BMI-1 Autoantibody as a New Potential Biomarker for Cervical Carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was any correlation between elevated levels of the BMI-1 autoantibody and cervical carcinoma. In order to determine whether any correlation existed, the levels of the autoantibody BMI-1 in patients who had cervical carcinoma of varying stages and those who did not have cervical carcinoma were compared. Overexpression of BMI-1 has already been associated with certain

It is important for women with lobular carcinoma in situ to have regular clinical breast exams and mammograms. There are many treatment options for breast cancer, the main types of treatment are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and bone-directed therapy.
Breast cancer is a type of cancer originates from breast tissue, generally from the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk. Cancers originating from lobules are known as lobular carcinomas whereas from ducts are called ductal carcinomas. (Ref: Breast Cancer, National Cancer Institute) Invasive breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread from the point of origin in the breast ducts/lobules to the surrounding normal tissue cells. In exceptional cases, breast cancer

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is a type of cancer caused by neoplasms arising from the squamous epithelium of an animal regardless of species. However, this essay will only focus on this condition among felines since my chosen species is a white cat called Rosie. There are several forms of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma among felines, which are known as solar keratosis
Breast Cancer Breast cancer is only one of 200 different types of cancer. It is considered a woman’s disease but both men and women have the disease. Every year, more than 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. Twelve percent of all women will get the disease and 3.5% of them will die. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women who are 40 to 55 years old. Cancer occurs when cells divide uncontrollably. Cells keep dividing even though new cells are not needed. Change
Breast Cancer What would you do if you found out you had breast cancer? Who would you tell first? How would you deal with it? The diagnosis of breast cancer is becoming more common today; we need to know what the symptoms are, and how to help prevent it. Breast cancer is the leading reason of death in women in the United States; it has increased greatly over the last 30 years. Many people wonder why it has increased so much in the last few years, and there are many reasons that it has. Breast cancer
Breast Cancer and Women’s Health Breast Cancer is defined as “a group of solid tumor malignancies arising in the tissues of the breast” (Sarah Crawford, Richard Alder, 2013) in human and other mammals. It can happen to both men and women. For women, breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death. According to National Cancer Institute, in the United States, the 2014 estimated new cases and deaths of female from breast cancer are 232,670 and 40,000, respectively. For male, it’s 430 deaths
all since at least I'm here to talk about my bout with cancer. I'm trusting your cancer is in complete remission as is my (100%) case that started with discovery of Breast Cancer (x2). 2001 (age 49 - discovered at Walter Reed): Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) - Stage 2A (invasive type tumor ~2-5cm not yet spread to lymph nodes). Performed lumpectomy, recovered ~4 weeks, then started chemo (every three weeks x 5) and eventually radiation (once every 8 weeks). Started working after first round of
Cutaneous Melanoma skin cancer is known to be the most dangerous form of skin cancer. Melanoma begins when malignant cancer cells form in the melanocytes. These melanocytes are melanin-producing cells found in the outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis. Increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or tanning beds causes DNA damage that can lead to the proliferation of such cancer cells and eventually form malignant tumors. There are approximately 10,130 deaths associated with melanoma
Chronic diseases are the ones that cannot be cured, but can only be controlled and are long lasting (The Centre for Managing Chronic Disease, 2011). Chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, stroke and respiratory diseases are the most leading cause of mortality in the world, which represents 60% of deaths all over. Research shows that 80% of chronic disease deaths occur in low and middle income countries (World Health Organization, 2015). This paper talks about some actual and potential
Introduction Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts in the cells of the breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that can grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. The disease occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get it, too (What is Breast Cancer, 2015). The purpose of this evaluation is to introduce the audience to breast cancer; discuss risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis; address the mind- body connection of
One half of men and one third of women will get cancer in their lifetime. ½ million people are going to die this year, that’s more than 1,500 people per day! One in eight deaths in the world is due to cancer. Cancer causes more deaths than AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. Cancer is a disease that’s preventable, curable, and deadly. Cancer is a disease when abnormal cells divide without control and invade other tissues in the body. Normal cells divide in a regulated way to generate new cells
NSCLCs affect different types of lung cells. They account for 85 to 95 percent of all lung cancer diagnosis. • Squamous cell carcinoma (epidermoid carcinoma) starts in the cells lining the airways of the lungs and is also found in the bronchus, towards the middle of the lungs. Its development is often linked to a history of smoking. Squamous cell carcinomas account for 25% to 30% of all lung cancers. • Adenocarcinoma begins in the mucus producing glands of the lungs. This is the
mother’s face is burned into my memory forever. As she hung up the phone, I already knew the news was not what we had expected. She burst into tears as my father held her, tears falling from his own eyes. That day she was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ, a form of breast cancer. That day was her 50th birthday. Following that dreadful day, the next few months were nothing short of horrid. Through the many months of treatment, I felt the burden of staying strong for not only my mother, but also
Topic: Breast Cancer General Purpose: To inform Specific Purpose: To inform the viewer about what breast cancer is and how someone gets this disease. Central Ideas (thesis): Understanding what breast cancer is and how someone gets this disease as well as the symptoms, diagnosis, stages and the treatment for this disease. INTRODUCTION Attention getter: Every 13 minutes one women will die in the U.S. from breast cancer which makes it the second top cause of death in women. Every 19 seconds there
one out of eight women will be diangnoced will breast cancer in their lifetime. It is estimated that in 2016 an approximate number of 40,450 women will be dead due to breast cancer (ACS 2016). There are two stages of breast cancer which are carcinoma in situ (CIS) and invasive cancer. CIS is the early stage of cancer and invasive cancer is when the cancer grows into the breast tissue and it becomes part of the cancer. It is estimated about 246,660 invasive cancer patients will be discovered and 61
Introduction The body is composed of cells. Normally, these cells divide at a composed and calculated manner. If cells die or are destroyed, the body creates more cells through the division of existing cells. However, occasionally, 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

(118) Definition of pancreatic cancer (514-617) Pancreatic cancer is a disease that malignant cells are found in the tissues of the pancreas, and it involves carcinomas of the head of the pancreas, hepatic pancreatic ampulla, the common bile duct, and the duodenum. Although tumours can develop from the both exocrine and endocrine tissues, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) is the commonest pancreatic cancer
are mainly older, males, heavy users of alcohol and tobacco, and have a poor diet and low socioeconomic status4, 5. Recent studies have implicated HPV infection as an independent risk factor for oro-pharyngeal cancers6, 7. For oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the role of HPV remains controversial8. OSCC initiates in a multi-step process in which normal cells are transformed into preneoplastic cells and then to cancer9. During this process a sequential accumulation of genetic and molecular changes
