Can you critically evaluate this information including details in the discussion, also including molecular and cellular aspects as well as detailed diagnostic and treatment approach:- When tumours attempt to spread/invasive outside of their original tissue or to a remote metastatic location, they are said to be invasive. This process is typically started or sustained by the microenvironment around the tumour. Examine in-depth/Critically what a cancer microenvironment is and how it's considered to encourage tumour migration.
Step by stepSolved in 3 steps
can you go a bit more in-depth with the critical evalution, and also state the challenges and issue (and pros & cons)?

- 2. Bill, 85 years old dx with terminal cancer wants to live but is worried about the quality of his life. His options are 1. Chemotherapy will extend his life for 2-3 years ($100,000/year). 2. New cancer Rx will extend his life for 5 years ($400,000/year) 3. He would sell everything but would only have enough money for 1 year of the new drug Chemo which would cost $300,000 for 3 years while New RX will cost $2 million. Which option should he choose and why?arrow_forwardBriefly discuss tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and cancer treatments.arrow_forwardA new screening program was instituted in a certain country. The program used a screening test that is effective in detecting cancer Z at an early stage. Assume that there is an effective treatment for this type of cancer and, therefore, that the program results in a change in the usual course of the disease (decrease in death due to the cancer). Assume also that the rates noted are calculated in the quality of death certification of this disease. A. During the first year of this program will the incidence rate of cancer Z increase, decrease, or remain constant? B. During the first year of this program will the prevalence rate of cancer Z increase, decrease, or remain constant? C. During the first year of this program will the case-fatality rate of cancer Z increase, decrease, or remain constant? D. As a result of this program, will the mortality rate from cancer Z in the country increase, decrease, or remain constant?arrow_forward
- A brain tumor on histology exam is cystic, has cells of uniform size, and has no mitotic figures. From this you know the tumor a has metasticized from the body. b is low-grade. c is likely a high-grade glioblastoma multiforne. d is a meningioma.arrow_forwardhow is evading growth receptors necessary for cancer development and how is it driving cancer formation. in 3-6 sentences.arrow_forwardHow does knowing and understanding the history of cancer provide support for someone with a cancer diagnosis? Does knowing your enemy- knowing cancer-bring some kind of comfort?arrow_forward
- Please help with answering this Cancer Biology question. Detailed answers are welcome to aid in understanding.arrow_forwardwhat is a good response to? My portfolio project is based on cancer as it it’s the leading cause of premature death in my county. Currently, through the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), the CDC supports cancer registries in 46 states. In turn, the NPCR also collects data from the supported territories/states and together with the NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, CDC’s NPCR collects data for the entire U.S. Population. The purpose is to monitor the burden of cancer, evaluate prevention/control, and identify needs for additional efforts/resources on a national, state, and local level. Also noteworthy is the two types of cancer registries, the first being “Hospital” which provides data used to evaluate patient care within the hospital, while “Population-based” registries typically fall under the state health departments and collect data for specific geographic areas. This process involves collecting/compiling data from facilities such as:…arrow_forwardYou are evaluating a 55 year old breast cancer patient who has been on Raloxifene and Pertuzumab for the past year, which of these features do you think is least indicative of tumor resistance?
