What is Cancer
Cancer is a medical term that includes a wide range of diseases characterized by abnormal growth of cells that divided without control and has the ability to penetrate the tissue and destroy healthy tissue in the body. It is able to spread throughout the body.Cancer is one of the main causes of death in the Western world. But the prospects of recovery from cancer is constantly improving in most species, thanks to advances in methods of early detection of cancer and cancer treatment options.
Symptoms of Cancer
Cancer symptoms vary from case to case, depending on the member who suffers from cancer.
Some general symptoms of cancer attributed to him, but it's not a private cancer alone, and include:
Fatigue High temperature The emergence of mass inflation or can Thssha under the skin Pain Changes in body weight, include an increase or decrease unintended in body weight Changes on the surface of the skin, such as the emergence of yellow, dark areas or red patches on the skin, wounds do not heal, or changes in moles were present on the skin Changes in work patterns bowel or bladder Persistent cough Hoarseness Difficulty in swallowing Difficulty or hardship in digestion or discomfort after eating.
The causes and risk factors for cancer
Series "DNA" in the human body contains a set of commands stomach to the cells of the body, determine how growth, development and division. Healthy cells sometimes tend to make changes in its DNA, but they remain able to correct the bulk of these changes. Or, if you can not make these corrections, the distorted cells often die. However, some of these deviations can not be corrected, leading to the growth of these cells and their transformation into cancer cells. It can also prolong these deviations, also, the lives of some of the cells more than the average normal life. This phenomenon caused the accumulation of cancer cells. In some types of cancer, the accumulation of these cells generates a cancerous tumor. However, not all types of cancer produces cancerous tumors. For example, leukemia (leukemia - leukemia) is a type of cancer that affects blood cells, bone marrow (marrow bones - bone marrow), lymphatic system (Lymphatic System) and spleen, but this type of cancer does not produce a tumor. Initial genetic drift is only the beginning of the process of the development of cancer. The researchers believe that cancer development requires a number of changes within the cell, including: Initiating factor leading to obtain genetic change: sometimes a person may be born with a certain deviation Jenny, while genetic drift may occur to others as a result of the forces active within the body, such as hormones, viruses and chronic inflammation. It can also happen deviation Jenny result actors are outside the body, such as ultraviolet radiation (Ultraviolet - UV) originating sun, or factors carcinogenic chemicals (causing cancer - Carcinogen) present in the living environment. Catalyst for the growth of cells quickly: Factors help exploit deviations and changes resulting from genetic factors initiative. Factors help make cells divide more quickly. This can lead to the accumulation of cells, Corm cancerous. Cofactors can be inherited, can consist in the body or could arrive from abroad to enter the body. Encouraging factor makes the cancer more aggressive and helped him to the outbreak: without encouraging factors (factors reinforcement), can stay a benign tumor and a limited place. Encouraging factors make cancer more aggressive and increase the likelihood of cancer storming of the nearby tissue and destruction, also increase the likelihood of the spread of cancer to other organs throughout the body. As is the case for the initiative and factors contributing factors, as well as encouraging factors also can be transmitted by inheritance, or that formed as a result of the effects of environmental factors. Genetic building, actors within the body, choice of lifestyle and the environment in which we live - all of which can form the basis for the cancer or to complete the composition if he had appeared. For example, if you go to someone hereditary deviation Jenny increases the likelihood of a particular cancer, it would be this person exhibit a high degree of injury with this type of cancer, more than people at the same factor that can cause cancer. Genetic drift lead to start the cancer process, while it may be cancer causing agent a key compound in the development and progression of cancer in the future. Moreover, people Smokers who work in an environment that contains asbestos, are more susceptible to the risk of lung cancer from smoking people who do not work in such an environment. This, because the smoke from tobacco together with asbestos are working to develop this type of cancer. Although doctors know the factors that make someone belongs to a group with a greater risk of cancer, but the majority of cancer cases occur in reality the people have no known factors. Factors that are known to increase the risk of cancer include: Age: the development of cancer can take many decades. This is the reason that the diagnosis of cancer in most people are members beyond the age of 55 years. Until the moment of the discovery of the cancerous tumor is likely to be between 100 million - billion cancerous cell has evolved and is likely be the primary tumor had appeared composed five years ago, and perhaps more. While cancer is so prevalent among the elderly, we find that the cancer is not limited to adults only, as it can be for cancer to appear at any age. Habits: It is well known that certain lifestyles may increase the risk of cancer. Smoking, drinking alcohol, exposure to sunlight in abundance or burns sun multiple accompanied the emergence of blisters (blister - bubble filled with fluid appear in the upper layers of the skin - Blister), and sex without the means and protective - all of which can increase the risk of cancer. Can stop these habits in order to reduce the risk of cancer, knowing that some of these habits can be stopped more easily than others. Family history: only about 10% of all cancers occur on a genetic basis. If cancer was widespread in the family, it is very likely that the genetic aberrations are transmitted by heredity from generation to generation. Doctor decides that a particular person was appropriate for Altafrash tests (Scan), which may reveal the presence of hereditary genetic deviations that would increase the risk of cancer. The man must realize that if has discovered genetic deviations that does not mean he would have, necessarily, of cancer. Talk with your doctor about it. Living environment: the environment in which we live may contain harmful chemicals that can increase the risk of cancer. Even if you're not a smoker, you may be exposed to secondhand smoke (indirect) if you live in an environment where others smoke, or if you live with someone smoked. Chemicals found in the home or in the workplace, such as asbestos or benzene, can be factors that increase the risk of cancer.
