	Imaginis - What is Breast Cancer?
		Usually, cancer is named after the body part in which it originated; thus, breast cancer refers to the erratic growth and proliferation of cells that originate in the breast tissue.
		Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women between 40 and 55 years of age and is the second overall cause of death among women (exceeded only by lung cancer).

	PA-04-035: CIRCULATING CELLS IN CANCER DETECTION
		With the advent of PCR-based detection of DNA from rare neoplastic cells in body fluids, mutations have been detected in ras genes from the stools of patients with colorectal cancer, in p53 from the urine of patients with bladder cancer, and in p53 genes in the sputum of patients with lung cancer.
		However, the detection of abnormal exfoliated cells, for instance, cancer cells by routine cytopathological examination may be limited because the number of abnormal cells may be very small compared to the number of normal cells, is difficult.
		During the early stages of cancer development, there is a window of opportunity to detect precancerous cells with genetic or molecular biomarkers that identify and characterize their progression towards cancer.

		In the cancer cell culture, NFkB activity was 2.5 times greater than that in the breast cell culture, but when TM was added to the disk, NFkB activity went down almost twice as much in cancer cells as in normal cells.
