Cancer Cell Growth - 616 Words

Cancer is a group of 200 or more diseases of controlled cell growth. The treatment of cancer can be very difficult process. Breast Cancer is most prevalent form of cancer among women and second leading cause of death. From a clinical standpoint radiation chemotherapy not only made strides in preventing the reoccurrence in cancer but also has some side effects that needed to be treated in order for a women to return to a healthy lifestyle. For example chemotherapy cause substantial weight loss, diaria, vomiting, anorexia and nausea after chemotherapy. The person may develop anemia, skin disorders, be sun sensitivity and become more vulnerable to every day common infections. The person will most likely lose their hair and substantially loss†¦show more content†¦There has been a growing trend for finding a more natural and less server alternative treatments for the prevention and reoccurrence of cancer. From the American association of cancer research according to Dr. Jim Gutma n glutathione levels demish the risk of cancer from reoccurring by serving as a powerful anti oxidant and boosting the persons natural immune system (1). It also protects future cell damage. Glutathione is found in food and is in its highest concentration in raspberries, blueberries, avocado’s and bananas. Theses foods need to be a part of regular part of their diet. Glutathione can be bought as a supplement. Acupuncture is another treatment that was tried in a clinical trial in a small number has been shown to decrease nausea; vomiting and inflammation with breast cancer (). Anything that reduces the production of stress related chemicals and increases the body’s natural response to damage cells such as for example regular exercise, laughter, positive attitude, strong family support structure have been found to produce high levels of dopamine which reduces breast cancer reoccurrence by 25% according to A.P John Cancer Institute for Cancer Research.

Ovarian cancer is the abnormal growth of malignant cells in the ovaries, the egg (ovum) producing part of the female reproductive system. Often, Ovarian cancer goes undetected until it has metastasized (spread) to the pelvis and abdomen. At this late stage, this cancer is difficult to treat. Ovarian Cancer ranks as the 11th most common cancer among women, and it is the 5th leading cause of cancer-related death for women.

Researchers are getting closer and closer to a cure, they are exploring other options to treat cancer. Stem cells are relatively new to the medical world, making their first appearance in 1956 (†Timeline for Stem Cell Research†, 1), and as with everything, there are flaws. Despite these flaws, stem cell treatment is something more people are turning to, asRead MoreCancer Results From Abnormal, Unregulated Cell Growth2141 Words   |  9 PagesBACKGROUND Cancer results from abnormal, unregulated cell growth which can create physiological impairments in body tissues (1). Two adverse characteristics of cancer cells include the ability to invade other tissues and the inability to die (2). Cells generally become cancerous due to changes in gene expression and subsequent errors in protein function (2). These faults in genes and physiology can be caused by mutations which can result from exposure to carcinogens. One of the most common substancesRead MoreCancer Is The Uncontrolled Growth Of Cells, And Is A Major Cause Of Death Throughout The World964 Words   |  4 PagesCancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells, and is a major cause of death throughout the world. The development of cancer chemotherapeutics began in the 1940s [Shewach, D. and Kuchta, R, 2009] and very early drugs were based on nitrogen mustards, agents similar to mustard gas. Sulphur mustard gas was used as chemical warfare in World War I (WWI), and this led to new appro aches for cancer therapeutics. These traditional chemotherapeutic compounds however, can attack cell division in a cancerous, asRead MoreResearch Problem Lung cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in the lungs. This abnormal growth can900 Words   |  4 PagesLung cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in the lungs. This abnormal growth can occur in either one of both of the lungs. The abnormal cells cause the development of unhealthy lung tissue, which causes the lungs to not function properly. The main function of the lungs is to provide oxygen to the body via the blood. Some of the symptoms of lung cancer are a persistent cough, shortness of breath, recurrent pneumonia, change in sputum, and coughing up blood (What is Lung,).

As of current, there is a lack of viable in vitro models that accurately model ovarian cancer tumor metastasis and growth. The purpose of this research is to develop a viable 3D hydrogel that enables the ovarian cancer cell environment to be effectively modeledRead MoreThe Theory Of Cancer Stem Cell Theory991 Words   |  4 Pagestheories about how cancer grows to form tumors. The cancer stem cell theory states that tumors are like normal cells because stem cells control their growth (Blanpain, 2015). However the contradicting theory is the stochastic model in which all cells have the ability to grow and divide, so the cells that make up a tumor are not organized in any sort of system. I take the stance that tumors are grown through an organized system and that cancer stem cells are at the center of the growth of a tumor insteadRead MoreCancer : An Uncontrollable Division Of Cells14 67 Words   |  6 PagesINTRODUCTION TO CANCER What is Cancer? Cancer is described as an uncontrollable division of cells. According to the National Cancer Institute, cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, with an estimated 595,690 deaths and 1,685,210 new cases in 2016 alone (NIH 2015). Cancer can develop from almost every organ of the body, with the most common organs affected being the breasts, lungs, prostate, colon, and bladder (NIH 2015). As the disease progresses, it may become metastatic, where
