Cancer has become a very common illness world wide for any age but mostly affecting adults. One can get cancer from different places in the body that is why there are so many people with cancer, because of all the different types. Cancer can affect any gender, female or male, and any age. It varies from ovarian cancer to prostate cancer, skin cancer to lukemia. Cancer has been a problem for many years yet we have not found a cure to treat and prevent cancer. If one is affected by cancer there are
CONCLUSION Cancer has become the one of the most feared things for human beings. The various type of cancer have been discovered and there are still a lot of it that undiscoverable. Cancer is a complex disease that have a group of disease. The cancer itself cannot be describe by words. The causes of this cancer is still not being able to be discovered fully. There are only minor factor that can lead to this disease. The carcinogens are believed to be one of the causes that lead to cancer such as asbestos
Cancer is a deadly disease that affects millions of American families each year. In cancer, cell division isn't controlled. Usually, cells have to go through a set of checks and balances before they divide, in cancer that is nonexistent. The cells just keep duplicating until they eventually form disorganized clumps called tumors. Tumors can either be, benign, meaning that they do not possess the power to metastasize to surrounding areas. If a tumor has the power to metastasize, it is classified as
These cells (that have cancer in them) are able to go into other muscles or part of body by growing into them. They can also get into other tissue by putting themselves into faraway places in the body by “Metastasis”. Metastasis is a process that when cancer cells move through the blood stream or lymphatic system. When this happens, a person’s cancer can be spread inside his/her body. Cancer can affect anybody at any age. Most types of cancer are more possible to affect people as they get older.
and physiology of the human body. In case malignant growths develop due to abnormality in the body cells, a condition known as cancer develops. Cancer basically can occur on any part of the body. The most common forms of cancer are lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, cancer of the brain and colon cancer among others. Development of colon cancer begins when the process of the normal replacement of cells on the colon lining is interfered with which in most cases is due to
Definition of cancer. Cancer is a wide range of diseases which form a subset of Neoplasm. A tumor is a group of Neoplasm that have undergone unregulated growth. Neoplasm serves no physiological function and will often form a lump. Cancer can result by genetic that are inherited from ancestors. It is possible to be born with a specific genetic mutations or a fault in a certain gene that makes the person more likely to develop cancer later in life. Cancer classification nowadays, types of primary
Cancer Overview Cancer is one of the primary causes of death worldwide, and one of the two largest groupings of diseases in the Western world, with the other being cardiovascular diseases (Teunissen, et al., 2007). Globally, one out of every eight deaths is cancer related, but what does this truly mean? Cancer is a term used to describe the diseases that involve the uncontrolled division of cells, also known as neoplasms, which typically originate from a larger mass of cells, referred to as a tumor;
Cancer Cancer is a broad category of the disease characterized by undefined outgrowth of cells that divide uncontrollably to form nasty tumors within an individual. The cancerous cells causing the tumors grow and divide creating new blood vessels to feed themselves in a process called angiogenesis (Veeratterapillay, 2012). The tumors often spread to other parts of the body swiftly due to the unregulated growth and dividing of the cells through the bloodstream or the lymphatic systems in the body
problems with some cells in the body may occur. Cancer starts when cells in a part of the body start to grow out of control. Cancer cell growth is different from normal cell growth. Instead of dying, cancer cells continue to grow and form new, abnormal cells. Cancer cells can also invade (grow into) other tissues, something that normal cells cannot do. Growing out of control and invading other tissues are what makes a cell a cancer cell. Cells become cancer cells because of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
Introduction Cancer, the big “C”, is a broad term used for many different diseases. Cancer is a term that describes abnormal cell growth. Neoplasia is a “new growth”, usually defined as abnormal. This growth can be benign, a simple tumor that is easily treated based on location and symptomatology or the growth may be malignant. A malignant neoplasm, cancer, is defined by the nature of the cell growth. The National Cancer Institute presents that there are more than 100 different types of cancer, most named
