While celebrating the new coming year 2010, I am going to end up the year 2009 with my 30^th blog post in this Cytogenetics and Cancer Research blog. I started this blog on 16^th of October with the first post about What is Cytogenetics. I have put a lot of efforts to develop and organize this blog so that people around me can really get benefits from my writing. Today, I am going to make a roundup for this 2 months and 21 days old blog.

Cancer Research: How Cancer Cell Spread to Other Cell?

“Cancer research is the study of abnormal cells. The malignant cancer cells will harm to our body and invade to other adjacent cells. We discover that these malignant cells can infiltrate to the surrounding tissue through the lymphatics and blood vessels.”
 
I noticed that people prefer to know how cancer cell spread to other cell in my blog. This topic is the top searched in my blog for almost every day. I will try to write more about this in 2010.

Cigarette Smoking – Primary Risk Factor for Lung Cancer

“Cigarette smoking is the primary risk factor for lung cancer. The cancer research shows that the risk of getting the lung cancer is higher among the cigarette smokers than the non-smokers.”
 
I am so surprised that this post had been listed in the top 200 of controversial article in Reddit.com at the day I posted it. I don’t think this is good news for me. However, I am so happy that this article had been highlighted in the world and hopefully it can increase the awareness of people regarding to the lung cancer.

• Cytogenetic Studies in Malignancy Cancer

I think I never mention about the relationship between cytogenetics and cancer research in this blog. Cytogenetic studies are proven that can assist to define the diagnosis and deliver clear prognostic differences in cancer. There are many cytogenetic studies of malignancy have been gone through and most of them are related to hematologic disorders. However, those studies constitute only small percentage of all cancer malignancies.
 

Clinical Value of Cytogenetic Studies in Malignancy Cancer

Recently, there has been a significant progress in knowledge of the recurrent abnormalities in many of solid tumors as well as hematologic malignancies. Consequently, the clinical value of cytogenetic studies in cancer malignancy has been appreciated after the cytogenetic studies of some solid tumors moving out of cancer research environment.
 
Apart from this, there would be little clinical value in doing cytogenetic studies in cancer malignancy if all the patients with a particular cancer died. The researchers only manage to probe the origins of cancer for those patients. However, after researching in all tumors type by using cytogenetic technique, the presence or absence of many of the genetic abnormalities found has been related to different responses to treatment. Since that, the genetic and cytogenetic studies start to be recognized as important and one of the best choices of treatment for a cancer patient.
 

Cytogenetic Studies Helps Diagnostic Investigation in Malignancy Cancer

Consequently, cytogenetic analysis of cancer malignancy is considered to provide rapid, accurate and specific results to aid the clinical professionals. This can help to choose the most appropriate type of treatment to the cancer patient in shorter time. However, John Swansbury stated that the diagnosis of a malignancy can be traumatic, and an accurate and early indication of every patient’s prognosis is valuable.
 
In conclusion, a cytogenetic study remains an essential part of diagnostic investigations of every patient with hematologic malignancy and certain solid tumors without denying the valuable contributions made by other genetic assays.
