Cancer

just about anyone. some get it, some don't. it usually depends on if you inherit or not.

enlarged lymph nodes (portahepatis)may be due to:-

1)inflammatory due to chronic cholicystitis.

2)neoplastic (abdominal lymphoma)

3)as a metastasis due to adenocarcinoma of the stomach.

Metastatic liver cancer, where cancer has spread to the liver from another part of the body, is a challenging condition to treat, and the prognosis varies depending on several factors. Survival rates are generally lower for metastatic liver cancer than for primary liver cancer. Here are some key factors that influence the prognosis:

Cancer Type: The type of cancer that has spread to the liver plays a significant role. Some primary cancers, such as colorectal cancer, are more responsive to treatment than others.

Extent of Spread: The number and size of liver tumors, as well as whether the cancer has spread to other organs, affect the prognosis. Extensive liver involvement or metastasis to multiple organs can make treatment more challenging.

Liver Function: The overall health and function of the liver are crucial. If the liver is severely damaged by cancer, cirrhosis, or other factors, it can limit treatment options and affect survival.

General Health: The patient's overall health, age, and ability to tolerate treatment are important. Stronger, healthier individuals may have better outcomes.

Response to Treatment: Some individuals respond well to treatment, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or surgical interventions. A positive response to treatment can extend survival.

Treatment Approach: Treatment options for metastatic liver cancer can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these. The choice of treatment and how well it works influence the prognosis.

It's essential for individuals with metastatic liver cancer to consult with an oncologist or a medical specialist to discuss their specific case and receive personalized treatment recommendations. While metastatic liver cancer is often challenging to cure, treatments can help manage the disease, improve quality of life, and extend survival. The goal of treatment may shift from curing the cancer to controlling its growth and providing symptom relief.

Survival rates and expected outcomes can vary widely from person to person, so it's essential to have an open and honest discussion with a healthcare provider to understand the individual prognosis and make informed decisions about treatment and care.

The early stages of prostrate cancer sometimes do not show up. Signs after the disease has advanced are trouble urinating, blood in your urine, bone pain, discomfort in the pelvic region and blood in semen.

Leukemia is cancer of the blood. The anibobies, which make up the immune system travel through the blood. The immune system is damaged by the cancer cells in the body, and the can start to attack healthy blood cells, further weakening the immune system.

Cancer cells travel by way of what is called the 'cancer highway', the lymphatic system.

No one exactly discovered Colon Cancer... It dates back to antiquity, where its traced back to the ancient times to medical advanes of the 17th and 20th centuries and into the 21st century.

tumour lysis of lymphoma causes hyperuricaemia and forms renal stone (uric acid).

I have found that eliminating processed sugars is a most effective strategy to prevent cancer, together with a raw-food diet ( lots of fruit & Veg. ).

Also, a high oxygen intake (lots of deep breathing), was beneficial as well.

This can be sourced from either country-air, oxygen-rich herbs or specialist oxygen clinics.

By the very definition 'malignant', absolutely. Malignant tumors contain carcinoma - or cancer. If left unchecked, they grow bigger, metastasize, and new tumors will grow elsewhere.

It is hard to prove if stress causes NHL because it is difficult to isolate it as a potential cause in studies

However, when I asked my oncologist what he thought, off the record, what was the major contributor to NHL and other cancers he replied without hesitation - 'stress'

NHL is a rare disease so there must be some kind of uncommon seed such as genes or exposure to a contaminant to start with

I believe that chronic stress, or more importantly, the response to stress can play a significant role in cultivating this seed

Personally, I was a person who was constantly stressed - self induced stress you could call it - whether is was through getting uptight about really small everyday issues or pushing myself too hard at work or with exercise (running ultra marathons)

Then, leading up to my NHL diagnosis there were a couple of extraordinary incidents that I believe were the straw that broke the camel's back, namely having my company almost go bankrupt and facing the prospect of huge debts for an extended period (about 18 months before diagnosis) and then having some serious back problems

Again, it is impossible to know for sure but that is my gut feeling

Many people are affected by skin cancer but in Australia, 1000 people get diagnosed each year and 1600 Australians die.

