Lung cancer results from abnormal cell growth and division that causes tumors. It tends to spread early, making it life-threatening. Symptoms vary depending on location and spread but include cough, shortness of breath, and coughing up blood. Treatment depends on cancer type, location, health, and spread and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted drug therapy. Scientists recently discovered lung stem cells that could be precursors to lung cancer.

Lung cancer is one of the major causes of death in women and men across the world. This disease has surpassed breast cancer as the main cause of cancer deaths in women. According to recent studies, 157,300 people were projected to die from lung cancer in the United States in 2010. This number is more than the number of deaths caused due to colon and rectal, breast, and prostate cancer combined.

7 Things to Know about Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Lung cancer continues to be the top cancer killer of both men and women. The disease (small cell and non-small cell) is the
second most common non-skin cancer for both genders. This at-a-glance infographic provides some of the facts about the disease and should be read in conjunction with my lung cancer 2014 update (also on SlideShare). Abbreviations are explained within the sources listed at the bottom of the infographic. As usual, please consult a doctor for any medical advice.
Cancer Rates on the Decline in the United States
According to a report from the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), cancer death rates in the United States fell by about 1.5% per year for both men and women between 2003 and 2012. Cancer incidence rates also dropped for men and remained stable for women. The declining rates of cancer deaths are attributed to better prevention and earlier detection efforts. However, liver cancer showed the highest increase in both death and incidence rates, with hepatitis C identified as a major factor. The report recommends increased testing for hepatitis C, especially for those born between 1945-1965 who are most at risk.
Cancer akanksha dubey
Cancer arises from uncontrolled cell growth and spread. It was named for swollen veins around tumors resembling a crab. Indian medicine previously called it "arbuda". Cancer is characterized by loss of control over cellular growth and proliferation beyond physiological needs. The main types are carcinomas of epithelial cells, sarcomas of connective tissues, leukemias of blood stem cells, and lymphomas of lymph nodes. Predisposing factors include age, heredity, lifestyle, diet, occupation and some pre-cancerous diseases. Cancer cells show diminished growth control, invasion of tissues, and metastasis to other parts.
biology presentation
This document discusses the causes and effects of lung cancer. It identifies smoking and secondhand smoke as the primary causes of lung cancer, responsible for over 90% of cases. The main symptoms of lung cancer are chest pain, coughing, coughing up blood, fatigue, weight loss, shortness of breath, and bone pain in later stages. Thousands of Americans die from lung cancer each year, with secondhand smoke causing about 3,000 additional deaths annually from lung cancer. Lung cancer is more common in men but rates have declined for men and increased for women over time.
Cancer is cureable if ditected early
This document provides an overview of cancer including its classification, signs and symptoms, causes, pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention, screening, management, prognosis, epidemiology, history, and research. It discusses how cancers are classified based on cell type and location. It describes common signs and symptoms of cancer including local effects, signs of metastasis, and systemic symptoms. It outlines various environmental, genetic, and infectious causes of cancer and discusses how certain chemicals, radiation, viruses, and bacteria can contribute to cancer development. It also provides details on cancer pathophysiology and the genetic mutations involved in cancer formation.
Cancer
Cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.
Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named for the organ or type of cell in which they start - for example, cancer that begins in the colon is called colon cancer; cancer that begins in basal cells of the skin is called basal cell carcinoma.
Cancer types can be grouped into broader categories. The main categories of cancer include:
-- Carcinoma - cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
-- Sarcoma - cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue.
-- Leukemia - 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 myeloma - cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system.
-- Central nervous system cancers - cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord.
(For definitions of other cancer-related terms, see NCI's Dictionary of Cancer Terms.)
Origins of CancerAll cancers begin in cells, the body's basic unit of life. To understand cancer, it's helpful to know what happens when normal cells become cancer cells.
The body is made up of many types of cells. These cells grow and divide in a controlled way to produce more cells as they are needed to keep the body healthy. When cells become old or damaged, they die and are replaced with new cells.
However, sometimes this orderly process goes wrong. The genetic material (DNA) of a cell can become damaged or changed, producing mutations that affect normal cell growth and division. When this happens, cells do not die when they should and new cells form when the body does not need them. The extra cells may form a mass of tissue called a tumor.
(Image from Understanding Cancer Series: Cancer.)
Not all tumors are cancerous; tumors can be benign or malignant.
Benign tumors aren't cancerous. They can often be removed, and, in most cases, they do not come back. Cells in benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body.
Malignant tumors are cancerous. Cells in these tumors can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. The spread of cancer from one part of the body to another is called metastasis.
Some cancers do not form tumors. For example, leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood.
Cancer StatisticsA report from the nation's leading cancer organizations shows that rates of death in the United States from all cancers for men and women continued to fall between 2004 and 2008, the most recent reporting period available. (Read more about the Annual Report.)

