Cancer

glioma

The life expectancy with someone with carcinoid lung cancer depends on the stage of the cancer. For people with stage 1, the life expectancy is 93%. For people with stage 5, the life expectancy is 57%.

●Cancer cells continue to grow and invade into other tissue

●Can grow rapidly with reduced growth factors

●Are so frequently escape immune surveillance

●Have increased metabolism rate

●Are invasive, causing destruction of normal tissue

Gliomas are not frequently hereditary, although a small percentage of patients do see a familial pattern. Early studies have shown that up to 10% of glioma patients have a 1st degree relative also diagnosed with the disease. Individuals with a family history of specific cancers other than glioma may have an increased glioma risk as well. One of the earliest studies of hereditary glioma rates was conducted by several prominent neuro surgeons and published in 2003:

Cancer in First-Degree Relatives and Risk of Glioma in Adults

In 2009, researchers at UCSF discovered an actual inherited link in familial gliomas, which may exist in as many as 20% of cases. UCSF genetic epidemiologists Margaret Wrensch, PhD, Jeffrey Chang, MD, PhD, and John Wiencke, PhD published their work in the July 5, 2009 online edition of the scientific journal Nature Genetics.

Brain Cancer Linked to Inherited Genetic Risk

In 2007, researcher Melissa Bondy, PhD of the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, introduced the GLIOGENE Project as an international, multi-institutional, five-year study to determine genetic risk factors to help predict brain tumors in families of glioma patients. Results from this study should be available after 2012. For more information on GLIOGENE, see:

I heard that peaches and plums can kill breast cancer cells :)

It is possible to slow Pancreatic cancer by changing diet. Studies have shown that by eating smaller amounts at meals could slow the cancer. Certian types of foods have shown to slow thecancer.

As the malignant cells work their way to other areas of the body, they again become locally invasive in the new area to which they have spread. These tumor deposits, originating in the colon primary tumor, are then known as metastases.

If you use the wrong one. Say if your 10 and you use the 16 year old one then it can harm you. That's very dangerous so I suggest that if you people out there are doing it then you should stop right now

There is no way to contract Leukemia or determine how it is caused thats something scientists are still trying to figure out. My daughter is a Leukemia Surrivior and all I can tell you is that in a child the most common age to be diagnosed is between 4 and 7yrs old. Leukemia happens when there is a increased number of immature white blood cells in the blood . The child can feel Tired, have aches and pains, sometimes you will see a rash on there skin from a decreased number of platlets also they can have increased bruising difficulty breathing or wheezing .. Sometimes Lukemia can be misdiagnosed as Asthma because they share some of the same symptoms. Its good to get Blood Work for your child exspecially if there sick for a extended period of time just to make sure or if they seem to get frequent colds or fevers. Its very hard to diagnose cancer in kids because it can mimic many childhood illness.

No i don,t think he had cancer. No site ever says anything about it. :-)

I think it is different for everyone, but my husband went 47 days without food intake and 4 days without fluid intake before he passes away.

Russell Portenoy, M.D.: It is important to distinguish the direct effects of chemotherapy as it circulates in the body from the long-term effect that can continue after the body has eliminated the chemotherapy through normal metabolic pathways. Most chemotherapy is eliminated from the body fairly quickly, and the fatigue that patients experience after treatment is a prolonged effect that continues long after the chemotherapy is gone. A person should not assume that feeling fatigued means that the chemotherapy is still in the body. As we said before, fatigue has many possible causes and the experience of severe fatigue should be evaluated so that these causes can be identified and treated.

You need to discuss this with your doctor. It really depends on what has to be done to get rid of the cancer. I had a cold conization procedure and my doctor said that if I were to get pregnant I may need some minor surgery to build in support for the baby as it grows. I guess it depends on how much needs to be removed. Good luck. Do feel free to talk to your doctor about any questions you may have.

There are 7 signs of pancreatic Cancer

~ pain in the upper abdomen

~ not hungry anymore, throwing up

~Significant weight loss

~ painless jaundice, basically means yellow skin, yellow in the whites of your eyes and your urine is dark

~ Trousseau sign, in which blood clots form in veins

~Diabetes mellitus, or elevated blood sugar levels.

~ Clinical depression

its not always successful because surgery is not treating cancer but its a removal of a body part meaning that we are not treating cancer when we are doing surgery but we are just taking it out.

At the time of diagnosis, patients are often fatigued, with fever, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. They may look emaciated and generally ill.

As with most treatment plans, the effectiveness of chemotherapy on breast cancer depends on many factors such as the person receiving the treatment and how much the cancer has spread. Generally, chemotherapy is quite effective at removing cancer cells.

Yes it is it runs in the blood. The white blood cells transform into cancer cells. As you may well know, the white blood cells run in the blood and go to injured parts of the body. Protein helps develop more white blood cells. As you probably already know blood cells transform at lightning speed into cancer cells. Good luck to anybody reading this who has any type of cancer.

do you have combined vaginal/rectal cancer and did your cancer spread to your lymph nodes.you say stage 4 but in order to accurately answer this would need to know the above.as a general answer you would usually have a course of combined chemo an radio therapy to reduce tumor size and then surgery to remove the infected area to prevent recurrence and or further metastases.if your tumor is small with no lymph involvement you may just need surgery...all cancers types and stages are different an therefore the best person to answer this for you is your treating doctor,GP or oncologist.

Until the day you die.
