Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer

Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer | Patients with bowel cancer can be cured, if the malignancy is detected early. Conventional examinations, such as blood tests and digital rectal cryptic, but it can detect cancer at an advanced stage. Now introduced a technique that can detect the examination of these early cancers.

Colon cancer (colorectal carcinoma) is a malignancy that occurs in the colon to the rectum. Time is slowly growing cancer, 15-20 years old.

"When detected early, patients recover very big possibility," said the expert in hematology oncology Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (medicine), W Sudoyo Aru, in the gathering of colon cancer patients in Jakarta, Saturday (14/5).

According to him, as much as 95 percent of cases of colon cancer can be treated if found early by testing and detailed examination. Unfortunately, this has not happened in Indonesia. The majority of patients diagnosed with colon cancer for treatment when already advanced stage. More than 50 percent of cancer patients are not aware of the disease and find out too late.

According to Ibrahim Basir, abdominal surgeon of the Faculty of medicine, there are early symptoms that can be used for early detection of colon cancer, among other weight loss accompanied by a change in bowel habits or bloody bowel movements.

Other symptoms include diarrhea or constipation without apparent cause more than six weeks, had pain in the back of the abdomen, bloating, or stomach still feels full even after a bowel movement.

"Most people who experience these symptoms, do not want to see a doctor. They also do not want digital rectal examination that considered shameful, "he said.

In fact, this ways is the simplest way to diagnose colon cancer.

Early detection

Digital rectal examination done to determine the presence of polyps in the hole expenditure, as well as to detect abnormalities in the prostate. Blood tests performed in the laboratory on stool samples of patients, to detect the presence of blood from polyps.

Barium enema examination, which include liquid barium into the large intestine through the rectum and identified by X-rays. This examination can detect cancers and polyps in the amount exceeding 1 cm.

Recently introduced biomolecular examination for colon cancer, the patient's stool sample, the test tumor M2-PK (M2 pyruvates kinase), which is a marker (biomarker) of metabolic tumor.

These marker genes are found E Eigenbrodt from Germany in 1992, then developed Schebo Biotech. On examination measured the metabolic activity of colon tumors at an early stage.

"This method can detect polyps or adenomas that do not bleed," said Adityawati Ganggaiswari, biomedical experts from Indonesia Cancer Foundation.

DNA testing clinics will be open YKI in Lebak Bulus, Jakarta. Rate of Rp 200,000. Examination of M2-PK in stool samples of patients will be conducted in the laboratories of the Kalbe Farma, said Adityawati.

In addition to the ICF, there are two hospitals in Jakarta who provide it.

Worldwide, deaths from "colon cancer" approximately "608 000 people." This amount, reaching 8 percent of all cancer deaths, and the fourth type of cancer that causes death. Nearly 60 percent of cases are found in developing countries, including Indonesia.

Likes Eating Fish, Minimize Risk of Colon Cancer

Likes Eating Fish, Minimize Risk of Colon Cancer | There is good news for fans of fish consumption. A recent study indicates, people who love to eat fish may have a lower risk of colon and rectal cancer.

This finding is an analysis of the results of 41 previous studies that have linked the consumption of fish in the diet and new diagnoses and deaths from colorectal cancer.

"People who rarely eat fish during this, would likely benefit health in many ways, after they increased the number of fish consumption, such as reducing the risk of heart disease, reproductive, and now colon cancer," said Dr. Michael Gochfeld, from the University of Medicine and Demtistry, New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

It is not yet known whether the benefits would be greater if the quantity of fish consumed is more.

Although this new study focused specifically on the consumption of fresh fish, the authors noted they could not determine what kind of fish should be consumed or how to serve it, since in previous studies is not explained.

However, according to Liang Dr.Jie of Xijing Hospital of Digestive Disease in Xi'an, China, which involved researching, said cooking temperature may affect the risk of colorectal cancer. He said there is evidence to suggest the consumption of meat and fish grilled or baked with high heat associated with cancer risk.

Assessment of Research

In his latest findings, Liang and colleagues collected data from 41 research studies that have previously been published between 1990 and 2011 that measure the amount of fish consumption and cancer diagnosis. The study includes a number of studies from the United States, Norway, Japan, Finland, and other countries.

Overall, regular fish consumption may lower a person's risk in kolorektar cancer, and death due to cancer by 12 percent.

Beware, Dental X-rays Can Trigger Brain Tumor

Dental X-rays Can Trigger Brain Tumor | For those of you who frequent dental check using x-ray, should be wary. A recent study in the United States, published on 10 April 2012 in 'journal Cancer' indicates, they often undergo X-rays of the teeth have a greater risk of tumors in the head commonly called a meningioma cancer.

These tumors grow on the inner lining of the skull. Most growing slowly, but they can cause problems and can even be deadly, if it begins to put pressure on the brain.

In his study, scholars from Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Mass., make the observation of two methods of radiation (x-ray) is called a "bitewing" and Panorex.

