What is PC3 cells?
What ARE PC3 cells? PC3 cells are human prostate cancer cells, which are used for cancer research.
Can you make estrogen artificially?
Estrogen occurs naturally in the human body. There are man-made versions of estrogen such as BPA, which has been know to cause prostate cancer.
What has the author Lisa Kurlender written?
Lisa Kurlender has written: 'Survey of alternative kallikrein transcripts and identification of a human kallikrein 5 splice variant which is differentially expressed in ovarian and prostate cancer'
What is mild heterogeneous in an ultrasound to rule out liver cancer?
The ultra sound having frequency is higher than the human ear can be respond.it is greater than 46khz.
What genetic tests are available for prostate cancer?
Firstly just to outline, prostate cancer means a malignant growth arising in the outer zone of the prostate gland, that is the part of any male human that normally produces secretions that form part of the seminal fluid during ejaculation.So as with all cancers, the culprit is an abnormal mass of tissue forming in that particular part of your body i.e. cells in that area reproduce at an increased rate and no single gene causes the tumour to develop, but alternations in three types of genes cause tumourigenes, oncogenes, tumour suppressor genes and stability genes.Onagenes are mutated and so that makes the gene active. The Oncogene can be the consequence of chromosomal translocations resulting from gene amplification or intragenic mutation affecting crucial residue which regulates activity of gene product.So because of this gene activity, the symptoms of prostate cancer may thereby develop sometimes due enlargement of the prostate and so include difficulty in you starting to pass urine, poor flow and increased frequency of visiting toilet and in advanced cases, pain may be caused by involvement of nerves within the pelvis or by spread of cancer to bones anywhere in your body.Tumour suppressor genes get targeted by genetic alterations, mutations reducing the activity of the gene product due missense mutation at residue that causes a truncated protein from deletion or insertion of various sizes or from epigenetic silencing.So once diagnosed, treatment for prostate cancer depends on how far it has progressed as a consequence of this gene activity. Treatment may be by prosectomy (surgical removal of the prostate) or radiotherapy involving ionizing radiation passed through the diseased tissue. If the cancer has spread to other parts of your body before it was discovered you may be helped by reducing level of testosterone by surgical removal of the testes or by giving oestrogen drugs which block release of the pituitary hormone that regulates the release of testosterone.
How does the frequency of light compare to the frequency of sound?
-- The highest frequency of sound audible to the human ear is of the order of 20,000 Hz.-- The lowest frequency of light visible to the human eye is of the order of 375,000,000,000,000 Hz.
How many types of cancer are there?
over 3000There are many types of caner, the number is actually scary as it is over 200! There are also over 60 different organs in which cancer can develop in a human body.you should ash the qwestoin can you get your u are saying that i have canser
What does cancer do to human body?
Depends on where the cancer is.
What is the frequency range for human audiable sound?
The frequency range for human audible sound is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
Can you get cancer from animals like a hamster giving cancer to a human?
Cancer is NOT contagious.
What are types of reproductive cancer?
Ovarian Cancer Uterine Cancer Cervical cancer
Can you catch cancer in space?
Yes. If, for example, you sexual intercourse in space and you contracted Human Papilloma Virus, this can develop into Cervical Cancer. If you were exposed to too much sunlight, again, you could develop Skin Cancer, however, what your exposed skin would be doing in Space is more of a concern! In general, cancers such as Prostate cancer, occur when the natural change between old cells and new cells in the human body gets out of balance and this can happen at any time or anywhere. I presume the original question was asking if Space can protect you but it cannot as Cancer is not an airborn virus or bacteria so it would make no difference.
