Larynx01:21

Larynx

6.4K
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

7.5K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.2K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

What is Cancer?

12.8K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Cancer

51.8K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Summary

Larynx cancer, strongly linked to smoking, affects more men but is increasing in women. Early stages are treated with endoscopy or radiotherapy, while advanced cases may require larynx-sparing treatments or total laryngectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Larynx cancer incidence is rising, particularly among women, mirroring increased smoking rates.
  • France reported 3,735 new cases in 2005, highlighting a significant European burden.

Purpose:

  • To outline the epidemiology and current treatment strategies for larynx cancer.
  • To inform about therapeutic options based on disease stage.

Summary:

  • Heavy smoking is a primary risk factor for larynx cancer.
  • Early-stage larynx cancer is manageable with endoscopic surgery or radiotherapy.
  • Advanced stages may be treated with larynx-preserving chemotherapy and radiotherapy, or necessitate a total laryngectomy.

Impact:

  • Highlights the need for smoking cessation interventions to reduce larynx cancer rates.
