Preview- It`s possible to notice, kidney (i.e., ren, or nephros) cancer includes renal (i.e., nephric) cell carcinoma (i.e., renal adenocarcinoma), which is cancer that forms in the lining of very small tubes in the kidney that filter (i.e., filtrum) the blood and remove waste products. Kidney cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the kidneys. Kidney cancer includes renal cell carcinoma (cancer that forms in the lining of very small tubes in the kidney that filter the blood and remove waste products) and renal pelvis (i.e., pelvis renalis, or ureteric pelvis) carcinoma (cancer that forms in the center of the kidney where urine collects). It also includes Wilms tumor (i.e., nephroblastoma) (i.e., neoplasm), which is a type of kidney cancer that usually develops in children under the age of 5. Kidney, one of a pair of organs in the abdomen (i.e., venter). The kidneys remove waste and extra water (i.e., aromatic water) from the blood (as urine) and help keep chemicals (such as sodium, potassium, and calcium) balanced in the body. The kidneys also make hormones that help control blood pressure and stimulate bone marrow to make red blood cells. Blood is a tissue with red blood cells, white (i.e., albicans) blood cells, platelets, and other substances suspended in fluid called plasma (i.e., blood plasma). Blood takes oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and carries away wastes. Cell is the individual unit that makes up the tissues of the body. All living things are made up of one or more cells. Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer. It begins in the lining of the renal tubules in the kidney. The renal tubules filter the blood and produce urine. Also called hypernephroma, renal cell adenocarcinoma (i.e., glandular (i.e., glandulous) cancer, or glandular carcinoma), and renal cell cancer.
- Finally, it appears that, bRCA1 is estimated to account for most female breast (i.e., mamma, or teat)/ovarian cancer families, but it can be infrequently detected in families with. BRCA1 is a gene (i.e., factor) on chromosome 17 that normally helps to suppress cell growth. A person who inherits certain mutations (changes) in a BRCA1 gene has a higher risk of getting breast, ovarian, prostate (i.e., prostata, or glandula prostatica), and other types of cancer. Ovarian, having to do with the ovaries, the female reproductive glands in which the ova (eggs) are formed. The ovaries are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus (i.e., metra, or womb). Ovarian cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the ovary (i.e., ovarium, or female gonad) (one of a pair of female reproductive glands in which the ova, or eggs, are formed). Most ovarian cancers are either ovarian epithelial carcinomas (cancer that begins in the cells on the surface (i.e., face, or facies) of the ovary) or malignant germ cell (i.e., sex cell) tumors (cancer that begins in egg cells). Breast, glandular organ located on the chest (i.e., pectus). The breast is made up of connective tissue (i.e., interstitial tissue, or supporting tissue), fat, and breast tissue that contains the glands that can make milk (i.e., strip, or lac). Also called mammary gland (i.e., glandula mammaria, or lactiferous gland).
