Does chemotherapy work on stage 4 cancer?
Stage IV cancer indicates a significantly advanced and sometimes spread-out cancer. Survival is highly limited in the frist place; chemotherapy might have some chance, but this is much reduced from for example a Stage I or Stage II.
Do dogs get pancreatic cancer?
Yes dogs do have pancreas' and can get very ill with pancreatitis. Best advice is do not feed dogs table scraps, especially anything fatty.. My sheltie puppy almost died of pancreatitis, and had no table food. Vet never established what triggered it. Hope this helps!
What two heath habits cause cancer?
DNA-damage in the cell and unability of the cell to repair it are the two major cause for cancer.ALCOHOL ,smooking and ulcers are the major risk factor for developing cancer.
Can cervical cancer be cured in its fourth stage?
If you are aged 12-18 you can have a vaccination!
I had mine yesterday! I am 12 nearly 13! I am in year 8! you can have it at any age between 12 years old (in year 8) and 18 years old!
I was petrified before having it - my friends who had it before me didn't help! they were crying and everything and they had already had it! me and my bff were crying and on the way to the room to get it a lady said that we should both go to the nurses room and waited for ages (around an hour and a half) then we got it! one of our other bffs had had it earlier and was with us the whole time we were waiting! then we went at the end and i felt a absalute twit! it didn't hurt at all! plus i got a free biscuit!
it didn't hurt at all! the only negative points about it was -
that you worry and feel horrible before it
your arm hurts if you move it after (mine is stiff today) which is why i had the day off!
What is life expectancy of primary spinal cancer and secondary liver cancer?
It all depends on the patient because every responds differently with treatment. My father lived 8 months after bone metastases. If he had opted to undergo chemotherapy, the doctor said he may live for another year and a half.
What is the natural cure of cancer from north India?
Fermented Wheat Germ Extract (i.e. Avemar) has exhibited significant anti-cancer effects in a broad variety of cancer types and also positive effects in auto-immune diseases.[1]
Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) has been shown to inhibit cancer cell metastasis, lower cholesterol, and remove toxic metals from the body.[2]
How often do intestinal cells reproduce?
Intestinal cells reproduce frequently. In the colon the cells reproduce about once every 3 to 4 days. In the small intestine the cells reproduce about once a week.
Make a plan of what approach she will take to treat cancer.
How do you donate to the American cancer society?
There are many options for donating to the MS society. There is a link on their website to donate. Another option is to sponsor an MS bike or MS walk participant, or perhaps to join the movement yourself. The last option for donating is for government employees and members of the U.S. military forces. They can donate by using the CFC and selecting code number 11409.
What is the survival rate for bone cancer?
Prognosis:Metastatic breast cancer isn't the same for everyone who has it. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), your symptoms at stage 4 will depend on the degree to which the cancer has spread in your body.
Although metastatic breast cancer has no cure, it can be treated. Receiving proper treatment can increase both your quality of life and your longevity.
Metastasised:
To understand the prognosis for stage 4 breast cancer, it helps to know something about the process of metastasis. When cancer "metastasizes," it has spread beyond the part of the body where it originated. In the case of breast cancer, receiving a stage 4 diagnosis may mean the cancer has reached your bones, lungs, liver, or even your brain.
Stage 4 Breast Cancer:If you've been told that you have metastatic breast cancer, this means that the cancer has advanced to what's known as "stage 4."
Stage 4 breast cancer is defined as having spread beyond the breast tissue into other areas of the body.
Can you get anal cancer if you are a women?
You get anal cancer by sticking regular cancer up your bum.
Who first discovered brain cancer?
There is know way to tell who was the first person to have a brain tumor because most tumors went undetected in the days before x-rays and MRIs. In 1884, Mr. Rickman J. Godlee performed the first resection of a brain tumor.
How is chemotherapy administered to a lymphoma patient?
It depends on the type of chemotherapy. My son was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. His protocol called for several different chemo drugs to be administered intravenously. He also takes two types of chemo drugs in a pill form.
How is colorectal cancer diagnosed?
If a doctor suspects breast cancer, there are a number of imaging tests that he or she can perform, including diagnostic and digital (image stored to a computer) mammograms, MRI, ultrasound and ductogram. Additional tests include a nipple discharge exam and a biopsy of the breast.
According to the American Cancer Society, there are also several newer tests "such as scintimammography (technetium sestamibi scans) and tomosynthesis." There are not yet widely used and are still under evaluation for effectiveness.
Medical diagnostic imaging equipment can be used to view the breast tissues for irregularities. This is termed a mammogram.
