Stage two cancer is when the abnormal cancer cells are limited to the organ it started from and has no evidence of metastasis. Stage three cancer, is diagnosed when the cancer has invaded beyond the primary site to close lymph nodes, tissues or organs. Stage four cancer, which usually has poor prognosis, is when cancer spreads from the primary site to distant tissues, organs and lymph nodes. Many test are used determine what stage the cancer is in. Those test include: Physical exams, imaging studies,
What is a neoplasm? What is the difference between benign and malignant neoplasms? What are the two main hereditary properties of cancer? Which type of skin cancer causes more deaths than the others combined? UNCONTROLLED cell proliferation 1) abnormally HIGH rates of cell division: • the cell cycle has LOST regulatory control 2) can DETACH and INVADE other tissues.
The Lymphatic System: Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs when your body produces too many abnormal lymphocytes — a type of white blood cell. Normally, lymphocytes go through a predictable life cycle. Old lymphocytes die, and your body creates new ones to replace them. In non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, your lymphocytes don't die, but continue to grow and divide.
Then there will be a biopsy to determine between a primary and a cancer that has spread from another organ. Chemotherapy may result in tumor shrinkage, but does not prolong survival. There are many investigational drugs, but you have to fit into a very tight fit of criteria to receive these drugs. While you are waiting, your liver is not functioning at full capacity due to the tumor taking up space. It pushes against the arteries in the liver.
This means there is a problem with the body’s normal immune system response. In patients with an autoimmune disease, the immune system can’t tell the difference between harmful substances and healthy ones. The result is an overactive immune response that attacks otherwise healthy cells and tissue, leading to chronic inflammation. Lupus is diagnosed through blood test. Lupus is a tricky disease
Cells grow and divide and form new cells as the body needs them. When cells become old they die so new ones can take their place. Cancer is when old cells do not die out and new ones are made when not needed. This buildup of cells causes tumors which most likely form into cancer. However there are usually only two different types of tumors when it comes to the stomach, one is a benign tumor which is usually not cancerous and the other is the malignant tumor which is the cancerous tumor.
Squamous cell carcinomas can look like basal cell cancers, but it is usually more scaly and rough. Squamous cell carcinoma may be more aggressive than basal cell carcinoma and is also more likely to grow deep into the skin and spread to other parts of the body. My mom had a squamous cell carcinoma removed from the side of her nose and is now fine. The third type of skin cancer is Melanoma. Malignant melanoma is less common than basal or squamous cell carcinoma, but it is more
Sample of cells from cervix xxviii. Recognize the high risk of varieties of HPV IX. Treatments and Medication V. Salicylic acid xxix. removes layers of a wart xxx. NOT for genital warts W. Imiquimod ( Aldara, Zyclara) xxxi.
This kind of cancer has symptoms which often look like open sores, red patches, pink growths, shiny bumps, or scars, and often commonly appear on the face or scalp. Basil Cell Carcinoma is a slow growing cancer with some common sites of metastasis; these are lymph nodes, lungs, and bones. My husband’s cancer spread from his forehead to his eye which destroyed the optic nerve so he ended up having to loose his left eye, it also ate through the first and second layer of his skull so during the first surgery a titanium plate was places in his forehead which protects his brain. Tumors that typically appear are on the sun exposed parts of the skin, and often on hair-bearing areas. BCC affects up to two million Americans each year.
I already knew that it was a disease that had to do with memory loss, but to answer anything I need to first look the base of everything, Alzheimer’s disease. A German physician named Alois Alzheimer first discovered Alzheimer’s in a suffering patient named Auguste D in 1906. Alzheimer’s is known to be a progressive and fatal brain disease that destroys brain cells which explains the memory loss and other behavior that comes with it. These cells are killed by things called plaques and tangles. Plaques and tangles are believed to block communications to nerve cells which result in them dying.
