Minorities And Cancer (8 Pages, 95.6 USD)

This 8 page paper examines the differences between white Americans and minority Americans as related to: the incidence of different types of cancer; cancer screening; and cancer treatment. Minorities are far more likely to have any type of cancer diagnosed in its later stages while white patients are more likely to have cancer diagnosed in its early stages. Since the stage of the disease is so crucial to successful treatment, minorities have a higher cancer death rate than whites. The essay offers a literature review that addresses why the differences exist. Data are included. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Radon in Our Homes: Is It Responsible for Cancer? (7 Pages, 83.65 USD)

This is a 7 page paper discussing indoor radon exposure as a leading cause of lung cancer. In the U.S., it is estimated that 1 out of every 15 homes has an “unacceptable” level of radon gas (higher than 4 pCi/l). Within the last 15 years, radon has been found to be the second leading cause of lung cancer within the U.S. claiming over 14,000 deaths each year. While studies are still being conducting in several countries and populations, it seems that radon is linked primarily with causing lung cancer and has not been linked with any other types of cancer at this point. This is primarily due to the fact that alpha radiation released by the radon progeny atoms which adhere to the lungs has little capacity to travel distances and therefore concentrates its damage to the lungs. While certain aspects of reducing radon exposure are still being debated, such as what can be considered “safe” levels, most scientists and state and federal health agencies agree that there is little doubt that radon is one of the leading causes of lung cancer and humans receive their radon exposure from indoor environments such as homes, school and work environments where the radon levels are considerably higher than outdoors.

Five Common Chemotherapeutic Agents: Cancer Treatments, Side Effects and Complications (15 Pages, 179.25 USD)

This is a 15 page paper discussing five common chemotherapeutic agents in their treatment of cancer, their side effects and complications. Chemotherapeutic agents are used to interfere with the growth of cancer cells in an effort to destroy them. When studying the alkylating agents chlorambucil, thiotepa and carmustine and the antimetabolites fludarabine and floxuridine, it is has been found that although these chemotherapeutic agents are used in the treatment of various forms of cancer, they can also cause a great many side effects ranging from nausea, hair loss, bloody stools and urine, back and abdominal pain and even secondary cancer which may appear months or years after the administration of the treatment. Patients taking chemotherapeutic agents are also warned that they may cause birth defects during pregnancy or affect the children of mothers breast-feeding. Nevertheless, chemotherapeutic agents have been found to cure over 20 percent of new cancers diagnosed and with proper caution by the patient, physician and administering staff, the patient may overcome the cancer with this form of treatment.

Cancer Treatment/Then & Now (12 Pages, 143.4 USD)

A 12 page research paper that discusses cancer technology and treatment 30 years ago compared with today. The fight against cancer has come a long way in the last several decades. By examining where cancer technology and treatment was 30 years ago, compared to the present, it is easy to see the rapid rate of change and what this has meant in terms of saved lives with improved treatment options. In 1971, President Richard Nixon declared a national war on cancer, as he signed the National Cancer Act, which established a federally funded program to search for a cure (DeNoon). Looking at advances since that time shows that there has been a great deal of progress toward reaching this goal. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Ovarian Cancer (5 Pages, 59.75 USD)

In 1995, the rate of women being diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year in the United States was 22,000 (Anonymous 1995). This form of cancer is not easily detected in the early stages, which means that by the time it is diagnosed, serious health problems have occurred. Ovarian cancer is less prevalent than breast cancer, has a higher mortality rate and is linked with the same genetically presupposed gene. It is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States causing 14 500 deaths in 1998 (Bonn, 1999). An annual pelvic exam and possible the new testing for the gene are the most common preventative measures. This 5 page paper explores the physiological repercussions of this deadly disease. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
