Cancer cells grow and proliferate endlessly. Targeted therapy to stimulate cell death or apoptosis can help keep tumors in check. Normal cells have a finite cell cycle of growth, division and differentiation. The final stage in the cell cycle is apoptosi
Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells. These cells grow and divide in ways that are healthy and necessary. In the case of cancer, this normal, healthy process of cell division malfunctions, leading to disease and sometimes even death....
Yes, you are in some sense a giant walking virus… (Humanity has been compared to a cancer on the earth, so a virus may actually be an improvement) – but that’s not all. In his talk at TED2012, researcher and jungle genome operative Nathan Wolfe makes the point that until 1898, ...
Cancer can start any place in the body. It starts when cells grow out of control and crowd out normal cells. This makes it hard for the body to work the way it should. Cancer can be treated very well for many people. In fact, more people than ever before lead full lives after canc...
In bone marrow cancer, cancer cells may interfere with the normal production of blood cells leading toanemiaand tiredness. Likewise in cancers related to the stomach, intestine cancers usually cause tiredness because of blood loss. Cancers of the prostate and breast interfere with metabolic and hor...
But over time, as the cancer learns how to grow despite very low testosterone levels, these treatments may not work as well. Erleada works to block the effects of testosterone from reaching cancer cells. It belongs to a class of medicines called androgen receptor blockers, also known as anti...
