According to the leading cancer charity in the United Kingdom, there are around 298,000 new cases of cancer which are diagnosed every year and current figures suggest that one in three people in the UK will develop a form of cancer during their life. Breast cancer is the most common form of the disease, with 15 per cent of cancer sufferers developing this particular illness.Understandably, with more than 156,000 cancer-related deaths in the UK during 2008, a considerable amount of time and money is being put into trying to find a way to beat the disease. The use of biomarkers is helping with the research effort and they are playing a crucial role in tests being carried out across the world.In Sheffield, a two-year trial process has begun to try and create a non-invasive test for oral cancer which has been designed to be swift and cause the patient as little stress and upset as possible. The test involves using a brush to collect cells from the inside of a person's mouth, which are then analysed for signs of cancer. With just 20 minutes between the sample being taken and the results known, the new test would be far quicker than the current process.At the moment a...more

Cancer is a dreaded disease. It makes its appearance as harmless symptoms and by the time the doctors make a definite diagnosis, it may have reached an incurable stage. Cancer treatment is very complex and expensive, as well as strenuous on the body and mind. If you notice even the slightest health issue becoming chronic, you must report it to your physician and undergo appropriate screening to rule out cancer. If detected in time, cancer can be cured. Along with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy have all proven to be successful for cancer treatment. During radiation, high energy rays are used to kill the cancer cells of a specified area. Radiation is generally given externally by a machine that aims the rays at the area where the tumor is located. Patients need not stay in the hospital for this. They can come to the hospital regularly for radiation sessions. For internal radiation, which is also called implant radiation, patients need to stay in the hospital when the radiation level is highest. This is because wires, needles or catheters containing radioactive substances need to be placed directly in the tumor or as close to it as possible. Once the implants are...more
