Cancer

51.7K
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.

What is Cancer?

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-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

8.3K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Cancer Therapies

8.5K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

    Summary

    Cancer impacts patients financially and socially. Support programs help cancer patients maintain social connections and return to work, addressing key public health concerns.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Public Health
    • Social Work

    Context:

    • Cancer diagnosis often leads to significant financial and social challenges for patients.
    • Public health initiatives increasingly focus on the holistic well-being of cancer survivors.
    • Hospital social services play a crucial role in patient support beyond clinical treatment.

    Purpose:

    • To highlight the social and financial implications of cancer on patients.
    • To introduce support programs aimed at preserving patients' social lives.
    • To detail a hospital-led project facilitating patients' return to work.

    Summary:

    • Cancer creates financial and social insecurity, necessitating integrated support systems.
    • Support programs are developed to help patients maintain their social engagement during and after cancer treatment.
