ARTICLES ABOUT BREAST CANCER


Hi people,
I am going to start a separate section about all the information with regard to the breast cancer which is one of the most deadly threats for the women from all over the world. So you people can find all the related information on the health concerns in the section “ARTICLES ABOUT BREAST CANCER”.
Breast cancer and its types

Breast cancer, as the name shows its association with the tissues of the breast. Breast cancer is classified as following,
1.       Ductal carcinoma
2.       Lobular carcinoma
Ductal carcinoma is because of disorder in the ducts of the breast which carry milk the nipples.
Lobular carcinoma on the other hand is because of some disorder in the lobules which are the factory for milk in the breasts. Ductal carcinoma and the lobular carcinoma can also be in situ.


Ductal carcinoma is the one which is more common in the women as compared to the lobular carcinoma. However, the breast cancer is associated with any part of the breasts. It is metastatic or benign depending on the conditions. In most of the cases breast cancer is sensitive to the abnormal level of estrogen in the body of the women. This is because that there are some receptors in the breasts of the women which is sensitive to the estrogen hormone. So such condition of the breast cancer is termed as estrogen receptor positive cancer.

It is also noticed that some women have another kind of the breast cancer named as HER2 positive breast cancer. It is because of the gene that helps in the growth, repair and the division of the cells of the breast.
The above mentioned information is just a primary one about the breast cancer. You can find more information on this page named as “ARTICLES ABOUT BREAST CANCER”.

6-MERCAPTOPURINE

Healthconcerns “Articles on cancer” is going to add a complete pharmacology and the medicinal chemistry of the Anti-cancer drugs. So here is the first one as “6-MERCAPTOPURINE” 6-Mercaptopurine Chemical structure Chemically 6-Mercaptopurine is analog of adenine and hypoxanthine                                                  Mechanism of action 6-Mercaptupurine is converted to   6- Mercaptopurine nucleosides leading to De novo inhibition of purine nucleotide synthesis. ¨       6-Mercaptopurine competes with hypoxanthine and guanine for the enzyme hypoxanthine/guanine phosphoribosyltransferase  and itself converted to thioinosinic acid                                         ...

Detection of bio-markers over the past decade"

  Detection of bio-markers over the past decade" As we are fully aware of the fact that the development of the new bio-markers is of great significance in treating and preventing the diseases or the complex toxins outbreaks in the body, so scientist and researchers are always eager to find new bio-markers to prevent the onslaught of the diseases. First of all lets us know that what is a bio-marker? A bio-marker can be termed as characteristic that can play a very vital role in the reflection of the intensity of a disease in the body. It can also be used as a detector to indicate a disease in the body; it can be assessed by a particular antibody produced in response to that disease. Moreover, they also make us enable to initiate a therapy which can act only on the target site in the body to prevent the loss of the healthy cells and tissues in the body. Bio-markers can be classified as disease related and drug related bio-markers. Disease related bio-markers help us t...

ANTIBODY DIRECTED ENZYME PRODRUG THERAPY

  Antibody Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy (ADEPT) Ehealthconcerns has brought again a new sensational technology for treating the cancer by the name of ADEPT under the heading of “ARTICLES ON CANCER” ADEPT is a new type of cancer treatment,   drugs used called monoclonal antibodies | , ( Antibodies produced by a single cell) ( substances that can locate and bind to cancer cells wherever they are in the body) or antibodies made in the lab to lock onto specific antigens. Antigens are substances that can be recognized by the immune system. Monoclonal antibodies are used in chemotherapy and radioactive substances, to deliver cancer treatment directly to cancer cells, not healthy Monoclonal antibodies Monoclonal antibodies are used to try to destroy the cancer cells, while causing little harm to normal cells. They recognize the protein on the surface of the cancer cell and lock onto it. Some monoclonal antibodies can then trigger (activate) the body’s immun...
