Cancer Research UK

by <a href=http://articlecrux.com/profile/Sven-Ullmann/942>Sven Ullmann

More and more people are surviving cancer than ever before. cancer is no longer the death sentence it once was. Cancer treatments in the past were sometimes drastic and devastating. Surgery that used to involve a large incision can now be accomplished through a small incision using a surgical probe that allows surgeons to see and remove cancerous tissue without the trauma of major surgery.

The Very Essence Of Being A Woman Is Her Breast

by aseya

Most women agree that the most important part of their body are her breasts. A woman's breast is perhaps the body part most written about in books, magazines, poems, and other literature. Aside from the obvious physiological importance of the mammary glands, a woman's breast also symbolizes all that is romantic and sensual in the female figure. Needless to say, these glands are the usual subjects of male desires and fantasies.

The Key Facts Behind Prostate Cancer

by Chris Marshall

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer of UK men. If it is found early and is still confined to the gland itself then the chances of survival are excellent. Modern surgical techniques, combined with drugs such as Viagra, mean that an operation to treat prostate cancer does not signal the end of a patient's sex-life.

Living with Cancer; where to get help and support

by Paul McIndoe

Cancer affects more people than the sufferer alone. Although they bare the brunt of the physical pain, their suffering has a huge affect on friends and family too, which can be very distressing. It's therefore not surprising that in addition to cancer help groups for sufferers themselves, many forms of support for friends and families of cancer sufferers have also risen up. Help is available in a range of mediums; self help groups, one on one councillors, phone lines, internet forums and traditional publications such as books and leaflets.

Cancer and Cancer therapy

by Dawes. Jeremy.


Although the origin of the term ‘cancer’ is not clear, cancer is responsible for nearly 13% of all natural deaths in the world. To better understand how cancer develops it is important to understand the concept of apoptosis (or programmed cell death). The human body produces millions of new cells each day, and each cell has an inbuilt mechanism that checks for any genetic defects and defective cells are destroyed by the body. Occasionally, cells with genetic defects survive and begin replicating. The defective cells are aggressive (grow and divide without respect to normal limits), invasive (invade and destroy adjacent tissues), and/or metastatic (spread to other locations in the body).

Asbestos Dangers In Britains Buildings

Author: John Hill

Recent statistics show that almost every building built before 1980 is most likely to be made of asbestos related products. According to the TUC, all public buildings and schools built between 1960 and 1980 most probably have asbestos in walls, boilers, and even hot pipes. Properties built since the mid-1980's are unlikely to contain asbestos in the fabric of the building and properties built since 1990 are extremely unlikely to contain asbestos anywhere in the building.
