spiritual crises. BONE CANCER Bone cancer is a malignant (cancerous) tumor of the bone that destroys normal bone tissue. Not all bone tumors are malignant. In fact‚ benign (noncancerous) bone tumors are more common than malignant ones. Both malignant and benign bone tumors may grow and compress healthy bone tissue‚ but benign tumors do not spread‚ do not destroy bone tissue‚ and are rarely a threat to life. Malignant tumors that begin in bone tissue are called primary bone cancer. Cancer that metastasizes

Whether cancer has spread to other body parts. Stage 0: cancer is described as non-invasive‚ no evidence of cancer. Stage 1: is described as invasive. Divided into subcategories. 1A -tumor is measured up to 2 cm -cancer hasn’t spread outside the breast and no lymph nodes are cancerous. 1B -no tumor. Instead small groups of cancer cells. -no larger than millimeters

chemical that normally inhibits prolactin secretion‚ doctors may treat prolactinoma with the dopamine agonists bromocriptine (Parlodel) or cabergoline (Dostinex). Agonists are drugs that act like a naturally occurring substance. These drugs shrink the tumor and return prolactin levels to normal in approximately 80 percent of patients. Both drugs have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia. Bromocriptine is the only dopamine agonist approved for the

is no clear indication what causes cancer. One type of cancer common in dogs is mast cell tumors. Mast cell tumors can occur at any age and most commonly occur in the superficial layers of the skin‚ but can also occur in the spleen‚ liver‚ and bone marrow. Certain breeds of dogs are more inclined to be affected by this disease – thought to be a genetic trait. Breeds that can become victims to mast cell tumors are Boxers‚ Bulldogs‚ Beagles‚ English Setters‚ and Golden and Labrador Retrievers. Boxers

Physical changes have a bigger impact on the brain than chemical changes. Some injuries to change the brain include concussions‚ tumors‚ assault‚ lobotomies‚ and accidents.

conducted by Nelson et al82 & Quinn et al83 respectively. In present study‚38% of CaPs showed perineural invasion. Studies having more number of well differentiated tumors have low percentages of evidence of PNI while studies with more number of high grade tumors have high percentages of evidence of PNI. We had 39 cases of high grade tumors‚ so 38% of cases showing PNI was attributable to this reason. 7.Presence of adjacent PIN. Table 6.7: Percentage of cases showing presence of adjacent PIN

properties of tumor cells: 1) Deregulated clonal cell growth- all cells in a tumor originated from one single cell that acquired mutations that made it deregulated cancer cells are constantly testing different mutations so they are constantly changing 2) Impaired cellular differentiation - cancer cells have lost the ability to differentiate. Cells stop growing once they differentiate so cancer cells can’t differentiate therefore they keep growing 3) Invasiveness -benign tumor are localized

fairly rare one. Primary bone cancer (tumor) - these can be divided into benign tumors - which can have a neoplastic (abnormal tissue growth)‚ developmental‚ traumatic‚ infectious‚ or inflammatory cause - and cancers. Examples of benign bone tumors include - osteoma‚ osteoid osteoma‚ osteochondroma‚ osteoblastoma‚ enchondroma‚ giant cell tumor of bone‚ aneurysmal bone cyst‚ and fibrous dysplasia of bone. Examples of malignant primary bone tumors include: osteosarcoma‚ chondrosarcoma‚ Ewing’s

of a larger class of diseases known as neoplasms. There are two forms of a neoplasm: benign or malignant. A benign neoplasm is encapsulated‚ or surrounded‚ so that it ’s growth is restricted‚ whereas a malignant neoplasm is not closed in. Malignant tumors grow much more quickly than benign forms and spread into the surrounding normal tissue‚ and virtually destroy it‚ (Grolier Electronic Encyclopedia‚ Cancer). The question is‚ what exactly is cancer? Cancer‚ is the break down and mutation of the cells