Cancer And Its Causes
Cancer is the general name for a group of more than 100 diseases. Although there are many kinds of cancer, all cancers start because of abnormal cells grow out of control.
Epidemiology of cancer
This document defines cancer and its major categories. It provides worldwide statistics on cancer incidence and mortality. The most common cancers by gender and region are described. Environmental and genetic factors that can cause cancer are discussed. Methods of cancer prevention, screening, and treatment are outlined. Two specific cancers - oral and stomach cancer - are summarized in terms of epidemiology, causes, diagnosis, and prevention.
Cancer
The document discusses cancer at a high level. It defines cancer as uncontrolled cell growth and describes how some cancers cause rapid growth while others are slower. Cancerous cells can spread through the body via the lymph nodes and tumors can be malignant, meaning they invade nearby tissues and metastasize. There are many causes of cancer including smoking, alcohol, viruses, chemicals and radiation. Cancers are named for where they begin and the type of cell. The direct cause of cancer is changes to DNA from environmental and genetic factors.

Cancer report
Cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are over 100 different types of cancer, each classified by the type of cell initially affected. Cancer is caused by genetic mutations that result in uncontrolled cell growth. Risk factors include carcinogens like tobacco, radiation, and viruses, as well as genetic predispositions and age. Cancer diagnosis involves imaging scans and biopsies to detect tumors and stage the cancer. Prevention strategies aim to reduce exposure to risk factors through vaccination, controlling tobacco and alcohol use, healthy diets, and cancer screening programs.
Cancer
Cancer is a disease caused when cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. Cancer is caused by changes to DNA. Most cancer-causing DNA changes occur in sections of DNA called genes. These changes are also called genetic changes.
CANCER
Cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell growth and can spread throughout the body. The main causes are environmental factors like tobacco (25-30% of cancer deaths), diet and obesity (30-35%), infections (15-20%), radiation, and lack of physical activity. Some cancers are also caused by certain chemicals, viruses, and bacteria. The most common cancer types are skin cancer and lung cancer. Symptoms vary depending on the cancer type and location but may include lumps, pain, bleeding, fatigue, and weight loss.

Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If left untreated, cancer can result in death. The document discusses several types of cancer including lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death, and colon cancer, the second most common cancer. It also covers cancer statistics, risk factors, screening, treatment milestones, and specific cancers like lung and colon cancer. Preventable lifestyle factors contribute to nearly 1/3 of cancer deaths in the US. Early detection through screening improves diagnosis and survival rates.
Epidemiology of cancer
This document discusses cancer, including categories of cancer, signs and symptoms, frequency and common cancers worldwide and in India. It summarizes that carcinomas arise from epithelial cells, sarcomas from connective tissues, and lymphomas from immune/bone marrow cells. The highest global cancer rates occur in Northern Europe and Australia. Lung cancer is most common worldwide while breast cancer has the highest rate in Belgium. Primary prevention focuses on reducing environmental/lifestyle risk factors while secondary prevention utilizes cancer screening and registries.
Crimson Publishers-The Orthopedic Burden of U.S. Cancer Care
This document summarizes the orthopedic burden of cancer care in the United States. It notes that as cancer survivorship increases, orthopedists will increasingly treat long-term complications of cancer and its treatments. Many cancers commonly metastasize to bone, requiring orthopedic intervention. Chemotherapies can cause bone density loss, fractures, and other issues. The document outlines common primary bone cancers and soft tissue sarcomas, as well as electrolyte abnormalities, painful lesions, and spinal cord compression that orthopedists might encounter. It concludes by discussing long-term complications like bone density loss, degenerative joint disease, and increased injury risk that orthopedists must manage in cancer survivors.
Cancer intro
Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. The three main types are carcinoma, sarcoma, and leukemia. Cancer cells differ from normal cells in that they are self-sufficient, resist cell death, multiply indefinitely, and invade other tissues. Early detection of cancer increases treatment success, and screening programs exist for breast and cervical cancers. Prevention strategies target reducing tobacco use, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, and avoiding infections and environmental/occupational carcinogens.
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer forms in the lungs and can spread to other organs. It is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, with around 200,000 new cases and 159,000 deaths annually. Smoking is the primary risk factor, causing around 90% of lung cancer cases. The two main types are non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer, which are diagnosed and treated differently depending on the cancer's stage and size. Research continues on new treatments to improve survival rates.

