A. Disease/Disorder Pancreatic Cancer B. Background Info Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of your pancreas — an organ in your abdomen that lies horizontally behind the lower part of your stomach. Your pancreas secretes enzymes that aid digestion and hormones that help regulate the metabolism of sugars. Pancreatic cancer often has a poor prognosis‚ even when diagnosed early. Pancreatic cancer typically spreads rapidly and is seldom detected in its early stages‚ which is a major reason

been a significant decline in mortality from breast cancer since the 1970s‚ this decline is linked with the fact that there is more availability of screening methods‚ mainly mammography‚ and there is a drastic improvement in the way advanced cancer is treated (Smith et al.‚ 2008). Dr. David Eddy‚ an early pioneer in evidence-based medicine conducted a study for the American Cancer Society (ACS) to develop recommendations for screening for cancer which was later reviewed by him and published by ACS

My field of interest is human genetics and related disorders. I want to study aging as a potent carcinogen using yeast as a model. Aging is indeed a potent carcinogen. Somatic mutation theory states that cancer is a genetic disease.It is so because cancer cells proliferate at a rapid pace as a result of mutations in their genes they have accumulated in themselves over the course of their lifetime. Hence the key points are Aging and Genetic instabilities that follows with it. I want to study yeast

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

breast cancer. For example‚ breast cancer can begin in different areas of the breast like the ducts‚ the lobules‚ or in some cases‚ the tissue in between. In this essay I will explain the different types of breast cancer. I will also talk about the symptoms many women have when they get breast cancer. Then I will explain the treatments for breast cancer‚ and the alternative treatments. First of all‚ there are two main types of breast cancer invasive‚ and non-invasive‚ which means if the cancer is