Complications of cancer
Cancer and cancer treatment may lead to the emergence of several complications, including: Side effects stemming from cancer treatment Unusual responses produced by the immune system of cancer Spread of cancer Cancer recurrence (return statement after his recovery - relapse)
Cancer diagnosis
Tafrissat (scans) to detect cancer: cancer diagnosis in the early stages offers the best chances for cure. If the patient feels suspicious symptoms, he should consult with his doctor about any of the tests and Altafrissat is best suited him for the early detection of cancer. Research has shown that a Tafrissat for early detection of cancer may actually save lives in some types of cancer. As for other types of cancer, do not be a Tafrissat early detection of cancer, but for the people most at risk of cancer, only. Discuss with your doctor how the presence of risk factors for thee. American Association for Cancer recommends Tafrissat early detection of cancer for people with moderately risk factors for injury following types of cancer: Breast cancer - for women aged 40 years and above Cervical cancer - for women aged 21 years and above, or after three years of first sexual intercourse Cancer colon (large intestine) - Men and women aged 50 years and above Prostate gland cancer - men from the age of 50 and above Tafrissat detection cancer Alambkran and some other measures have a range of benefits and shortcomings. Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each check with your doctor to determine the most appropriate screening to detect cancer. In order to diagnose cancer, the doctor may choose one or more of early detection tests for cancer following: Physical examination Lab tests Imaging tests Biopsy (Biopsy) Degrees / stages of cancer After cancer diagnosis, the doctor tries to determine the extent of the spread of cancer or the stage reached by cancer. The doctor about methods of treatment or prognosis, according to the classification of cancer and the patient's degree specified. Classification and grade is determined by conducting a series of tests, such as imaging tests, including bone scan and X-ray imaging (Radiology the رنتجن - X - Ray), to determine whether the cancer has spread to other organs in the body. Symbolizes degrees / stages of cancer, usually, in Roman numerals from I to IV, where the largest number indicates that more advanced cancer. In some cases, referred to as the stage of the cancer using characters or verbal description.
Cancer Treatment
Cancer treatment is composed of a variety of treatments. As cancer treatment options related to several factors, such as the type and stage of cancer, general health status, in addition to the patient's own preferences. Can consult with a specialist tumors (oncologist) about the benefits and risks of each and every one of cancer treatment options to determine the treatment of cancer, the best and most effective in each case. Cancer treatment targets: Application of cancer treatment are many different ways, including: Treatment is aimed at killing or removing cancerous cells (primary treatment) Treatment aims to destroy cancer cells remaining (therapy assistant) Treatment is designed to address the side effects of cancer and treatment (supportive therapy). Accessible to doctors today a variety of tools designed to treat cancer. These treatments include: Surgery Chemical treatments (Chemotherapy) Radiation treatments (radiotherapy - Radiation therapy) Spinal cord transplants and stem cells Biological Therapy Hormone therapy Drug therapy Clinical trials
Cancer Prevention
There was no sure way to avoid cancer. But doctors managed to identify some of the ways that they can help to reduce the risk factors for cancer, including: Quit Smoking Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight Maintaining a balanced diet and healthy The practice of physical activity on most days of the week Maintain a normal weight and healthy Careful checkup and Tafrissat early detection regularly Consult your doctor about the vaccines available.
Alternative Therapies
Did not prove conclusively that alternative treatments lead to healing from cancer. But the possibilities of alternative medicine may help in the face of the effects and reduce the symptoms of cancer and the side effects caused by treatments, Kaltab, nausea and pain. Discuss with your doctor about alternative treatments that can help. Your doctor will discuss with you also the safety of these treatments for you and that was a factor hampering the traditional treatment for cancer. These treatments include: Acupuncture (Acupuncture) Hypnosis (Hypnosis) Massage Meditation (Meditation) Various relaxation techniques.