The research involved nearly 3,000 adults aged 20-79 years, about half (1433 people) among those diagnosed with tomor. Researchers found that patients often undergo radiation x-ray or dental X-rays in the area associated with a higher risk of developing cancer.

Specifically, patients who have had a Panorex checks once a year or more, have a risk 2.7 to 3 times greater meningoma cancer, depending on age, rather than people who have never done this x-ray. While participants who had X-rays "bitewing" at least annually, the risk is 1.4 to 1.9 times greater with meningioma cancer.

Meningioma is a tumor of the membranes that cover the brain, which is more common in women than men, especially in the age of 50-60 years. But, most meningiomas are benign.

Study author Dr. Elizabeth Claus, said although the patients with dental problems currently getting a lower radiation exposure than in the past, but the researchers asked the dentist and patient to consider when and why it is necessary X-rays.

"I hope this research will help to raise awareness about the optimal use of dental x-rays," he said.

Guidelines from American Dental Association says, kids can get a one-time exposure every 1 or 2 years; for teenagers once in the period from 1.5 to 3 years, while adults can get the exposure once in three years 2-3.

Meanwhile, Michael Schulder, vice chairman of the department of neurosurgery of Cushing Neuroscience Institute, is not surprised by these findings.

"The possibility of tumor in patients undergoing dental radiation is low. However, dentists and patients should consider again that too much radiation each year, unless there are symptoms in dental patients who really need radiation," he concluded.

Estrogen Levels Can Help Detect Lung Cancer

Estrogen Levels Can Help Detect Lung Cancer | Researchers have long known that tobacco smoke is a cause of lung cancer number one. However, recent findings show that estrogen may also play a role on disease.

This is not the first type of cancer associated with estrogen because this hormone is also known to increase breast cancer and other gynecological cancers.

The new research was presented at the Annual Meeting 'AACR 2012' by the scientists at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.

If estrogen levels are high, may indicate that the person is more vulnerable to lung cancer or have a worse prognosis.

"We are confident that levels of toxic metabolites of estrogen can later be useful in predicting risk or prognosis lung cancer in a person," said the researcher.

To investigate, Jing Peng, a partner in the laboratory Margie L. Clapper, PhD, examined the lungs healthy mice and found that the lung contains high levels of estrogen metabolites are known as 4-hydroxy estrogen (4-Ohe) and are carcinogenic.

Specifically, 4-Ohe help enable the process to enhance cell growth and generates free radicals that can damage cells.

When researchers expose tobacco smoke for 8 weeks in mice, researchers found that levels of 4-Ohe have increased.

"We believe that these estrogen metabolites can damage cells and contribute to lung cancer," Clapper said as quoted by Science Daily, Wednesday (04/04/2012).

Female mice have a number of 4-Ohe doubled in the lungs, compared with control male rats after estrogen levels in total performed. However, whether this condition will also occur in humans remains to be investigated.

"When lung cancer is more common for women, the number of passive smokers or non-smoker who developed lung cancer actually occurs more frequently men than women," said Clapper.

In the future, Peng and Clapper hope these results will help researchers develop new therapies that target the estrogen metabolism as a way to treat or prevent lung cancer. [detik.com]

One of Processing Food Can Trigger Cancer

One of Processing Food Can Trigger Cancer | About 90 percent of colon cancers are caused intake of foods containing carcinogenic substances. Cancer-causing substances arising from food processing wrong way.

According Adityawati Ganggaiswari, biomedical experts from Indonesia Cancer Foundation (ICF), the seminar "Improving the Quality of Life Ostomate" on Saturday (31/3), in Jakarta, the use of inorganic substances in foods as preservatives, colorings, flavorings and ingredients known to trigger cancer cell .

How to cook the wrong way can cause carcinogenic compounds in food. "For example, red meat that is burned too mature will lead to carcinogenic substances, heterocyclic amine compounds," said Adityawati. Fried potatoes with a high temperature will contain acrylamide can cause cancer.

Cancer can be triggered by the habit of eating foods high in fat and low in fiber. Similarly, smoking habits, less exercise, and sitting for long periods can lead to colon cancer.

Signs the appearance of polyps in the form of the cell malignancies that spread from the colon to the rectum.

Ostoma

The presence of cancer in the digestive tract is not easy to know at an early stage. Therefore, most patients present to physicians in an advanced stage.

This leads to colon cancer is the fourth ranked cause of cancer death. According to data from the ICF, 60 percent or more than 360,000 cases of colon cancer per year are found in developing countries, including Indonesia.

In the treatment of colon cancer, often had to do the cutting and making ostoma intestine (feces spending hole) in the abdomen. According to the Chairman of YKI Nila Moeloek, the number of people with ostoma increased.

YKI through the Indonesian Ostomy Association (InOA), which stood on March 23, 2000, should improve health care and assistance for people with bags of excrement ostoma free. In recent years, stalled because of Australia's aid to help InOA should also help other developing countries.

