After metastasis , or if the primary cancer is untreatable , the destruction of tissue is what actually causes death . IF TESTICULAR CANCER GOES unchecked and not treated, it will "metastasize", meaning it will spread to other parts of the body. It may first spread to the lungs, to bone marrow, to the liver, the brain, etc... and it will get to the point where it is spread throughout the body, and becomes untreatable. Then soon your body will succumb to the disease and you will die.
If testicular cancer is caught early it's curable. My husband has two friends that had it 15 years ago and they are just fine. Men have a habit of working hard and try ignoring symptoms they may have and it could be out of fear or they have a feeling they are never going to get sick. They get diseases like everyone else. So, for all men, when they see something on their body, or just don't feel right they should see their doctor right away. It could save your life!
There is no evidence that HPV causes ovarian cancer.
Clinical Ovarian Cancer was created in 2008.
Wisconsin Ovarian Cancer Alliance was created in 2001.
Yes, ovarian cancer is sometimes referred to as ovarian carcinoma, which specifically denotes cancer that originates in the ovarian tissue. It can also be classified based on the type of cells involved, such as epithelial, germ cell, or stromal tumors, but "ovarian cancer" is the most commonly used term.
A pap smear will not detect ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer won't affect whether a pap smear is normal or abnormal -- it could be either one.
Overall, ovarian cancer accounts for only 4% of all cancers in women
None. You cannot treat ovarian cancer with diet supplements.
No, she did not. In 1994 she was diagnosed with cancer (ovarian and uterine) and died the following year, at the age of 53.
Ovarian cancer does not produce specific symptoms that would clue doctors to this diagnosis. Most common symptoms include malaise, weakness, bloating, vague abdominal discomfort. There are no good blood markers that can diagnose ovarian cancer. Therefore, it is difficult to screen for ovarian cancer. By the time symptoms develop, quite often ovarian cancer can already be spread and metastasized.
the history is not when it started, the history is what it is and it is cancer of the ovaries.
There are quite a few websites regarding ovarian cancer. Here are just a few: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001891/ & http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/ovarian-cancer/DS00293
It is estimated that 140,000 women WORLDWIDE die each year from ovarian cancer.
