Prostate Cancer

Epidemiology:
The second most deadly male cancer with a very variable worldwide distribution: in the US , the Afro-American affliction rate reaches 25%, while in Asia the rate lies between 3-5%. The incidence varies from 1 to 100: there are 100 times more prostate cancers among Californians than among Shangai Chinese (but the Los Angeles Chinese demonstrate a much higher rate). Thus there are genetic factors and environment factors that remain to be discovered. This cancer is nevertheless decreasing, 180 000 cases per year, they were double 10 years ago, with a mortality of 40 000.Prostate cancer has also a very long latency: after autopsy, cancer damage is discovered in 45% of men.The "true" cancer, with clinical signs, is found at about age 70: this is a disease of the elderly. The evolution is slow, the tumor volume doubles every 4 years.



The cancer growth
this is a cancer from a gland. Born in one or several points of this gland, it develops in the fat surrounding the prostate: capsular invasion, then the bladder, seminal passages, and bordering nodes. The metastases are bone in 90% cases.

The symptoms
  • hesitancy in urinating, urgency, especially during night, incomplete voiding, stream weakness; sometimes blood in urine or sperm.
  • bone pains; signalling extension to skeleton; pains in legs, hips, backbone.

The diagnosis
  • clinical examination: digital palpation of rectum by trained professional;
  • the tumor markers: the PSA assay: the cut-off is 4.0 ng/ml. When level is between 4 and 10 ng/ml, there is doubt: there can be a benign prostatic hyperplasia (adenoma). The difference between cancer or benign condition can be greatly helped by measuring the FPSA (free PSA ) and ratio FPSA/ PSA : normally, it is higher than 0,25: the lower the ratio, the higher the risk for cancer.]
  • transrectal ultrasound.
  • instrument biopsies, for evaluation of the location and size of the tumor. Since they are not without risk, these biopsies often can be avoided with the FPSA assay.

The treatment
it depends on the tumor stage when discovered: whether localised (limited to capsular invasion), or enlarged. Some medical teams advise just a simple surveillance for limited forms; this does not mean exemption from treatment, and in particular, hormone therapy.
  • surgery: radical prostatectomy, or partial prostatectomy;
  • radiation: huge advances in machines and protocols;
  • hormone therapy: aimed at lowering the testosterone level: this is hormonal ablation. Meaning impotence and hot flashes;
  • chemotherapy: rarely used.

The post-treatment follow-up
  • clinical exams;
  • ultrasound;
  • PSA and FPSA assays. After prostatectomy, the PSA level comes to 0. Any PSA increase signals recurrence.

Prevention
much controversial, this is a choice for each individual and his Doctor: this is your concern.
It means regular rectal exams, and PSA /FPSA dosages.

WARNING : should you have any ANTI-AGING treatment, using in particular the DHEA, you should MAKE SURE there is no underlying prostate cancer. "No one should take DHEA except under the supervision of a physician, who should routinely check steroid and cholesterol levels, glucose tolerance, and prostate health in men," says John Nestle, MD, professor of endocrinology and metabolism at Virginia Commonwealth University , who studies DHEA's effects on diabetes and blood clotting.

Mesothelioma

Introduction to What is Mesothelioma?
Beware with Mesothelioma . Mesothelioma is the term used to describe a cancerous tumor found in the mesothelial cells of an organ. The organs where this form of cancer is most commonly found are the lungs, heart and abdominal organs. Pleural Mesothelioma is cancer of the lung lining and is the most common form of Mesothelioma.

Did you know causes of Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is often found in building materials used before the mid 1970's. In addition, materials such as pipes, boiler insulation, floor, ceiling and roof tiles may contain asbestos.




How much asbestos exposure will cause Mesothelioma?

Generally, the probability of developing this form of cancer is in accordance with the length of time you are exposed to asbestos. Also, your health is at risk if your exposure to asbestos is intense. It should be noted that Mesothelioma has a latency period of 20 to 50 years. This means that you may develop the disease long after your exposure to asbestos. On average, people tend to develop Mesothelioma somewhere between 35 and 40 years after exposure.

Mesothelioma progress slow or fast?

The onset of Mesothelioma is quite slow. Patients will begin to experience symptoms such as lower back pain and chest pain. These symptoms may also be accompanied by weight loss, fever and difficulty breathing. Unfortunately, once Mesothelioma develops, it quickly becomes aggressive and treatment must be sought immediately.

