can still lead to deformity and fractures of large or small long bones. Although the cause of enchondromas are unknown, the tumors may be either from an overgrowth of cartilage that lines the ends of the bones or a persistent growth of original, embryonic cartilage. Enchondromas can affect anyone but specifically affects patients between the ages of 10 to 20 years…

Cancerous cells take advantage of existing cell structures such as microtubules, to divide and multiply. Microtubules aid the cells in dividing and creating a similar cell. Potent anti-microtubule agents work by blocking the microtubules from performing their usual functions. When this happens, the cells are incapable of dividing and creating similar cells, and ultimately die. These anti-microtubule agents can’t differentiate between normal cells and the cancerous cells, and act on normal cells…

processes of the cell cycle, apoptosis, and die. When cancer cells cannot perform this process of dying they continue to rapidly grow and multiply. Eventually they become a large growth of cells also known as a tumor. When a tumor is not harmful it is called a “benign” tumor. When a tumor is harmful and cancerous it is considered “malignant”. From there the cancer is at stage 1 and will begin to spread through time. Moving its way through the stages and hopefully it has already been discovered…

aspartames have also shown to cause headaches and migraines. Headaches can also be experienced in lower doses if one has an allergy to formaldehyde, a byproduct of aspartame. Aspartame consumption in rats has shown to promote the growth of malignant tumors, which should raise doubts on whether aspartame in truly safe for human consumption. Animals are good to use for aspartame studies because humans studies are affects by too many uncontrollable variables that could tamper with the results, such…

Hypoxia is a crucial feature of locally advanced solid tumors resulting from a poor oxygen supply delivery owing to excessive cellular proliferation and abnormal vascular architecture. Under these circumstances, cancer cells develop a series of responses in order to adapt to hypoxic conditions. The tumor suppressor p53 has been shown to mediate the cellular response to hypoxia depending on many contexts including cell type, duration and severity of hypoxic exposure. The sphingolipid ceramide,…

your cherished one's condition turns more terrible. Feeling overwhelmed: It is normal to feel overwhelmed as a guardian. Giving pragmatic and enthusiastic support to somebody with tumor can feel like an all day work. Could It Be Depression? It is typical to feel tragic or irate when a friend or family member has the tumor. In any case, converse with your specialist in the event that you have any of these emotions or side effects for over two weeks: • Feeling overpowered or powerless • Prolonged…

In 1896 Roentgen presented the idea of the x-ray. Only a few months later, systems were already being designed to use the x-ray for diagnosis. Within 3 years, the radiation was being used in cancer treatment. A single idea for treatment grew in a short period of time, with the help of technology. Today we are seeing scientific advances like never before. As advancements in technology grow, the options for cancer treatment improve drastically. Sterotactic radiation, cytotron, and an…

neurology, sleep, cancer, and drug discovery. The multivariable effects in cancer can be studied by observing D. melanogaster because of its tumorigenesis caused by genes and its surrounding environment. The development of tumors in D. melanogaster is similar to the pathway of a tumor in a mammalian cell as it undergoes…

old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when not needed. Cancer can occur some organs and each organs can have different reaction to the disease. Many cancers are solid tumors, which are masses of tissue. Blood cancers, such as leukemias, generally do not form solid tumors. Leukemia is located in the blood or in the bone marrow, but it can spread to lymph nodes, spleen, liver, central nervous system and other organs. This type of cancer can affect the…

Targeting solid tumors - primary & metastatic - irrespective of their anatomical location in the body or pathological sub-type – and permeating drug molecules into the targeted tumor mass, will improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce life-threatening systemic toxicities induced by routinely administered chemotherapeutic regimens. Creating molecular dimension-specific temporary pores in the cell membrane using precisely computed, safe radiofrequencies (RF) from an external source, to…
