Hormonal Therapy for Breast cancer 2008-02-21 01:18:26 When the pathologist examines the tumor specimen, he or she discovers that the tumor is express estrogen and progesterone receptors. Patients whose tumors express estrogen receptors are candidates for therapy with an estrogen blocking drug called Tamoxifen. Tamoxifen is taken in pill form for 5 years after his surgery. This medicine has been shown to dramatically reduce the risk of recurrence if your tumor expresses estrogen receptors. However, there are side effects commonly associated with Tamoxifen including weight gain, hot flashes and vaginal discharge that patients may be troubled by. There is also very unusual side effects such as blood clots, stroke, cancer of the uterus or may frighten patients to choose to take it. We must remember that their chances of a recurrence of her cancer Read more:Hormonal

How to treat bladder cancer 2008-02-21 01:13:38 Superficial bladder cancer is not invaded all the muscle. As mentioned above, the extent of the disease is based mainly on the transurethral resection (TUR). Similarly, the main treat
ment for the disease is superficial RTU. Given the fact that the cancer is superficial, all of the tumor should be able to be removed by the RTU. However, the superficial bladder cancer has a high incidence of recurrence and, therefore, the goal of treatment changes to the prevention of these recurrences and progression to prevent an attacker stadium. The treatment of a cancer of the bladder superficial always involves RTU. In high-grade tumors, tumors large, multiply recurrent superficial tumors, or any tumor that invades in the lining of the bladder (T1 tumors), most agents are infused directly into the blad
What screening tests are available for bladder cancer 2008-02-14 10:05:34 The goal of screening tests
are to detect cancers early and starting treatment when the cancer is in an early stage, or even before becoming invasive. Citológico examination of urine (looking for abnormal cells in the urine), has been the most commonly tested screening tool. It involves testing urine for the presence of abnormal cells, which indicate the possibility of a cancer. This method is relatively cheap and without risk to the patient. If abnormal cells are seen, more than 95% of the time which provides precisely the presence of cancer of the bladder. However, a fair value of cancers can be missed using this method. Moreover, the incidence of pre (too small to cause any symptoms) bladder cancer in the general population is probably too low for cytologic examination of urine to be u Read more:available
who is risk for bladder cancer 2008-02-14 09:57:12 Cancer of the bladder is the fourth most common cancer among men and the eighth most common cancer in women. More than 50000 cases are diagnosed each year in the United States, with more than 12000 deaths. Internationally, the incidence of cancer of the bladder varies substantially, with higher rates in Europe and North America and in endemic areas (North Africa) with a kind of call fluke Schistosoma haematobium, which induces a predominance of squamous cell carcinomas. Classically, the bladder cancer is thought of as a disease that affects older men, with men more affected than women by a ratio 3:1 and 2 / 3 of the cases diagnosed in people aged over 65.Smoking is the biggest risk factor for cancer of the bladder (yet another reason to stop smoking). The smokers have 2-4 times the risk of
what i have to do after i treated anal caacer 2008-02-14 09:40:31 After treatment for anal cancer, patients are usually followed every 3-6 months for several years, with or without CT. The most important aspect of follow-up after completion of treatment is a thorough physical examination, including a digital rectal examination. Anal cancer may take some time to respond to treatment and often continue to shrink months after chemotherapy and radiotherapy has ended. So it is not unusual to have a residual mass immediately after treatment. The presence of a residual mass, it does not mean that the treatment does not work. Overall, the chance for long-term cure of anal cancer depends on the extent of disease at the time was first diagnosed. Patients presenting minors without lymph node disease or distant metastases have a better chance of long-term tumor cont
How to treat anal cancer 2008-02-12 14:13:43 SurgeryAlthough surgery was the main treat
ment for anal cancer 20 years ago, its role has declined significantly since then. When executed, surgical resection is usually abdominal perineal resection (APR), which consists of a wide excision of the anus, including the anal muscles, with the placement of a permanent colostomy. A colostomy is performed by connecting the intestine of a hole in the abdominal wall (called a stoma). The feces, which passes through the stoma are collected in a bag that is attached to the outside of the abdominal wall with adhesive. This bag can then be emptied by the patient as needed. Because the combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy result in similar rates of local control and survival compared to surgery, chemoradiation has been favored during surger
How to treat anal cancer part 3 2008-02-12 14:09:31 Combined Modality (Chemoradiotherapy)Chemotherapy has been shown to be radiosensitizing when administered at the same time as radiotherapy. This means that the effect of radiation is increased when administered in conjunction with chemotherapy. Several studies have shown that large local control of the tumor is significantly enhanced when chemoradiotherapy is used, compared with radiation alone. However, despite this improvement in local control of tumor, there is no difference in overall survival was seen with combined therapy, compared with radiotherapy alone. Regardless, combined therapy is now the standard treat
ment for most patients with anal cancer, unless the patient is unable to tolerate treatment combined.
How to treat anal cancer part 2 2008-02-12 14:07:42 ChemotherapyChemotherapy is a medication which is usually given intravenously or as a pill. She goes to the bloodstream and throughout the body to kill cancer cells. This is one of the great advantages of chemotherapy. If cancer cells have broken from the tumor and are elsewhere inside the body, chemotherapy has a chance to find the cells and killing them. Anal with cancer, chemotherapy is most commonly given the same time as the radiation. This will be discussed later in the section entitled "Combined Modality (Chemoradiotherapy).A number of different chemotherapeutic agents exist, each with its own side effects. The agents most commonly used in anal cancer are 5-flourouracil (5-FU) with or mitomycin C and cisplatin. Exactly which chemotherapeutic agents are given for anal cancer varies a Read more:treat
Radiation Therapy for fallopian tube cancer 2008-03-12 16:01:39 According to a study comparing national retrospective post-chemotherapy for all post-abdomen pelvis radiation therapy in patients with early stage disease, there was no significant difference in survival between the two treatment groups. However, this is not a randomized study, and thus the ability to make findings of this data is limited. Unfortunately, there are no randomized trials comparing the effectiveness of abdominopelvic radiation and chemotherapy with cisplatin-in the post-operative setting, given the rarity of this cancer, randomized data can never be available. Treatment after surgery should be determined by the patient and the doctors together, based on location of any other disease and the way of life of the patient and health general Read more:Radiation