Can Mesothelioma be treated and will be normally?

Doctors are able to use several traditional methods of cancer treatment for Mesothelioma, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Like all forms of cancer, detecting the disease at the earliest stage possible greatly increases the patient's chances for survival. If you have worked in an industry such as construction or suspect that you may have been exposed to asbestos, be alert for symptoms and contact your doctor immediately.

What legal courses of action can be taken?

Anyone suffering from Mesothelioma is entitled to compensation from asbestos manufacturers. Additionally, if you are the spouse or child of someone who has died from Mesothelioma, you are entitled to file a claim and seek compensation.

Asbestos can cause serious illness

For this topic I will share with you about Asbestos. Asbestos has been shown to cause a number of serious diseases, its very-very serious .These include cancers, such as mesothelioma and lung cancer, and other non-malignant lung diseases such as asbestosis, pleural plaques and pleural thickening.

Did you know what in asbestos. Asbestos was a common building material. Asbestos is the name given to a number of naturally occurring fibrous silicate minerals. It is strong and heat resistant, which is why it has been widely used in a range of products.

Asbestos has been used in roofing, asbestos cement sheets and pipes, clutch and brake linings, insulation, building materials, boilers, electrical fittings, gaskets, floor tiles, plastics, textiles and other products.




Asbestos fibers can cause health problems if they are breathed in. The body will remove most fibers that are breathed in, but some may get trapped in the lungs and cause disease many years later. Breathing in asbestos fibers can sometimes lead to:
  1. Asbestosis
  2. Lung cancer
  3. Pleural disorders
  4. Malignant mesothelioma.

Asbestosis
Asbestosis is not a cancer. It is a chronic and progressive lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers over a long period of time. It may take five to 20 years before symptoms develop. The accumulated, inhaled asbestos fibers produce scarring (fibrosis) of the lung. The lung develops a ‘honeycomb’ appearance. The scar tissue, or ‘fibrosis’, is hard and inflexible; this makes the lungs stiffen and stops them working properly.

Asbestosis causes breathlessness, tightness in the chest, persistent coughing and the skin may have a bluish tinge from lack of oxygen. Getting enough oxygen from each breath needs a much greater effort. Asbestosis usually worsens over time. It can lead to respiratory failure and death. There is no cure for this disease.

Lung cancer
for the last chapter I had show you the Lung Cancer. People exposed to large amounts of asbestos fibers over a long period of time have a significant risk of developing lung cancer. The risk is many times greater in people who also smoke. The tumors, if not treated early, spreads through the lung and eventually to other parts of the body. It is usually diagnosed when someone develops a persistent cough, weight loss and coughs up blood. It usually takes 10 to 20 years for lung cancer to develop after asbestos exposure.

Pleural disorders
The pleura is the tissue that lines the chest cavity and covers the surface of the lungs. Asbestos may produce thickened patches on the pleura (pleural plaques) or a widespread fibrosis of the pleura and pleural effusions (fluid in the chest cavity). These conditions will show up on chest x-rays but they are not cancerous. They may not cause symptoms but will reduce lung capacity as shown in lung function tests.

Malignant mesothelioma
This rare cancer affects the pleura, the outer covering of the lungs. It is strongly associated with past exposure to asbestos. The tumors begins in the pleura and spreads to the lung and chest wall. There is no cure currently available. It can take 30 to 40 years after exposure to asbestos to develop and diagnose.

Australia has the highest national rate of reported mesothelioma in the world, presumably related to the large amount of asbestos used in the past. It is expected that there may be as many as 11,000 cases still to develop and be diagnosed

Risk Factors of Breast Cancer

The main causes of breast cancer still not known and trusted that more than one factor that effected by breast cancer. Researcher believe that the contraction causes of factors, including genetic factors and the environment.

Merit has been designated for individuals who have a higher risk. What are the implications to identify risk factors of breast cancer? The risk factors are already known will allow individuals who receive high risk of benefits control of the inspection which was neatly groomed clinical and mammography examination. However, women who have no risk factors can be effect by cancer. Thus, the risk factors can not give a precise prediction.