A biopsy can then be taken of the suspicious tissue mass via needle or surgical procedure to determine if the suspicious tissue is a malignant or benign tumor mass.
If malignant, the cancer is deemed to be a dangerous disease.
Alternative and conventional cancer therapies exist.
Chemotherapy involves taking a known cellular toxic substance and injecting it into the bloodstream of the patient. These toxins kill everything at varying rates. The goal is to kill fast growing cells like cancer tumor cells. Unfortunately hair cells are also fast growing and get killed off by chemotherapy. The human immune system is also fast growing so that it can change and adapt to newly introduced germs-it too is killed off by chemotherapy. By killing the immune system, and poisoning many other types of cells, chemotherapy risks doing too much damage to the entire body by making it defenseless to all sorts of other secondary infectious diseases, and also risks that the cancer spread unchecked by the immune system that would normally attempt to destroy diseased cells.
Chemotherapy is, in effect, giving the person a form of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Should a secondary infection invade or preexist in the body, then the patient will have no defenses to fight off the disease, and will likely die as a result of this other infection.
Numerous alternative therapies often involve electro-medicine such as the Beck Protocol, or Royal Rife radio frequency machine treatments, and numerous diets that can be combined together such as the Budwig diet, and Gerson therapy.
A farmer in Nova Scotia, Canada re-discovered that THC Hemp Oil could be used to treat cancer. (Video search >The Rick Simpson Story<) Medical studies being carried out in Europe, outside the influence of the Rockefellers / drug / medical monopoly have been able to conduct more scientific medical studies of THC from cannabis / marijuana that have been forbidden in the USA and Canada due to the baseless ban on the substance that initially started in 1937 immediately after the 1936 propaganda film about 'Reefer Madness.' The aggression that was supposedly brought about by cannabis was falsified supposedly by people within the US government (JP. Morgan - Rockefeller CFR). Critical information available on the internet have indicated that medical studies were falsified to indicate brain damage would result from smoking marijuana--search >Heath brain marijuana smoke asphyxiation "rhesus monkey" "carbon monoxide poisoning"< A facts / fictions / myths web document about cannabis indicates as the DEA web site says that marijuana is addictive, but as the DEA web site fails to indicate, the addiction is less powerful than that of coffee addiction.
There are so many suppressed cancer cures that work that it is not funny. Some of these can be safely combined, but you must know what you are doing and know who can help you.
Alternative medicine is about treating the cause of the disease and not the symptoms.
The Flaxseed (Linseed) oil and cottage cheese diet was originally proposed by Dr. Johanna Budwig, a German biochemist and expert on fats and oils, and recently re-examined by Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP (Oncologist and former cardiologist) in 1990. Dr. Roehm claims: "this diet is far and away the most successful anti-cancer diet in the world."
Six time Nobel award nominated doctor says this essential nutrient combination actually prevents and cures cancer...
Dr. Max Gerson, M.D., came to America in the early 1900s. He believed in a holistic approach to health and invented for his own condition of migraine headaches the "Gerson therapy." Lots of Google videos exist for this therapy. The patient is analyzed for toxins and other things. The diet is customized somewhat for each patient, but usually consists of meals of cooked vegetables, coffee enemas, and drinking a large freshly juiced glass of fruit and vegetable juice about every 15 minutes or so all during the day. About 40 pounds of organically grown fresh food are juiced per day per patient. The amount of nutrients and fluids going through the patient's body is enormous. Coffee is a diuretic. When it is used as an enema fluid, it forces the kidneys to express more urine than they might normally, thereby supposedly greatly increasing the detoxification effects of the diet. The diet is said to dissolve scare tissue from old injuries, as well as eliminating many types of chronic illness.
Royal Raymond Rife was a clever optician and electrical tinkerer who developed a powerful microscope supposedly capable of seeing live viruses, and discovered two different cancer viruses in the early 1930s. Rife got funding from a rich magnate named Timken who manufactured roller bearings where Rife had developed an automated X-ray method of detecting flaws in the bearings, and rejecting the bad ones. So during the 1930s depression, with this money Rife ran a medical experimentation lab to identify microbial causes of disease.
Using some of the operating principles of his microscopes that stained his samples with various monochromatic filtered colors of light, Rife supposedly developed a medium frequency radio wave method of killing microbial pathogens.