Surgery for fallopian tube cancer 2008-03-12 15:49:30 As mentioned earlier, fallopian tube is typically diagnosed with cancer surgery. The new FIGO staging system requires an extensive surgical procedure very similar to that used for cancer of the ovary. Includes sample of fluid pelvic, abdominal and pelvic washings, transabdominal removal of the uterus (hysterectomy), the removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes (bilateral salpingoo-ophorectomy), the removal of some tissue folds (omentectomy), selective removal of lymph nodes pelvic (Lymphadenectomy), and selective biopsies of the lining of the abdominal wall and organs (peritoneum).In cases of very advanced disease, the goal of surgery is to remove as much tumor mainly bulk as safe as possible (cytoreduction). Some surgeons advocate also running a "second-look" surgery, in which a repeti Read more:Surgery
How to diagnose fallopian tube cancer 2008-03-12 15:41:47 Both depending on their scarcity and the difficulty of seeing something abnormal grows inside a tube of fallopian tube cancer can be a difficult diagnosis to make.One of the most important steps in evaluating any patient with a gynaecological complaint is a good pelvic examination. The health provider (HCP) should examine the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and vagina. A pelvic mass is the most common physical finding, seen in about two-thirds of the patients. Pélvica fluid (ascites), in conjunction with a mass is not as common, occurring in only about 15%.That said, fallopian tube cancers are so rare that the finding of a pelvic mass is not sufficient to make a diagnosis of fallopian tube cancer.

the risk factors for fallopian tube cancer 2008-03-12 15:34:40 Pick disease among women who 60 - 64 years, but may continue to occur in women who are in their early - to mid-80's. The diagnosis is more common in Caucasian women than in black women, although the reason for this is not so understood.Given its rarity, the causes and risk factors
for the development of primary fallopian tube cancer are not clearly defined. There were some associations of cancer with chronic infection and / or inflammation in the fallopian tube (because of untreated sexually transmitted diseases, for example), although a causal link has not been definitively established.
the symptoms of fallopian tube cancer 2008-03-12 15:29:05 The most common symptoms
are vaginal bleeding, vaginal discharge, and / or pelvic pain. As a general rule, any vaginal bleeding in postmenopausal women, should be quickly and carefully evaluated. Blood tinged vaginal discharge which does not respond to antibiotic treatment may indicate the presence of cancer. Finally, pelvic pain can occur because of blockage and trapped fluid distending the fallopian tube.There is a syndrome called "hydrops tubae profluens", which consists of: 1) a pelvic mass, 2) profuse watery color of honey or vaginal discharge, and 3) pelvic pain that disappears mainly on the sudden disappearance of mass. While this triad is rarely found in practice, is a classic syndrome diagnosis of fallopian tube disease.

