Plants that are infected must be destroyed as the disease can be transmitted from plant to plant by contaminated sap. Symptoms include dark green ink bleed marks in the veins of yellow-colored leaves, and/or tissue collapse between veins.
Exposure to EMF and cancer. Magnetic fields are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a possible cause of cancer, particularly for childhood leukemia. However, experts agree that there may be other explanations for the potential link between exposure to EMF and childhood leukemia. Until scientific evidence can clarify the link between exposure to magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines and cancer risk, you may not want your children to play directly beneath them for long periods of time.
How can hormones affect the growth of breast cancer? Hormones like estrogen and progesterone are chemicals produced by glands in the body. Normally, these hormones help regulate body cycles, like menstruation. However, sometimes these same hormones can cause cancer to grow. The pathologist will perform tests on the breast cancer cells to determine if they have receptors that feed on estrogen or progesterone, stimulating their growth.
