Stem cells found in the bone marrow are crucial for our health because they are needed to become new blood cells that sustain and protect our bodies. But when the transformation goes wrong, harmful mutations can cause the cells to start replicating without control -- a type of cancer known as leukemia. Danilo Allegra and Dania Puggioni explain how this happens and how certain treatments provide hope for those suffering from the disease. 

Lesson by Danilo Allegra and Dania Puggioni, animation by Zedem Media.

How does cancer spread? Once a cancer gets to a certain size it needs its own blood supply to get oxygen and nutrients to be able to grow. Find out how a tumour gets a blood supply and how cancers can spread through the blood system.

Ovarian Teratoma - Monsters Inside Me Ep1

Have you ever wondered how cancer grows? Take a close look at the cancer cell division in this realistic 3D animation. Compare and contrast healthy animal cell division to unregulated cancer cell division side-by-side for a deeper understanding of cancer tumor growth. The animated daily timer provides a real-time update on the total number of daughter cells produced during healthy and cancer cell division. This multifaceted and visceral video communicates the aggressive nature of this disease and identifies unregulated cell division as the underlying mechanic of cancer.

http://www.nucleusinc.com/medical-animations This 3D medical animation describes the process of intensity modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT, including the use of CT scans and the linac machine. Intensity modeled radiation therapy is a procedure used to treat certain forms of cancer, to kill cancer or control cancer growth. Cells in the body grow and divide as part of the normal cell cell cycles, when cells become cancerous however they can continue to grow uncontrollably. Radiation can be used to kill cancer. Intensity modulated radiation therapy can be used to deliver a higher does of radiation to the the cancer cells while sparing the healthy tissue around the cancer cells.

Cancer Treatment: IMRT (Radiation Therapy)

Cancer claims the lives of hundreds of thousands every year. So why can't we find a cure? What makes this disease nearly impossible to beat? Join Hank Green as he explains why it's harder than it looks, and what we CAN do in this new episode of SciShow!
