Abstract:
The following article describes the development of a new data use for cancer registry information. The registry in Hartford Hospital recently participated in a summer program for high school students interested in the field of health care. After an introduction to the registry and its core data elements, a research topic was assigned to the students. Using de-identified registry data consisting of 101 non-small cell lung cancer patients who were diagnosed in 2015, 4 students in the oncology work group (Zirui Hao, Princess Harmon, Nathaniel Nicholson and Kajal Shah) from the Academy of Aerospace and Engineering in Windsor, Connecticut were charged with analyzing and drawing conclusions from the data. The students focused on what correlations could be made between patients with the same comorbidity factors using staging as a designator.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
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
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...
