What is Cancer? All living things are comprised of a variety of cells‚ such as kidney cells‚ brain cells and skin cells. Cancer develops when a particular cell mutates‚ then begins to grow and divide. Eventually‚ these cells form a mass called a malignant tumor‚ which often starts to invade surrounding tissue and organs. Super Foods It is thought that up to one third of cancer related deaths could be diet related. Many of the foods we eat today can in fact be harmful to the cells in our bodies

Cause and effect of global cancer Cancer is a leading cause of death globally. Three-quarter of cancer deaths occur in developingcountries or the third world (WHO‚ 2010). If current knowledge were put into practice‚ at least one third of cancer cases could be prevented‚ another third could be detected early‚ treated and cured; and suffering could be alleviated through palliative care for patients with advanced cancers. (WHO‚ 2009) In low- and middle-income countries‚ cancer overwhelmingly affects

uses a retractor to pull and hold two ribs far enough apart to gain access to organs such as the lungs. 2 A sternotomy‚ or median sternotomy‚ is when a vertical incision is made in the center of the chest and the sternum itself is divided. After the sternum is cut‚ a retractor is put in place to pull and hold the rib cage apart so that a surgeon may gain access to organs such as the heart or lungs. 3 Currently the leading retractor in both these categories is the Finochietto retractor. 4 Figure

Introduction Fundamentally cancer occurs from accumulated mutations in the genes which control cell proliferation and differentiation (Croce‚ 2008). Normal cells slowly and systemically replace dead ones via cell cycle consisting of growing‚ dividing‚ and dying phases‚ whereas cancer cells keep reproducing‚ and do not surrender to signals from body control (Cancer Research UK‚ 2010). Cancerous cells could invade nearby tissues‚ and even spread to other organs through lymph nodes or blood vessels

is Ovarian Cancer? Cancer of the ovary (ovarian cancer) is the ninth most common cancer in women in the U.S. with almost 22‚000 women newly diagnosed each year. Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths in women. It usually does not result in symptoms until the cancer has spread beyond the ovary. (Emma L Low‚ 2013) Ovarian cancer stems from cancerous cells of the epithelial lining of the ovary which can extend to the fallopian tubes. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI)