Orders for primary
  1. Knowing the risk factors will decide whether you need to check filter or not.
  2. If you do not have risk factors does not mean you are safe. Many women who effect by cancer not have family history or have risk factors
  3. Breast cancer can not be prevented, and the main strategy is finding and early treatment before it would cancer

Factors known to be
Here are the factors that have been identified

Gender

Breast cancer disease is especially for women (95% of cases of breast cancer is among women)

Age

The higher age of increased risk. Women aged less than 25 years rarely effect by breast cancer.

The distinction geography

More breast cancer found in the western country if compared with countries in Asia or Africa.

family history and genetic factors

If a woman has a mother or sister who had breast cancer at a slightly younger age, he will risk breast cancer will be increased 2 times and double the risk will be increased 4 times the double. For men, the risk increased if, father, sister What the man or his son effect by breast cancer . There is a report that says 60% of men with breast cancer have relatives women which cancer breast. Only 5-10% of women breast cancer which have genetic factors.

The existence history of breast disease

Women in cells rather morbid hyperplasia which have atypical rate of 4 times the risk of double effect by breast cancer. Similarly fibrocystic disease or proliferate disease.

The existence of menstrual history

If a woman before the age of 12 years or menopause after 55 years, he risks by cancer increased 2 or 3 times. This phase associated with fertility and the effects of exposure to the estrogen hormone.

Number of children

A woman who does not have children or never pregnant after age 30 years have a higher risk of breast cancer. This may be related to menstrual revolution that is not disrupted.

Radiation exposure

Radiation exposure, such as X-rays during or before the age of 30 years of age can increase the risk of breast cancer but exposure such as this rarely applies Exposure to the atomic bomb explosion can increase the risk as much as 3 times.

Socioeconomic status
Socioeconomic high status will increase the risk of breast cancer. This is related to the age, you age during menopause, the age when children first pregnancy and also the food

Nutrition

Nutrition has been said to affect the rate cancer between countries. Taking alcoholic beverages have proved that increased the risk 1.4 times 2.0.

Body size

Obese women after menopause have increased the risk. This is because fat and contain estrogen in women as the levels of estrogen is higher

The pill and hormone therapy alternate (THG)

Taking the pill in the period of time is associated with increased risk 1.2 times in the environment. Estrogen dos, which is given low and the risk cancer will be increased 1.8 times after only use for 5 years. After 5 years increased the risk 2.6 times.

Male Breast cancer

More than 1% of breast cancer each year in the United States consists of men folk. This trend increase in the United States. Some 1,690 new cases in the meet among the men folk of each year (budget 2005), and more than 460 will die due to this disease. Breast Cancer has increased by almost 50% within 3-4 years of this.

Men folk should not die due to this disease just because they are not aware of this disease can take place among the men folk. Men should also check with their fixed and meet with their doctor as soon as they are observing something changes. Treat them the same treatment for women. Earlier they recognize cancer them better serve their likelihood of successful treatment.




In western countries, majority cases of male breast cancer is among the patients in the environmental age 50an or 60an. Just like women, breast cancer genes (BRCA2) also gives an impression to the people and increase the risk of men to confirm their cancer breast.

In Malaysia, the National List Cancer reported 56 new cases of breast cancer men in 2002 and 24 new cases in 2003. In 2002, cancer breast were among 26 men Malay, 22 Chinese men and 5 men of India. 71% (40 of them) than those diagnosed are aged 50 years or more. From the 24 new cases reported in 2003, 11 people are Chinese, 7 people are Malay. 71% of them aged more than 50 years.

Causes of breast cancer

From this now, how breast cancer may arise again is not known. Researchers, investigators have made a conclusion that the root of the main causes of disease is a combination of the factors (genetic factors) and the (natural factors around). What we know is only a risk factor. The risk factor is a matter that will determine the risk of the disease to someone. For example, smoking is a risk factor lung cancer disease or heart weak.

The risk of an individual against the disease is not easily determined because of the influence of risk factors vary. A woman should know and understand what factors will affect the risk of breast kanser. We can not yet understand why there are those who have risk factors such as family history (kinship with the disease cancer) and opening risk to the materials and resources on tobacco, free of the disease this attack.

Whereas, someone from low-risk group also is not separate from the disease to confirm this. Relationship is complex and may be influenced by other factors that do not appear. To wipe this mystery will continue to be a long and question marks.





Definite cause/s still unknown but certain risk factor has been linked to it.Risk factor is anything that increased the chance someone get the illness.Some risk factor are fix like age, sex and some are can be controlled.

