How did Joesph Lister improve the survival rate of his patients?
Lister did not "invent" carbolic acid, but simply showed that using it prior to and during surgery could greatly reduce the rate of infection. Although he was far from the first to advocate antiseptic cleaning of wounds, Lister's work made its use go from the periphery of medicine to the forefront.
What are the signs of brain tumer?
due to tumers in brain they occers in the veins and blood pressure increases and the veins burst out and the impure blood spread in brain cavity cause sudden death
NEUROCRINE CARCINOMA is an old and somewhat ambiguous entity of malignant tumor. In general, NC is a tumor that demonstrates neurocrine differention. That can be a usual carcinoma with prominent neurocrine differention, a large cell neurocrine carcinoma, small cell carcinoma or an atypical carcinoid tumor(in the lung).

Hello,
I see you are asking "What are the causes for wilms tumor and pseudohermaphroditism?"
Doctors have found that some Wilms tumors have changes in specific genes: A small number of Wilms tumors have changes in or loss of the WT1 or WT2 genes, which are tumor suppressor genes found on chromosome 11. Changes in these genes and some other genes on chromosome 11 can lead to the overgrowth of certain body tissues.

What are other risk factors for prostate cancer?
Simply growing older increases a man's risk for getting prostate cancer. All men, if they live long enough, will develop prostate problems. More than 75 percent of prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in men ages 65 or older; just 7 percent of cases occur in men younger than age 60. The average age at diagnosis is 72.
African-American men have the world's highest incidence of prostate cancer-a third higher than white Americans. By contrast, Asian immigrants to the United States have much lower rates.
Risk increases for men whose father or brothers have prostate cancer. The risk is more than 10 times higher for a man who has three relatives with the disease. Risk may also be increased to some extent for men whose female relatives have a high incidence of breast cancer.
Researchers increasingly are looking at hormonal and hereditary factors and at diet, environmental exposures, and other lifestyle changes in relation to prostate cancer. For example, in countries such as China and Japan where low-fat diets are the norm, few men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. However, the incidence of prostate cancer is considerably higher among men who move from these countries to the United States, and the higher incidence persists in their sons' generation.
Researchers also are looking at the role of vasectomy in prostate cancer. Vasectomy is a surgical procedure that prevents men from fathering children. Some studies have suggested that vasectomies increase the risk of prostate cancer, although other studies failed to find such a link.
Avoid coffee, tobacco, red meat. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Exercise. Take Saw Palmetto.
After analyzing the scientific medical research evidence, the Prostate Cancer Foundation, the National Cancer Institute, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Mayo Clinic and other medical organizations have concluded that consuming alcohol (beer, wine or distilled spirits) does not increase the risk of developing prostate cancer. On the other hand, drinking alcohol (beer, wine and liquor) is associated with better health and greater longevity than is abstaining from alcohol.
What are the symptoms of spinal cancer?
Spinal Stenosis, also known as spinal canal stenosis causes symptoms which may include spinal claudication, loss of bladder or bowel function, sensory changes in the lower back and perineal area, impotence and weakness in the lower limbs. Spinal claudication is buttock and leg pain coming on with walking and eased by resting not related to vascular cause.
How many men have enlarged prostate glands?
Worldwide studies have shown that about 12% of men in Western countries get prostate cancer, while 50% have enlarged prostates.
How is cervical cancer formed?
It is caused by a sexually transmitted virus, called HPV. It progresses from a benign lesion to a low grade lesion. It then progresses to a high grade lesion which can progress to a microinvasive and then invasive lesion
Scientists think cancer begins when?
Scientists actually believe that cancerous cells are constantly forming in our bodies. However, under normal circumstances, these cells either die on their own, usually through a process called apoptosis, or are cleared by our immune systems. These cancerous cells form as a result of epigenetic or genetic changes within the cell. If these changes result in the cells being resistant to apoptosis and our immune systems, tumors begin to form.
Accepting or refusing cancer chemotherapy is a personal choice. Most people accept chemotherapy when the odds are well in their favor (e.g. 85-90% remission rate five years after chemotherapy), whereas many people refuse chemotherapy in the advanced stages of cancer, especially lung, ovarian and pancreatic cancers - and when the odds are not in their favor (e.g. 1-5% chance of remission five years after chemotherapy, or 10-15% chance of remission one year after chemotherapy).
Where can one purchase a breast cancer bracelet?
Pink rubber bracelets symbolizing support for breast cancer patients and survivors can be obtained from a number of breast cancer charities in exchange for a donation. The bracelets can also be purchased at Amazon, eBay, and PinMart, but the proceeds from these sales may not benefit cancer patients.
How do cancer cells grow and divide?
Cancer cells divide excessively and invade other tissues. They do not have density dependence or anchorage dependence. Simply put, regular cells grow in an even layer while cancer cells grow tightly and on top of each other - an unnatural mass.
At which ages are you at risk for colon cancer?
Colorectal cancer is more likely to occur as people get older. Although the disease can occur at any age, most people who develop colorectal cancer are over the age of 50. If Colon Cancer runs in your family and especially if a parent had it then get a physical by your doctor and be sure you are tested each year. Teens up can get what they call 'polyps', but these generally are non cancerous, but must be removed in case they turn cancerous.

How long smoking to get cancer?
This varies widely from person to person depending on their current health, the amount the person smokes, and many other variables. Typically cancer would develop after many years of smoking, but it does greatly increase the chance of developing cancer early.
In the United States it is illegal for 16 year olds to smoke
Surgical removal is one of four main ways that tumors are treated. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and biological therapy are other treatment options.
