3. BIBLIOGRAPHYWhat is cancer?
 
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells anywhere in a
body. These abnormal cells are termed cancer cells, malignant cells,
or tumor cells. These cells can infiltrate normal body tissues. Many
cancers and the abnormal cells that compose the cancer tissue are
further identified by the name of the tissue that the abnormal cells
originated from (for example, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal
cancer). Cancer is not confined to humans; animals and other living
organisms can get cancer. Below is a schematic that shows normal
cell division and how when a cell is damaged or altered without
repair to its system, the cell usually dies. Also shown is what occurs
when such damaged or unrepaired cells do not die and become
cancer cells and show uncontrolled division and growth -- a mass of
cancer cells develop. Frequently, cancer cells can break away from
this original mass of cells, travel through the blood and lymph
systems, and lodge in other organs where they can again repeat the
uncontrolled growth cycle. This process of cancer cells leaving an
area and growing in another body area is termed metastatic spread
or metastasis. For example, if breast cancer cells spread to a bone, it
means that the individual has metastatic breast cancer to bone. This
is not the same as "bone cancer," which would mean the cancer had
started in the bone.Some examples of common cancers
Breast cancer:
 
(© Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts in
: the breast. Cancer starts when cells begin to
of © grow out of con Breast cancer cells usually
form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-
ray or felt as a lump. Breast cancer occurs
almost entirely in women, but men can get
breast cancer, too.
 
Lung cancer (including bronchus):
Lung cancer is the second most common.
cancer in American men and women. It's also
the leading cause of cancer-related deaths
for both American men and women. One in
every four cancer-related deaths is from lung
cancer. Cigarette smoking is the leading
cause of lung cancer. Men who smoke are 23
times more likely to develop lung cancer. Women who smoke are 13
times more likely, both when compared with nonsmokers.Prostate cancer:.
Prostate cancer is a serious disease that affects thousands of men
each year who are middle-aged or older. About 60 percent of the
cases occur in men older than age 65. The American Cancer Society
 
  
imates that 174,650 American men will
be newly diagnosed with this condition in 2019. The prostate is a
small gland found in a man’s lower abdomen. It's located under the
bladder and surrounding the urethra. The prostate is regulated by
the hormone testosterone and produces seminal fluid, also known as
semen. Semen is the substance containing sperm that exits the
urethra during ejaculation.
 
 
Thyroid cancer:
Thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the
lower front part of your neck. The hormones it
makes are carried throughout your body to
help regulate heat and energy.
 
Anaplastic thyroid cancer is one of four types
of thyroid cancer. It’s very rare: The American
Thyroid Association notes that this type represents less than 2
percent of all cases of thyroid cancer. It metastasizes, or spreads,
quickly to other organs. It’s one of the mostTrusted Source
aggressive cancers in humans.Symptoms and signs:
Symptoms and signs of cancer depend on the type of cancer, where it
is located, and/or where the cancer cells have spread. For example,
breast cancer may present as a lump in the breast or as nipple
discharge while metastatic breast cancer may present with
symptoms of pain (if spread to bones), extreme fatigue (lungs), or
seizures (brain). A few patients show no signs or symptoms until the
cancer is far advanced.
The American Cancer Society describes seven warning signs and/or
symptoms that a cancer may be present, and which should prompt a
person to seek medical attention. The word
 
CAUTION can help you remember these.
+ Change in bowel or bladder habits
+ Asore throat that does not heal

+ Unusual bleeding or discharge (for example, nipple secretions or
a sore" that will not heal that oozes material)Thickening or lump in the breast, testicles, or elsewhere
Indigestion (usually chronic) or difficulty swallowing
   
Obvious change in the size, color,
or mole
 
shape, or thickness of a wart
Nagging cough or hoarseness
 
Other signs or symptoms may also alert you or your doctor to the
possibility of your having some form of cancer. These include the
following:
 
Unexplained loss of weight or loss of appetite
A new type of pain in the bones or other parts of the body that
may be steadily worsening, or come and go, but is unlike
previous pains one has had before
Persistent fatigue, nausea, or vomiting,
Unexplained low-grade fevers with may be either persistent or
come and go

There are many types of cancer treatment. The types of treatment
that you receive will depend on the type of cancer you have and how
advanced itis.
Some people with cancer will have only one treatment, But most
people have a combination of treatments, such as surgery with
chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. When you need treatment
for cancer, you have a lot to learn and think about. It is normal to feel
overwhelmed and confused. But, talking with your doctor and
learning about the types of treatment you may have can help you
feel more in control. Our Questions to Ask Your Doctor About
Treatment may help.

TARGETED
THERAPY© Surgery. The goal of surgery is to remove the cancer or as
much of the cancer as possible.
 
Chemotherapy, Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells.
Radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high-powered
energy beams, such as X-rays or protons, to kill cancer cells.
Radiation treatment can come from a machine outside your
body (brachytherapy).
Bone marrow transplant. Your bone marrow is the material
inside your bones that makes blood cells from blood stem
cells. A bone marrow transplant, also knowns as a stem cell
transplant, can use your own bone marrow stem cells or those
from a donor.A bone marrow transplant allows your doctor to
use higher doses of chemotherapy to treat your cancer. It may
also be used to replace diseased bone marrowBibliography
