cancer 2
The individual unruly cell that has escaped the normal regulatory control mechanisms is the basic unit of cancer. Inside the nucleus is a substance called DNA, which contains genetic information for the body, organized in units called genes. These genes contain the complete plans for the body. They determine weather you have a blue or a green eye, weather you will have two or four legs, etc. They send out information that tells the cell what chemicals to make, as well as how much and when to make them. In nucleus, genes are joined together, like beads on a chain, into structures called chromosomes. A normal human body cell has 46 chromosomes, which contain an average of several thousand genes each. During certain phases of the cell's life cycle, the chromosomes are stretched out into long, thin strands, and they are tangled together into a network called chromatin. In addition to genes, chromosomes contain proteins, some of which cover the genes that are not "turned on" at the particular time. The original genetic information, stored in a coded form DNA, is carried out of the nucleus by RNA and then translated into proteins by ribosomes. 70% of oncogenes are located in the weak points of
Cancer has plugged humans since ancient times. It has been found in the bones and skulls of ancient Egyptians and Peruvian mummies as far back as 3000 BC. Hypocrites, around 400 BC, first used carcinoma, from the Greek word karkinoma, meaning "crab". Around 200 AC Clarissmus Galen, was the first that referred to fleshy tumors as sarcomas. IN 1936, Johnnes M·ler used microscope to distinguish between normal and cancer cells. Cancer cells do not necessarily grow faster than normal cells, they continue to grow under conditions when normal cells would stop. They look different from normal cells. Therefore the more abnormal the cell appear, the more malignant the cancer. They can be identified by microscope. They are disorganized, abnormal, inconsistent in size and shape. 1. Carcinomas: Malignant growths attached to a part of the body's lining (which includes the skin, the inside and outside of the body's organs, the glands, the lungs, and the digestive tract. It comes from the Greek word meaning "crab". A small carcinomas developing inside a person's body may be there for several years before the person becomes aware of its existence. The carcinoma may cause the person to cough and feel a dull persistent pain on one side of the chest: 85% of cancers.
