model that contribute to Oral Cancer Three-dimensional (3D) in-vitro cell culture is a system best in reflecting or mimicking the in vivo cancer cell behavior and its progression in cancer microenvironment (Gurski et al., 2010). As before, cancer research is depends on 2D model and the small animal test model to study on the tumor angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis (Godugu et al., 2013). However, animal model is not an ideal for long term and large scale research although it response with the
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Tumors are then created and interfering with the digestive, nervous and circulatory systems. It is one of the most leading causes of death, reaching at about 8.2 million deaths in 2012. It is expected that cancer will rise from 14 million to 22 million within the next 2 decades. With over 100 cancer research centers in the United States studying how to treat this disease, people need to understand the importance of donating also with
Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells continuously divide body tissue. It develops when the body's normal control mechanism stops working. Old cells do not perish but instead grow profusely, forming new abnormal cells. These extra cells can go on and form a mass of tissue, called a tumor. However, some cancers, such leukemia, do not form tumors. The human body contain millions of cells. Once a cell malfunction or grow erratically it is likely that it could turn into a tumor and cause cancer
Cancer is one of the most harmful and deadly diseases to humankind. The number of those who contract and fall victim to cancer continues to rise, though in comparison, the number of treatments to counteract this disease also rises. In today’s society a lot is put into finding a cure for cancer. Many organizations raise funds and awareness for certain types of cancers and there are labs around the world focused on revealing the secrets that cancer keeps. Even through all this effort, the key to cracking
Gastric cancer, also commonly referred to as stomach cancer, is a devastating malady that has a 75% fatality rate.1 Worldwide, gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality.2 It is fifth most predominant cancer throughout the world,1 and is it ranks third in deaths attributed to cancer.3 People from Eastern Asia, such as China, Japan and Korea, have a higher chance of getting gastric cancer compared to the rest of the world, and the lowest incidence rates are reported from the Eastern
More Funding for Pediatric Cancer Studies show that one in five kids who are diagnosed with cancer will die. This horrifying disease is the second cause of death in children and infants. Pediatric Cancer can not only affect the child who is going through various tests and therapy, but also the supporting family who watched their son or daughter grow. Millions of money is donated every year, but yet there still will be, in 2015, more than 10,000 reported cases of children under 15. Out of those 16
Cancer is a poisonous disease. In lament terms it is an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in parts of the body. A malignant growth. To people who fall victim to this disease and their loved ones it is a death sentence. Thankfully scientific research is so advanced that we know multiple causes of cancer and how we can live a healthier lifestyle to prevent cancer. Our skin is the largest organ of our bodies. It serves a variety of functions such as it aids in the control of our body temperature
carcinoma/Liver Cancer Abstract The type of cancer in which i chose to work on is Hepatocellular carcinoma a common type of liver cancer. Liver cancer is a very serious disease just like any other type of cancer. For some years now it has been getting more dangerous as more people are affected by this cancer. It is the most common type of Cancer that comes from the liver and as well as number six on the world ranking for malignancies, as well being the third leading cause to death based on cancer. Having
Billions of dollars have been spent on cancer research in the last few decades, and yet science have not found a definite solution in preventing cancer. Oral cancer is one of the most disfiguring type of cancers as treatment can consist of removing a significant portion of the facial structure. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 49,670 people will get oral cancer and of those, an estimated 9,700 people will die from it. Oral cancer accounts for only 2.9% of new cases in the
According to the American Cancer Society, Each year, more than 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer; furthermore Twelve percent of all women will contract the disease, and 3.5% of them will die from breast cancer (American Cancer Society, 2005). There are risk factors that may lead to breast cancer. There are 4 stages of breast cancer and several treatments, although treatments vary from types and stages of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women who are

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells (American cancer society, 2017). If the spread is not controlled, it can result in death. Cancer causes include life style factors (external) such as tobacco use and non-modifiable (internal) factors, such as inherited genetic mutations, hormones and immune conditions. These risk factors may act simultaneously or in sequence to initiate and/or promote cancer growth. Worldwide cancer statistics for
Bone cancer can be hereditary even though it is a “rare type of cancer,” (McCoy 1). There are six different types of bone cancer including “Osteosarcoma, Chondrosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, Fibrosarcoma, Giant cell tumor, and Chordoma.” (McCoy 1) Each type of bone cancer specifies different locations in the body. Bone cancer is either called “primary (starts in bone tissue) or secondary (it traveled to the bone from another area of the body),” (McCoy 1) “The main cause of bone cancer is unknown”, according
Digestive Disorder Etiology and Epidemiology Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is the disease that sounds exactly what its name refers to; cancer of the stomach. Although this cancer is named after its point of origin(like many other cancers), tumors can also spread to other parts of the body as the disease progresses (American Cancer Society).The early stages of stomach cancer is characterized by its symptoms of stomach discomfort, nausea, loss of appetite, and heartburn, while the
Kidney cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in the kidney that is cancerous (malignant). Unlike noncancerous (benign) tumors, malignant tumors can spread to other parts of your body. The kidneys are the organs that filter your blood and keep it clean. They move waste out of your blood and into your urine. Urine passes from the kidneys, through the ureters, and into the bladder. When you urinate, these wastes leave the body. RISK FACTORS There are a number of risk factors that can increase your
Bone Cancer Imagine a world filled with pain. Standing up is hard, lifting a spoon hurts, and walking has to be done with a cane. This is the everyday life of someone who has bone cancer. To them, lifting a plate can be as hard as lifting two hundred pounds is to a normal person. Bone cancer is a deadly tumor in the bone, cartilage, muscle, fibrous tissue, nerve tissue, or fatty tissue (Silverstein 30). The National Cancer Institute of the United States estimated that by the end of 2016,
Cancer The Silent Assassin Do you know about this kid called Vinny? Vinny is a 9 year old who grew out his hair to donate to a charity for people who are battling cancer. Now Vinny has been diagnosed with stage four cancer behind his left eye, his hips, his nose and his cheeks. This is how silent cancer can be. It is so silent that it could happen to anyone including Vinny. Also, cancer kills eight million per year worldwide. According to The American Cancer Society “Cancer is the second most
The sixth most common cancer in the world is prostate cancer. African American men of the United States are said to have the highest rates. According to Dr. Henrik Grönberg, there are dietary factors that are associated with prostate cancer. High intakes of fat, meat, and dairy products, a western lifestyle, are associated with prostate cancer. In addition, products that are tomato-based are associated with the reduced risk of prostate cancer. Other studies have also suggested that men who had high
Research The pancreas is an organ that secretes enzymes made by the exocrine cells into the small intestines which aids in digestion. The pancreas also produces insulin which is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Pancreatic Cancer is a type of disease in which cancerous cells form in the pancreas. The cancerous cells usually first form and attack the exocrine cells. It is predicted that about 55,440 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2018. It is also predicted that about 44,330
Cancer can be very overwhelming and scary for the patient especially when they don’t have the emotional support that they need. This is why the American Cancer Society created a program that people can become patient support volunteers, who lend a helping hand and sometimes a shoulder to cry on. Cancer has a great effect on the patient meaning we need to do the best to let them know that we are here for them and will do anything that is needed for them. Some people don’t understand fully what
