Therapeutic Approach To Cancer / Tumors

Posted by Cancer Care on Saturday, January 8, 2011

We know that cancer treatment is only part of the picture. However, if you've just been diagnosed with cancer, is only a part of the show. Your plan for cancer care will focus primarily on their lives. Because life goes on and all the others, your world, is a setback. You can catch glimpses of daily life in peripheral vision, but it seems like the episode - Client distraction process, a plan, you must fight. Cancer has become your job, your obsession. Determines the diagnosis of cancer and disrupts life in depth. Because cancer takes center stage, it is extremely important to understand the possible elements of an integrated treatment plan. Let's start with standard care.

Conventional medicine is based on three basic options for treatment. Although there have been improvements in each of these options were available to cancer patients for decades. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been able to kill cancer cells. Unfortunately, it also can cause varying degrees of damage to normal tissues and does not always cure the cancer. The search continues for more effective treatments and support options for treatment is the driving force behind the current research and development related to conventional cancer care. molecular targeted therapies are the results of this search. Although still below the eradication of the tumor, conventional cancer treatment are powerful weapons in this struggle.

A lot of individual thinking and the collection of information is determined to go to plan cancer treatment. To decide which of the traditional and / or complementary therapies are most appropriate, please answer the following key issues:

* What is cancer?

* What is the distance from the tumor, and has it spread?

* What is the age of the person and how is your health in general?

* What are the survival and forgiveness?

* What treatment gives the best chance of destroying the tumor while causing the least harm to the person?

* What are the risks associated with the proposed treatment?

* What are your goals with cancer?

Answering these questions will help you make informed decisions. This, in turn, will give you more confidence in your treatment and focus on what you can to maximize its benefits.

Lung tumor

Posted by Cancer Care on Wednesday, November 17, 2010

In the body, when the disease has begun to attack us whether it is mild or malignant, we need for consultation or examination or something.

When the tumor has begun to menyerangkita, of course it is very dangerous. Malignant or benign tumors that are equally dangerous.

At about 10% of cases are benign lung tumor. They grow relatively slowly and replaces lung tissue without destroying it. To confirm the benign nature and prevent the possibility of development of malignant tumors also have a benign tumor removed in every case surgery.

Tumors can be benign or malignant. When we speak of "cancer," we are referring to is considered a malignant tumor. Benign tumors can usually be removed and not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors grow aggressively and attack other tissues of the body, so that the tumor cells into the bloodstream or lymphatic system and then to other sites in the body. Deployment process is called metastasis. Since lung cancer tends to spread or metastasize very early, of course this is very threatening, because cancer is one of the most difficult to treat. Lung cancer can spread to every organ in the body, while certain organs - particularly the adrenal gland, liver, brain, and bones - are the most common site for metastatic lung cancer.

However, 90% of malignant lung tumors (lung carcinoma), ie they grow rapidly, infiltrate and destroy lung tissue and can metastasize, which will be carried through the blood or lymph to other organs. Tumor cells arise from the top layers of mucous membrane (epithelium) that lines the surface of the respiratory tract. These tumors are called in the jargon of lung cancer or lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the most common cancer in both men and women.
Lung cancer is also a major cause of cancer deaths.

Types of Lung Cancer

# More than 90% of lung cancer starts from bronchi (large airways into the lungs), cancer is called carcinoma bronkogenik, which consists of squamous cell carcinoma
# Small cell carcinoma or carcinoma cell wheat
# Large cell carcinoma
# Adenocarcinoma.

Lung tumors are less common are:
# Adenoma (either malignant or benign)
# Hamartoma kondromatous (benign)
# Sarcoma (malignant)

CAUSE
Smoking is the main cause of about 90% of cases of lung cancer in men and about 70% in women.
The more cigarettes smoked, the greater the risk for lung cancer.

Only a small proportion of lung cancer (about 10% -15% in men and 5% in women) caused by substances that met or inhaled in the workplace.
Working with asbestos, radiation, arsenic, chromate, nickel, chloromethyl ethers, mustard gas and coke oven emission can cause lung cancer, although usually only occurs in workers who also smoked.

Role uadara pollution as a cause of lung cancer is still unclear.
Some cases occur because of exposure by radon gas in the household.

Sometimes, lung cancer (particularly adenocarcinoma and alveolar cell carcinoma) occurred in people who already have lung scarring due to other pulmonary diseases, such as tuberculosis and fibrosis.



SYMPTOMS
Symptoms of lung cancer depends upon the type, location and how its spread.

Usually the main symptom is a persistent cough.
Patients suffering from chronic bronchitis with lung cancer often realize that the cough is getting worse.

Sputum may contain blood.
If the cancer grows into the underlying blood vessels, can cause severe bleeding.

Cancer can cause wheezing sound due to a narrowing of the airways in or around the growth of cancer.
Bronchial blockage can cause the collapse of the lungs which is a ramification of bronchus, the condition is called atelectasis
Another result is pneumonia with symptoms of cough, fever, chest and shortness of breath nyrei.

If the tumor grows into the chest wall, can cause persistent chest pain.

