The results of Tom's biopsy show that the tumor is cancerous.

The histologic assay showed that the sample contained cancerous cells.

After her dermatologist explained that the mole was potentially cancerous, Julia decided that it was better to be safe than sorry and made an appointment to have her beauty mark surgically removed.

Scientists say the modified T cells, injected into the patients following standard chemotherapy, homed in on the cancerous B cells inside the bone marrow, each T lymphocyte killing thousands of tumor cells.

She looked at the corpuscular mass under the microscope and was relieved to find it was not cancerous.

Several studies have found that men who take aspirin or other NSAIDs have a decreased risk of prostate cancer. The prostate is a gland and part of the male reproductive system. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota wanted to see how NSAIDs might affect prostates that are enlarged, but not cancerous. They followed the health of 2,500 men for 12 years. The researchers said these drugs may delay or stop development of an enlarged prostate. They said the risk of an enlarged prostate was 50 percent lower in the NSAID users than the other men. The risk of bladder problems was 35 percent lower.

Given the urgency of the problem, researchers have turned to stomach or bariatric surgery for diabetic patients. In two studies published recently in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers at Ohio's Cleveland Clinic report surgery that reduced the size of the stomach — typically performed to remove cancerous tumors or speed weight loss in the morbidly obese — also reversed diabetes in 40 percent of patients. Italian researchers, reporting on the results of a more radical gastric procedure, say 75 percent of diabetes patients in their study went into remission, while 95 percent were effectively cured.

On Sunday at five they operated to remove the cancerous kidney.

A pilot study conducted in 2023 by the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the Erlangen University Hospital in Germany involved 104 patients and concluded that clinical breast examinations by MTEs who were visually impaired were as accurate in identifying potentially cancerous tumors as doctors trained in this procedure.