Nila expect support from donors in the country to purchase medical equipment.

Currently, to prevent the manufacture ostoma, Benny said Philippi, surgeon of the ICF, a technique developed sphincter ani. With this surgical technique, polyps can be taken at a time near the anus anus which is a function of the nerve centers is maintained.

How, among others, performed the injection needle radiation in polyps. Thus, smaller polyps to disappear. (Yun)

HPV Vaccination Not Popular

HPV Vaccination Not Popular | The majority of cervical cancers caused by human papilloma virus. To prevent, HPV vaccination. Although it can prevent 70 percent incidence of cervical cancer, vaccination has not been popular.

Cost prohibitive to be one cause. Vaccinations need to cost Rp 600,000-Rp 1.2 million is provided three times, ie at month 0, 1, and 5.

It was raised Rasjidi Imam, an obstetrician gynecologist MRCCC Hospital, Saturday (31/3), in Jakarta, the surgical book, 100 Questions and Answers on Women's Cancer and Radiotherapy Guidelines on Malignancy Gynecology. Other speakers were Dharmais Hospital radiologist, Fielda Djuita.

Cancer is the leading killer of women in Indonesia, especially cervical cancer and breast cancer. World Health Organization (WHO) notes, there are 490 000 girls got cervical cancer each year. Of that total, 240,000 people died. As many as 80 percent of cases occur in developing countries. In other words, in the world, every two minutes occurred one death from cervical cancer every one minute and there were new cases.

In Indonesia, there are 15,000 new cases each year and 8,000 of them died.

"Seventy percent of patients with cervical cancer comes in stages, so the survival rate (survival rate) is low and the cost of expensive treatments," said Imam.

He said 70 percent of cervical cancers caused by infection with HPV type 16 and type 18. HPV is transmitted through sexual contact.

Causes of Colon Cancer

Causes of Colon Cancer | The main causes of colon cancer is not known for sure. But there are several factors that can increase the risk of colon cancer. Risk factors include:

1. Contact with certain chemicals such as heavy metals, toxins, and ototoksin and electromagnetic waves.
2. Poor diet, such as too much meat and fat that is not matched fresh fruits and vegetables that contain lots of fiber.
3. Obesity.
4. Working while sitting all day, such as executives, administrators, or public vehicle drivers.
5. Such as excessive iron pigment found in bile, beef and lamb as well as blood transfusion.
6. Saturated fats and omega-6 (linol acid).
7. Alcoholic beverages, especially beer. Asetilaldehida convert alcohol into the intestine that increase the risk of colon cancer.

To reduce risk of colon cancer, we certainly need to avoid such risk factors. There was also some colon cancer prevention tips you can do:

1. Exercising and moving so much more easily and regularly for defecation.
2. Life relax and reduce stress.
3. Get plenty of fiber. To facilitate bowel movement and decrease the degree of acidity, concentration of fatty acids, bile acids, and iron in the colon.
4. Omega-3 fatty acids, which are widely found in certain fish.
5. Concentration of calcium, vitamin A, C, D, and E and betakarotin.
6. Milk containing Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Cervical Cancer Drugs

Drugs Cervical Cancer | Cervical cancer is also known by the term 'cervix cancer' or 'womb cancer'. This is the number three cancer killer in the world. In Indonesia, every hour a woman dies of cervical cancer. This cancer can be prevented by maintaining cleanliness of the sex organs and diligently perform detected of cervical cancer early and regularly.

In terms of food, women should limit fatty foods and alcoholic beverages to reduce the risk of this cancer. Important factor in the other cervical cancer prevention is nutrition. Someone with good nutrition certainly easier to prevent attacks of cervical cancer. Good food to eat for nutrition of the body is caretenoids, vitamin A, retinoids, vitamin C, vitamin E, and folate. Dark green and yellow vegetables are also good for improving nutrition.

Cervical cancer is primarily caused by infection with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV or human papilloma virus). Approximately 70% incidence of cervical cancer is caused by HPV 16 and HPV 18. Signs of cervical cancer are difficult to observe in the early stages. Physical signs of this disease are usually only felt by people with advanced cancer.

Here are the symptoms of cervical cancer we need to know:
a. Pre-cancer symptoms:
- Excessive vaginal discharge and abnormal.
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding and painful
b. Advanced symptoms:
- Losing weight dramatically.
- Barriers in urination and kidney enlargement.
- Patients also will suffer from back pain
- Difficult urination.

Here you can get a 'cervical cancer drug' a powerful tool to treat these symptoms.

So far, we know that cancer can only be treated with chemo therapy.
With chemotherapy, not only kills cancer cells, but normal cells that divide rapidly like cancer cells, namely gastrointestinal cells, skin cells, hair cells and sperm cells.

