Cancer is uncontrolled cell growth. Cellular checkpoint deal with both endogenous and exogenous sources of DNA damage. Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery help cure cancer. Chemotherapy is a pill that is used to kill the double cells.

Although chemotherapy also kills off some important cells such as skin, hair, intestines, and bone marrow. The effects of killing off important cells are hair loss, nausea and vomiting, infection, easy brusing and bleeding. It depends on what kind of cancer to have for how long you have to stay on chemotherapy. Radiation is used to kill off cancer cells and slow down the growth of the cells. Most people who end up with cancer use

51,000 people died in 2010 because of lund and rectal cancer. Another type of cancer that kills is breast cancer. The cancer usally forms in the glands that produce the milk in women. It has killed 37,000 lives in 2010. Breast cancer can be treated by chemotherapy, and targeted thearapy.

Chemotherapy is killing off cells and targeted thearapy stop cancer cells from growing and spreading. Targeted thearapy is a type of chemotherapy but is often used by itself.

If breast cancer is not treated maglinant cells may spread beyond the original tumor to other parts of the body in a process called metastasis. It is the most common non-skin cancer disease among women. One in eight women will develop breat cancer during there lifetime. More into the treatment of breast cancer. The treatment for breast cancer depends on what stage the patient has for breast cancer. For breast cancer you could have different surgeries such as mammaplasty, tissue expansion, lymph node dissection, lumpectomy, and mastectomy. Mammaplasty is plastic surgery to increase or reduce the size of the breast or reconstruct both or one breast. Tissue expansion is when they take a balloon is insert it under the skin and then slowly expand it to

A Mastectomy is when they surgectly remove some or all of the breast. There are also many symptoms of breast cancer. In the breast there could cause discomfort, inverted nipple, lumpd,or nipple discharge. There is also common symptoms such as redness, or swollen lymph nodes. Breast cancer can happen in women but rarely man. The most common age that breast cancer occurs is in ages forty one and up. Breast cancer happens to anyone at anytime all over the world. Now breast cancer isn’t always a tumor in the breast it could also be something else. Fun fact if you hit a women hard enough in the breast it could cause them breast cancer, so if you ever hit a women in the breast make sure there okay. Breast cancer is usally passed down through the genes. For example say a women had a child and later on got breast cancer. Then most likely the womens daughter if the women had one would likely get breast cancer. Researchers all around the world study breast cancer to come up with other treatments besides chemotherapy, lazer therapy, and surgery. There also charitys around the world that help people may for there surgerys because cancer is not cheap. Treatments in USA are chemotherapy, lazer surgery, and
