INTRODUCTION

In this modern world we are all aware of the plethora of diseases and conditions that human beings can develop, contract, and suffer from that carries a potentially terminal outcome. Humanity has come quite far in its ability to recognize and treat many conditions improving the prognosis and lessening the lethal factors associated. However, there are still many conditions that are a mystery in many ways to science and others that are completely understandable, but cannot be cured. Cancer is one such disease. Cancer is the term used for a single condition that can affect just about any part Continue reading...

Introduction

Life-threatening illnesses such as cancer can plague family relations, community structure, and spiritual or religious beliefs; however these support groups can also positively affect the individual cancer patient. Upon being diagnoses, cancer patients commonly experience symptoms of fear, questioning “why me?”, a sense of helplessness and/or hopelessness, imminent possibility of death, challenges to core beliefs and/or assumptions, future uncertainty, changes in interpersonal dynamics and relationships, and of course, reactions to painful and invasive medical treatments (Lindop & Cannon, 2001; Denney, Aten, & Leavell, 2010). However, in the face of this adversity, there is also immense opportunity for personal growth and resultant Continue reading...

Introduction

Laryngeal cancer is cancer of the larynx (voice box, vocal cords, or other areas of the throat. Laryngeal carcinoma is the second most common malignancy of the neck and head and the eleventh most common form of cancer among men over the world (Chu and Kim, 2008). The larynx is responsible for the respiration, phonation, and deglutition while it also contributes to smell and taste by allowing the air to move over the special sense organs. Therefore, loss of laryngeal function directly affects swallowing and speech (Chu and Kim, 2008).
In 2011, there were more than 89,000 people Continue reading...

Background on Testicular cancer

Testicular cancer is a relatively rare type of cancer seen in young men (ages 20-39 years) with risk factors for developing this type of cancer. Testicular cancer only occurs in 1 percent of men. The testicles (also known as testes or gonads) are a pair of male sex glands. In the early stages of the disease there may be a small, hard, usually painless lump in the testicles. Fortunately most lumps in the testicles will not be cancerous. The patient may experience a swelling in the testicle or a loss in sensation. Other symptoms include enlargement of the testicle Continue reading...

Overview of Cancer

Cancer is a multifactorial and very complex disease that affects various organ systems of the human body and afflicts millions of people worldwide. There are hundreds of specific cancer types and are usually grouped together by the tissue of origin. There is no single cause of cancer, although several risk factors may make a person more likely to develop this condition. Cancer may be caused by interplay among a multitude of exogenous carcinogens which may be physical, biological or chemical, and various endogenous biological processes within cells. Some characteristics of human cancers include rapid and unregulated cell proliferation, reduced Continue reading...

Definition

Breast cancer is a malignancy involving cells in the breast (National Cancer Institute 2014). Weir, Day & Ali (2007: 67) found that risk factors include a past history of the disease, increased breast density, benign or precursor lesions, heavy alcohol consumption, post-menopausal obesity, nulliparity, hormone replacement, current or prior use of oral contraceptives, high calorie intake, and early menarche. Family history, radiation therapy to the chest, and night shift work are also implicated (CDC 2014). Early diagnosis and effective treatment positively influence prognosis as five-year survival is shown to decrease with the progression of breast cancer (American Cancer Society 2014).

Introduction
The human body is an intricately interlinked organism. Every system of the body has a role to play in the well being of the other. The most prevalent disease of the modern age is cancer, and there has been considerable effort to determine the causes of cancer. Substantial research in this regard point to stress being one of the leading causes of cancer.

The Impact of Stress on Cancer

Cancer, medically called ‘tumorigenesis’ (Thaker, Lutgendorf, & Sood, 2007, p.430) occurs when cells in the body orient themselves for malignant growth. Such cells show ‘self-sufficiency in growth signals’, are ‘insensitive to anti-growth signals’ and have ‘limitless Continue reading...

Methods of early detection

Methods of early detection are also called screening and are not available to investigate uterine cancer in women. They have to wait until symptoms appear. The most common symptom among 90 percent of women is abnormal vaginal bleeding. Excessive bleeding occurs post-menopause. Though these symptoms do not always indicate cancer; but, it is highly recommended to consult a doctor when these signs show up. Symptoms of spotting or discharge are common in endometrial cancer accompanied by tremendous pain in pelvis. Usually, women at post-menopausal age are at moderate endometrial cancer risk. Women must talk to their doctors and get Continue reading...

Introduction

Experimental and epidemiological researches have pointed that diet and environmental factors significantly determines the likelihood of tumors or human cancer. Even though the genetic history of people may influence the chance of neoplastic disease, it is still not the prevailing value in the preponderance of circumstances. Awareness has to be agreed to daily diet with chemo-preventive actions to diminish the risk of cancer. Studies have shown that alcohol consumption is associated with death from cancer. The relation of the risk to mortality reduces for moderate drinkers in contrast to nondrinkers and then amplifies with elevated alcohol drinking.

Introduction

The Transcription elongation factor B, polypeptide 1 is a protein variant that in the species Homo sapiens is encoded by the TCEB1 gene also referred to as SIII or eloC (National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), 2015, sec. 1). Structurally, the SIII Complex is a heterotrimeric compound composed of three elongins sub-units – elongins A and A2 (110kD), B (18kD), and C (kD). However, further analysis divulges that elongin C protein is a subunit of the transcription factor B framework (otherwise referred to as elongin SIII complex) (GeneCards, 2014, sec. 1). Functionally, the SIII compound purpose is the activation of Continue reading...

Chemotherapy and radiation treatment are two common treatment options, used for cancer. The choice of treatment is made considering the type of cancer, stage of diagnosis and overall health of the patient.
Chemotherapy refers to use of cytotoxic antineoplastic drugs to destroy or reduce the multiplication of cancerous cell. These drugs target the DNA or the enzymes of cancer cells that have fast multiplication rate. However in the process of killing the cancerous cell, the drug can also kill other cells in the body that have fast multiplication rate, like the healthy cells seen in: gastrointestinal epithelium, bone marrow, Continue reading...