Just cured cancer with chemotherapy? This perception seems to be removed and disposed of as far as possible. Why? Because there is actually a natural remedy to kill cancer cells that power ten thousand times more potent than the chemo therapy. This natural remedy is a fruit that people familiar with Indonesia.

Soursop leaf? Yups, indeed. This soursop Most Potent Cancer Drugs in the Hidden Years.

Only Know by Few People?
Because one of the world companies , keep the research findings, regarding this tightly-meeting, they wanted to spend research funds are in a very large, for many years, may return in advance plus generous benefits by making the Graviola tree as raw material for drug synthesis and medicine sold to world markets.

Concern, some people have died in vain, pathetic, because the malignancy of cancer, while the giant companies, drug makers with a turnover of billions of dollars to close the secret meetings of this miracle tree. Efficacy of soursop fruit is giving effect to anti-tumor or cancer is very strong, and medically proven to cure all types of cancer. In addition to cure cancer, soursop fruit also acts as an anti-bacterial, anti fungal (fungi), effective against many types of parasites or worms, lowering high blood pressure, depression, stress, and normalize the nervous system is not good.

One example of how important the existence of the Institute for Health Science Institute of American society is revealing the secrets of this magical fruit. Astonishing fact is: far in the interior of the amazon forest, growing "magic tree", which will change your thinking, your doctor, and the world of the healing process of cancer and hope to survive. No one can promise more than this, for the days to come.

Research Proves "Soursop Tree" and the fruit is able to:
• Attacking cancer cells with naturally safe and effective, without nausea, weight loss, or hair loss, as happened in chemo therapy.
• Protecting the immune system and prevent deadly infections.
• Patients feel stronger, more healthy during the treatment or cure.
• Increased energy and improved physical appearance.

The source of this shocking news comes from one of America's largest drug manufacturer. Graviola fruit in-test in more than 20 laboratories, since the 1970's until the next few years. Test results of the extract (essence) of this fruit are:

1. Effectively choose a target and kill the bad cells from 12 different types of cancer, including colon cancer, breast, prostate, Paru2, and pancreas.

2. Power works 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells compared with Adriamicin and Chemo Therapy usually used.

3. Unlike chemo therapy, juice only selectively hunt down and kill the bad cells and NOT harm/kill healthy cells.

Preventing Cervical Cancer with Diet

Preventing Cervical Cancer with Diet | Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that strikes women. These cancers form and spread in the organ that connects the vagina and uterus, or commonly called the cervix.

Cervical cancer is very dangerous. However, you can prevent cervical cancer with a good diet. Diet with foods and natural herbs. There is strong evidence that changes in a healthy diet can significantly reduce the risk of you fall prey to the "silent killer" is.

A study in the journal Cancer Research found that women who consumed fruits and vegetables in high numbers to fight against infection with HPV (human papillomavirus, cervical cancer-causing microorganisms) to get more significant results than those who do not do that.

Below are Preventing Cervical Cancer with Diet

1. Aloe Vera juice.
Aloe vera contains many vitamins and amino acids that help you in preventing liver toxicity may develop into a carcinogen. You can drink three cups of aloe vera juice every day, preferably 30 minutes before eating.

2. Avocado Fruit
Avocado is a fruit and powerful tool for preventing cervical cancer grows. In addition to hormone balance, avocado fruit contains phytochemicals. Phytochemical potential to destroy precancerous cells without damaging normal cells you.

You are advised to eat an avocado every day. You can take directly or represent it in the form of juice.

3. Green tea
Green tea contains catechins, antioxidants that inactivate plasmin, the substance responsible for creating a pathway for tumor blood vessels. The recommended dose is 240 milligrams. Green tea can be consumed three times a day.

4. Astragalus Capsule
Astragalus Herb increases the production of interleukin-2 molecule that helps the immune system in the fight against cervical cancer caused by microorganisms of human papillomavirus (HPV). The recommended dose is 1,000 milligrams, and can be consumed three times a day. You can get these capsules in a pharmacy.

5. Turmeric Turmeric or Tablet
In Eastern India, this herb is in the powerful to prevent cervical cancer. Turmeric contains a powerful compound that activates the tumor protein 53 (p53), a protein that is responsible suppress cancer cells and help prevent cervical cancer. Add turmeric to your main dish every day. Well, you can start a healthy diet is to avoid the risk of cervical cancer.

But, in addition to diet, to prevent cervical cancer came to attack, you also need to do a good habit. Among these are non-smokers and faithful to their partners.

Gastric Cancer | Stages After Chronic Gastritis

Gastric Cancer: Stages After Chronic Gastritis | World of medicine seemed have been very familiar with various types of cancer. Cancer is a type of disease caused by splitting a single cell in the body is abnormal and uncontrolled. Cells is uncontrolled and turn into carcinogens that can transform normal cells in the human body into cancer cells. Cancer cells may spread to all parts of the body because of its metastases.

