A breast cancer cell, photographed by a scanning electron microscope, which produces a 3-dimensional images. The overall shape of the cell's surface at a very high magnification. Cancer cells are best identified by internal details, but research with a scanning electron microscope can show how cells respond in changing environments and can show mapping distribution of binding sites of hormones and other biological molecules.

Left: MRI scans of a woman with breast cancer before TIL therapy show a lesion invading the chest wall (top) and metastatic lesions in the liver (bottom). Right: Scans 14 months after treatment show all lesions have disappeared.
A novel approach to immunotherapy developed by researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) has led to the complete regression of breast cancer in a patient who was unresponsive to all other treatments. This patient received the treatment in a clinical trial led by Steven A. Rosenberg, M.D., Ph.D., chief of the Surgery Branch at NCI’s Center for Cancer Research (CCR), and the findings were published June 4, 2018 in Nature Medicine.

This is my scar from my testicular cancer. The photo is cropped, but I was covering my junk with my hand when I took the photo, so that should give you an idea of where it's at. If there is a tumor, they don't want to risk breaking it up in the body, so they cut you above the penis, clamp off the blood supply to the testicle, then pull it up through the abdomen to take a look at it. If it is a tumor, it's white and flaky — my doctor told me that it looks like fish meat. Ew.
This is a slice of a mastectomy specimen (surgical removal of a breast) showing a typical breast cancer (here, an invasive ductal carcinoma).
The appearance of this tumour is classical. I used it to illustrate the (probable) origin of the name "cancer" in the Wikipedia page for this disease: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer

I took this picture for my dear friend Barney who is fighting bone marrow cancer. I wanted to show him that people care and are rooting for him. Please help me show support in the fight against cancer. Barney is currently undergoing a bone marrow transplant - a particularly stressful process, including both chemotherapy and radiation therapy, that requires considerable BRAVERY to endure.
This bracelet is a symbol of the Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation, which is the oldest and largest patient advocate and support organization for bone marrow diseases, providing life-saving hope, knowledge, and support to hundreds of thousands of patients and their families around the world.
I hereby declare this photo to be in the Public Domain. Please upload this photo to your own photo stream to show your support for the thousands of persons who have bone marrow diseases and tag it with BRAVERY.
Oh, yeah - I have just been diagnosed with Myelodisplasia myself. With luck, I will NOT have to undergo bone marrow transplant myself.
If you are able to donate to this worthy organization, I urge you to do so. I am not connected with it in any way.
Look here and here to see other places this image has been posted.
As a two time cancer surviver, this was my first time to participate in the Relay for Life. I have lost two grandparents and several friends to this disease.But thanks be to God,He brought me and several of my friends and relatives through it.

No colors were changed in this photo. The glove was actually pink and when I showed my wife the photo she said "wow that would be a great breast cancer awareness photo". So here is how it turned out.

Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor.

Last week I had my quarterly appointment with my Hematologist. I was in a good mood as I had seen my blood test results the week before, showing my cancer levels continuing to drop. He said he was very happy with my overall health as I’m responding very well to my chemo treatment. I received a new requisition form for bloodwork for the next 2 years and I only have to have my big monthly (e.g. Week 43, Week 47) blood test now, which shows my cancer levels + overall response to treatment.
The small monthly blood test (e.g. Week 45), which only shows my overall response to treatment has been cancelled, as tests every 2 weeks are excessive, when the results aren’t likely to show problems. I took this photo this morning as it was heavily raining. I was fortunate to find a covered spot to place my camera so it wouldn’t get wet.
To recap: I have multiple myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the blood plasma. It is treatable, but incurable. On Sunday, January 10th I completed Cycle 12 Week 4 of my four week treatment cycle. I have 21 days on (Pomalyst chemo pill) and then 7 days off. In addition, I take dexamethasone, an oral steroid, every Monday.