The symptoms then are loss of appetite, weight loss and weakness.
Lung cancer often leads to accumulation of fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion), so that patients experience shortness of breath.
If the cancer spreads in the lungs can lead to severe shortness of breath, low blood oxygen levels and heart failure.

Cancer can grow into certain nerves in the neck, causing the occurrence of Horner syndrome, which consists of:
- Eyelid closure
- Small pupil
- Sunken eyes
- Reduced perspiration on one side of the face.

Cancer in the top of the lungs can grow into the nerve leading to the arm so that the arm pain, numbness and weakness. Damage can also occur in nerve cords so that people with a hoarse voice.

Cancer can grow directly into the esophagus, or growing near the throat and squeezed, resulting in swallowing disorders. Sometimes abnormal tract formed (fistula) between the esophagus and bronchi, causing severe coughing during swallowing process progresses, because food and liquid into the lungs.

Lung cancer can grow into the heart and causes:
- An abnormal heart rhythm
- Heart enlargement
- Accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sack.
Cancer also can grow around the superior vena cava. Blockage causes venous blood flowing back upwards, ie into other veins of the upper body:
- Vein in the chest wall expands
- Face, neck and upper chest wall (including breast) will swell and appear purple.
This situation also causes shortness of breath, headache, blurred vision, dizziness and drowsiness. The symptoms are usually worse if the patient bend forward or lie down.

Lung cancer can also spread through the bloodstream to the liver, brain, adrenal gland and bone. This can happen at an early stage, especially in small cell carcinoma.
Symptoms include liver failure, confusion, seizures and bone pain, which can arise before the occurrence of various abnormalities of the lungs, making early diagnosis difficult to enforce.

Some lung cancer cause effects at a distance from the lungs, such as metabolic disorders, nerve disorders and muscle disorders (syndrome paraneoplastik).
This syndrome is not related to size and location of the cancer and do not necessarily indicate that the cancer has spread outside the chest; syndrome is caused by substances released by cancer.
The symptoms can be an early sign of cancer or an early indication that the cancer had returned, after the treatment.
One example of the syndrome paraneoplastik is Eaton-Lambert syndrome, characterized by muscle weakness extraordinary. Another example is the muscle weakness and pain due to inflammation (polimiositis), which may be accompanied by inflammation of the skin (dermatomiositis).

Some lung cancer or hormone releasing hormone-like substances, resulting in high levels of hormones that.
Small cell carcinoma producing corticotropin (causing Cushing's syndrome) or antidiuretic hormone (causing fluid retention and low sodium levels in the blood).
The formation of excessive hormones can also cause carcinoid syndrome, namely in the form of redness, wheezing, diarrhea and heart valve abnormalities.
Squamous cell carcinoma releasing hormone-like substances that cause blood calcium levels are very high.

Other hormonal syndromes associated with lung cancer are:
- Breast enlargement in men (gynecomastia)
- Excess thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism)
- Skin changes (skin in the armpit become darker).
Lung cancer can also cause changes in the form of fingers and toes jkaki and changes at the end of long bones, which can be seen on x-rays.

DIAGNOSIS
If someone (especially smokers) experienced a persistent cough or worsening symptoms of lung or other, then there is the possibility of lung cancer.
Sometimes the instructions found initially in the form of shadows on chest x-ray of someone who showed no symptoms. Chest X-rays can find most of lung tumors, although not all the shadows that look is a cancer.

Usually, microscopic examination of tissue samples, which are sometimes derived from patient sputum (sputum cytology). To obtain the necessary network, performed bronchoscopy.

CT scans can show a small shadow that is not visible on chest x-rays and may reveal enlarged lymph nodes.
To find the spread to the liver, adrenal gland or brain, performed abdominal CT scan and brain.

The spread to the bone could be seen through Skening bone. Bone marrow biopsy is sometimes done, because of small cell carcinoma tends to spread to the bone marrow

Classification (stage) of cancer is based on:
- Tumor size
- Spread to nearby lymph nodes
- Spread to other organs.
This stage is used to determine the type of treatment will be carried out and predictions of disease in patients.

TREATMENT
Bronchial benign tumors are usually removed surgically because they can clog the bronchi and long may become malignant.
Sometimes performed surgery on cancers other than small cell carcinoma that has not spread. Approximately 10-35% of cancers can be removed surgically, but surgery does not always bring healing.

Approximately 25-40% of isolated tumor patient and grow slowly, have a life expectancy of up to 5 years after his illness was diagnosed. Patients should perform routine checks for lung cancer recurrence in 6-12% of patients who have undergone surgery.

Before the surgeries, performed lung function tests to determine whether the remaining lungs still carry out their functions properly or not. If the result is ugly, it is not possible surgery.
Surgery is not necessary if:
- The cancer has spread beyond the lung
- Cancer is too close to the trachea
- Patients have serus circumstances (such as heart disease or lung disease are heavy).

Radiation therapy performed on patients who can not undergo surgery because they have other serious illnesses.
The purpose of radiation is to slow the growth of cancer, not for healing. Radiation therapy can also reduce muscle pain, superior vena cava syndrome and suppression of spinal cord. But radiation therapy can cause inflammation of the lungs (pneumonitis due to radiation), with symptoms of cough, shortness of breath and fever. These symptoms can be reduced by corticosteroids (eg prednisone).