Lung cancer results from abnormal cell growth and division in the lungs. It tends to spread early, making it difficult to treat. Symptoms can include coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, and coughing up blood. Treatment depends on the type and stage of cancer, and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted drug therapy. Researchers have discovered lung stem cells that could be precursors to lung cancer.
Nutrients in diet that effective in cancer prevention
Human health has many aspects, we need to feed the diet which provides better nutrition and gives good health, an absence of disease and good behaviour. There are many health-related problems and conditions are responsible for the weak health and sometimes death causing illness, in which cancer is one most common health risk in human healthcare. Cancer is the state in which cell division is uncontrolled which damage the cells and in the last stage, if incurable caused death. There are many reasons why cell got infected due to cancerous infections, in which food habits and quality of foodstuffs are also increased the risk of cancer, like mycotoxins contamination in the food. MSG additives, taste enhancer, food colouring etc. done by the chemical processing which produces toxins inside the during the oxidation process of food. Cancer is causes of death rate higher than other health risks all over the world. The number of cancer cases is likely to rise up to 24 million by 2035. Several studies were performed in the last years in order to explore and analyze associations between diet and risk of cancer. The risk of cancer is depending on the degree of exposure to contaminated food, availability of nutrients in the body, dietary pattern and lifestyle as well as food behaviour. Research from a number of sources provides information that some vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, dietary fibre, certain micronutrients, few fatty acids and physical activity protect against cancers. Whereas poor dietary intake, imbalanced nutrition, less physical activity trances fatty acids, food processing and cooking method may increase risks.

Small squamous cell cancer
Small cell lung cancer is an aggressive form of lung cancer that grows quickly and often spreads to other parts of the body early. It makes up about 15% of lung cancer cases and starts in the center of the chest. Symptoms include coughing, weight loss, and shortness of breath. Tests like CT scans and biopsies are used to diagnose small cell lung cancer and determine staging. Treatment involves chemotherapy, radiation, and sometimes surgery, though the prognosis is poor with only 6% of patients surviving more than 5 years after diagnosis. The author's mother passed away from small cell lung carcinoma in 2011.

