Abstract: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most frequent urological malignancies in adults. It represents for aproximately %3 of all adult malignancies and accounts %90 of neoplasms arising from kidney. RCC often metastasizes to other organs, but very rarely to the head and neck region including maxilla and mandible. A 62-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the mandible was presented in this work.…
When people hear the word cancer, they think of a terrifying, life threatening disease. Have they ever thought of how it even started? Cancer cells grow and spread throughout the body in many ways, and sure you can catch it early but not usually. Cancer spreads to many things in and on the body, not just where the cancer is, but especially all of the bloodstreams in your body.…
A common form of cancer are formed by epithelial cells. Carcinoma that begins in epithelial cells have different names like,…
The American Cancer Society is one of the oldest and largest volunteer based health foundations in the United States. This society is one of the greatest non-profit organizations nationwide. For over 100 years the American Cancer Society has worked relentlessly to save lives and to create a world that is cancer free. Two years ago, my sister was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, it was quite a ride for my entire family. After the doctors informed us of this horrible news, within days a biopsy and many scans were done to make sure they accurately knew where this tumor had formed. Days later we were in the emergency room and the surgery was in progress. Through these many months, the American Cancer Society was there not only there for research…
Cancer was something that happened in my life that I did not see coming. No of course it was not me who was hit with the big C. This happened to my sister when I was in the 6th grade. This took a major change to me and it changed who I am today. When this happened it took control of my sister. My sister has never had a fair life for her. When ever she would get passed a major thing in her life something always comes around to bite her. This thing that started it all happened when she was 3-4 years old and my sister needed to have brain surgery because she was constantly having seizures because of a brain condition called cortical dysplasia. This is a malformation in the development of the brain. Basically what this means is she had spots that…
Finding out that you have any type of cancer will change your life and wonder how and why it happens to them. Even after many years and billions of dollars of research, we still don't know exactly what causes cancer. But we do know how to identify people who are at higher risk of developing specific cancers. A well-known cancer that majority women get but also men can get as well is breast cancer. Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the tissues of the breast. Everyone has a risk factor; a risk factor is anything that affects your chances of getting a particular disease. They are risk factors that you cannot change and those are: age, gender, family history of breast cancer, genes, and menstrual cycle.…
Although prostate cancer is not considered a life threatening cancer, it is still vital for men to get correctly in order to avoid this burden. First I provide a quick background on what prostate cancer is and how it comes to fruition. Then I present the information regarding the foods that can be helpful and/or hurtful in preventing prostate cancer such as: how tomatoes reduce the chances of prostate cancer, how proteins reduce the chances of prostate cancer, the effect of green and yellow vegetables, the advantages of vitamins, liquids and drinks that are beneficial, along with legumes and soybeans effects.. Also, I have included the best life style choices and medical supplements that can be beneficial.…
Prostate Cancer is the second most common cancer among men, after skin cancer, and is the leading cause of cancer death in men in the United States. Prostate cancer is caused by changes in the DNA of a prostate cell that turns off tumor suppressor genes and activate oncogenes. Essentially, cancer is an epigenetic programming problem. Epigenetics is the study of trait variations that are caused by factors that turn genes on and off and change how cells read genes. Immune evasion is when alterations in cancer cells, such as antigen expression, inhibit the recognition and evade an immune response. In tumorigenic cells, tumor suppressor genes tend to be hypermethylated. Hypermethylation results in the silencing of those genes, leading to immune…
In conclusion prostate cancer may not be the deadliest cancers around but can affect family members all around . Treatments are available and survival rate is very high. Prostate cancer can be treated with just simple things like diet, weight loss, less fat intake and…
It is scientifically proven to this day, that there are at least 100 types of cancer, Lung cancer, Heart cancer, Leg cancer, Arm cancer, Radiation cancer, Brain cancer, you name it, and the world has it. “Cancer does not have a face until it’s yours or someone you know.” -Anthony Del Monte. Though cancer is mostly from exposure to radiation, it could be just because of a genetic symptom, that you, or someone else was given when they were born, or were developing, from their DNA, or genetics from their family tree. Cancer can’t be given, unless it’s a genetic mutation, or from radiation. I have heard so many jokes about cancer, people have laughed to me when I said, “Oh, did you guys hear, someone died of breast cancer, a couple days ago.” They would, and did respond with, “Pff, Breast cancer, a man who died of breast cancer, isn’t…
Rectal cancer is the most common cancer experienced by either men or women. It happens in individuals regardless of age. It is only next to breast cancer in terms of frequency. Based on my research and observation, hereditary factors plays a part in being afflicted with the disease. The rectum is the lower part of the colon that connects the large bowel to the anus.Rectal cancer forms inside the large intestine, which is approximately five and a half feet long. The first five feet of the large intestine is called the colon. The rectum makes up the last six inches. This is where stool collects and then passes out of the body through the anus during a bowel movement rectal cancer occurs when cancerous cells develop in the tissue…
Cancer is a group of diseases that are cell-related. In the event of cancer, regular body cells begin changing and growing in improper ways. Regular cells grow, divide and eventually die off. Irregular cells (cancerous cells) simply keep growing and divide out of control they don 't die.…
To begin with, it's pertinent to put cancers in the right perspective. By way of definition, a cancer is a malignant tumor or swelling composed of abnormal cells capable of undergoing uncontrolled proliferation. Many erroneously hold the view that every swelling or lump is cancer. However, this is not so. Unlike benign swellings, cancerous cells generally have the tendency to invade surrounding tissues and sometimes metastasize (break off and spread) to distant body tissues via the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Cancers result when there is a disruption to the normal process of cell division. Body cells are continuously undergoing cell division, albeit in a controlled manner to replace aging and dead cells. However, a fault or mutation sometimes…
In 2015, about 61, 560 new cases of kidney cancer will occur with approximately 62% occurring in men. About 22% of those diagnosed with kidney cancer will die from the disease. Kidney cancer is one of the top ten cancers found in men and women (“American Cancer Society,” 2015). Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer and it can affect anyone. This paper will discuss the etiology, signs and symptoms, treatments and prognosis for those that are diagnosed with RCC I chose to research this cancer because a friend of mine died from metastatic mucinous tubular spindle renal cell carcinoma at the age of 24. He was the 13th person in the United States to be diagnosed. When Cody passed away, I realized that cancer could truly…
Cancer is a disease caused by normal cells changing, so that they grow in abnormal and uncontrolled way. The uncontrolled growth of cells form a lump called tumour. Once the tumour has become cancerous it can cause problems in the following ways:…