At the time of diagnosis, small cell carcinoma almost always has spread to other body parts, making it impossible to do surgery. This cancer treated with chemotherapy, sometimes radiation therapy disetai.

Patients with lung cancer is much decreased lung function. To reduce respiratory problems may be given oxygen therapy and drugs that dilate the airways (bronchodilators).

Creating such a tumor is not sudden. Degeneration of mucosal cells is a long process that takes many steps and under the influence of a number of factors. Initial recognition of these developments is difficult because the symptoms are almost invisible. Only changes in the mucosa can be classified as Krebsvorboten possible and should be clarified by a thorough investigation.

Because the lung tissue did not have pain receptors that occur at an early stage there is usually no pain, which indicate malignant disease. Happened general hospital results from the fact that the tumor was in the tissue that surrounds the lungs and has grown into surrounding organs or have spread.

non-small cell lung carcinoma

Small cells and form non-small-cell
Since its origin, biological properties and different therapeutic approaches, two types of lung cancer can be distinguished: non-small cell and small cell carcinoma of the lung. 75-80% of all lung cancers associated with non-small cell type. Non-small cell carcinoma arising exclusively from the bronchial epithelial layer. Compared with lung cancer in a small cell type non-small cell grows slowly and does not spread quickly, so the forecast is more optimistic. However, non-small cell lung cancer is less sensitive to chemotherapy drugs, what treatment options of intervention.

Various cell non-small lung carcinoma
We distinguish between several forms of non-small cell cancer of lung. This is done in accordance with WHO guidelines, based on tissue structure (histology). The most important task of further tumor diagnosis to determine whether the tumor is small cell or non-small cell carcinoma of the lung. In addition, the doctors found out about them, taken from the original tumor tissue. This is a prerequisite for choosing the optimal therapeutic approach. For different origins are treated differently in some circumstances.
There follows a sub-group of non-kleinzeilligen Lungenkarzninoms this:

    * Squamous cell carcinoma (about 35 to 40%) extending from the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
    * Adenocarcinomas (25-30%), which arise from cells of the bronchial mucous glands-formation.
    * Large cell carcinoma (about 5 to 10%), which do not arise from the above forms, but indicates the high proportion of large cell volume.
    * Rare subtype (5%), derived from various types of cells.

Histology of different shapes can also occur mixed. secondary growth (metastasis) of lung cancer often occurs in the lymph nodes, liver, adrenal gland, bone and brain.

Clinical Management of Cushing’s Disease

Posted by Cancer Care on Monday, November 8, 2010

Cushing’s disease, the result of corticotroph pituitary adenoma hypersecretion of ACTH and hypercortisolemia, is associated with significant morbidities and increased mortality.1 When curative resection is not possible or successful, medical management is required.
However, currently the medical management of Cushing’s disease is difficult because:

    * There are no approved medications for the treatment of Cushing’s disease2
    * Inhibitors of steroidogenesis are poorly efficacious and have significant side effects1
    * Current somatostatin analogs that bind primarily to SST2 are not effective in this disease2,3

Corticotroph Adenomas: Key Somatostatin Receptor Subtypes and Functions
Human corticotroph adenomas express all of the somatostatin receptor subtypes, but:

    * SST5 is mainly expressed4,5
    * Other receptors show lesser expression4,5
    * In vitro data suggests SST5 predominates in regulating ACTH release5,6
    * SST2 has a less significant role in regulating ACTH release5,6
    * Other data suggest that activation of SST2 and SST3 induce apoptosis and inhibit proliferation which may have therapeutic significance7

    Classic Features of Cushing’s Disease
Pasireotide in Cushing’s Disease: Cortisol Control
    Pasireotide in Cushing’s Disease: A Phase II Study


Pasireotide, which binds with high affinity to 4 of the 5 somatostatin receptor subtypes8, has been studied in patients with de novo, persistent, or recurrent Cushing’s disease.2
In a phase II study of 15-day duration:2

    * 76% of the patients demonstrated reductions in urinary free cortisol (UFC reducers)
    * 17% achieved normal levels (UFC responders)
    * Serum cortisol and plasma ACTH levels were also reduced

Adapted from Boscaro M, et al.2     

PASPORT Cushing’s


PASPORT Cushing’s, part of the PASPORT clinical trial research program, will further evaluate the safety and efficacy of pasireotide in patients with Cushing’s disease. This study is designed as a registration trial for pasireotide in Cushing’s disease.

