Bone Marrow Transplantation, or BMT is a procedure that is undertaken to introduce healthy bone marrow stem cells as a replacement for the damaged bone marrow. The soft fatty tissue inside the bone is termed as bone marrow. New blood cells are created from certain immature cells that reside in the bone marrow, and these immature cells are known as stem cells.When does Bone Marrow Transplantation become necessary?Diseases...

Sodium and Stomach CancerIn a study by the World Cancer Research Fund, it was found that 14 percent, (or in other words one in seven) of cases of stomach cancer could be prevented by watching sodium levels. I don't know about you, but considering this new information and also sodium's impact on blood pressure numbers, I think it's worth the effort to start learning what foods have higher levels of sodium and how to keep those...

In order to understand pancreatic cancer symptoms, first you must understand what the pancreas is and what function it performs. Located in front of the spine, in the abdomen and at a level just above the belly button, the pancreas is an organ that performs two jobs; it makes the enzymes that help to break down proteins and makes the hormone insulin, which regulates the levels of sugar in the blood. The enzymes that the pancreas...

It is hard to keep one's perspective. Having to go to a multitude of doctors twice a year; having up to 5 MRIs; and being under general anasthetics at least once every 18 months make the family suffer. As it was explained to me ten years ago, if my body does not have the genetic protection against cancer, I will have constant internal growths of haratomas. 4 cancers later, I still consider myself lucky as I am an innate optimist....

Organ specific cancer treatmentsCertain advanced cancer hospitals manage cancer in an organ specific way, and accordingly oncologists are reserved for treating cancers affecting specific organs only. Accordingly, oncologists have successfully treated breast cancer, head and neck cancer, gynecological cancer, orthopedic cancer, lung cancer, neuro cancer, and liver cancer.Understanding each organ specific cancer and the treatment...

Epigenetics involves the study of external factors that affect the genome and gene expression without altering the base sequence. It involves the relationship between base methylation patterns and histones. Methylation causes DNA to wrap tightly around the histone complex. This hides this DNA from the transcription process, thus silencing the gene. Active and silent genes are defined by the function of the cell as cells become...

Translational research involves managing the ultimate results of studies carried out the laboratory and making use of it within the clinic when it comes to improving the discovery, healing and guarding against diseases. Fundamentally, it is definitely too close the disparity between researches done in the clinic and completed in the laboratory. It could be the effective use of laboratory studies in clinical setting where...

Chemotherapy can increase cancer growth by damaging the DNA of nearby healthy cells. Researchers found "evidence of DNA damage" in healthy cells after chemotherapy treatment. Scientists recently published this report in Nature Medicine.Cancer cells metabolize sugar differently than do healthy cells. Cancer cells cannot absorb oxygen like healthy cells and it is this low oxygen level that proves to be the key factor in cancer...

The epigenome is an extension of the genome. Epigenetic mechanisms cause specific genes in certain cells to become inaccessible, thus causing these genes to be silenced. Cells become increasingly specialized, or differentiated, into a specialized cell during development. For example, liver cells and lung cells carry the same DNA. However, only certain genes are active in liver cells while other genes are active in lung cells....

When somebody is diagnosed with cancer they tend to abandon all common sense and summit to our orthodox medical treatments because of blind faith.
