Ovarian Cancer • Description of the disease ovarian cancer is cancer that develops in one or both ovaries--glands in females where reproductive eggs are made. Typically‚ the cancer forms on the ovary’s surface. Although many cases of ovarian cancer aren’t caught until the cancer has metastasized‚ or spread‚ outside of the ovaries‚ improvements in treatment and diagnosis have increased survival rates. Ovarian cancer comes in several varieties. The most common type‚ epithelial tumors‚ occurs on

Breast Stroke The breaststroke is a swimming style in which the swimmer is on his or her chest and the torso does not rotate. It is the most popular recreational style due to its stability and the ability to keep the head out of the water a large portion of the time. In most swimming classes‚ beginners learn either the breaststroke or the front crawl first. Since the breaststroke can be swum with the eyes almost always above water‚ it is important in lifesaving‚ as it allows the rescuer to approach

OVARIAN CANCER Ovarian Cancer Overview Ovarian cancer occurs when a cancerous tumor is in a woman’s ovary. In most cases‚ there are no known causes. There are often no symptoms‚ but ovarian cancer warning signs include ongoing pain or cramps in the belly or back‚ abnormal vaginal bleeding‚ and nausea and bloating. Depending on the cancer stage‚ ovarian cancer treatment includes surgery and chemotherapy. SYMPTOMS: In some cases‚ ovarian cancer may cause early symptoms. The most common symptoms

Genetic Discrimination The fear of genetic discrimination is a phobia gripping many people around the world. People find themselves asking‚ could my genetic information raise my health bills? Could this cause me to be rejected from a job opportunity? These anxieties are causing people to lash out at genetic research‚ and ultimately the human genome project. People do not want our understanding of human genomics to advance. This is because the risks of the development of the technology could inflict

to another. This is called “genetic engineering.” Genetic engineering also refers to the artificial modification of the genetic code of any living organism. Genetic engineering changes the original physical nature of the organism‚ sometimes in ways that would never occur in nature. Genes from one organism are inserted in another organism‚ most often across natural species boundaries. Some of the effects become known‚ but most do not. There are some examples of genetic engineering that have created

Breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer among American women. One in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime. Two organizations that are prominent in the fight for a cure are; The National Breast Cancer Foundation and Susan G. Komen foundation.
