The Oncologist

In 2016 approximately 1,685,210 cases of cancer will be diagnosed, and 595,690 people will die due to this disease. My uncle, unfortunately, was a victim of this deadly disease. My family and I witnessed the effects of this and it impacted us all strongly. I watched as my uncle underwent all the surgeries and treatments, and progressively got weaker and became fragile. The whole experience made me reflect upon myself and I desired to make a change, and help expand the research to develop a cure to end cancer.

The lesson a reader can take away is learning how hard people push to find a cure and the developing progress in cancer knowledge. Everyday people like Farber write informational articles and use advance technology to develop a cure. Although cancer is difficult to cure in any case, the easiest to cure is pediatric. The doctors at Harvard use the developing sophisticated medicine for the childhood cancer to help solve mysteries to other cancers. But because each genetic code and layers of tissues that makeup a human is different, it is impossible to have just one medicine that cures all cancer. Doctors push themselves to find

Long times ago, even during the 19th century, scientist all over the world had started to find the cure for cancer, one of the most feared disease you can ever imagine, simply because you don’t know what the cause and how to turn it off. Cancer started

Nearly 14.5 million Americans have had a history stint with some type of cancer and were still alive on January 1, 2014(American Cancer Society, 2016). There will be an estimated 1,685,210 new cancer cases and 595, 590 deaths in 2016 attibuted to caner in the U.S. (American Cancer Society,2016 ) Those astonishing numbers do not even account for the cancer patients family and friends whose lives are also affected this horrific disease. In order to get a glimpse of what a cancer patient has to go though, I decided to read Stuart Scott’s memoir, Every Day I Fight, by Larry Platt. He is an ESPN anchor that was diagnosed with a rare form of Appendiceal Cancer. It was a great book, and wanted to discuss the merits this book had on showing what

This diverse clinical settings enhanced my clinical skills beyond my expectations. The motivation to perfect my medical knowledge and skills in order to serve my future patients has been by daily inspiration. However the repetitive gratitude expressed by patients and their families and the positive feedback I received from my attendings emphasizing my ability to connect with patients especially in challenging settings,and the satisfaction I get from just making a suffering patient feels a little better, made me certain that I not only have what it takes to become a successful Oncologist but I have the personal qualities and skills that would allow me to really enjoy my

Cancer affects everyone – the young and old, the rich and poor, men, women and children – and represents a tremendous burden on patients, families and societies. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, particularly in developing countries.

In the United States alone, there was an estimated 1,685,210 new cases of cancer and an estimated of 595,690 people will die from the disease in 2016 ("Cancer Statistics”). Cancer is a very common aliment that affects men, women, children, and all races and ethnicities. There are many different types of cancers, and cancer research has been a focal point for many scientists. There are various treatments that a cancer patient to undergo. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immune therapy are among the most common ones. Each treatment works differently, and has different positive and negative side effects.

I never really thought I would be involved with cancer in the way I am now, as in being a student in

While searching for a cure for cancer seems far-fetched for the moment, I have a strong desire to change the world for the better, particularly in the field of

The prime condition of success ,the great secret ,is to concentrate my energy , thought ,and capital exclusively upon business in cancer .Having begun in research ,resolve to fight it out , to lead in it , adopt every improvement ,have the best machinery, and know the most about it .Two passions ,simple but overwhelmingly strong ,has governed my life : the search for knowledge and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.I have sought knowledge . I have wished to understand the causes of cancer . I have wished to know why people die . And I have tried to apprehend the breakthrough in cancer treatment written by Gleevec who discovered the approach was to target the disease at the cellular and subcellular level .A little of this ,but not much , I have achieved.I long to alleviate the pain of cancer . As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said, Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks .I would take approaches as many scientists do .Scientist start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem.After known the facts have been gathered , the scientist come to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination . Possible problem are formulated. The scientists plans experiments,performs calculations,and makes observations to test hypotheses.When hypotheses are confirmed ,they are incorporated into theories. If I become a scientist

In conclusion, I have a way to change the world. Even if it is subtle, it helps the cancer patients who suffer with damage to their

As an Oncologist they play a big role in people’s lives and help evaluate and help treat patients suffering from cancer. Cancer covers a large amount of people who have this disease which makes it difficult for an individual to have a good healthy lifestyle. Stereotypes are fix beliefs and ideals about a particular group. Stereotypes are based on exaggerated traits and a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular person or thing. Misconceptions are based on false truths and an opinion that is incorrect.

The Cancer Research Society’s (CRS) purpose is to collect funds for cancer research on all kinds of cancer. The association commenced in the year 1945, and it is known to be the first Canadian organization that focuses on gathering finances for cancer research. The institution assists Canadian health care professionals, and researchers to further understand the causation of cancer. Additionally, the institute takes part in the advancement of successful treatments, which could perhaps improve the patient’s life and aid in preventing cancer. The organization contributes to the progression of science, which particularly focuses on preventing, detecting, and treating cancer. The CRS is determined as they have been working on defeating cancer since

Secondly, they are able to perform blood transfusions, bone marrow, and stem cell transplantation which can kill cancer cells in the body. Hematologists/Oncologists also have a dedication to researching one’s immune system to understand it well enough to use it in the elimination of cancer cells from the body. But their main mission is to study the cancer cell to find new opportunities to target tumors and suppress them. There have been many advances in hematology-oncology, but one significant advancement was the contribution of drugs and aggressive treatment of spinal fluid which can help children with lymphoblastic leukemia have a high chance of being cured. Approximately 80% of children with this disease are cured, which is an increase from the 1960’s where most diagnoses were not able to be cured which meant certain

e number of deaths from cancer continues to increase each year. Cancer is a disease has touched every family at least once. It is a disease that can kill you in a matter of years or months. There are several different types of cancer, some of which both men and women can be diagnosed with and some of which only one sex can actually be diagnosed with. Today researchers are finding more and more advances into what causes cancer. I myself am a cancer survivor and my treatment at the time in 1992 was considered experimental. My older brother who is now 32 years old was diagnosed with Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, when he was 2 years old; he too was a part of a research study that he is still participating in today. Cancer research is