Fix Risk Factor
  • Age-The older you get the more chance you have.Women age more 50 years old have 8-10 times fold more chance of get it compare to younger age.
  • Women-women has 100 times more risk than men.
  • Family history-if you have family history of breast cancer,you are at a high risk get the cancer.
  • Past history of Breast cancer-if you was diagnosed to have breast cancer before than you are prone to get it on the same breast or the other one.
  • Menstrual period-the early you have your menarche(1st period),you are slightly high risk get it when you are older.
  • Genetic factor-5%-10% link to mutation of gene and breast cancer.BRCA1 and BRCA2 are 80% the involve genes.

Changeable risk factor
  • Breast feeding-women who breast fed their child 1-2 years will lower the risk of get breast cancer.
  • Alcohol-women who have 2-5 drink daily have 1.5 chance than women who not consume alcohol.
  • Exercise-women who do exercise will reduce the risk of getting breast cancer.The more you exercise the lower the risk. The question is how much we need to exercise. Study shown exercise 30 minutes per day for 5 days is enough.

What is breast cancer

Cancer is a group of diseases that occur from the action of cells that act outside the original mold. Did you know that, every organ in our body is formed of various types of cells? these cells will create a division of the national needs and produced by the body of the individual.

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting women in Malaysia. About one in 19 women in this country are at risk, compared to one in eight in Europe and the United States. Breast cancer is a malignant (cancerous) tumor that starts from cells of the breast.The disease occurs mostly in women, but men can get breast cancer too. The information here refers only to breast cancer in women.

Woman's breast is made up of glands that make breast milk (lobules), ducts (small tubes that carry milk from the lobules to the nipple), fatty and connective tissue, blood vessels, and lymph (pronounced limf) vessels. Most breast cancers begin in the cells that line the ducts (ductal cancer), some begin in the lobules (lobular cancer), and the rest in other tissues.




If the rate of the cell exceeds for the needs, it will generate surplus tissue. The excesses of tissues is also known as smallpox. This growth can be divided into two types, namely smallpox benign (not tumors cancer) and malignan (type of tumor cancer). The first type of growth which is a benign growth does not endanger the lives for patient. Almost 80 percent of the breast smallpox is a person who experienced this type of smallpox.

Breast cancer is the growth that occurred malignan of the action of cells that originated from the breast. It was developed through a process of division that exceed the needs of the organ and then attack the organs and tissues. Cells cancer are also able to free himself from the origin of smallpox while entering the channel and the blood system overload (lymphatic system). This is also how the disease and methods of breast cancer attacked parts of other patient organs. The process of contagion is also known as Metastasis.

Cancer - advice to reduce the risk to get a cancer

What is a Cancer?


Our body contain the millions construction of units that call in the cell. These cells are the basic unit of life. Cells join together form a type of tissue and organs like a heart, liver, brain, lungs and so forth. Cancer is a disease associated with the cell. In normal cells will die due to increased age and injury. The body we will replace these cells with the amount and type of cell that is correct. Occasionally cells will continue to grow and grow without stoppage. Is not normal cells is called a tumor. This will encircle the tumor cells and cells taken from the property. This is the tumor may cancer. Cancer cells will grow and spread to other organs of the body through the channel of blood and spleen.


There are many types of cancer. This disease often attacks organs such as lungs, brain, ovarian cancer and others. Three of the major cancer in Malaysia is lung cancer, breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Breast cancer and ovary cancer only attack groups of women. Most of cancer disease only know at the end and it is already too late. Radiography treatment and chemotherapy will not only kill cancer cells, but all the cells will only lead to less active cells how to immediately comment. However, there is an alternative to modern medicines that are recognized as a medical complimentary said that the disease can recover.


Hence, if your lifestyle can cause a cancer, then how to control your life can also evade this disease. Follow this advice to reduce the risk to get cancer.

Stop Smoking.
This advice is simple but difficult to practiced. Smoking is the cause of 90 percent from the type of cancer lungs and also the source of mouth cancer, esophagus, urine, kidneys and pancreas.
Reduce Weight.
the study shows there are links between obesity with cancer. Regard the meeting is to uterine cancer, possibly because of excess fat add the amount of estrogen in the blood.
According to the Harvard report in 1996 on the Prevention Cancer, women who have aged beyond 35 percent of normal weight, has a 55 percent risk uterus cancer, breast, ovary other than that. Men who have the same weight have a 40 percent risk colon cancer and prostate.


