Surgery remains a mainstay in the treatment of many forms of cancer, but it is no longer used in diagnosis due to the risks associated with surgery and improved nonsurgical diagnostic methods. True False

Here, Research a cancer caused by an oncogenic virus.  how the virus disrupts normal cell function and causes cancer to develop.  What risk factors exist that make individuals more susceptible to this type of disease? Are there any preventative measures that can be taken to mitigate the risk of contracting this disease? What therapies are available or being developed that combat this disease?  what are the methods of action for all therapies available. ?

Determine the key cancer program inputs or resources

1. (a) Define placebo (b) Suppose there is a new drug targeting a type of cancer and the clinical trials are to be done with cancer patients, outline and explain the potential set-up of the evaluation for effect of the new drug. (Hint: The set-up should not jeopardize the patients receiving a placebo.)

Our government has finite funds to devote to cancer research.Discuss which of the following areas of research you think shouldreceive the most funding.A. Identifying and characterizing oncogenes and tumorsuppressorgenesB. Identifying agents in our environment that cause cancerC. Identifying viruses that cause cancer                                                            D. Devising methods aimed at killing cancer cells in the bodyE. Informing the public of the risks involved in exposure tocarcinogensIn the long run, in which of these areas would you expect successfulresearch to be the most effective in decreasing human mortalitydue to cancer?

1. Describe & explain the pathophysiology of cancer based on the diagram. Reference: https://www.onlinebiologynotes.com/cancer-etiology-pathophysiology-types-diagnosis-and- treatment/ Acquired (environmental) DNA damaging agents: • chemical • radiation viruses Activation of growth- promoting oncogenes NORMAL CELL DNA Damage Failure of DNA repair Mutations in the genome of somatic cells Alteration of genes that regulate apoptosis Malignant neoplasm / Successful DNA repair CANCER Inherited mutations: • Genes affecting DNA repair • Genes affecting cell growth Expression of altered gene products and loss of regulatory gene products Inactivation of cancer suppresor genes Clonal expansion Additional mutations (progression) T Heterogeneity

Describe the progression of cancer from an early benign lesion to a genetically heterogeneous malignant tumour and how this knowledge is used to design current and future antineoplastic treatments    pleaswe can you write it in a detailed essay structure as i am trying to understand the topic in extensive detil and essays help me seperate different sections of the topic
