Could Fish Oil Potentially Eradicate Leukaemia? By: David McEvoy | - The results of a new trial just published in the Journal Blood, has outlined how a compound found in fish oil may in future be able to eradicate the blood cancer known as leukaemia .
In laboratory experiments at Pennsylvania State University, researchers found that a component of fish oil known as Delta-12-J3 Prostaglandin or D12PGJ3 can selectively target the stem cells of chronic myelogenous leukaemia or CML.
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare cancer of the blood. It affects B cells, a type of white blood cell (lymphocyte).
Causes
HCL is caused by the abnormal growth of B cells. The cells can look "hairy" under the microscope because they have fine projections coming from their surface.
HCL can lead to low numbers of normal blood cells.

Leukemia - The Most Misunderstood Cancer By: Roberto Sedycias | - Most people perceive Leukemia as being cancer of the blood. This is partly true, but it is a lot more than that. It actually starts in the tissue that produces blood, resulting in abnormal white cells. These don't die as normal blood cells do, and swamp the normal red and white cells and also the platelets, making these cells difficult to do their jobs. These abnormal white cells are actually called Leukemia cells and if they carry on crowding out the normal cells and platelets cause the untimel ... Tags:leukemia, cancer

What Is Cancer? By: Ambreen R | - The term Cancer refers to any one of a large number of diseases in which a group of cells show an abnormal development with an uncontrollable division beyond the normal limits. They have the ability to intrude and destroy adjacent body tissues. Cancer cells have the ability to spread throughout the body via lymph and blood, thus destroying the healthy tissues (process known as invasion).
The Hold Cancer Has On Our Society By: Dee Braun | - The term cancer covers a wide range of diseases where cells begin to grow abnormally. The DNA of normal cells become damaged and they begin to divide into new cancerous cells. As these cells grow and divide the normal and healthy tissue is replaced and the risk of it spreading to other parts of the body greatens. When cancer spreads to other parts of the body the doctors call this metastasis. Many times, a tumor or cancer riddled tissue develops. Leukemia is an example of a disease where there i ...

Who Is The Fda Trying To Protect?. By: Andrew Schorr | - I'll be the first to say the folks at the FDA have a hard job. It is their responsibility to protect the public safety and certainly not subject those of us who are ill to drugs that offer false hope or tremendous risk.