For more information about cancer, lets read others article in cancer disease categories. Treatment of Lung Cancer by Radiation Therapy, Cancer Prevention and Early Warning Signs, How to Overcome Cancer Since Early, Obesity, biggest cause of cancer, Protein Causes Cancer, Kidney Cancer Symptoms, Liver Cancer Symptoms, Stomach Cancer Symptoms, Overcome Cancer with Raw Vegetables, Prostate Healthy with Broccoli, Oral Sex Causes Head Cancer, Radiation Effect to Fertility, Variety of Cancer Drugs

Cancer cells can also divide and spread in the bloodstream. Including the spread to the human stomach. The stomach is the organ of the human body that serves as a container and food processing. Juices that are contained in each food consumed is absorbed by the body through the stomach.

The stomach has three important parts. Namely, the cardia, fundus, and pylorus. Food into the stomach through the cardia, and then processed to absorb the nutrients in the fundus, and finally processed into a stool at the pylorus.

Disease that attacks the stomach is already plural ulcer. Who had chronic ulcer disease can lead to more serious disease attacking the stomach, one gastric cancer. Gastric cancer is caused by wrong diet, stress, unhealthy lifestyle, and infection of the stomach caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori.

Irregular eating patterns, and tend to prefer fast food because of busy, it seems to be a risk factor for developing cancer cells in the human stomach. Fast food is a recent favorite was a lot of preservatives are believed to be harmful to human health.

Another cause of this disease is the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. These bacteria are spiral shaped and very fond of the place with a very minimal air conditions. These bacteria are attached to the stomach wall.

Mechanism of action of these bacteria is to produce toxins Vaca. These toxins can destroy the integrity of the cells found in the stomach wall.

Symptoms of Gastric Cancer

Symptoms of gastric cancer similar to that felt by someone who was suffering from ulcer disease. This is due to advanced gastric cancer is a disease of chronic ulcer disease already.

In an early stage gastric cancer patients will experience nausea and bloating in the stomach at each meal. If already in advanced stages, cancer patients will experience bleeding peptic ulcers that often lead to bleeding and their feces, plus weight loss patients drastically.

If ulcer disease that do not heal after treatment, we need to be aware of the existence of cancer cells in the stomach. Treatment of this disease tends periodically.

When you are in an advanced stage, usually infected gastric cancer will be removed. If not, treatment could be done by chemotherapy to destroy cancer cells.

Herbal treatment for gastric cancer can be done.
Basically cancer is very susceptible to the active compound. Such as polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids, and minerals. Active compounds are apparently contained in many ant nests. Compounds contained in the ant nest can inhibit the spread of cancer cells quickly.

There's an old saying, which says that prevention is better than cure. Prevention of this disease can be done by maintaining a good diet, with no food or eating too many high caffeinated beverages, eating less meat and processed by burning, because the caffeine and high acid levels contained in the meat can make the stomach wall infected, so the presence of Helicobacteri pylori bacteria were unavoidable.

In addition, multiply eating foods that are vitamin and avoid stress. How to prevent the latter, still seem efficacious to avoid this gastric cancer.

Variety of Cancer Drugs

Variety of cancer drugs - The type of treatment chosen depends on the type, location and stage of cancer, the physical condition of the patient, patient selection, and availability of facilities. At an advanced stage of cancer treatment is very difficult and the results are often unsatisfactory. conversely, if found at an early stage, cancer is generally curable. As a measure of the success of cancer treatment is generally the 5 year survival (5-year survival).

Upon examination the doctor will usually explain your treatment procedure you should follow. if not, do not hesitate to ask. Here are some examples of questions you can ask your doctor as well as an outline of the various cancer treatment technique that you can choose:

- What exactly my type of cancer? How is she?
- What are the possible treatments?
- What are the positive sides of such treatment?
- What's the downside?
- What treatments do you recommend?
- Why is it, not the other?
- What will I feel during treatment?
- Are there any side effects?
- Efforts to what can be done to reduce these effects?
- What can and can not do?

Here are various treatment options for cancer. However, for a clearer explanation you can ask your doctor.

- Operation/Surgery
Surgery is the procedure of the oldest cancer treatment, and are most likely to recover, especially for certain types of cancer that has not spread to other body parts. Advances in surgery have made it possible injury and surgery with minimal effects (some have no injuries at all), so that afterwards you can return to normal activities.

- Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy has been used for cancer treatment since the 1950s. given before surgery to reduce the size of the cancer that would dioprasi, or after surgery to clean up the remnants of the cancer cells. Sometimes combined with radiation therapy and sometimes not.

Drug destruction of cancer cells is given in tablet/pill, injection, or infusion. There is a dosing schedule daily, weekly, or even once a month. How long you will be undergoing chemotherapy and side effects or not, depending on your cancer and chemotherapy.

- Radiation
For some cancers, such as cancer in the neck and head, glands, lungs, and Hidkin disease, radiation is the main treatment option. But radiation can also be given to other types of cancers, either as mono-therapy or combination therapy with surgery or chemotherapy.

