Many manufacturers insist their tanning beds are safer than tanning outside, but studies indicate this is not the case. One study states, "Modern tanning beds emit amounts of UVA that are two to three times higher than the amount received from natural sunlight" (Palmer et al
In clinical trials, this treatment improved survival rates of melanoma patients by 50%" (Goff 28). In addition, interferon (IFN), and new derivatives of the drug, have shown great progress in treating certain forms of skin cancer, and in preventing these types of cancers from recurring (Price 8)
It is also the most common form of cancer, so more needs to be done to educate people about the dangers of skin cancer to help control the disease and its spread. In 1993, it was estimated that 700,000 new cases of skin cancer would be diagnosed (Sherry 81), and every year the numbers get larger, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, a worldwide group working to treat and prevent the disease
Review of Related Studies "Autophagy is a self degradation process that can mediate cell death as well as survival. Autophagy induced during starvation, growth factor deprivation, hypoxia, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and microbial infection can prevent cell death" (Singh, Sharma, Mir, et al

" However, recent studies have proposed that cell phone use does not cause cancer. Some researchers argue that the link between cell phones and cancer is nonexistent (Kolata, 2000)
" Still, even though customers are aware of the risks, phone sales continue to increase. Experts advise that studies that say there are no proven inks between cancer and cell phones are not the definitive answer to the debate on the health effects of cell phone use (Dwyer, 2000)
Cell Phones and Cancer In today's innovative era of technological breakthroughs, we enjoy many benefits of technology, which give us the power to get things done faster, enjoy greater convenience, and have access to wonderful tools that improve all areas of life (Siepmann, 2004)
If, however, the dividing cells mange to affect the surrounding layers of tissues, then it is said that the cells are 'malignant' or cancerous. (Oncology Channel, Ovarian Cancer) Sometimes it so happens that the cancerous cells break away from the original tumor and end up in another entirely different part of the body
In the case when one small part of the tumor is removed to ascertain the presence of cancer cells within the ovary, the part removed is sent for 'biopsy'. (Ovarian Cancer, Staging) This step not only helps the physician ascertain the presence of cancer but would also help him to discuss the various treatment methods that are available for the treatment of cancer with the patient
"PRECEDE (Predisposing, Reinforcing, and Enabling Constructs in Educational Diagnosis and Evaluation) outlines a diagnostic planning process to assist in the development of targeted and focused public health programs. PROCEED (Policy, Regulatory, and Organizational Constructs in Educational and Environmental Development) guides the implementation and evaluation of the programs designed using Precede" (Green and Mercer, 2002)
¶ … Breast Cancer Detection Rural women are predominantly at a greater risk of dying from breast cancer, because they are not afforded the advantage of screening procedures that are readily available to their urban counterparts. The purpose of this study is to develop an intervention model is to explore the characteristics of rural women who attended a free breast health program that included self breast examination education and free mammography in order to determine how to better improve intervention strategies to strengthen breast health in rural women (Lane and Martin, 2005)

The tissues are then taken to a microscope where they are observed to see if there are any cancer cells present. Biopsies can be done either on outpatient basis or using local anesthesia depending on the location of the tumor (Mandal, 2010)
This invasion is a very serious step as I is an indication that the growing cells can be life threatening. While the cancer still remains as a single lump in the tissue where it began and also in the neighboring tissue it is said to be at a localized stage (Armstrong, 2012)
Adding to this is the presence of a LINE-1 insertion close to c-myc present in all tumor samples. If this hypothesis is correct, an animal's tumor cells should be genetically clustered and different from normal cells of a host animal (Dingli, & Nowak, 2009, p
The former occurs after the recognition of the virus infected or damaged cells by the T-cells and in attempt to prevent neoplastic or cancerous development of spreading of the infection by the cells which have been infected by virus apoptosis is initiated. The granzyme can also be used to induce apoptosis by cytotoxic T-lympocytes (Franks, 1991, p
In necrosis the cell death which is uncontrolled results in cells lysis, responses which are inflammatory and which could lead to grave health problems. In apoptosis, the cells play an important role in their own death and have led to the use of the term cell suicide (Henkart, 1999)
In most cases the experiencing of extended and complex succession of events by people who have lived long enough leads to them experiencing the disease. This is because each change is usually not common but a rare accident which needs years to occur, and a long time is required by the whole process and most people die due to other causes before the whole process of cancer development is complete (Lodish, 2004, p
The cell's error repairing ability is damaged in the DNA. Therefore there is a high frequency of mutations to appear in the cells consisting of those in cell growth control by genes (Michor F, & Nowak, 2004, p
