Malignancy cancer

However, the normal cells that line the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract, and cells of the gonads, bone marrow, hair follicles, and lymph tissue are also rapidly dividing cells and are usually affected by these drugs. Thus, antineoplastic drugs may affect normal as well as malignant (cancerous) cells.

Cesium-137 is a highly useful radioisotope that emits its radiation at a very steady and controllable rate. This makes it useful as an atomic clock because it is extremely accurate and never needs winding or a new battery. It is also useful as a radiation source for treatment of malignant cancers. Cs-137 has replaced the much more dangerous cobalt-60 as a source of radiation in industry and medicine. 

Radiums most important use is as a source of radiation in industry, medicine, and laboratories. The isotope radium-226, which is the most abundant of all the 25 isotopes and has a half-life of 1630 years, is the only useful form of the element. It is used in the medical treatment of malignant cancer growth. It kills cancer cells that have spread throughout the body.

Potent opioids act through opioid receptors in the central nervous system where they inhibit the transport of pain impulses. They are mostly used for treatment of malignant cancer pain and for post-operative pain. Severe, long-term non-malignant pain, e.g. in ischaemic leg ulcers, sometimes necessitates the use of opioids. The risk of treatment discontinuation due to adverse reactions is high.

A Michigan daily farmer, who had a history of health complaints after 1976, developed malignant cancer of the esophageal and stomach wall in 1986 the man subsequently died in 1988 (Sherman 1991). Samples of adipose tissue, collected in 1976 and 1987, revealed PBB concentrations of 0.83 and 0.85 ppm, respectively. Also detected in the fat tissue collected in 1987 were polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) at 3.57 ppm and chlordane residues at concentrations ranging from 0.018 to 0.039 ppm. 

Different stages of development in embryonic or fetal tissues and in adult tissues. For example, the fetal liver has a characteristic isozyme distribution of LDH, which changes as the organ develops into its adult form. Some enzymes of glucose catabolism in malignant (cancer) cells occur as their fetal, not adult, isozymes.
