Basil Cell Carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. It usually begins as a mole (skin melanoma) on your body; however this cancer can also begin in other areas such as your eye or intestines. This cancer is also the most dangerous type of skin cancer. If diagnosed and treated early, it is almost always curable. There are roughly 2.8 million cases of this cancer diagnosed each year Basil Cell Carcinoma begins in the deepest layer of the epidermis of the skin. The epidermis is known as the
Basal Cell Carcinoma often abbreviated as (BCC) is the most frequently appearing form of skin cancer. They are also referred to as Basal Cell Cancer. It was discovered along the way as skin cancer was being treated as different types with no specific period. The BCCs’ are uncontrolled growths that normally arise in the skin’s basal cells. These cells lie in the deepest layer of the epidermis which is the outermost layer of the skin. BCC’s are normally caused by a combination of two things; one is
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer and the most common malignancy overall with over 2 million cases diagnosed each year. It is a malignant type of skin tumor in which the cancer cells resemble basal epidermal cells. The most common locations for developing basal cell carcinomas are the head and neck areas, but they can occur on any part of the body. It is very rare that BCC metastasizes, but they are locally invasive and can cause damage to the skin, surrounding tissue
DISCUSSION CLASSIFICATION OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignancy of the liver. HCC is now the third foremost cause of cancer deaths. It is a destructive tumour that most commonly occurs in a background of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. The occurrence of HCC is most frequent in Asia and Africa. This can be attributed to the high prevalence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C which strongly influences the development of chronic liver disease and the ensuing
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is one of the head and neck cancer and it’s incidence is less than 1 per 100000 population (about 2-3%). Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are common treatment modalities for nasopharynx cancer. Nasopharynx is surrounded by critical organs such as brain stem, spinal cord, temporal lobes, eyes, middle and inner ears and parotid glands; so it is impossible to deliver high doses to the tumor. Therefore, nasopharyngeal carcinoma presented a challenge to radiotherapy and
Liver cancer is a common form of cancer that affects approximately 30,650 new individuals each year (1). The most common form of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is more predominate in men over women. Along with gender, age also is a large role in the probability of getting HCC. Generally, most of the individuals that are diagnosed with liver cancer are 45 and older, with an average age of 63 (1). Another nonmodifiable factors that can lead to HCC is ethnicity. The risk of having
Gender, Age, Race ,Poor Oral and dental hygiene, environmental or occupational inhalants (certain chemicals, wood dust, paint fumes and inhaling asbestos ) and weakened immune system. About 90% of these tumors are Squamous cell carcinomas, So named Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC). Head and neck cancers expression is usually used to describe tumors originate from the
their life. Among all types of cancer, squamous cell carcinoma is one of the skin cancer that commonly affects domestic animals. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is a type of cancer caused by neoplasms arising from the squamous epithelium of an animal regardless of species. However, this essay will only focus on this condition among felines since my chosen species is a white cat called Rosie. There are several forms of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma among felines, which are known as solar keratosis
Bruno Menezes Dr.Agapito Hepatocellular carcinoma/Liver Cancer Abstract The type of cancer in which i chose to work on is Hepatocellular carcinoma a common type of liver cancer. Liver cancer is a very serious disease just like any other type of cancer. For some years now it has been getting more dangerous as more people are affected by this cancer. It is the most common type of Cancer that comes from the liver and as well as number six on the world ranking for malignancies, as well being the third
Liver cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world. In the United States, it affects twice as many men as women; the average diagnosis age for liver cancer is 67. What different types of liver cancers exist? Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may begin as a single tumor that grows larger over time or as a group of small tumors on and inside the liver that multiply and grow. HCC is most common in people with cirrhosis (chronic liver damage) or Hepatitis, and it is the most common
