Examples of solid tumors are sarcomas, carcinomas, and lymphomas. Leukemias cancers of the blood generally do not form solid tumors. Squamous cell carcinomas SCCs represent the most frequent human solid tumors and a major cause of cancer mortality.
These highly heterogeneous tumors arise from closely interconnected epithelial cell populations with intrinsic self-renewal potential inversely related to the stratified differentiation program. Carcinomas and sarcomas are two of the main types of cancer. While they sound similar, they affect different parts of the body. Carcinomas are the most common type of cancer, while sarcomas are relatively rare. Delays between tumor recognition by a patient to diagnosis were between 1 and 3 years in most cases.
However, in three cases of synovial sarcoma, it took more than 10 years to reach a diagnosis, and in another case of synovial sarcoma, it took more than 5 years. Stage IV soft tissue sarcoma A sarcoma is considered stage IV when it has spread to distant parts of the body. Stage IV sarcomas are rarely curable. But some patients may be cured if the main primary tumor and all of the areas of cancer spread metastases can be removed by surgery. Table of Contents.

The sinking of the Lusitania heightened tensions between the U. In , divers led by National Geographic's Bob Ballard explored the wreck of the Lusitania , situated eight miles off the coast of Ireland.
On board, the divers found approximately four million U. The discovery supports the German's long-held belief that the Lusitania was being used to transport war materials.
The find has also fed support for the theory that it was the explosion of munitions on board that caused the second explosion on the Lusitania. However, the shells contained neither powder, propellant charge, nor fuses. Further, Ballard's thorough survey of the wreck showed no evidence of an internal explosion near the munitions. Other theories have included a boiler explosion or a steam-line explosion, but the most likely explanation is there were probably several explosions.

Unfortunately, he got the date of the sinking from an incorrect newspaper account which gave May 5th as the date and this went on the first few medallions.
They agreed to do so, and the medals were sold all over the world in neutral countries, especially in America and South America. After some initial difficulty a great success was achieved.
I believe it to have been one of the best pieces of propaganda. Gerard, recounted in his memoirs his fabricated story that in Germany, schoolchildren had been given a school holiday to celebrate the sinking of the Lusitania.
This was a complete falsehood. Very few people in Germany ever saw the medallion. Some claim that the release of the fake medal had a dual purpose. Sir Roger Casement was an Irish nationalist leader hanged for high treason in after returning to Ireland from Germany where he had been soliciting aid.
This and the bloody suppression of the Easter Rising, an Irish attempt to wrest independence from Britain, along with repressive British actions in India, had turned much US opinion against the British and also acted to unite Irish-American groups.
By , however, Wilson came out of his closet. One notable exception to the prevailing view on the sinking of the Lusitania was Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan who urged compromise and restraint. He believed that the US should try to persuade the British to abandon their food blockade and limit their mine-laying operations at the same time the Germans be persuaded to curtail their submarine campaign. He also suggested that the US government issue an explicit warning against US citizens travelling on any belligerent ships.
Bryan resigned as Secretary of State rather than sign what he considered to be an overly stern and one-sided diplomatic note to Germany and this left Wilson with key foreign policy advisers who were all pro-Ally. While the Lusitania was instrumental as propaganda, the sinking of another ship provided the final excuse Wilson eventually used to bring the US to war against Germany.
Wilson informed Congress that a German submarine violated international law and sank the French steamer Sussex in the English channel when, on a crossing to Dieppe in March , the ship was mistaken for a minelayer and torpedoed, killing US citizens aboard the ship.
This was not true. The Sussex did not sink, but managed to limp into a French port. He had no comments regarding British violations. When the Lusitania was launched, she was intended to be the largest, fastest ship ever built, doing better than 25 knots at top speed. Britain had enjoyed naval superiority since , but was gravely impacted by the popularity and financial success of the German luxury liners of Hamburg-Amerika and Norddeutscher Lloyd, and she hoped that Lusitania would restore her sagging reputation.
Her maiden voyage was on September 7, and for the next nine years, the Lusitania crossed the Atlantic times. Her st voyage on May 7, would be her last. When the wreck was investigated in modern salvage operations in the summer of , indeed, it showed that it had been struck by only one torpedo and that it had been tampered with extensively.
The wreck lies in just feet of water, making it relatively easy to visit. Then, in the midst of all of this, there was the convenient issue of the Zimmermann Telegram. Instead, Merchant Ships would be searched and sunk only if they contained contraband, and then only after safe passage had been provided for the crew and passengers.
The German guarantees were honored for a year until they found their position militarily untenable since the USA was obviously not neutral. The public announcement of their resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare was on February 1, On April 2, Wilson addressed Congress and begged them to declare war against Germany, which it did on April 6.