Small-Cell Lung Cancer
The literature review will examine small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) also referred to as oat cell carcinoma, which is a deadly disease that connected to tobacco smoking. It has been established that small lung cancer causes 10-18 percent of all the cancer cases. The cancer starts in the lungs and moves to the rest body very fast. The literature will emphasize the fact that the disease is not curable; nonetheless if correct treatment method is administered during the early stages of the disease the disease will be treated. Therefore, the literature review will examine the causes and methods used to treat the disease (Sørensen et al, 2010).
Sørensen et al (2010) argue that SCLC is more prevalent in men than in women, and in most instances the common form of SCLC to have symptoms called paraneoplatic syndrome-which is symptoms as a result of hormones secreted by a tumor or through body immune system of the body as a form of response to a tumor. Symptoms of this kind of cancer include coughing up blood, persistent cough, shortness of breath, swelling of the neck and face, wheezing and repeated episodes of bronchitis or pneumonia (Sørensen et al, 2010).
According to Capizzello et al (2011), SCLC develops rapidly; however, it responds well to chemotherapy because it tends to become more resistant to any treatment as it progresses. It starts in the large bronchi and spreads to the brain. Small-cell lung cancer gets its name because observed under a microscope is mostly filled with nucleus. The disease is divided into two categories namely extensive and limited. It has been confirmed that 60 to 70 percent of the people already suffers from extensive stage SCLC at the period when one is diagnosed. Of all the cancer, SCLC is the most aggressive type of lung cancer. Ismaili (2011) says that since this type of cancer normally metastasizes broadly very early on in the natural history of the tumor, and since almost all cases of the disease respond intensely to radiotherapy and /or ‘complete response , there have been no significant role of surgery of the disease since 1970s. However, in the recent research it has been established that surgical excision can be used to improve survival when administered at the early stages of the disease before chemotherapy (Capizzello et al, 2011).
Argiris and Murren (2001) say that since SCLC spreads very fast through the body, treatment must comprise cancer-killing drugs, which chemotherapy is taken orally or vaccinated into the body. In many cases, the chemotherapy drug etoposide sometimes called irinotecan is integrated with either carboplatin or cisplatin. Therefore, combination of radiation and chemotherapy treatment is administered to individual.
Fresh Start - POST CANCER DETOX
Our bodies are made up of millions of cells, grouped together to form tissues and organs such as muscles and bones, the lungs and the liver. Genes inside each cell order it to grow, work, reproduce and die. Normally, our cells obey these orders and we remain healthy. But sometimes the instructions get mixed up, causing the cells to form lumps or tumors, or spread through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body.
Cancer presentation1
Cancer is the general name for over 100 medical conditions involving uncontrolled and dangerous cell growth. Some cancers are caused by genetic factors while others are caused by environmental exposures, such as chemicals. Two patients may have cancer for different reasons - one may have a family history of breast cancer while the other was exposed to carcinogenic chemicals at work. Both ultimately suffer from abnormal cell growth triggered by different root causes.
Cancer presentation1
Cancer is the general name for over 100 medical conditions involving uncontrolled and dangerous cell growth. Some cancers are caused by genetic factors while others are caused by environmental exposures to carcinogenic chemicals or other external agents. Both genetic and environmental factors can contribute to abnormal cell growth and the development of cancer in patients.
Term paper with margins in cancer
Cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell growth and can affect people of all ages. While genetics play a small role, environmental factors are responsible for the vast majority of cancers. Some known causes of cancer include tobacco use, certain infections, radiation, poor diet/obesity, and environmental pollutants. There is no single cause of cancer for most individuals, as cancer is usually the result of multiple factors. Certain inherited genetic mutations do significantly increase cancer risk for some people. Prolonged exposure to carcinogens like asbestos can also cause specific types of cancer. Overall, cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide.
Oncology.pptx
Oncology is the study of cancer, which deals with prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The presentation covered the definition of oncology and cancer, types of cancer like breast and lung cancer, diagnostic techniques including imaging and biopsies, cancer staging and grading, and common treatments such as surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Prevention strategies mentioned included maintaining a healthy lifestyle, being aware of environmental risks, practicing safe habits, and increasing education and awareness of cancer.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

- 2. Lung cancer can be described as a disease that consists of uncontrolled growth of cells in tissues of the lung. While the normal lung tissue cells reproduce and form healthy lung tissue, these abnormal cells reproduce rapidly and do not grow into normal lung tissue.
- 3. The lumps of cancer cells also known as tumors develop and disturb the proper functioning of the lungs. Major symptoms associated with this disease include shortness of breath, coughing (including coughing up blood), and weight loss. Lung cancer is mainly caused due to carcinogens which are present in tobacco smoke, ionizing radiation, and viral infection.
- 4. Lung cancers are classified as per the histological which has some important implications for clinically managing and diagnosing the disease. Majority of lung cancers are carcinomas and arise from epithelial cells.
- 5. The two most common histological types of lung carcinoma, characterized by the size and appearance of the malignant cells include non-small-cell and small-cell lung carcinoma. The non-small cell lung cancer is the most prevalent form and accounts for about 75-80 percent of lung cancers. It can be further classified into Epidermoid carcinoma, Adenocarcinoma, Bronchioalveolar carcinoma and Large-cell undifferentiated carcinoma.
- 6. Small cell lung cancer on the other hand accounts for 20 percent of all lung cancers. In order to improve the chances of survival, it is highly important to detect the disease early. Various tests used to diagnose lung cancer include physical examination, chest examination, chest X-ray, CT scan, PET scan, MRI, Sputum cytology, Bronchoscopy, Biopsy and more.
- 7. Dr. Anil Potti is a renowned clinician and Oncologist from the United States. Over the years, he has gained popularity for providing care to patients suffering from cancer. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in Medicine and Surgery (M.B.B.S) in 1995 from the Christian Medical College & Hospital, Vellore, India.
- 8. DR. Potti is Board Certified in Medical oncology and he received his Fellowship Training in Hematology and Oncology from Duke University in 2006. Initially, Dr. Anil Potti wanted to become a general medical physician but one of his personal experiences led him to the field of oncology.
