L is a measure of volume for a liquid, using the metric system. One L is equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters (cc), 1,000 milliliters (mm), or 1.0567 quarts (qt). Also called liter. Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- One can conclude that, methods and Results 1 PB-LY effects the proliferation of cancer cells. In a series of experiments, seven tumorigenic human cells, including human cervical cancer cell Hela, human ovarian carcinoma cell SKOV3, human lung adenocacinoma cell A549, human stomach carcinoma cell BGC-823, human leukemia cell. K562, human breast adenocarcinoma cell MCF-7 and human osteosarcoma cell HOS were. Leukemia, cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of blood cells to be produced and enter the bloodstream. Osteosarcoma is a cancer of the bone that usually affects the large bones of the arm or leg. It occurs most commonly in young people and affects more males than females. Also called osteogenic sarcoma. Cervical cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the cervix (the organ connecting the uterus and vagina). It is usually a slow-growing cancer that may not have symptoms but can be found with regular Pap tests (a procedure in which cells are scraped from the cervix and looked at under a microscope). Cervical cancer is almost always caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Breast, glandular organ located on the chest. The breast is made up of connective tissue, fat, and breast tissue that contains the glands that can make milk. Also called mammary gland. Lung, one of a pair of organs in the chest that supplies the body with oxygen, and removes carbon dioxide from the body. Adenocarcinoma, cancer that begins in cells that line certain internal organs and that have gland-like (secretory) properties. 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. Cervical, relating to the neck, or to the neck of any organ or structure. Cervical lymph nodes are located in the neck. Cervical cancer refers to cancer of the uterine cervix, which is the lower, narrow end (the neck ) of the uterus. Stomach is an organ that is part of the digestive system. The stomach helps digest food by mixing it with digestive juices and churning it into a thin liquid. Carcinoma, cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
- It is often discovered that, in other words, a totally new cancer, generally unrelated to the first although in some cases it may be related to a common genetic link or even to the treatment that we offered for the original cancer. Certainly, having a family history of cancer puts an individual at increase risk especially if they have identified mutation in cancer causing genes and there are several of those genes that have been identified such as for breast cancer. Mutation, any change in the DNA sequence of a cell. Mutations may be caused by mistakes during cell division, or they may be caused by exposure to DNA-damaging agents in the environment. Mutations can be harmful, beneficial, or have no effect. If they occur in cells that make eggs or sperm, they can be inherited; if mutations occur in other types of cells, they are not inherited. Certain mutations may lead to cancer or other diseases. Breast cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare. Genetic, inherited; having to do with information that is passed from parents to offspring through genes in sperm and egg cells. Family history is a record of the relationships among family members along with their medical histories. This includes current and past illnesses. A family history may show a pattern of certain diseases in a family. Also called family medical history.
- You can notice, I think probably a lot of the men in the room are familiar that African-American men are at higher risk of developing prostate cancer. Hispanic women are at higher risk of cervical cancer. Ashkenazi Jewish women are at higher risk of breast cancers. Prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system. The prostate surrounds the part of the urethra (the tube that empties the bladder) just below the bladder, and produces a fluid that forms part of the semen. Prostate cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the prostate (a gland in the male reproductive system found below the bladder and in front of the rectum). Prostate cancer usually occurs in older men.