The effect of local therapy is administered externally or internally. Externally using a specific tool for the firing of radioactive waves toward cancer cells (rays), are internal in the form radioactive implant is inserted in the area of ​​cancer, or a swallow medications/injections.

- Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy also called biologic therapy is a type of cancer treatment is relatively new. Nevertheless expected to be developed rapidly and become a mainstay of the doctors in an effort to cure cancer completely.

- Gene Therapy
Gene therapy is done in several ways: (1) replace the defective or missing gene, (2) terminate the employment of genes responsible for the formation of cancer cells, (3) develop a gene that makes cancer cells more easily detected and destroyed by the immune system, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, and (4) stop the work of genes that trigger the creation of new blood vessels in cancerous tissue so that, the cancer cells die.

- Alternative medicine
Basically the so-called "alternative medicine" can be classified into one of the above types of treatment, but the lack of adequate medical research lead to treatments which are generally of traditional medicine is not recognized in the medical community, therefore the treatment is simply called "alternative". But you do wrong, sometimes traditional medicine is also effective against cancer. Traditional medicine is popular in society, among others, steeping dried leaves of the soursop, the ant nest stew, crown of the gods, and so forth. Many combine them with medical treatment and the results are quite better.

Liver Cancer, Malignant Disease and Deadly

Liver Cancer, Malignant Disease and Deadly | Hepatitis of type B and C be the triggers of liver cancer. Viral hepatitis is likely to lead to cirrhosis. Recorded 90% of people with cirrhosis of the liver cancer has a great opportunity.

Data World Health Organization (WHO) suggests, at least 180 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C. No less than 400 million people living with hepatitis B.

Fear of disease is quite reasonable. The reason, not known of the early symptoms of patients diagnosed with liver cancer, until it has reached an advanced stage.
According to data, 70% of patients with cirrhosis in Asia (outside Japan) or in Africa derived from hepatitis B. In Indonesia, no less than 25% among people with hepatitis who do not know of the existence of the disease has the potential to develop cirrhosis after 15-20 years time span virus lodged in their bodies.

WHO data show that liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer type in the world and the third largest cause of death. Liver cancer patients in general do not usually have a life expectancy of more than two years after the diagnosis of this disease.

In 2005, cancer killed more than 206 thousand inhabitants of Indonesia, where 12, 5% among people with liver cancer.

During this time, people with liver cancer treated only with conventional methods, ie, chemotherapy that performed on the affected organ.

X-ray radiation therapy in chemotherapy for this is still considered the best solution for patients with cancer. Chemotherapy and ethanol injection in the tumor cell judged as the best two-step kill cancer cells.

Unfortunately, this treatment method was not only kill tumor cells, but also kill the healthy liver cells. It is certainly very risky for the patient's immune system.

There are varied treatment of liver cancer according to stage of cancer when detected and diagnosed. Surgery is considered as the only way out to cure cancer or liver transplantation.

Even so, only 15% of them are declared cured. Ironically, the medical service of a liver transplant does not exist in Indonesia.

Grape Seed Potentially Killing Cancer Cells

Grape Seed Potentially Killing Cancer Cells - Grape seed lately many researched for health benefits. One of the newest is its ability to cope with skin cancer and prevent blindness. Not only that, a latest research even shows grape seed extract can kill cancer cells in the neck and head. The findings are published in the journal Carcinogenesis.

The advantages of this grape seed extract is only kills cancer cells without disturbing the healthy cells. "The effect is quite dramatic," said Rajesh Agarwal, PhD, researcher at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and professor in the Skaggs School of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

However, Agarwal said, the effectiveness of grape seed extract still depends on the ability of healthy cells to survive the damage. "Cancer cells spread very quickly. But there are also conditions in which they can not grow, so that cancer cells will die," he added.

According to Agarwal, grape seed extract may create unfavorable conditions for cancer cells, because it inhibits the growth of cancer cells.

Head and neck cancer (cancer outside the brain, eyes and spinal cord) appeared at an average age of 59 years. Causes of head and neck cancer is usually caused by the habit of chewing tobacco, drinking habits alkhol. Eighty-five percent of head and neck cancer associated with tobacco use.

How to Overcome cancer at Children

How to Overcome Cancer at Children - Cancer at children is something that very afraid for parent, all parent will be scare to deal with it, in spite of the parent really patient. in this condition, parent must always support and give the spirit for their children, in order the children can be strong and always on good condition.

Some cancer that usually suffered by children are leukemia, limfoma, retinoblastoma (eye cancer)and bone cancer, where this is the common one that suffered by them.

According to Erwin, excessive protection will encourage the psychological and emotional condition of a child to become unstable. So rather than cure, but it will generate a cancer cell.

"If the mood is not comfortable it will encourage the cancer cells in the body become more active," he added.

