Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells due to mutations in the proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.Unlike normal cells, cancer cells divide even when they do not receive a signal to divide and they can divide indefinitely. In addition, tumors also form as a result of mutations in the proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Proto-oncogenes are responsible for regulating the cell cycle but when there is a mutation, it leads to an oncogene, which accelerates cell growth and division. When there is a mutation in the proto-oncogenes, the genes become an oncogene. The oncogenes turn on the signal for division even when it is not suppose to, which causes the cell to continue dividing. This leads to the formation of tumors. Normal tumor suppressor genes proofread the DNA sequences and look for any abnormalities. When there is an error, they trigger apoptosis. The cancer cells send a signal to have the blood vessels come in and deliver nutrients. This is called angiogenesis and this also allows for the cancer cells to be transported to other parts of the body and this is called metastasis.

Diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer Brittany Tarin HS200 Section #2 Unit 2 Capstone Project: Pancreatic Cancer Kaplan University 4-6-10 Mr. Andre I would like to give an insight about the diagnosis you have just been diagnosed with. I hope it gives you a better understanding and helps you with the type of stage you have and if any treatment can be successful for you. I hope you can come to an option and go back to doing as you have done with your…
As you most likely know cancer is a very mysterious and deadly disease, but what is cancer really? Cancer is a disease which forms when abnormal cells divide without control. These cells are able to invade other tissues. There are over one hundred different types of cancer. Each different type of cancer is classified by the type of cell that is initially affected. Although there are many great advancements of technology to treat and prevent cancer, cancer is still the number one leading cause of…
Cancer Rebecca M. Butler COM-156 March 29th, 2015 Mrs. Gina Greco Cancer In today's society, the second leading cause of death in the United States is Cancer. Cancer is one of the scariest topics that affect thousands of Americans daily. According to "Top Five Most Dangerous Cancers In Men And Women (Infographic)" (July, 2014), the expected amount of new cases in America, to be diagnosed with Cancer in 2014 was 1,665,540 (UnityPoint Health, 2015). In addition, the predicted amount of Americans to…
developing breast cancer in women is up to 3 times higher if the mother or sister suffered before. Some breast cancers are linked to a specific genetic mutation which, incidentally, is more common in certain ethnic groups and in some families. According to statistics, the likelihood of developing breast cancer among women who have this mutation is between 80% and 90% Radiation The real truth is that these risk factors are responsible for only a fifth or sixth of cancers. 80 or 85 % of cancers are actually…
people diagnosed with cancer each year. There are two third of these people who survive after five years. 13.7 are still living with cancer. Cancer patients and care givers are prone to anxiety and depression. And they are affected psychologically, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Their psychological unmet needs are higher than their medical, financial and daily activities needs. People who had cancer and their families are also anxious and afraid that the cancer may come back even eight…
I have chosen cervical cancer as a topic for my Enquiry question. I came across various resources and link on AUT database as well as Google and have shortlisted some links which have helped me in making the assignment. After evaluating all the sources I choosed the question for my EP1 that was “how cervical is most common in India” but unfortunately, because I wasn’t aware of credible sources and links mentioned in my assignment therefore, I end up failing my EP1, and it was a big drawback for…
CANCER CAN BE AVOIDED. (COMMENT ON THIS VIEW.) Cancer is the unregulated multiplication of cells in the body. This definition applies to every different form of cancer of which there are more than 100. For each person, the development of cancer probably derives from many cellular events accumulated over time, which culminate in one or a few cells becoming transformed so that they commence to grow and multiply in an unregulated, abnormal way. Although cancer might be the world’s second dreadful disease…
status. However, with these improvements to our health and quality of life, we are also see illnesses that, due to our short lives, did not have a chance to manifest very often. Among them is cancer. Today, cancer is a hot topic for researchers around the world as more and more people become diagnosed with cancer. Because of its widespread appearance and its inevitable result—death, it is imperative that we must find a way to treat it. However, nothing is ever so simple. Currently, treatments that…
Article # 3 Breast Cancer Breast Cancer is a women’s breast that is made up of glands that make breast milk (called lobules), ducts (small tubes that carry milk from the lobules to the nipple), fatty and connective tissue, blood vessels, and lymph (pronounced limf) vessels. Most breast cancers begin in the cells that line the ducts (ductal cancer), some begin in the lobules (lobular cancer), and a small number start in other tissues. There are two main types of breast cancer. Ductal carcinoma starts…
