Cancer

.survival once the tumor is removed is very good if it has not metastasized.For parotid cancers,the five-year survival rate is more than 85%.Ten-year survival rate is just under 50%.Most early stage salivary gland tumors.do not return.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most severe cancers there is. Whilst it can metastsize in a lot of different areas of the body, the most common is to the liver. Unfortunately the five year survival rate for it is around 5% and the median survival from being diagnosed is 3-6 months. It requires chemotherapy, radiotherapy and sometimes a surgery called a Whipples proceedure to give the patient a little more time. Hope this information is helpful.

You should be regularly checking yourself, especially parts of your body that get exposed to the sun, for of the following. Your doctor should also watch for these in your regular physicals. If you're in an especially high-risk group, you may want regularly schedule professional examinations of your skin.

A bump that repeatedly bleeds and crusts over or hasn't healed for more than three weeks. A red or tender flat spot that bleeds easily. A transparent bump with tiny, visible blood vessels. A smooth bump with a raised border and indented middle. A red, irritated, crusty patch of skin that doesn't heal. A shiny area of tight-looking skin, especially on the face, that looks like a scar and has poorly defined edges. Any growth in a wart or mole. Any change in the surface of a skin growth. Any asymmetry or irregularity in the shape in a skin growth, e.g., if it's not an even shape on both sides, or the edges are jagged. Any asymmetry or change in the color of skin growth, e.g. it's brown or black, or has dashes of these colors, or even red, blue, or white. Any sore that does not heal. In addition, early symptoms of a malignant melanoma might be if a mole gets thicker, or becomes worn down and crusty, or soft and flaky, or if it itches or burns. In later stages, a melanoma could turn into an ulcerous sore, or become painful and bleed.

== == No, anemia is just the term for low iron in your blood. While it's not a healthy condition, it doesn't cause cancer. Diet can help anemia, eating foods high in iron like meat, or if your vegetarian, certain beans and other non-meat foods.

My son was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder at the age of 20 months. While receiving therapy. He displayed many symptoms of early Autism but no one wanted to put that label on him yet. So about 6 months later, just when we were getting into the swing of things and I was learning everything that i could about his disability when he fell ill with a horrible fever. It was so bad and wouldn't break so I rushed him into the nearest er. Blood tests that were performed came back abnormal and they wanted to check further. More blood tests and a lumbar puncture were to confirm that my son was severely anemic, neutropenic, and needed several blood transfusions. He was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) Almost 3 years later, here we are with only a few more months of chemotherapy to go (he is 5 1/2 years old today) and his school wants to do more evaluations on him since he will start kindergarten next year. His speech issues and sensory problems are getting better, but he remains still very developmentally delayed. His recent evals conclude that my son is on the Autistic spectrum, moderate to severe in some areas. He cannot continue schooling at that school because they do not have all the resources to care for a child that severe. So off to a new school come August of 2011. I am very happy that after all this time, he has finally been diagnosed. But at the same time, I am heart broken once again. Another diagnosis, more therapy. On the bright side, he will be cancer free come July 2011! For such a young boy, he has been though an awful lot, but everything happens for a reason. So to answer your question, I cannot totally answer that. I do know that my son has Autsim and cancer (leukemia) but I am pretty sure that this is very rare as I cannot find any information anywhere on the internet. I cannot find a connection. The only thing I have come up with is that maybe my son has a weak immune system and maybe something triggered both the Autsim and cancer, or maybe made him more prone to both. I guess I will never really know. I hoped I have helped you out somewhat. Take care.

The two are definitely related in my daughter's case. Google NataliesTrekCIC and contact me if you want more info.

The cancer treatment choices your doctor recommends depends on the sort and stage of cancer, potential facet effects, and also the patient's preferences and overall health. In cancer care, differing kinds of doctors typically work along to form a patient's overall treatment set up that mixes differing kinds of treatments. this is often referred to as a multidisciplinary team.

Cancer is a medical condition characterised by the abnormal and uncontrolled proliferation of cells, resulting in the formation of solid tumours that can spread to healthy tissues and create neoplasms.

I have a familly member who just diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma. Stage 4 is an advanced stage and usually means that cancer has spread through out the body. This does not mean that is 100% terminal. You need to look at the age of the patient, their over all health and the stage together. You should always be realistic and prepare yourself for the worst but still try to be supportive and hope for the best. If you are asking because you or someone you know has been diagnosed. Then i wish you the best. Make sure to always get more than one opinion on treatment and that you are dealing with specialist. You want someone who specializes on your type of cancer as they will probably have the most information and provide you with the best course of action.

i had these symptoms. went to the doc she did mammograms and ultrsounds and sent me home saying that those were clear and that i would just have to learn to live with this painful growing lump in my breast on the inner part near the breast bone. thank god i had enogh sense to demand an mri because she didnt want to give me one. it was the mri that found stage 4 breast cancer growing into my breast bone and ribs. i am now in a med malpractice lawsuit with her while going through chemo. my warning to you is this- see a doc and be persistent. demand an mri! mammos and ultrasound are useless!

Basal cell carcinoma starts at the basal cells of the lowest level of the epidermis and invades the dermis and hypodermis. Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that is very common.

Expected Life Span with Aggressive PC

I have aggressive PC, and my Dr. is telling me that with near certainty, I will be dead within 5 years. Of course, I continue to hope and pray, that I'm the statistical anomaly who has a little more time left, (I'm only 52 right now, and I've already gone through IMRT and Hormone Therapy. The radiation cause avascular necrosis in my right hip, so I had to quit the hormone therapy for a few months to get a new hip, and I rebounded from 0.2 to 7 in those 3 months. I'm back on the hormone therapy, and looking for other non-standard cures I can try as the normal cures are what is expected to allow me the 5 years. The scariest part about the 5 years (from my personal perspective, discounting leaving loved ones etc) is that most of this is expected to be in significant pain, inability to work, and requiring medical attention. Since my wife left when I got diagnosed, I'm looking forward to this on my own for the most part. (She even took my dogs...) Anyway, the answer to the question, according to my diagnois is 5 years. I do believe that everyone will respond differently to the cancer and to the treatment. Additionally, I firmly believe that mental attitude will have a significant bearing on how fast you deteriorate or recover. Best of luck to all of you on this board, suffering from this personally, or helping those who do. God bless.

Cancer can cause a disease called para-neoplastic syndrome. And of course, the presence of tumors in a body can physically interfere with the normal functioning of any other system of the body.
