Cancer

Pleural cavity wich is two laminas of a membrane. The Pleural cavity lies inside the thorax.

1. Genetic predisposition.
2. Exposure to known or unknown carcinogenic chemicals.
3. Certain viruses and some bacteria.
4. Exposure to radiation.
5. Old age.
6. Some cancers are transmissible from one individual to another eg Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD)

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. Central BioHub offers a vast collection of cancer samples such as ffpe tumour tissue blocks, frozen tissue blocks, serum, plasma, and urine samples screened for cancer-antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), cancer-antigen 125 (CA 125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The samples are gathered from patients at various stages of cancer and are available with a complete clinical evaluation profile.

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.

Any illness with a significant raised WCC (white blood cell count) especially at an abnormal level like this, with other symptoms point to leukaemia. WCC, is raised in infection as well as inflammatory conditions, eg asrthritis. however, not as high as what would be seen in leukaemia

I nedd to know about that too, because I had lipoma on my cheek and I cuted it. and now it grow up on same potition, and I'm going to the doctor for cut my lipoma again, but I don't sure about the future Will a lipoma tune into the cancen.

I'm sorry about my english, Cuz I'm thai and I waiting for answer help me please.!!

Sudden death can unfortunately occur at any stage of lung cancer. Staging depends on how far from the original site the cancer has spread. Basically:

Stage 1 is confined to the area of the lung where the cancer started.

Stage 2 means that it has spread to the lymph nodes but still near the original source.

Stage 3 means it has spread to the chest wall or to the other lung

Stage 4 means that it has spread to another part of the body.

Any stage can be lethal, but death can occur more quickly the more advanced the stage. This is due to the fact the cancer can shut down other organs besides the lungs.

Her2 is more aggressive than other breast cancers because hormone treatment is less effective than if you used the treatment on other types of breast cancers.

Kidney cancer has different types, but there are some symptoms to look for. Some to point out would be abdominal pain, back pain, blood in your urine, swelling of the abdomen, and even constipation.

There are a number of responses to this question: * If a single-celled organism, then it cannot grow because as the name suggests, it can only grow to one cell. * If there are no centrioles, because the cell cannot produce the spindles neccasary for the chromosomes to line up and so cannot reproduce. * If there is no genetic material (chromosomes/chromatin), because it won't reproduce, because it needs genetic material to make an identical copy and so go through the process of interphase and mitosis to make a new cell and grow.

Melanoma means cancer of melanocytes, or pigment-generating skin cells.

I just noticed the last couple days that my mother is getting jaundiced. She has liver mets from breast cancer and just saw this question. Can someone please provide an answer. Thank you.

There are MANY diseases that can affect the lungs of human beings. The most common seems to be Bronchitis and C.O.P.D (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). Various types of Lung Cancer exist as well.

The spread of disease or defective cells from one location to another part of the body is known as metastasis in the context of cancer, or dissemination in general disease processes. This can occur through various mechanisms, including the bloodstream, lymphatic system, or direct invasion of neighboring tissues. Metastasis is a critical factor in the progression of cancer, significantly impacting treatment options and prognosis. Understanding the pathways of spread is essential for developing effective interventions.

Can you descuss cancer as mitosis "gone wild"?

Yes, you definitely can get tongue cancer by chewing tobacco. You also increase your chances of getting mouth cancer. Chewing tobacco gives you stained teeth, bad breath, gingivitis, gum ulcers and worn down teeth.

Like any cancer lymphoma can, and does, take life. Lymphoma; however, is known to be one of the more treatable types of cancer and the number of deaths from lymphoma has dropped considerably in the last 30 years as a result of much more research being done into it.
