When a patient has a poor
More than 12 million people are infected in the U.S., while another 12 million people are believed to have the disease but remain undiagnosed. COPD also ranks as the third leading cause of death In the U.S. and is a major cause serious long-term disability. In most cases symptoms of COPD do not appear until substantial lung damage has occurred. People with COPD are also likely to experience
Jacky Huang Medical Report 10/18/11 1)Cause of Deficiency Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth, and lung cancer occurs when this uncontrolled cell growth begins in one or both lungs. Rather than developing into healthy, normal lung tissue, these abnormal cells continue dividing and form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors. Tumors interfere with the main function of the lung, which is to provide the bloodstream with oxygen to be carried to the entire body. Most lung cancers are the result of inhaling carcinogenic substances. Carcinogens are a class of substances that are directly responsible for damaging DNA, promoting or aiding cancer.
Cancer and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Cancer, when someone is diagnosed or knows someone who is diagnosed a wide range of thoughts and emotions race through their mind. There are many different types of cancers that can afflict almost anywhere in the body. Still many ask what exactly is cancer and what makes it so dangerous.

Cervical cancer most commonly begins in the squamous cells on the surface of the cervix. It sometimes begins with a condition known as dysplasia. This is a pre-cancerous condition that can be found early with a routine pap smear and it can be treated completely. Ovarian cancer causes more deaths among women today than all the other reproductive system cancers. It is the fifth most common cancer in women today.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Christopher Lanenga Kendra Tillis Mandy Duea Marna Nersesian Michael Eiden HCS 330 October 4, 2010 Sheela Hirao Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Although many have heard of the destruction smoking and nicotine can do, much only associate lung cancer with this deadly habit; however, a more common disease can develop. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the most frequent form of lung disease, which typically develops after long-term exposure to irritants that damage the lungs and the airways. COPD breaks down into two forms, which are chronic bronchitis, a long-term cough with mucous, and emphysema, defined as a destruction of the lungs over time. In the United States, approximately
Before I talk about the direct policy on smoking, I thought I would share some facts about tobacco. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among both men and women in the United States. Smoking-related deaths/health issues effect an estimated four hundred and thirty eight thousand American lives each year. Ninety percent of lung cancer deaths among men and eighty percent of lung cancer deaths among women are attributed to smoking. People who smoke are up to six times more likely to suffer a heart attack than nonsmokers, and the risk increases with the number of cigarettes smoked.
SCI/162 Chronic Disease: Cervical Cancer The disease that I chose to do my assessment on was cervical cancer. I chose this disease because I find it interesting and a little scary. Cervical cancer is when the cells that line the cervix develop pre-cancerous changes that turn into cancer. If abnormal cells are recognized before it turns to cancer, there are treatments that can be done such as freezing the cells and removing them. There are two types of cervical cancer squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.
Cancer is currently considered as the second leading killer in the United States of America.

There are several types of cancer, but what is definite is that they all occur as a result of cells in growing out of control in the body.