Carcinoid Tumor Diversity

Posted by Cancer Care

Carcinoid tumors are a diverse group of tumors that arise from the diffuse neuroendocrine system and occur most commonly in the gastrointestinal tract.1 The clinical presentations of these tumors depend on their site of origin and the bioactive substances secreted if any.1 It is estimated that as many as 40 different substance may be secreted by carcinoid tumors.2

Current Surgical and Medical Options
First-line treatment for carcinoid tumors is surgery; however, these tumors are often metastatic when finally diagnosed and curative resection is not always possible.1 In addition, the clinical profile of current somatostatin analogs is somewhat limited:1,3

    * Symptomatic control (median: 60% of patients)
    * Biochemical control (median: 70% of patients)
    * Tumor response is minimal (median: ~ 8% of patients)
    * Median duration of response of about 1 year (hormone control and limiting tumor growth)
    * Bind with high affinity to only 1 of the 5 somatostatin receptors3  

Carcinoid Tumor Diversity

Multireceptor Targeting and the Potential for Improved Outcomes

The goals of treatment for carcinoid tumors include achieving:1,3
    * Symptom control
    * Biochemical control
    * Tumor control
    * Improved quality of life
    * Prolonged survival

Current somatostatin analogs may initially be effective for symptom and biochemical control, but tumor regression is rare and the median duration of symptomatic response and control of tumor growth is limited to approximately 12 months.2,3

In vitro studies have demonstrated that multiple somatostatin receptors regulate cellular pathways controlling secretion, a potentially important action for symptom and biochemical control.4

The goals in rationally designing a multireceptor-targeting somatostatin analog were aimed at achieving greater antisecretory activity and improved antitumor activity.5

Pasireotide in Carcinoid Syndrome: A Phase II Study
Animal and phase II and II human studies have demonstrated the antisecretory and antitumor effects of pasireotide.6-8 In a Phase II clinical trial of patients with metastatic carcinoid tumors, who were inadequately controlled by octreotide LAR, 27% of the patients achieved full or partial symptom control (diarrhea and/or flushing) with pasireotide.

Avoid disease and discover the Brain Cancer Treatment

Posted by Cancer Care on Friday, July 16, 2010

Patients with brain cancer is still low, ie only six per 100,000 of the patient's tumor / cancer per year, but still, the disease becomes? Scourge? for most people. Because, although such an attack the tumor is benign tumor type, when attacking the brain? Level of danger posed generally larger than the tumor that attacks the body.

Due to his illness he had been paralyzed, lips and tongue can not be moved, it's hard to talk, even he got to lose strength. To the extent an actor? Heart Chosen?,? Heroine?,? Red Berets? This was not the normal function of his right hand.

The growth of cells
The growth of body cells that is not normal it's scary.? The exact cause of cancer is not known precisely but various factors have been known to increase the risk of cancer. Risk factors can trigger brain tumors because of family history, radiation, chemicals, diet, certain drugs, and cigarettes.

This disease can occur without significant symptoms, but often also characterized by symptoms such as headaches, vomiting, impaired vision, awareness, hearing, walking and nerves. Unfortunately, so far no definitive treatment, but in line with technological advances in medicine and pharmacy efforts were made every effort to? Drive? disease.

Drug therapy has been used in the treatment of some cancers. In addition, other cases may be treated with surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.? Actions include the frequently performed operations, particularly in patients with brain tumors.

Research on cancer treatment was ongoing. Sharks have been known to roam the seas around 400 million years ago known morphology has never changed. It seems, in this fish's body, cancer cells do not? Can grow, because the whole bone is cartilage. True?

In the record books on the efficacy of traditional Chinese? food treatment, eating shark fin is believed to prevent? aging skin, and the gelatin contained in the shark fin is also believed to increase vitality. To be sure, he said the shark fin is indeed delicious.

Although the results were disputed by nutritionists from the University of Taiwan, Prof.. Chang Hung-min who say, chicken egg is more nutritious than a bowl of shark fin soup, but other researchers revealed a positive result.

Researchers from Indonesia who is also head of Center for Wildlife Studies Primate Research Institute, Bogor Agricultural University recognizes? extracts? shark cartilage can inhibit the growth of new blood vessels. That he proved through his research.?

Some doctors reported that one of the compounds derived from shark? Squalus, proven to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels that distribute food to the brain tumor. By using the blood vessel cells of the central nervous system of cattle, the two researchers was dripping with squalamine. After two days, cell growth of blood vessels fell by 83 percent.

Shark, beef cartilage can inhibit blood vessel growth in addition to a shark, beef cartilage juag mentioned could inhibit the growth of new blood vessels. About the results, Dr. Greg Harper of the Council for Scientific and Research Organization Indutrial have to prove it.

Treatment
Western-style treatment to get any more bright spots to begin the discovery of a suspected drugs can bring benefit in the treatment of brain cancer. Various studies are still to be done to find a drug that has high effectiveness. But we can expect that the expectations will be more open to treatment of brain cancer.
Hopefully there are benefits for you. Thank You

Benign tumors are dangerous when they're on Neck

Posted by Cancer Care on Tuesday, July 6, 2010

The tumor is a group of abnormal cells that form the result of excessive cell division process and uncoordinated. In medical language, a tumor known as neoplasia. Neo means new, plasia means growth / division, so neoplasia refers to the growth of new cells, which differs from growth in surrounding cells are normal.

You need to know your body cells in general have two main tasks, namely carrying out its functional activity and reproduce by dividing. But that occur in tumor cells is almost all the cell's energy is used solely for breeding activities. This proliferation function regulated by the nucleus of the cell (nucleus), resulting in tumor cells are found the cell nucleus because of the demands of the enlarged

increased employment.

From the above understanding of tumors, the tumors were divided form the two major categories of benign tumors (benign) and malignant tumors (malignant) or popularly called cancer. There are significant differences in properties between these two types of tumors, and indeed obliged to distinguish a requirement for medical practitioners.

