Cervical cancer originates in the cervix. The cervix is the narrow part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. It occurs when abnormal cells on the cervix grow out of control and have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies in the United States and presents between the third and fourth decades. Cervical cancer develops slowly. It starts as a precancerous condition called dysplasia (growth of abnormal cells

proto-oncogenes. They are mutations that occur in the main cells of the body that ultimately lead to the formation of cancer. A single gene mutation is all that is necessary to drive the cancer cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. As this occurs the body cells go into apoptosis; if the patient does not take the necessary steps for immediate treatment he/she will most likely die since cancer cells rapidly begin to encompass the whole body. Proto-oncogenes are a group of genes that regulate the function

The cell cycle has three different stages: Interphase‚ Mitosis and Cytokinesis. Interphase has three parts; G1‚ S and G2. During the G1 process the cell grows and prepares to synthesize DNA which means that the cell grows and make its own proteins . In G1 the cell determines

describe the routhes and mechanisms of the spread of lung cancer. Metastasis is a term referring to the process by which cancer cells spread from the primary site to a distant site characterised by increased proliferation and invasiveness of the tumour cells (Engelking & cady‚2008). It occurs in the final stage of cancer development and is least responsive to cancer treatment‚ contributing to the most common cause of death in cancer patients (Stafford‚Vaidya‚& Welch‚2008).

In 2011 about 571‚950 Americans are expected to die of cancer that number averages out to about 1‚500 people a day (cancer.org). Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in today’s society. Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and the spread of abnormal cells‚ caused by both external and internal factors (cancer.org). There is nothing a person can do to change the cells that make up the anatomy of their body; we are born with this DNA. However‚ there are precautions

My project is about lung cancer‚ which falls under the science branch of oncology. Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the lung. The uncontrolled reproduction of cells results in the formation of tumors that can block or compress airways and displace or damage normal lung tissue. This can make the lung stop functioning as it should. Most lung cancers start in the lining of the bronchi‚ or in glands below the lining of the bronchi‚ frequently in the periphery of the lungs.

Introduction Colorectal cancer‚ more commonly known as colon cancer‚ is a common form of cancer; It is the third most common type of cancer and the second most lethal. It is fairly common due to the numerous causes and contact with foreign substances. Cancer is the condition of where cells do not cease mitosis‚ and continue to duplicate in tumors. If the cancer cells do not metastasize‚ spread to other parts of the body‚ they are said to be benign. Benign tumors are not extremely harmful until they

That contributes to about Twenty-Seven percent of cancer related deaths. The amount of deaths caused by lung cancer has steadily been rising Three and a half percent