In addition to providing support and freedom, one thing is no less important is being honest about the child's illness. "Children who are not informed about the disease would imagine something totally untrue," he said.

For example, a child may be thinking that his cancer illness is a punishment for him due to a delinquency or a specific error.

"It was agreed with that by telling, would make the child become less stressed and feel guilty. Children are entitled to know about his illness. Regardless of age, "he explained.

Skin Cancer Drug, will be launched

Skin Cancer Drug, will be launched - Yervoy or ipilimumab, drugs to overcoome the melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Previous primary melanoma therapy is removal of the tumor through surgery.

Melanoma usually arises from pigment-producing skin cells (melanin) and do not cause pain. UV radiation is a major cause of melanoma. Certain types of moles can turn into melanoma.

According to FDA data, in 2020 in the United States found 68,130 patients who are diagnosed with melanoma and 8,700 people of whom died.

Yervoy work to hold a molecule called CTLA-4, which is believed to weaken the immune system, so the body's ability to fight cancer disrupted.

Drug production Bristol-Myers Squibb has been evaluated against 676 clinical melanoma patients whose cancer has spread, or can not be dissected again. All patients noted to respond to other types of melanoma therapy that also approved by FDA.

Radiation Effect to Fertility

Radiation Effect to Fertility - Tumor radiation therapy or other cancer can cause the infertility, especially at women. a researcher said that women use the therapy for cancer or tumor diseases will due to fertility problem, these women will difficult to get descent.

Dr Daniel Green, a doctor of cancer at St. Jude Children's Research, in Memphis, Tennessee, explains, it already knows radiation high dose it can interfere with fertility a woman, because it can destroy cells in the brain that control how the ovaries produce eggs.

"It was not known that more modest doses, may affect fertility," said Green, as quoted at page of Reuters Health.

In the study, experts are using about 6 of the 10 female respondents who suffer from brain tumors and cancer. After radiation therapy, none of them have a fertile ovary.

"For brain tumors, radiation is always part of treatment, although doctors use chemotherapy," said Dr. Jason Fangusaro, a pediatrician at Children's Memorial Hospital and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois.

Pomegranate Juice For Prostate Cancer

Pomegranate juice now often selling on the market, this pomegranate beside rich with vitamin c also can use as the prostate cancer drug. Pomegranate juice has been proven by scientists from the University of California to improve the health of people with prostate cancer and natural medicine to prevent prostate cancer.

Beside that Pomegranate juice also can hamper the new tumor. Because it inhibits the function of cell proteins. Thus, this juice has the potential to prevent metastasis of prostate cancer cells to the bone.

According to the researchers, there are four active ingredients in pomegranate juice that has the molecules to fight cancer cells such as phenylpropanoids, hydrobenzoic acid, flavone and conjugated fatty acids.

Preventing Cancer by Grape Seeds

Preventing Cancer by Grape Seeds - So far, people familiar with wine as a delicious and healthful fruit. Did you know, eating grapes while its seeds are much more nutritious because the content of antioxidants that can reduce risk of skin cancer?

Some people would think twice if asked to eat grapes with seeds at once. It might seem strange because during the person intentionally discard seeds. In fact, while being engrossed in enjoying, would feel uncomfortable if there are seeds that get caught. No wonder, people are looking for fruit wine with little or no seed.

From now on, throw it reluctantly. The reason, various studies reveal, in addition to antioxidant-rich, the wine was developed as potential anticancer natural remedies, especially reducing skin cell abnormalities due to exposure to sunlight. That is, such as skin and flesh, the seeds were abundant grape efficacious compounds.

That's the conclusion of researchers from the University of Alabama, United States, against mice. In his research, a group of mice without hair is exposed to ultraviolet light (UV). Some were given additional food (extract) contain chemicals derived from the seeds of grapes (grape seed proanthocyanidins/GSPs), whereas other rats given regular diet without supplements.

Based on the observations and results of laboratory tests, mice given the extract additional GSPs enough to react positively and effectively inhibit the harmful effects of UV, which can trigger carcinogenic (cancer originator.) Tumors in the body of the mice were 78 percent smaller than those not given the grape seed extract.

Press the formation of estrogen

In a presentation delivered Dr. Santosh K Katiyar in an annual conference of the American Chemical Society, mentioned that GSPs have antioxidant active. As is known, UV light can inhibit the immune system and these problems can be avoided thanks to GSPs.

He recommends regular consumption of GSPs extract as a daily supplement to enhance immune from attack of free radicals as well as reduce risks and avoid the dangers of skin cancer.

Meanwhile, researchers Shiuan Chen PhD from the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope explained that the grape juice (with seeds) effectively suppress the growth of cancer cells by preventing the synthesis of the hormone estrogen plays a major role in the development of breast cancer.

