complex and is very interesting. Many different natural elements are used in oncology such as Gold‚ Platinum‚ Silver‚ Iridium‚ and Ruthenium. Gold is one of the most useful elements in oncology. Gold is used to bind drugs and deliver them‚ it reduces tumor mass‚ and is not dangerous to ingest. First of all‚ gold is used to bind drugs‚ and deliver them. Gold nanoparticles are non-toxic which allows for them to be safely ingested. You can bind drugs‚ or treatments for cancer onto these gold nanoparticles

uncontrolled growth of cells. Any collection of abnormal cells is known as a tumor. There are basically two types of tumors. The first is called a benign tumor. This tumor consists of cells that do not spread beyond their initial location. The other type of tumor is called a malignant tumor. A tumor is considered to be malignant when the cells spread or metastasize to other areas of the body. Cancer is diagnosed when the tumor is found to be malignant and can spread to other areas of the body. Although

studies revealed that the proteasome was important in the activation of NF-κB [11] implicated as one of the mechanisms of tumor cell resistance to apoptosis. Based on these observations‚ in August 1994‚ Julian Adams examined bortezomib as a possible anti-cancer molecular targeting agent. By 1997‚ it was also shown that bortezomib could have potential influence on inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis in a mouse model of lung cancer [12].

It painlessly delivers radiation through the skin from a machine outside the body. Protons‚ however‚ can target the tumor with lower radiation doses to surrounding normal tissues approximately 60% lower‚ depending on the location of the tumor. Traditional radiation treatment can damage the tissue around the tumor. However‚ with proton therapy‚ the protons’ energy hits the tumor site‚ delivering a smaller dose to surrounding healthy tissue. With standard treatment‚ doctors may need to reduce the

tissue‚ known as a tumor‚ may be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not cancerous and may even be completely harmless. Most of the time these can be surgically removed and do not grow back. The cells of benign tumors don ’t spread to other parts of the body and do not threaten your life. Malignant tumors‚ on the other hand‚ are cancerous. These tumors can enter and damage surrounding tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also break away from malignant tumors and get in either

resection‚ the average survival time for the patient is only 12-20 months (Brouda‚ 2010). Once a patient has been deemed with a resectable tumor‚ the type of surgery they will undergo will depend on the location of the tumor (Gall‚ Tsakok‚ Wasan & Jiao‚ 2015). A tumor located in the uncinated process or right of the SMV in the pancreatic head‚ which is about 60% of the tumors‚ are potentially suitable for a Whipple procedure‚ otherwise known as a pancreaticoduodenectomy

Hippocrates kwam tot de conclusie dat de ziekte “kanker” kwam dat de bloedvaten op een uitwendige tumor leken‚ en dat de vorm van de tumor op het eerste gezicht op de poten van een krab leek en daar de naam “krab” daaraan te danken heeft.
