	Cancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cancers are classified by the type of cell that resembles the tumor and, therefore, the tissue presumed to be the origin of the tumor.
		Cancer pathology is ultimately due to the accumulation of DNA mutations that negatively effect expression of tumour suppressor proteins or positivly effect the expression of proteins that drive the cell cycle.
		Cancer screening is an attempt to detect unsuspected cancers in the population.

	Breast cancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Worldwide, it is the most common form of cancer in females, affecting approximately one out of twelve to thirteen women who reach age ninety at some stage of their life in the Western world.
		The first work on breast cancer epidemiology was done by Janet Lane-Claypon, who published a comparative study in 1926 of 500 breast cancer cases and 500 control patients of the same background and lifestyle for the British Ministry of Health.
		Further, the cancers diagnosed in women who had ever used hormonal contraceptives were less advanced than those in nonusers, raising the possibility that the small excess among users was due to increased detection.

		Studies that seemed to show a correlation had not been corrected for age; penile cancer is a disease of old men, and the old men with cancer in the studies had simply been born at a time when circumcision was less customary than when the younger men without cancer were born.
		However, the penile cancer risk is low in some uncircumcised populations, and the practice of circumcision is strongly associated with socio-ethnic factors which in turn are associated with lessened risk.
		As a cancer risk, it is at least twice as dangerous to have intact labia as an intact foreskin.

	Cancer
		Cancer cells are usually less differentiated than the normal cells of the tissue where they arose.
		Rather, evidence is accumulating that cancers arise in precursor cells — stem cells or "progenitor cells" — of the tissue: cells that are dividing by mitosis producing daughter cells that are not yet fully differentiated.
		Aneuploidy is one of the hallmarks of cancer cells suggesting that failure of the spindle checkpoint is a major step in the conversion of a normal cell into a cancerous one.

		And there is good reason for this fear -- Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States next to heart disease, and will claim more than half a million lives this year.
		Unlike infectious diseases such as AIDS, the flu (influenza), or tuberculosis, cancer is not contagious -- cancer is usually caused by genetic damage that happens inside an individual cell.
		This is important to know because many drugs used to fight cancer (antineoplastic or anticancer drugs) attack malignant cells during the active phase of cell division.