Through lab tests, fruit juices and grape seed proved able to stop the production of the hormone estrogen in cells. Recent research using mice that planted tumor cells showed a tumor the size of mice given 0.5 ml of grape juice for five weeks only a third of which are not given the grape juice. Research last year showed that extracts of red wine (not white wine) contains compounds similar to those in grape juice and can suppress the formation of estrogen.

Choose a dark color

In the country I have found no formal studies, perhaps because our country is not a big wine producer and consumer. However, empirically, recognized the benefits of grape seed and fruit for health.

It was as disclosed Pudji Rahayu, developer of medicinal plants in Depok, West Java. It has long been his use of grape seed as a mixture of juice for immune-enhancing herbs.

"Do not a lot, just five to ten grains grapes when used as a mixture of fruits or other herbs. We suggest choosing a dark colored, like purple and blue, because more seeds. This method allows for the ability to chew it began to decrease, especially the elderly, "she said.

Even so, it should be noted that the consumption of wine with the skins of fruits and seeds can create irritation in patients with gastric disorders. Therefore, if your digestion, including sensitive, you should not eat when the stomach is empty. Train your digestion by eating them in limited quantities while watching the reaction.

So, from now of course there's no reason to refuse to eat grapes with skins and seeds because they are more useful and efficacious.

Basic Steps to Prevent Cancer

Basic Steps to Prevent Cancer - One third of all cancer cases in the United States, China and the United Kingdom each year could be prevented if only people would do the basic steps for cancer prevention.

Prevention of cancer should not be anything complicated, some simple decisions in your daily life effectively enough to fend off the attack of cancer. But the point is to keep us stay on course a healthy lifestyle.

The American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund stated that cancer deaths could be prevented if we keep the weight remains the ideal, healthy and varied diet, physical activity and quitting smoking.

World Health Organization (WHO) declared lack of exercise are risk factors for breast cancer and colon cancer, 27 percent of causing diabetes and 30 percent of the causes of heart disease worldwide. WHO also recommends exercising at least 150 minutes per week, equivalent to walking or cycling for 30 minutes every day.

"There is no magic bullet to prevent cancer but we've got the opportunity and obligation to protect themselves from cancer as much as possible," said Peter Baldini from the World Lung Foundation.

Oral Sex Causes Head Cancer and Neck?

Oral Sex Causes Head Cancer - The main drivers of cancer is human papilloma virus (HPV). The virus can be transmitted through certain types of sexual activity.

"There seems to be pretty good relationship with the increasing number of sexual activity, especially oral sex, is associated with increased HPV infection," said Dr. Greg Hartig, professor of ENT and head and neck surgeon at the Faculty of Medicine and Public Health University of Wisconsin, in Madison.

While Dr. William Lydiatt, professor and chief of head and neck surgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, said that the overall incidence of head and neck cancer will come down, mainly because fewer people smoking. Tobacco and alcohol are the major traditional risk factors.

But the incidence of tonsil and base of tongue cancer has increased over the last decade, he said. And they are the ones who are more likely tested positive for HPV.

"Until now, 60-70% of all cases of thyroid cancer in the U.S., associated with HPV," said Lydiatt.

Although the relationship between HPV and these cancers can not be denied, but the relation with oral sex is still a speculation among experts.

A study in the New England Journal of Medicine (2007) found that young people head and neck cancer are positive for oral HPV infection, more likely to have multiple sex partners vaginal and oral sex in their lives.

In the study revealed that a person who has six or more oral sex partners during lifetime associated with a 3.4 times higher risk of oropharyngeal cancer - base of tongue cancer, throat or back of the tonsil.

The researchers also reported that the tonsils and base of the tongue cancer has increased every year since 1973. And all the researchers wrote that the widespread practice of oral sex among teenagers may be a contributing factor in the increasing case.

The researchers conclude that in their study, oral sex is 'strongly associated' with oropharyngeal cancer. But they noted that can not 'rule out transmission through direct mouth' as the French habit of kissing.

In 90% cases of HPV infection in the body, the immune system naturally clear HPV within two years. However, in some cases, several types of HPV can cause cervical cancer or oropharyngeal cancer.

"HPV tends to be in specific locations," explained Dr Amesh A. Adalja, additional instructors in the spread of infectious diseases at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

In other words, HPV tend to stay anywhere else when you first enter the human body, both in the vagina (which in some cases can cause cervical cancer), or the mouth and throat.

So is increasing the incidence of this means that a new generation of more sex than their grandparents.

"Baby Boomers - generation of the 1970s and early 1960s - may have more freedom in sexual relations in general, including oral sex," added Dr. Bert W. O'Malley, Jr., chairman of Otorhinolaryngology - head and neck surgery at the University of Pennsylvania.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that in 2002, about 90% of men and 88% of women aged 25-44 years reported having oral sex with opposite sex couples.

This figure is comparable with the data in 1992 showing that about three-quarters of men aged 20-39 and approaching 70% of women aged 18-59, never giving and receiving oral sex. [Mor]Inilah.com
