Osteosarcoma Osteosarcoma is an unfortunate and insidious cancer. It is a common type of bone cancer that develops from osteoblasts‚ cells that make growing bone. This disease commonly affects teens that are experiencing a growth spurt. There is a higher incidence in boys than girls and it is mostly found in the larger bones of the body‚ such as the arms and legs. Osteosarcoma is one of the few cancers that metastasize (spread); however‚ it can diffuse to other bones or organs in the body. There

IVD Antibody Development Services for PPWD1 Marker PPWD1: Cyclophilins consist of one of the three classes of peptidylprolyl isomerases discovered in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms‚ together with viruses. Most of the seventeen human cyclophilins with the catalytic domain are in tandem with other domains‚ but many particular functions of a specific cyclophilin or its relevant domains remain unclear. The structure of the isomerase domain from a spliceosome-correlated cyclophilin‚ PPWD1 which

Ewings sarcoma Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) named after Dr. James wing in 1921; he was the first man identified the disease that uncontrollably destroys the bone or body tissue of the human body (Randall‚ n.d.). ES is a disseminated small round neoplasm‚ which commonly occurs in the bones and unusually in body tissue (Iwamoto‚ 2007). ES is the second leading tumor in the bone of children between the age of ten and twenty years old‚ and the occurrence is slightly more in male than female (Iwamoto‚ 2007)

Metastasis – Cancer cell moves out from their original location to other sites Routes of Metastasis Local Seeding – distribution of shed cancer cells occurs in the local area of the primary tumor. Blood-Bourne metastasis – tumor cells enter the blood‚ which is the most common cause of cancer spread. Lymphatic spread – primary sites rich in lymphatics are

person gets infected by smoking too much also people who are non-smokers get lung cancer. Scientist are not sure why they get lung cancer even if they never ever smoked. If its untreated‚ the growth can spread beyond the lung in a process called metastasis into nearby tissue and‚ eventually‚ into other parts of the body. Most cancers that start in the lung‚ known as primary cancers‚ are carcinomas that derive from epithelial cells. The main types of lung cancer are small-cell lung carcinoma‚ also

Considering the differences between a benign tumor and a malignant tumor‚ why might a benign tumor be easier to treat? (3 points) --The benign tumors are easier to treat because they are not cancerous and do not metastasis to other locations. Malignant tumors are cancerous and can metastasis to other parts of the body. So catching it early is really important! Benign tumors won’t spread and are just a mass of healthy looking skin. 2.
