<p style="text-align: justify;">Breast Cancer is the very complicated disease of Women’s. The most common disease can affect women’s at stage from 20 to 50. Herceptin is the top brand name of a medicine called trastuzumab. The trastuzumab is mainly helps to reduce the size of the tumor and fully stop the growing level of breast cancer. It may useful in fighting cancer of the breast and removing from the surface the cell.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This medicine is also very costly. Herceptin have many benefits on people who have high levels of HER2 Protein. HER2 was found on the some breast cancer cells. HER Protein regulates cell survival, growth, migration, adhesion and differentiation. This is given by a drip into a vein. The basic step of the Herceptin’s effectiveness is binds to the HER2 Protein and the immune natural killer cells are attracted to Herceptin.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At Herceptin, offers easily determine which cells are unconditional and help to kill them. It also provides some side effects of HER2 Protein,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">•	Chest pain<br />
•	Heart problems<br />
•	Aches and pains<br />
•	Cough and shortness of breath<br />
•	Diarrhea<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">At CyMap, a Lens free microscope launched by UK Cancer Research Scientists. It has won the first prize of the Medical and Health category is “ The Engineer’s Technology and Innovation Awards” on Friday Dec 4th. This cell imaging system is very compact, used to quantify the medical samples in research laboratories.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The CyMap technology employs light to illuminate cells which provide light diffractions that can also be completely recorded by a single optical detector. It enables to researchers to find the number of cells in a sample.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to their research consultant, “CyMap can transform existing systems by enabling imaging capability where it was past too expensive, and open the door to the creation of amazing new stand alone devices”.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The technology of CyMap lens-free microscope is robust, cheap and simple. It’s having become more sophisticated in helping doctors and scientists to understand cell changes. CyMap was developed in the research to monitoring the cell movements like cancer cells and also be used in diagnostic settings. It is currently available to be licensed through Cancer Research Technology (CRT) &#8211; Cancer Research UK’s commercialization and development arm.</p>
