Cancerdefine is one of the most potent diseases and claims millions of lives around the globe every year. Certain kinds of cancer typically affect women only. Here’s themedguru’s low-down on these lady-killers…
A cancerdefine is a state of abnormal growth and replication of cells in the body at a certain point. The cell division is a highly regulated process with the new cells getting formed only when the old cells die. However, this process can go off track at times with the continuous growth of new cells at a rate higher than the cell death rate. Thus, the extra cell mass is formed in a tissue or an organ which is called a tumor.

Heart attack is one of the major causes of women’s death after breast cancerdefine and poses a great threat to women. At least one in three women dies of heart disease or stroke. The fact is that women are as much vulnerable to a heart attack as men.
While heart disease becomes significantly prevalent among women after they reach menopause, it can and does affect younger women too. According to the American Heart Association, heart disease kills about 16,000 young women and accounts for 40,000 hospitalizations in young women in U.S. every year. So, women of all ages need to become aware of it and take steps to prevent heart disease.

Diabetes has a unique impact on the lives of adolescents and requires constant monitoring of blood sugar levels, medication and effects of food and activity. With careful management by diabetologists, nutritionists, and psychologists, and with support from parents, these young people can lead full and healthy lives.
The International Diabetes Federation (IDF)’s World Diabetes Day campaign focuses this year on children and adolescents with diabetes. According to IDF, children and adolescents with diabetes face a lifetime of living with a disease that poses particular challenges for them. These struggles include higher insulindefine insensitivity linked to puberty, rapid behavioural changes, increased risk of depressiondefine, anxiety, and low self-esteem and transition to adult services.

Letter to the Editor
Mrs. Ishpreet Bindra,
Hello! My name is Veronica Leech and I live in Arizona. I would like to write to you about the abortion rates increasing for normally teenagers who are not expecting to raise a new baby. I chose this topic because I am a very religious person and I feel that abortion is wrong. It is killing a human. Abortion may not be planned by the majority of individuals to get pregnant unexpectedly, but it should not be allowed. When pregnancy occurs, then a person should be responsible for the baby that they have created. I strongly feel that abortion may be okay in rape situations, but I would recommendend that a person still keep the baby. It would be hard, but it worth it.
Also, I have some suggestions for women who get pregnant and decide to abort the fetus. The pregnant women should consult a psychologist and talk about her situation because maybe she is mentally weak and needs help. Another suggestion would be for the person to make plans to keep the baby by thinking about how the baby would be beneficial to her life as opposed to a nightmare. Pregnancy is a gift and not supposed to be ruined by abortion. Lastly, a pregnant women should understand that she made that decision, so she should be responsible for her decision. (Speaking to the father of the baby would really make matters a lot easier). Thank you for all you time. I look forward to hearing from you. God Bless.