The main difference between them is that malignant tumors is more dangerous and fatal in accordance with the word 'savage' itself. This picture, although the tumor was malignant or cancerous tissue in the foot, it was in advanced stages can lead to death.

Benign tumors can only lead to death directly attributable to the growth of a hazardous location such as a tumor in the neck that can suppress airway. Because when the tumor was in the neck it will interfere with nerves, it is very dangerous for patients with tumors in the neck. Hopefully there are tumors in the neck we can recover.

If we hit a bump on your neck to see a doctor immediately surgeon, do not let the growing lump on your neck, because if the lump is a tumor would be dangerous if allowed to drag on. If your doctor says the lump is a tumor symptoms you should dispose of them quickly. Do not let the breed. Hopefully there are benefits for us all.

Tumor or Cancer Therapy and Symptoms

Posted by Cancer Care

The tumor is a group of abnormal cells that form the result of excessive cell division process and uncoordinated. In medical language, a tumor known as neoplasia. Neo means new, plasia means growth / division, so neoplasia refers to the growth of new cells, which differs from growth in surrounding cells are normal. You need to know your body cells in general have two main tasks, namely carrying out its functional activity and reproduce by dividing. But that occur in tumor cells is almost all the cell's energy is used solely for breeding activities. This proliferation function regulated by the nucleus of the cell (nucleus), resulting in tumor cells found that the cell nucleus is enlarged because of increased work demands.

From the above understanding of tumors, the tumors were divided form the two major categories of benign tumors (benign) and malignant tumors (malignant) or popularly called cancer. There are significant differences in properties between these two types of tumors, and indeed obliged to distinguish a requirement for medical practitioners. The main difference between them is that malignant tumors is more dangerous and fatal in accordance with the word 'savage' itself. This picture, although the tumor was malignant or cancerous tissue in the foot, it was in advanced stages can lead to death. Benign tumors can only lead to death directly attributable to the growth of a hazardous location such as a tumor in the neck that can suppress airway. There are several characteristics that distinguish between benign and malignant tumors;

1. Growth.
Malignant tumors grow more quickly because it is relatively more active and aggressive, consequently if the body surface will appear to the tumor enlarged rapidly and often at its peak is accompanied by injury or decay that does not go away. These chronic wounds caused supplies nutrients to the tumor cells are not able to keep more tumor cells rapidly multiply the number, the result is cells that do not get a tip of nutrients and die. Be careful if you have a dirty wound and do not go away with treatment even wider.

2. Expansion.
Benign tumors grow in an expansionary or urgent, but not damaging the surrounding normal tissue structures. This is because benign tumors have a capsule that limits between the tumor cells are abnormal with normal cells. In contrast to the malignant tumor that did not berkapsul, this tumor growth while infiltrating or infiltrate surrounding tissue damage. Such growth was first discovered by Hippocrates - the father of medical science - and he was named as the cancer (from the Latin crab) because he thinks such infiltrative process thus resembles a crab claw shape. Due to the infiltrative process, the tissue surrounding the malignant tumor is often damaged, and if the network of blood vessels that infiltrated the tumors of this type can cause bleeding symptoms. For example, in one of the symptoms of lung cancer is coughing up blood.

3. Metastases.
Metastasis is the spread child, means the ability of a tumor tissue to be separated from its mother and stick and be able to live and develop further in other body tissues remote from the parent tumor tissue. For example breast cancer can metastasize to the lungs and cause respiratory disturbance processes. Line can metastasize through the bloodstream, lymph flow and the processes apart / falling directly attached to a particular place. Metastases occur only in malignant tumors. Benign tumors never metastasize. Therefore this is the malignant tumor metastases to the foot for example can be fatal to the sufferer.

4. Preview provider.
Malignant tumor under the microscope will appear a set of cells that often do not resemble normal tissue should be, even malignant cells can give an illustration that did not resemble any cell in the human body (not differentiating / anaplasi). While generally benign tumor differentiation properly, it means the picture is still similar to the cells to normal cells but aktvitas pembelahannya origin are more active. So we can conclude that the more anaplastic / undifferentiated worse then a tumor that must be increasingly malignant tumor.

5. Recurrence.
Benign tumors are generally rare with proper surgery for recurrence. Malignant tumors have higher recurrence due process of operation, it is difficult to actually complete it because of this abnormal tissue berkapsul not so difficult to be distinguished and separated from the surrounding normal tissue that has been infiltrated. Besides advanced malignant tumors generally have a wider spread of bermetasasis far that even surgery is not possible anymore due to cure malignant cells already existing in almost every part of the body.

What causes a person may be suffering from a tumor? These are the questions most frequently expressed a patient to medical practitioners about the tumor. And the real question this simple fact alone raises anxieties for those medical whenever asked. Why? Not because we do not know the answer, but in medicine and research, did not know the answer would surely someone can cause tumors.

