Health Services and Facilitates Planning for Cancer: An Australian SWS LHD Protocol

Health Services and Facilitates Planning
Page | 1

Executive summary
Cancer as a global concern, that is captivating the world with its second highest rates of
morbidity, whereas treatments are less active and expensive in regard to general population.
Though higher income countries are still managed to survive from this burning situation with
innovative techniques and methods but whereas people of lower income countries are failed to
deal with the situation. This particular report in the light of the Australian SWS LHD protocol is
about to brings up the course knowledge and experience in demographic overview as well as its
control over the death rates are discussed in this contextual aspect. The approach of thestrategic
and healthcare service plan are discussed in this report and the updated health care guidance are
also discussed in this regard.

Introduction
Abnormal growth or un-necessary growth of cells in a particular region of a physiological system
developstumor and proliferate to the different parts of the body via blood or lymphatic drainage
leads to necrosis followed by metastasis and then cancer. Unwanted proliferation of cells occurs
due to uncontrolled celldivision. The molecular basis implies that sudden failure of the cell cycle
checkpoint proteins leads to cause cell division in an uncontrolled way followed by growth of
tumorsotherwise those unwanted cells will get damaged or destroyed by apoptosis. Cell cycle
inhibition ata certain point may lead to resist the development in cancer. Though there are
several genetic over view hasbeen established for this disease but the actual reason of cancer and
its treatments are still unknown. There are several types of cancer present in vivo which are
given in the following figure.

These all are very common types of cancer that are prevalent in the world with valid dominance.
Cancer cells are physiologically not irregular from the normal cells but functionally they are
extensively different from the normal cell. Comparative analysis of the cancer as well as normal
cells are given in the under mentioned figure (2).