Make an exercise

Exercise can help prevent heart disease and bone it can also prevent cancer? Exercises with the light because it is often possible to remove material from the slums with a quick disposal system and Carcinogen , which may be found in food. Exercise can also reduce the risk of breast cancer and prostate, possibly because the fat has been reduced. Women who are involved with tasks that require movement such as running and raise the goods less experienced this problem. What you need to do is simple activities an hour each day, such as gardening, climb stairs is a good activity.


Eat Vegetables and Fruits.

Compound found in plants known as psitokemia have the capacity to prevent cancer basically. Unfortunately the study cannot ensure the type of food that contain this material. Therefore, recommended that we take a lot of various vegetables each day. Food can prevent cancer is likely to disrupt the process of change the results of the food is a Carcinogen.


Taking Tea.

The power of cancer prevention in the tea come from falconoid, which anti oxide compound found in green tea and black. One study conducted at the University of Minnesota, there are more than 35,000 women found that menopause who drink two or three cups a day, 68 percent get less urethra


Less in eating meat

Experts found there some components of meat that could cause our members to more effect Carcinogen. That's why people who eat the meat of double impact of cancer face the risk of colon and prostate. Therefore, eating less meat.


Do not Drink Alcohol.

People who drink too much alcohol have a high risk to confirm heart cancer disease, esophagus (especially when he participated in smoking), colon (if they have the folic low acid) and rectum cancer.

Cancer - Why You Should Stop Smoking?

Tobacco is the main cause of death of 1 in 10 adults in the world that it is the same 5 million deaths a year. Most deaths are caused by the main attack heart disease, diseases related to respiratory and cancer. Stopped heart channel disease is the main cause of death in the United States. I still smoking again?

Did you know?

By taking cigarettes have been invited disease for ourselves. Even for other people around us. Because each smoke cigarette we breathe will give effect to the lungs, brain and the heart of it. Content of tar, nicotine and other chemicals that cause the disease will cancer, tibia and bleeding in the brain. Anyone who inhaled smoke cigarettes contain 4,000 chemicals and 200 of the poisonous, whereas 43 more can cause cancer. From the smoke inhaled, it can cause a blood clot and cause stroke. Stroke can kill and cause blind or paralyzed.

Let's see article below ...

Ingredients Dangerous Chemicals In Cigarettes
(This is part Then 4,000 chemicals)

Fate of smoke! Each stem These cigarettes contain poisons that are extremely dangerous.

Chemicals found in cigarettes:
1) Acetone (paint remover)
2) Ammonia (floor cleaner)
3) Methanol (of fire)
4) Naphthalene (over silverfish)
5) Carbon monoxide
6) Vinyl chloride (PVC make)
7) Hydrogen Cyanide
8) Toluene
9) Arsenic (poison termite)
10) Phenol
11) butane (oil Lighter)
12) DDT
13) nicotine (including in the categories of drugs because it causes the addicted)
14) Tar (for making roads)

Chemicals found in cigarettes into a source of cancer:



1) Naphthalene
2) Cadmium (used in car batteries)
3) Polonium-201
4) Toluene
5) Urethane
6) Acetone
7) Arsenic

The latest shows 29% of pregnant women who smoke even if only 1 to 10 stems a day cause their children in the womb with disabilities. And the risk increased to 78% to the 20 stem smoking day.

Pancreas Cancer

Localization
Pancreas is a gland that produces insulin, hormones, juice and food digested juice. Cancer from the pancreas gland are layer ducts. Pancreas divided to the head, body and tail. Cancer are from the gland spleen to the heart, lungs and peritoneum. There are 32,000 cases a year in the United States, unfortunately high level of death caused by disease and surgery that were difficult and complex.



