Stem cell treatment is used to treat advanced breast cancer.
What else can I help you with?
Can stem cells be used to cure breast cancer?
Yes, I think so.
Do stem cells grow faster than cancer cells?
Stem cells do not necessarily grow faster than cancer cells. Cancer cells can divide more rapidly and uncontrollably than stem cells, which can contribute to the aggressive nature of cancer growth. However, stem cells have the ability to divide and differentiate into various cell types, while cancer cells typically lose this ability.
How are stem cells and cancer cells different?
it is just different
How is luekemia treated?
Leukemia is a very serious condition. It is a cancer of the blood cells. Treatment includes watchful waiting, chemotherapy, stem cell transplant, and radiation therapy.
Do stem cells cure a cancerous growth?
No. But if you kill or remove the cancer, the tissues/organs that were removed can be replaced or regenerated with stem cells.
Does stem cell research cover cancer?
In any cancer tumor, there are what's called 'cancer stem cells'. These cancer stem cells behave like stem cells in that they are usually quiescent but when the tumor is destroyed by for example radiation therapy and chemotherapy, which targets dividing cells, the tumor stem cells can survive these treatments and begin to divide and recreate the tumor after the treatment has ceased. Right now there are no effective treatment except for surgery that can selectively target cancer stem cells and this is the cause of high recurrence rates in certain cancers. There are also studies that show that directly injecting neural stem cells into brains with neural tumors can directly reduce the size of the tumor without harming surrounding cells. This makes stem cells sound like the 'silver bullet' for neural tumors however much more research needs to be done before this effect can be understood enough for human usage or usage for other organs.
A disease resulting from abnormal proliferation of stem cells in bone marrow?
This cancer type is called myeloma.
What organs have been treated using blood from the umbilical cord?
umbilical cord cell are stem cells that can be used to make other organs the cells are hematopic stem cells
Main difference between stem cell and cancer cell?
stem cells having oct-4 factor which is responsible for differentiation whereas in cancer cells , cells continously proliferating they never differentiate, nd they also lack oct-4 protein
Are stem cells safe?
Research is still being conducted on stem cells. They\'re mostly safe, but side effects could include rejection, cancer, or death.
Why do cancer cells go through the cell cycle rapidly?
A stem cell becomes cancerous and creates the tumor or other cancer. Most of the other cancer cells either do not divide or only divide slowly. The cancerous stem cells divide and create cancer cells and other cancerous stem cells. Removing the entire cancer but leaving a few of the cancerous stem cells in the body does not cure the cancer.
What are different types of stem cells?
There are three types: totipotent, multipotent, and pluripotent. Totipotent: cells produced from the fusion of an egg and a sperm (embryo) Multipotent: cells that can give rise to a small number of different cell types--for example, bone marrow and brain contain this type Pluripotent stem: this type can produce almost all type of cells in the body; called 'true' stem cells I know there are Endothelial Progenitors, Germline Stem Cells, Hematopoietic Progenitors, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Neural Stem Cells, Signaling Pathway, Embryonic Stem Cells, Cancer Stem Cells and Stem Cell Cytokines.