2 ductal carcinoma involving the right upper quadrant of the right. The patient performs regular breast self-examination(BSE) to detect any lump before advanced symptoms manifest. Other symptoms included nipple discharge or retraction, skin changes, alteration in breast contour, lymphadenopathy, mammographic abnormality and distant metastasis. Subsequently, a core biopsy has been done to make a definitive diagnosis, confirmed that a ductal carcinoma with surrounding DCIS (Ductal carcinoma in Situ)
BMI-1 Autoantibody as a New Potential Biomarker for Cervical Carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was any correlation between elevated levels of the BMI-1 autoantibody and cervical carcinoma. In order to determine whether any correlation existed, the levels of the autoantibody BMI-1 in patients who had cervical carcinoma of varying stages and those who did not have cervical carcinoma were compared. Overexpression of BMI-1 has already been associated with certain
The most common and frequently diagnosed cancer is the squamous cell carcinoma, in women, it starts at the very start of the urethra by the bladder, and for men it may start anywhere in the cells that line the urethra of the penis. Transitional cell carcinoma is the opposite way around and is found in the end of the urethra for women (the opening of the urethra), in men it is found at the beginning of the urethra
with various routs of transmission. It is one of the most common and serious liver diseases in the world and a leading cause of death worldwide. If the infection becomes chronic the infection can lead to liver failure, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The HBV virus is transmitted through contact with contaminated blood or other body fluids such as serum, semen and salvia. The condition following the infection can either be classified as acute or chronic HBV. Acute and Chronic HBV infection Acute
Introduction Alice in Wonderland (AIWS) also known as Todd Syndrome is a disease that affects the brain, it causes the senses to be interfered with and everything seems different. Alice in Wonderland syndrome is caused by migraines and too much electricity in the body(Discovery Fit and Health Writers, WHAT IS ALICE IN WONDERLAND SYNDROME?, howstuffworks.com). John Todd named the disease after the book Alice in Wonderland written in 1865 by Lewis Carroll. Some experts say that Lewis Carroll had Alice
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is the 8th and 13th most common malignancy in the world for males and females, respectively, with the majority of malignancies of the upper aero-digestive tract being oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) (Warnakulasuriya, 2009; Scully and Bagan, 2009; Nicole et al., 2010). The highest incidence of OSCC is found in India due to the increased preponderance of habits like chewing tobacco, betel quid and areca-nut which are the most important risk factors
area is clear of any sign of the cancer cells. Another method is cryotherapy: the use of liquid nitrogen to freeze the lesion and/or tumor. However, the use of cryotherapy has a rate of recurrence of about two years. The key to curing squamous cell carcinoma is early detection before any metastasis. Conclusion Skin cancer has been overlooked for the past few decades because the medical community has been focusing more on internal cancers. But with in exponential rise in recorded cases of skin cancer
4- Black Hairy Tongue -Characterized by the elongation and hyperkeratosis of the filiform papillae, resulting in this hairlike appearance. The elongated papillae usually exhibit brown, yellow, or black pigmentation. Most patients are asymptomatic, but occasionally patients complain of irritation, gagging, or an altered taste. Patients are usually heavy smokers with poor oral hygiene and some have vitamin deficiencies, GI problems, or radiation therapy. Cures range from just brushing the tongue to
others for getting skin cancer and these people are people with blonde hair, red hair, light brown hair, freckles, fair skin, and a history of eczema. There are three types of skin cancer, but the most common types are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. These types of skin cancer often occur on parts of the skin that are regularly exposed to the sun. Melanoma, the most
Skin cancer is of three types: Basal cell cancer (BCC), Squamous cell carcinoma, and Melanomia. To begin, Basal cell cancer (BCC) is the most common of all cancers. It carries this name because it develops on the outermost layer of the epidermis. BCC is made of three types; the most common of skin cancer is Basal cell carcinoma. Basal cell carcinoma is a flesh colored (cream to pink), round, translucent tumour. Basal cell carcinoma tumors grow slowly sideways. The second type of BCC is the pigmented