But in general believed that the process of tumor formation associated with three main factors namely genetics (heredity), carcinogenic (oncogenes) and co-carcinogens (co-oncogene). Genetic factors or the descendants mentioned that some people bring talent (in the form of the gene) for certain tumors. Of course, talent alone will not turn into tumors at a later date if no other trigger factors. Other trigger factors that are co-carcinogens and carcinogens. Which include carcinogens such as chemical compounds (such as asbestos, preservatives and food coloring), physical factors (such as excessive x-ray radiation, excessive sunlight), hormonal (such as the role of estrogen in breast cancer, prostate cancer, testosterone), and viruses (such as viruses HPV as the main culprit of cervical cancer). While co-carcinogen is a certain age (generally along the tumor incidence with age), the wrong lifestyle, smoking, alcohol, eating less fiber, an irritation repeatedly.

Given the above discussion we can conclude that there is a tumor that is multifactorial and complex process. Consequently in the world of neoplasia, prevention of the diseases one is often difficult because the exact cause is unknown. There are a number of malignancies that have already received advice that the general prevention, among others avoid smoking (to prevent cervical cancer, lung, mouth), avoid the too early age of sexual relations and mutually sexual and HPV immunization (to prevent cervical cancer), Avoid alcohol (to prevent stomach cancer, esophagus, liver) and others.

But what is important for tumor types other than prevention of disease is early detection or screening tests. The study will test ways of screening and early detection of growing into a very promising direction. There are several ways to recognize the tumor. There is also a gradual procedures performed by physicians to diagnose this disease. Subjective complaints submitted by patients is often not much help because it is generally non-specific symptoms.

However, there are several symptoms that doctors already directs the mind to the possibility of certain tumors, for example:
- Often in the genital bleeding after intercourse without obvious cause. Usually need to be suspected in the direction of cervical cancer.

- Breast lumps are hard to milk teats that are interested in, to consider breast cancer.
- Coughing of blood on heavy smokers aged> 50 years related to the frequency of lung cancer.
- Changes in stools become small and the presence of blood in it can be suspected colon cancer.
 

Of these complaints, there will be a clinical physical examination of the relevant body. Often necessary in such digital rectal examination (insert a finger into the hole's bottom) or vaginal plug. But often all of this new procedure results in a presumptive diagnosis or suspected in most cases, so the investigation is required.

Investigations are needed can be a simple and relatively cheap until supermahal and sophisticated. The principle is the more strange and difficult an examination of the tumor then needed a more sophisticated and expensive. Among others who performed the inspection penujang x-ray images, CT scans, MRI, ultrasound, biopsy (some or all of the suspect tissue is taken and examined under a microscope), bronchoscopy (insert camera tube into the airway), endoscopy (insert the hose into the camera in the digestive tract, can pass the mouth or rectum), blood tests, stool examination, Pap's smear and mammography (a special x-ray photograph for breasts).

Among all types of this investigation, the examination that can confirm the tumor type and degree of ferocity is the biopsy. As previously mentioned, in terms of tumor disease known screening examination, which means early detection of the presence of the tumor so that treatment can provide more optimal results. Early detection is paramount in treatment of tumors, especially cancer. In fact there are several ways that can be done for early detection of patients themselves, for example, examine their own breasts each month after menses (BSE Breast Self-Check) to detect tumors in the breast.

But unfortunately not all types of tumors have a way of screening the right. Various malignant cancers such as lung cancer, pancreatic, gastric, ovarian often escapes from the symptoms or clinical examination of a complaint that has been lingering in the advanced stages are difficult to treat again. Fortunately, the two most common cancers in women, namely breast and cervical cancer, have a fairly accurate early detection. Pap's smear is still the effective screening for cervical cancer or endometrial cancer (lining of the uterus), while the BSE and mammography combined with ultrasound is used as an effective breast cancer screening.

So do not waste this advantage for women, consult with your doctor and do regular screening. In addition to know the type of tumor, specific to malignant tumors or cancer, it is also important to know the classification or derajadnya. In general, the smaller the degree of cancer is increasingly being addressed and prognosis (cure and life expectancy) is much greater.

There are two systems of grading and classification of tumor staging. In grading, tumor classification based on the microscope image of networks, namely the results of biopsy (histologic picture). Here assessed the level of anaplastic or differentiation of cancer cells, the more chaotic picture of the cell (more anaplastic) the higher the rank and means that the more malignant the cancer.

While the staging obtained from the clinical examination-supporting, and is generally assessed based on the size of a large degree the parent tumor, had spread to lymph nodes or metastasize or not and have not yet. More meaningful in a therapy is based on the classification of this staging. The higher the staging, for example, cancer that has metastasize, the treatment will be an impasse and reduced life expectancy.

There are various kinds of tumor treatment, is generally a combination of surgery, radiation and chemicals (chemotherapy). Benign tumors if the interrupt and allow the surgery and usually removed. And subsequent recurrence is rare. Benign tumors do not require radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Unlike benign tumors, only very early-stage cancer that could be treated with surgery alone, the rest are usually treated the combination between the three different types of therapy above.

Generally low with the staging of cancer with a good appointment and surgery followed by radiation to the possibility of remaining cells in the vicinity of the surgery, the patient can heal. In cancer that has metastasize, in the form of additional chemotherapy drugs are injected into the blood vessels are intended to catch and kill cancer cells that have been wandering throughout the body via blood or lymph vessels. And usually in advanced stages, palliative cancer therapy is intended only meaningful purpose mempanjang age and relieve the symptoms that make patients suffer. Palliative therapy aims not heal, because it is relatively difficult to cure cancer at an advanced stage.

