research paper is about neurofibromatosis‚ which is a genetically-inherited disorder in which the nerve tissue grows tumors that may cause serious damage by compressing nerves and other tissues. The disorder affects all neural cells such as the Schwann cells and melanocytes. The melanocytes function abnormally in this disease‚ resulting to disordered skin pigmentation. The tumors would be able to cause bumps under the skin‚ colored spots‚ skeletal problems‚ and other neurological problems. Neurofibromatosis

surgery is performed. For this reason‚ doctors often use a simple staging system for pancreatic cancer that divides cancers into groups based on whether or not they can be removed by surgery. * Resectable - The surgeon can remove the entire tumor. These tumors may be in the pancreas or beyond it‚ but they have not spread to the critical arteries or veins in the area. There is no evidence of any spread to areas outside of the pancreas. * Locally advanced (unresectable) - The cancer cannot be removed

tip of the 2052 probe over a distance of 6 cm. A series of 2D axial images are captured by the computer onboard and reconstructed into a 3D volume rendered image. The entire length of the rectal tumor is carefully examined. As such‚ it may be necessary to make several passes along the full length of the tumor to get all the necessary information. As the 2052 probe is a 3D probe‚ the transducer is moved

Cancer cells can grow into different parts of the body. When a malignant tumor or cancer tends to grow in the breast it’s breast cancer. Tumors in the breast tend to grow slowly; by the time a lump is large enough to feel‚ it may have been growing for about 10 years. Some tumors although grow faster and much aggressive. Breast cancer happens to mostly woman but man can get it as well. Breast cancer is the most popular cancer

Immune system: function and importance in cancer Causes and risk factors of cervical cancer The term "cancer" refers to a large group of very different diseases. They have one thing in common: the uncontrolled division of cells of an organ or tissue. These cells do not grow old and die not from spite of many changes in how healthy cells. They disguise themselves so the immune system does not recognize

controlled study was in Arak city‚ Arak‚ Iran. One hundred and thirty four patients with breast cancer were included in the study and their blood types were taken from their medical record. Analysis show that tumors come in different sizes. Breast cancer is defined as the most frequent malignant tumor‚ accounting for 30 percent of all malignancies and the second cause of mortality due to cancer among females. The mortality of this cancer mostly occurs in the peak of familial‚ social and economic activities

known as the primary tumor site. A long bone is much longer than it is wide. The best examples being the bones of the limbs: the femur and the humerus. The three areas most often affected by osteosarcoma are the lower thigh bone nearest to the knee the distal femur 48%‚ the upper bone nearest to the knee the proximal tibia 27% and the upper arm bone nearest to the shoulder the proximal humerus 15%. Other bones can be affected such as the jaw‚ the spine‚ and the pelvis 6%. Tumors found in the bones

Leading to Kidney Failure Abstract Each year hundreds of thousands of patients begin dialysis due to kidney failure. A review of diseases that cause kidney failure can help build an understanding. Glomerulonephritis‚ polycystic kidney disease and tumors are some of the many diseases that may affect the kidney. They have similarities between them in terms of symptoms and may have an association with malignancy. The epidemiology‚ pathology‚ and pathogenesis of these diseases are of importance to help

and breast cancer stem cells Within a tumor exists a subpopulation of cells that present less abnormal characteristics; however‚ there exists another type that hold the potential to recreate and expand tumor mass. The latter share similar characteristics to normal stem cells‚ which are the unlimited ability to self-renew and the ability to maintain undifferentiated. Over the course of time‚ these cells will differentiate into tumor stem cells (TSC) or tumor-initiating cells with stem-like properties

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
