Factors Affecting Cancer and Heart Disease Mortality Rates
[ send me this paper ]
A 30 page paper discussing separately factors affecting the mortality rates of heart disease and cancer, then comparing lifestyle factors that can apply to both in reducing those mortality rates. Cardiovascular disease is the nation's number-one killer; cancer comes in at number two. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease are more controllable from the individual's point of view than are those of cancer, which includes several life events and conditions over which the individual has no control. Those most at risk in the US are the poor, and particularly the poor minorities. For either cardiovascular disease or for cancer, early detection is the most effective of all control measures. Bibliography lists 30 sources.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Heamotopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing transplants of stem cells from both bone marrow and peripheral blood. Bone marrow transplant is still the most aggressive form of cancer treatment and is often necessary following high dose chemotherapy and radiation for the eradication of certain cancerous conditions. Such high-dose treatments destroy the patient's bone marrow, the site of all blood production, along with their targeted cancers. Now used in treatment of other diseases as well, the autologous bone marrow transplant in which the patient is his own donor is far more common than is the allogeneic transplant in which another person donates bone marrow to the patient. Increasingly, peripheral blood stem cell harvest and transplant is used either in place of or in addition to the autologous bone marrow transplant, and the pre-treatment patient may soon not be his only possible donor as the use of stem cells harvested from umbilical cord blood is more heavily investigated. Bibliography lists 41 sources.

Stem Cell Therapy
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page paper discussing the stem cell aspect of chemotherapy. Stem cells are the progenitor cells of all types of blood cells, including the white blood cells that combat infection and invasion, and red blood cells that supply nourishment to all the tissues of the body. They primarily reside in the bone marrow, but some also can be found circulating in the blood. Cancer chemotherapy depresses bone marrow activity so that fewer blood cells are produced. Stem cell therapy involves harvesting bone marrow prior to chemotherapy treatment, then reintroducing it following treatment so that blood cell production can occur at optimum rates. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