Cancer pancreas risk factors
  • Facts food such as sugar and coffee. Smoking and diabetes can also cause chronic pancreatitis.
  • The number of male cancer high compared with women (2:1). The average age is 65 years. United States Africa nation to confirm the disease is higher than the Asian people.
Smallpox
  • Pancreas cancer is always associated with stomach because cancer position toward the other fellow. Sometimes is difficult to ensure cancer from where it began.
Symptom
  • Jaundice symptom is the most common found because of pressure on the duktus .The urine yellow thick, yellow skin, yellow eyes, pale-colored excrement and body itch.
  • Apart from the patient will decrease body weight, nausea;
  • a sense of weariness and pain in the stomach billing.
Diagnosis
  • Clinical examination, the patient will show jaundice, liver cirrhosis.
  • Abdominal Ultra Sound, Endoscope 'retrograde cholangiopankreatografi' by biopsy.
  • Using a landmark Protein tumors such as CEA and CA 19-9.
Treatment
  • surgery, cancer up to a location on the pancreas, size and stage of the cancer. Cancer head of pancreas can be operated with the need once part of the small intestine, stomach, spleen and hempedu. This is a surgery that large and complex that can be sold if cancer is small and would not again.
  • Cases in which tumors are large or have been allowed to use the methods of radiation and chemotherapy.
Treatment continuation
  • Protein extracts stage indication cancer
Prevention
  • control diabetes with chic.
  • stop smoking
  • create a blood test to sign Protein cancer.

Tumor Indications

Health organs in the body can be assessed through examination of blood. Half a doctor uses to detect tumors indication cancer activity in the body. If the presence cancer, it will generate a specific type Protein in the blood of a "landmark" in the cancer. Biomarkers such as the rate of Biochemistry C12 landmark measure and predict the development of tumors based on the concentration of tumor indication.

For example, CA 15.3 Protein is used to detect breast and ovary cancer. CA125 may signals evocation cancer ovary back and breast. CA 27.29 is an example of a Protein with cancer breast examined by a doctor. CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) is a presence cancer indication if the colon, lung and liver. This indication can be used to ensure both cancer has spread to other body parts.



Some doctor’s depend on the instructions as early landmark in the development of the disease or retrial cancer, with the hope that can recognize and treat these cancer. If the increase landmark found in the body you, your doctor will check this landmark periodically to determine responds to chemotherapy.

With this, we know that no one indication that the tumor is sensitive or specific for finding tumors. Some indication cancer federation is more appropriate for finding tumors and Biomarkers C12 is the perfect solution - to detect tumors simultaneously sign 12 - means more economic and precise. First check all the 12 tumors indication is very expensive.

Colon Cancer

Epidemiology
Colon cancer and rectum is the type of cancer digested system most often in finding. Colon cancer and rectum usually starts in the layer of intestine mucosa.

Most with this disease are found in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain, rarely found in India, Colombia, or Senegal. Existing 50 times more often in the United States when compared with Senegal. Type of third cancer most ordinary people who suffer from a disease by men and also women, and the third cause of death for the bearer of both gender. One hundred and seventy thousand United States is this disease and it is fatal to sixty thousand of them each year.


Risk factors
  • high foods in fat content and low fiber content can cause disease the colon cancer.
  • Smoking is also not encouragement..
  • Excessive alcohol increase the risk of affect to colon cancer and rectum. (Annals of Internal Medicine, 2005).
  • Descendants of the disease syndromes, such as descendants of polyphosis large intestine, also attributed as one of the causes of this disease.
Growth Cancer
  • These tumors penetrate far into the layer of mucosa colon. In that short time it Metastasis to the liver, lungs, brain and bone.
Symptoms
  • Stomachache, diarrhea and / or constipation.
  • Tumors, which will lead to bloody will affect to unclean bloody red (if the tumor is near rectum) or black (for tumors near the stomach).
  • The other Symptom is a swelling in the abdomen, pain, fever, weight decrease or less the taste of food.
  • Surgery is needed immediately if applicable intestine with the stopple jaundice.
Diagnostic colon cancer
  • Colonoscopy examination is the best way, but how to use radiology, sigmoidoscopy or use 64-bits jet MSCT also satisfactory.
  • Or take biopsy indication Protein such as CEA, CA19-9, the CA 125.
  • 'Hemocult' is ways that are often not used because of how exactly the chronicles of blood loss.
Cancer treatment of colon
  • Surgery: surgery for tumor cancer
  • Radiation: Using radiation after surgery. Chemotherapy is used to reduce the risk of retrial. Methods of radio-chemotherapy for certain cases. I used post-operatively.
  • Chemotherapy is used to reduce the risk of retrial.
  • Radio chemotherapy method for certain cases.
Treatment continuation
  • Clinical examination: Make a check on the patients.
  • Endoscope, especially colonoscopy.
  • Exam indication tumors.
Prevention
  • high-fiber foods.
  • After 40 years of age, were recommended for inspection colonoscopy once every three years and the blood test indication Protein cancer.

