between the two kinds of tumor. Each kind of tumor has its own characteristics. Benign tumors cannot spread out to other parts of the body because they are capsulated by a fibrous sheath of connective tissue. Therefore, they remain at their original sites. In contrast, malignant tumors (cancers) are not capsulated, so they have the ability to metastasize through blood and lymphatic vessels in a process called metastasis (1). The result of this process is new masses of the tumor will be created…
The Major Cancer Cause That Remains Suppressed Since 1930 In the past 125 years, there have been a number of discoveries about the cause of cancer. In 1890, William Russell found out that cancer cells contain microbes. Later on, it was discovered that these microbes change their size and shape due to the pH level inside the cancer cells. In 1930, Dr. Royal Raymond Rife proved that the cancer cells revert into normal cells if the microbes inside these cells are destroyed. Dr. Rife developed…
Integrative Research Centers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (A): The mission of the CNTC is to transform cancer therapy by enabling the early detection of cancer using nanoparticles and molecular imaging, as well as by developing new treatments with tumor- targeting technology. Specifically, the major activities of the center will focus on identifying unique biomarkers that could be targeted with nanoparticles themselves or antibody-labeled nanoparticles, and captured with…
Wayward Cells 1. Explain how transitions are used to lead into and out of each step. In the essay, “Wayward Cells,” the author used different transitions to explain how tumor cells cause damage to the human body in different ways. The different damages were organized in order using transition words like first, second, and third. Throughout the essay, the author also uses “for example,” to add more support to the emphasized idea. The transition words “fortunately” is used by author to entry into…
A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within the brain, which can be cancerous or non-cancerous (benign). It is generally caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division, normally either in the brain itself (neurons, glial cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells), lymphatic blood vessels), in the cranial nerves (myelin-producing Schwann cells), in the brain envelopes (meninges), skull, pituitary and pineal gland, or spread from cancers primarily located in other organs…
regional failure with or without distant metastasis. Recurrent tumors usually extensively damage surrounding tissue. In rNPC patients, physical status and immune system are generally poor because of prior treatment. A study of Lee from Hong Kong reported that 52% of patients developed rNPC within 2 years, and 39%, within 2–5 years6. Precision imaging was role to support the diagnosis of…
One of the latest technologies I have come across was a product that is similar to what I would call a pain patch. A pain patch was something that a person wore and their body would absorb the medication during the time they wore such patch. This new product is an elastic film that has studded biocompatible microcapsules that are packed with nanoparticles that can be filled with whatever drugs are needed (Di, Yao, Ye, Cui, yu, Ghosh, Zhu, & Gu. (2015). The simplicity of how it works is easy. The…
Discussion Question #6 Article Summary My research paper is about a cytokine --- Tumor necrosis factor alpha, which is involved in systemic inflammation and is found in high concentration in patients diagnosed with autoimmune disorders. The article chosen describes the effects caused by a change in the level of cytokine Tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a). The cytokine TNF-a is a proinflammatory, recognized to encourage HIV-1 reproduction and is involved in the development of HIV-1 related…
What I am aiming to show in my essay is that humans can overcome anything if they have the right type of determination. This essay communicates a message aimed at teenagers. I am writing about this character because he shows that anyone can survive if they have what it takes. The Pianist, directed by Roman Polanski, presents viewers with the story of Wladyk Szpilman and his desire to survive against all odds, as he endures terrible hardship and pain. He manages to survive this terrible ordeal…
In The Pianist begins in Warsaw, Poland at the beginning of the Second World War,first introducing Wladyslaw (Wladek) Szpilman, who works as a pianist for the local radio. The Polish Army has been defeated in three weeks by the German Army and Szpilman's radio station is bombed while he plays live on the air. While evacuating the building he finds a friend of his who introduces him to his sister, Dorota. Szpilman is immediately attracted to her. Wladyslaw returns home to find his parents and…