When necessary, among others, based on the radiation sensitivity of cancer cells to radiation. There are some cancer cells are very sensitive irradiated and give good results such as cancer of embryonic cells (eg testis), or blood cells and lymph (eg lymphoma). But there are some cancer cells that are resistant to radiation. Sometimes radiation performed before surgery with the goal of cancer surgery a little smaller so more easily with fewer side effects. Cancer treatment is a complex problem, not as easy as written above.

Although theoretically the radiation and chemotherapy can kill cancer and surgery can get rid of cancer, there are real limits to these efforts. This is because the cancer is caused by a unique agent, ie the body's own cells to lose control and disobedience to coordination provider. Obviously this is different from most other diseases caused by foreign agents such as viruses, bacteria. As a result of cancer treatments like radiation and chemotherapy are clinically would kill normal cells are also affected. Therefore, although the medical world has found that radiation dose can be lethal for cancer but the radiation dose was impossible because it means damaging the surrounding normal tissue as well. Imagine if the cancer was in the hearts and the hearts of radiation means any part is damaged, it will also bring death at a later date.

Similarly, chemotherapy is the greatest toxic chemicals for the cell, not just cancer cells but also normal cells that absorb them. As a result, those who undergo chemotherapy will radiaoterapi and laden with side effects such as nausea, vomiting, thin body, dry skin and rotting, eyebrow hair loss, body weakness, headache and more.

Treatment of cancer is still a big challenge for the modern medical world. And hopefully one day be found potent drug that can eliminate cancer from the body without excessive side effects.

Cancer Strategies: A weakened Immune System Leads To Cancer ...
A Strong Immune System to search and destroy cancer cells

Immune system has been successful with the cancer cells, killing them because they were not developed. That's its job. For cancer to have developed in your immune system must be worn out, ineffective and unable to deal with cancer cells.
It is important to strengthen the immune system so it can better fight cancer. Especially if you get the medical care that wipe out the immune system, and make the body more acidic boot.
Many natural supplements support the immune system. The trick is to find and use the people that work the best, because it's easy to squander resources on products that will not get the job done. The other is to make sure you take enough. Cancer is not something to around the red-faced. Take 5 to 10 times its normal amount of additional work seems best when using natural supplements.
Natural Therapies 11 e-book provides seven or eight of the best immune system is given, and even tells you the most important is first used.

Cancer: Candida And Fungal Infections May Cause Cancer ...
Eliminate this Fungal Infections Is Vital For Getting rid of Cancer
Some doctors theorize that Candida causes or systemic fungal infection or in the very least contribute to the development of cancer. This makes sense. A wide body of Candida infection plays havoc on the immune system. Not only the immune system become overwhelmed and worn out of the fight against infection, but Candida (or other fungus), which further weaken and remove toxins dangerous to the body.

Candida main waste product is acetaldehyde, which produces ethanol. Ethanol may be great in the car, but in the body that cause excessive fatigue, and reduce the strength and durability. In addition, the enzymes needed for cell energy, and causes the release of free radicals that can damage DNA.

Ethanol also inhibits the absorption of iron. Because iron is one of the most important oxygen supports in the blood, ethanol in your body create a low oxygen level. And you know what happens if your body can not oxygenate well. Candida-related if you want to beat cancer.

Some doctors implicate fungi as a cause of leukemia. In 1999 Meinolf Karthaus, MD, watched the three children with leukemia suddenly go into remission upon receiving three antifungal drug cocktail for their "secondary" fungal infections.
In 1997 Mark Bielski stated that leukemia, whether acute or chronic, is intimately associated with the yeast, Candida albicans, which mutates into fungal form when overgrows.



Milton White, MD. believe that cancer is a chronic, infectious, fungus disease. He can find fungal spores in every sample of cancer she learned network. Other doctors feel the same. Cancer is one strategy to fight italian MD is using to attack by Candida alkalinizing the digestive system. He has his patients drink a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda, baking soda, a glass of water 30 minutes before breakfast. Some of his patients eliminate their cancer just doing this. We suggest using at least 3 teaspoons a day, and have heard of people using as much as 10 teaspoons being used daily in 5 quarts of water.

Author Doug Kaufmann asserts that fungi in foods may play a role in cancer. He has seen children become free of their documented leukemia once the child's parents simply changed the child's diet. Kaufmann's diet is base on the widely published problem of mycotoxin contamination of our grain foods.

Grains such as corn, wheat, barley, sorghum, and other foods such as peanuts, are commonly contaminated with cancer-causing fungal Poisons called mycotoxins. One of them, called aflatoxin, just happens to be the most carcinogenic substance on earth.

He says we consume, on average, from 0.15mg to 0.5mg of aflatoxin per day. So it is not sugar alone that is the problem in our western diet, but fungal toxins that are found in the sugary grains. More than once has Kaufmann interviewed a caller (on his health talk show) who absolutely craved peanut butter and popcorn just prior to their diagnosis of cancer.