Lung Cancer

Epidemiology
Lungs cancer is the "number one killer". Lungs cancer is still increasing.. Cancer was caused by the use of tobacco, he began in the western countries since the second world war. It represents 20% of all cancer in North America, compared to 1 to 2% in Africa. Please note that the disease is occurring rather common among women, because their smoking habits. Lungs cancer become a greater problems in women each year. If the trend now continue, in the period 10 to 15 years, the case Lungs cancers of men and women will appear. This event will be the same, when 3.5:1 (3 more times for men) in 1975, and 1.5:1 in 1999. Age appropriate for diagnosis is 66 years old.

Cancer treatment of the lung is difficult, because he has been overlooked when making treatment. when you make a diagnosis on the stage through, 50% of the cases shows Metastasis. The many people who deaths caused by lung cancer compared with the federation cancer the colon, breast and prostate. In 2004, the budget new lungs cancer case in the United States is 173,770: 93,110 cases among men and 80,660 among women, according to the Association of Cancer United States. Appraise the 160,400 deaths, more than 30% of all deaths caused by cancer, will be applicable in the year 2004.



Risk factors
  • Smoking or exposure to cigarette will make a higher risk
  • Exposure to the chemical industry, asbestos is one of the chemicals that are known, gas, radon, cadmium, nickel, chemical industry, tar and dust carbon.
  • Smoker can be a more risk if the disclosed to the chemicals industry and the atmosphere pollution.
  • genetic fact also play any role because only one of the ten-smoker who is this disease.
Cancer developments
  • Lungs cancers divided into 2 types, namely the "small cells Lung cancer (SCLC), and" non-small cells Lung cancers (NSCLC) represents 25% and 75% respectively. Cells lung shift into cells cancer if applicable imbalance facts of these cells. This cancer can wander to the bone, liver and brain.
Symptom
  • Vulnerable bloody.
  • Coughing that end
  • Infection to the germs respiratory tract and lungs are difficult to medicate
  • Voters rough, weak and listless decrease body weight;
  • Pain-bone pain, pleura water in the lungs, and spinal pain.
Diagnosis
  • X-ray lung, but it is important to use emission CT scan encouraged. How MSCT 64-bits body scan and using the landmark Protein 'Biomarker C12' strategy is really effective.
  • Bronchoscope can get the record pieces biopsy;
  • Scan chest, abdomen, bones and brain are part of the methods used now scan apart from 'Petscan'.
  • Sign the tumor, namely CEA, NSE for 'Small cell Lungs cancers, "and Cyfra 21-1 for lung cancer type 'epidermoidis'.
Treatment
  • Specific surgery to the location of the tumor;
  • Radiation therapy: a treatment that starts when surgery can not be done with the utmost, and also on small tumors that can not be cured.
  • Chemotherapy: a treatment that run before or after surgery, especially in the rank metastasis, for the development of Metastasis patients;
  • Tumor dos indication: need a treatment that is easily available, especially during chemotherapy and beckon
  • The main cancer can eliminate this type, but the other cells may be covered: the landmark treatment of tumors
Treatment continuation:
  • Radiographic study;
  • Tumor dos indication tumors: an increase in the value of one or several landmark tumors can occur several months before he appear again. Continuation of this treatment should be done every month, then every three months.

Asbestos and Cancer

Over the course of the past century, millions of innocent people have been exposed to asbestos, a class of fibrous minerals known to cause a variety of cancers. Often referred to as "asbestos cancer," mesothelioma is the most common form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Other deadly forms of cancer are also caused by exposure to asbestos, such as lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, and colorectal cancer, just to name a few.

Asbestos was found in countless products on the commercial market, in many factories, homes and public structures, and in a myriad of industries, such as railway production, shipbuilding, and energy production.

For information about at-risk workplaces and products, please see Occupations at Risk for Asbestos Exposure and Products Containing Asbestos. Of the millions of people who have been exposed to asbestos in the United States alone, thousands have developed life-threatening illnesses, many of which are aggressive cancers. Each year, approximately 10,000 Americans die from diseases caused by exposure to asbestos
