First off, let's talk about ovarian cancer. It's a nasty one, even more so because catching it early is hard. Unlike some other cancers, like cervical cancer or even cardiovascular disease, there isn't a whole lot of screening and preventative efforts. But that's where the logic model steps in.
Did you know that there is a virus that is the main cause of cervical cancer. The most common types are HPV 16 and 18. The good news is that vaccines are now available to prevent HPV infections. However, there is a problem. Many people do not know much about HPV and the vaccines. Multiple factors c
recently Lung cancer in women has been a rising problem. This is about a study that tackled this issue, focusing on the time frame from 1990 to 2021 and looked at a huge database. It started with a map of trends and future predictions, highlighting how these numbers are going up. The number of peo
Urologic cancers are being examined in a new way these days. Instead of peering through microscopes at glass slides, doctors are using digital images to inspect the same samples. This leap into the digital world is not just about convenience, it is a game-changer in analyzing urologic cancers. Firs
Colorectal cancer is a tricky enemy, with mutations in proteins like APC and AXIN boosting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is a key player in tumor growth and spreading. The pathway can be turned on in an unwanted way, leading to a buildup of β-catenin. This buildup is caused by
Ovarian cancer is a tough diagnosis. Lots of folks have looked into how what we eat can make a difference in how well we do. But there are mixed messages. Some studies say eating right can help, but others aren't so sure. This is important because ovarian cancer is especially hard to beat. The goo
In the shadowy corners of tumors, a microscopic world is at play. Scientists have become curious about the bacteria and other microbes that live within tumors. These microbes are hard to see without powerful tools, but they're there and doing something in the body. Tiny bacteria inside tumors can c
In the fight against cancer, we're seeing big changes. Cancer is a serious problem all around the world. So too are the global figures. About 19 million new cases of cancer were found in 2020. It is easy to talk about trying out simple and complex lab tools to find cancer. These let doctors det
These tiny particles, called extracellular vesicles, are everywhere. They are released by cells throughout the body. This can be normal, or it can happen during disease. Even more interesting, these tiny particles can send signals to other cells. They can help start, grow, and spread cancer. One ca
Focus on the tough topic of breast cancer. This time scientists are examining the specific challenge faced by individuals with HER2-positive breast cancer. The good thing is that HER2-targeted therapy has been effective in improving patient outcomes. This therapy works by targeting a protei