There is a way to prevent it. Follow the five steps to avoid cancer rule and you'll be fine. They are:

1. Wear a shirt

2. Put sunscreen on

3. Use an umbrella

4. Wear a hat

5. Wear sunglasses

He died of cancer in 1993 - he was in Africa.

As of August 2014, cancer kills one in four people in the United States. That amounts to 1,500 people being diagnosed per day. This means that over 350,000 people have been affected by cancer so far in 2014.

Yes, and it often does in the early stages. Evidence shows that many small tumours are stopped by the immune system before they are big enough to see.

Once a tumour is large enough to see, it usually means that the immune system has failed to stop it, and in most cases other methods must be tried.

The main principle behind this claim is that outdoor workers have a greater exposure to the sun. Excess exposure to the sun has been linked to melanoma and other skin cancers.

The sun releases ultraviolet (UV) radiation which is harmful in large doses. UV rays are classified into UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C, all of which can contribute to skin cancer. UV rays travel like any ordinary waves and can penetrate into the skin. A chemical in the skin called melanin, which pigments skin, absorbs some of the UV radiation to protect the body. Sunburn occurs when the UV radiation exceeds the amount melanin can absorb.

As with any ionizing radiation, it can cause the genetic codes and cells to undergo a mutation, causing cells to change functions and in some cases divide uncontrollably.

If you work outdoors, it is vital you protect yourself from excess sun exposure. Always find shade if possible, apply SPF 30+ sunblock lotion, wear a hat, wear UV safe sunglasses and cover exposed body parts.

Any mole or freckle that changes its shape, size of colour should be reported immediately to your medical doctor for evaluation. If you suspect any abnormal skin changes, have it checked by a medical doctor for possible skin cancer.

It can take up to one year after prostate surgery to know if you will be able to achieve an erection.

Also, if the nerves that run along the sides of the prostate gland, which control erection, were damaged or cut, this could effect the ability to achieve an erection.

See your doctor for a follow-up exam to see if the nerves were in fact cut or damaged, or if your recovery is still taking place and it may take a bit longer for normal sexual function to be restored.

I would recommend also consulting with a doctor who specializes in prostate surgery and rehabilitation to regain sexual function.

If you are having difficulty achieving an erection, a specialist may have tools and therapies available to help restore this function for you.

The best way is to do a biopsy. But a bump on the lip can be many things.

The primary cause of skin cancer is excessive sun exposure. Sun lamps and tanning booths can also cause skin cancer. Tans are caused by harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning lamps, and if you have one, you've sustained skin cell damage.

No matter what you may hear at tanning salons, the cumulative damage caused by UV radiation can lead to premature skin aging (wrinkles, lax skin, brown spots, and more), as well as skin cancer. Indoor ultraviolet (UV) tanners are 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma than those who have never tanned indoors.

So regular visitors to the tanning salon are putting themselves at risk of further complications in the future.

The simplest answer to your question is that cancer is not a single disease. The term cancer actually references many different diseases that differ greatly in their origins as well as their underlying biology.

Many researchers believe there is a cure for each one of those diseases.

Researchers have already found a cure for some kinds of cancer, if they are caught in time (see links below).

Researchers have already found a way to prevent some kinds of cancer.

Alas, there still remain many kinds of cancer that we do not yet know how to prevent or cure.

Researchers still hope that, with a bit of creativity and a lot of testing, we will eventually have cures for these other kinds of cancer.

In order to treat breast cancer in its early stages, it is recommended that there be more than one approach. Pinpoint what type of breast cancer it is, determine how fast it will spread, and to which parts of the body. After that, it is important for the patient to choose a type of treatment to remove the cancer.