Kaufmann feels that antibiotics may play a role in this. Antibiotics destroy the normal, protective gut bacteria, allowing intestinal yeast and fungi to grow unchecked. Resulting in Candida overgrowth. This can lead to Immune suppression, symptoms of autoimmune diseases, or even cancer.



"If the ONSET of any symptom or disease, cancer included, was preceded by a course of antibiotics," he says, "then look for a fungus to be at the root of your problem."

In the 11 Natural Therapies e-book you will read about a simple and free test you can give yourself to see if indeed you have Candida overgrowth. And then learn what is the single best product to fight the Candida. (It will help kill cancer cells too!)

Science, Laboratory, Carbonyl, Methylglyoxal, injecting Methylglyoxal, inoculation, unhindered, retine, diabetes, inhibited, Carbonyl group - Glyoxal

Posted by Cancer Care on Tuesday, April 21, 2009

There are no harmful or toxic, side effects.
General "Science" article in 1967 he announced that the laboratory had isolated and manufactured Retine, which retards the growth of cells, in the form of a Carbonyl compound called Methylglyoxal.

In animal studies show that it is injecting Methylglyoxal daily into mice with cancer it is very effective. This study is divided into 5 groups each of 20 mice. Each mouse in the control group died at 26 - 34 days. All the mice observed for 300 days. The first group began treatment 1 hour after inoculation with cancer. 15 survived.
In the second group, beginning treatment 4 hours after inoculation, 13 animals survived. The third group started 24 hours after treatment and 7 survived. Fourth group waited 48 hours and 4 survived.

An interview in Prevention magazine in 1972 conducted by Jane Kinderlehrer, he explained that he and "Dr. Egyud have found that retine (methylglyoxal) stops the growth of cancer cells without poisoning other cells. Retine When it is in sufficient concentration, no cell division can occur while vital cellular processes go on unhindered. "



The article goes on, "What good is a bit of luck, and I do not cleverness, the white scientist said," is that if cancer cells can not grow, it dies by itself. According to the researchers, retine usually produced by the body, and when, he was preventing the growth of cancer cells. But the body can lose its ability to produce this material ...
"Exercise is retine back in the body, such as we put insulin back into the body of diabetes, can stop the growth of cancer ... Scientists at Woods Hole found that cancer cells that are far more sensitive to retine than usual, and so cancer cells can be inhibited specifically. "
For that amount, the Carbonyl group - Glyoxal & Methylglyoxal, are retine. They arrest cell division and make cells return to resting state. If Carbonyl is missing, uncontrolled proliferation running, and cells grow wildly and uncontrollably which leads to cancer. Glyoxal & Methylglyoxal is non-toxic substance that should be in the cells. Putting them back in the cells with significant anti-cancer activity.
Other famous Nobel Prize winners that period, Dr. William Koch, worked on the same issue with a different approach. Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi acknowledged his work saying, "A decade ago, a very intuitive researcher, Dr. William F. Koch, came to the same conclusions about the possible importance of Carbonyls in regulation and carcinostasis cell division."
While both work best when used together, one of the two supplements is cancer killer stronger than the other. 11 Natural Therapies To Conquer Cancer e-book will send you where the most important to use, and only give its source.

Cancer Strategy # 4: Lack Of Methylglyoxal Causes Cancer ...
Methylglyoxal Cells to get the brakes on cancer

Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi was the Nobel prize in Medicine in 1937 for the isolation and discovery of vitamin C. Known as the "Father of Science of nutrition", she also found iso-flavones and vitamin P. In the last 40 years, her research that the process of cell growth, and thus the regulation of cancer itself.
Dr Albert make a significant breakthrough extraordinary about cancer. In 1963 the prestigious magazine "Science" published a remarkable article about the research.
In Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi identified two substances, one called Retine, which inhibited the growth of cancer, and the other called Promine, which promoted cell growth and make cancer cells grow more quickly.

Dr. Albert, explained that this is a small molecule that is very effective in controlling cell division. His research using mice achieved shrinkage of Tumors by increasing the ratio Retine to Promine with daily injections of Retine.

Ascorbic Acid or vitamin B-complex, Anti-tumor immunity

Posted by Cancer Care on Monday, April 13, 2009

Approach is very different from the other clinics.
We are using immune therapy in our bodies when possible. Lack of popularity in the body's immune therapy Oncology show more of the road usually does not work.
For all drugs, including cancer, only after a clinical trial to follow strict guidelines set by regulatory agencies such as FDA.
Until now most of the mandate of the immune therapy will be tested only after failure of conventional chemotherapy.
At present this patient who suffered serious depression, a result of the second cancer.
Conditions like this is extraordinary, immune therapy can be used as the first line treatment, before chemotherapy, radiation, and also some of the operation, which menampilakan face is more active.



~ Clinic: the first approach, improving the body's immune deficiency that is found only in patients who apply other treatment modalities. This also requires that the patient Detox, procedures that remove the details of the product provider in the blood.
We need a treatment protocol that works for the body's immune system for optimal activity.
Immune achieved through high-dose ascorbic acid / vitamin B-complex, minerals, certain proprietary biologicals "beta glucan, BCG, transfer factor natural" and conventional medicine.