Understanding What Mesothelioma Is 2008-03-15 00:55:58 Most people probably have heard of asbestos and the fact that people who have been exposed to it can go to develop diseases. Although the use of asbestos has been banned in the European Union, people still have contracted diseases from when it was used in the past.One such disease is mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer that affects the lining of the lung, lining of the abdominal cavity or lining around the heart. It is caused by exposure to asbestos, which was around a lot in certain areas before it was banned. It could have been contracted on a number of ways to simply breathe it for the picking it up second hand of others clothing, hair or skin.People who have a greater risk of developing mesothelioma are those who worked directly with asbestos or asbestos products in the past.

Lung Cancer Caused By Asbestos 2008-03-15 00:52:55 Exposure to asbestos can cause a number of lung diseases including asbestosis, lung cancer and pleural fibrosis. Asbestos
is results in widespread scarring of the lungs and can leave victims of shortness of breath and more likely to develop lung cancer. Pleural fibrosis causes inflammation, hardening and thickening of the lining of the lung tissue, but it has a number of symptoms can be quite simple to diagnose.The other type of lung disease that can develop after exposure to asbestos is asbestos lung cancer. This can affect both the inside lining of the lung or the outside. While it is impossible to determine the exact value of the number of people who develop the disease because of the asbestos, it is thought that there are about as many asbestos lung cancer deaths each year in Britain as Read more:Cancer

The Advantages of Radiosurgery 2008-03-15 00:50:46 Although there are few ways to deliver radiation to destroy tumors or slow their growth, they found a large amount of success and preferably among neurosurgeons, medical oncologists and with subspecialties in the brain tumor growth.Radiosurgery is considered a relatively "recent" technique for the treatment of brain tumors. Its main advantage is that it is non-invasive, meaning that the meat and the skull do not need to be cut, sawed bled or, in any way. This will be a brief discussion on how radiosurgery gives doctors and clinical advantages over invasive brain surgery applications and some information about how it is applied.When a patient suffers from a tumor radiosurgery they generally use one of two techniques to expose the growth to radiation.

Treatment and Cure for Cancer 2008-03-15 00:46:22 Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells which tend to proliferate in an uncontrolled manner and, in some cases, the metastatizam. Cancer develops when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Normal cells grow, divide and die. Instead of dying, cancer cells continue to grow and form new abnormal cells. Cancer cells often travel to other parts of the body where they grow and replace normal tissue. Direcionados cancer therapies use drugs that block the growth and spread of cancer by interfering with specific molecules involved in carcinogenesis (the process by which normal cells become cancer cells) and tumor growth.The most consistent finding, over decades of research is the strong association between tobacco use and cancers of many sites.

Three Types of Skin Cancer 2008-03-15 00:36:52 When it comes to skin cancer, there are three types diagnosed - each with different symptoms, treatment and mortality. If you think there is any chance you may have cancer of the skin, do not try to self-diagnose! If you think you have cancer, consult a doctor. It is important to always consult a health professional before graduates seeking treatment for cancer of the skin.The most common form of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, a slow-forming cancer, without risk of spreading the disease to other parts of the body. As it is a relatively inert form of cancer, basal cell carcinoma has lower mortality rate higher than other cancers and is easier to remove.The second type, one that is more serious than basal cell carcinoma, it is squamous cell carcinoma.

In recent decades, however, sunlight was also implicated as a cause of some types of skin cancer.Although the two types of ultraviolet rays are associated with cancer of the skin, some skin cancers are caused by genetic factors. Indeed, recent research has shown that the mutation of cells and abnormal genes probably play a much more significant role in the development of skin cancer which was not originally believed.While anyone can develop skin cancer, some people are at greater risk than others are.

Skin Cancer Symptoms 2008-03-15 00:31:54 Sun exposure has been linked for several years with skin cancer. More people are diagnosed with this cancer than with any other. Therefore, it is important to learn about skin cancer symptoms in order to protect yourself and the ones you love.Skin cancer often appears as a growth on the surface of the skin. Moles or marks that have been present since birth are rarely cancerous. Changes in the appearance of these moles or marks, however, can be a sign of malignancy, and should be evaluated by a physician.Sometimes skin cancer looks like a pimple or sore that does not heal.
