When a scientist is looking at cells under the microscope, they often use a stain or a dye so they can see things more clearly. Inside each cell, there is a nucleus. This is where genetic information is stored. Each time a new cell is made, this information is copied. Cancer cells grow and replicate a lot faster than normal cells, so this information is getting copied a lot faster.
Hyperchromatic means that the nucleus looks really dark under the microscope. This is typical of cancer cells because the nucleus is in such an active state.
Biopsy results: mild atypical cells What does that mean?
I assume you are referring to cancer treatment - It is important as any cells that are left could form a new colony of cancer cells. This would mean the cancer would return
No, it just means, that at the time of the biopsy, there were no active cancer cells. It is not a guarantee that the cancer cannot return at a future date.
A mass of new cells that forms from uncontrolled cell growth is refered to as a neoplasm. This can indicate a cancer or tumour, where cell growth is unchecked and defective.
Atypical cells are cells that appear to be abnormal and need further testing to determine why they are abnormal. Sometimes these cells can end up being cancer but not all atypical cells will.
Cancer cells are a natural occurrence in the human body, so everybody has them. This does not mean they are harmful or active, they only cause cancer in over abundance or if chemically activated somehow.
A malignant cell is a cancer cell. Once that is growing out of control. No malignant cell means the absence of cancer cells. This means the observed cells are healthy.
standard uptake value. An indicator of how active the cells are..
It depends on what you mean by 'out of control', but if you mean the cell keeps can't stop dividing while carrying faulty information, it's called cancer.
Technically, yes, if you have cancerous cells in your body, you do have some cancer. However, if it is only a few cancerous cells, and they haven't targeted any organs yet, they are generally easy to remove. Basically, cancer cells are mutated cells that start somewhere, and multiply at a faster rate than normal cells, and will form a tumor These cells will eventually go into the blood stream, and target an organ such as the liver, where they will begin multiplying into another tumor, and so on. So, as long as these cancer cells have not yet reached the blood stream, simply removing the tumor will get rid of the cancerous cells, as the cells are only, presently, skin deep.
Chemotherapy is a type of treatment for cancer that involves killing large collections of cells to destroy cancer cells and heal the patient, although this also kills normal cells and makes the patient feel ill, and also lose hair.
I think you mean the iPod Nano? And no, it doesn't.