Rife's first system used an amplifier that had about 500 watts input power into the output radio vacuum tube. Rife started the Beam Ray Corporation for radio frequency medical machine manufacturing. The AMA and their sponsors wanted to control Rife's treatment. They sent in agents (supposedly some brothers last name starts with H) who made Rife various offers. Rife refused probably thinking that his inventions would be suppressed. There afterwards Rife found himself in trouble doing his R & D and manufacturing of this medical equipment because his doctor clients were being threatened with losing their medical licenses if they did not stop successfully using the devices to treat cancer and a wide variety of other diseases that were at least in part caused or assisted by microbial infections of one sort or another. Rife had probably sold and trained 30 medical doctors in the use of his machine in California and nearby states, and maybe several doctors out side of the USA, including a doctor from Montreal, Canada. Whether Rife knew that some of these tiny organisms were exactly mycoplasmas, or viruses, or bacteria, he could only determine that some of these were able to pass through extremely fine medical grade porcelain filters. Much of the time Rife referred to these as filter-passing organisms / forms of disease. Rife supposedly documented and proved many times over that he could isolate a disease organism known to be bacterial, grow it in glass containers, at some stage in its life cycle be able to have the microbe in filter passing form (what Rife at the time said was likely a virus), then inject it in otherwise healthy animals to give them the disease as well. Without any basis in scientific observational fact, doctors in the employ of the Rockefeller family pooh-poohed the entire idea that the microbial forms of certain diseases had more than one life cycle form (pleomorphic forms). These were Dr. Thomas M. Rivers and pathologist Hans Zinsser of the Rockefeller Institute.
No other microscopes of the time could (and very few microscopes can even now) be used to view live "virus sized" particles other that Rife's own custom-made devices, so based on nothing, Rivers, looking through his own optical lab microscopes that were incapable of viewing virus size particles and then lied that he could not replicate the viral forms described in the published experimental results of Dr. Author I. Kendall of Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago, and Rife (PMID: 18741967, PMID: 17782489) , calling them both liars to their face.
An agent of AMA head Dr. Morris Fishbein (with the go ahead from his sponsors) supposedly provided $10,000 to Rife's business partner, radio engineering technician Phillip Hoyland, to file a lawsuit against Beam Ray Corp / Rife to have the AMA agent(s) placed on the board of directors of the company. Rife won the lawsuit, but the stress of the trial drove Rife to abuse alcohol. Fishbein testified under oath in 1938 that he had never practiced medicine in his life, and did not complete his requisite internship at medical school.
Later, one State of California AMA medical board doctor had the Rife devices banned when he took the stand and testified that they were unsafe, even though declared safe by several engineering and medical labs. Once this happened, the police authorities confiscated and destroyed the Rife Beam Ray devices from Rife's lab and the medical doctors who had previously refused to give them up.
My understanding of Rife's and others' written notes indicates that the microorganisms that fostered malignancy seemed to either make or eat or coalesce around deposits of toxins. When the microorganisms are killed off, they release the toxins that they have harbored, thereby killing the cancerous tumor cells- -acting like a highly targeted magic bullet to kill the cancer. However, the toxins still remain in the body, (Rife himself said that the toxins by themselves could be injected into a second healthy lab animal to cause the same cancer,) and can migrate elsewhere and cause cancer to form elsewhere. Therefore, the Rife treatment machine is acting like a painless surgery to stop cancer in one place, while likely letting the toxic cause to "spread" elsewhere. A combined treatment would be to detoxify as much as possible before, during, and after such Rife treatments. One Australian alternative practitioner said that he combined Rife, the Beck protocol, and H. R. Clark's herbal treatments.
Lately a published medical study of 163 Swiss late stage cancer patients was performed using radio frequency radiation. Frequency dependent settings were found to affect the tumors, and the associated pain from them. Search >Alexandre Barbault Lausanne Switzerland< Or see Pub Med PMID: 19366446.
How can you tell if you have cervical cancer?
This is why it's so important to go and have a pap smear twice a year. That is the way to know before it has gone so far it might be too late. So go see your doctor. Once you are in pain it might be too late and it can have spread.
How long will someone live if they have blood cancer?
They could live for a long time, but they need to take special care about what they need to eat and be positive.
What is the oxygen inhaled into your lungs used for?
It basically is used to burn fuel to power the body, more or less just like a campfire uses the air to burn. When the blood goes to the lungs, oxygen is absorbed in and as it leaves the lungs to go to the different parts of the body, it provides the energy. Therefore, the lesser the amount of oxygen in the blood, the weaker we become and body organs will die ultimately.
Why are lung breast liver and pancreatic cancer more dangerous?
I would not say breast cancer, but the others are so dangerous because those are he main things that help your body to live. With out them, you wouldn't live. And you can live without breasts.
What is a type of cancer that occurs in blood-making cells of the red bone marrow?
This cancer type is called myeloma.
There is not a specific can known as sertoma cancer. There is an organization called the Sertoma Cancer Club. This organization holds events, balls, and dances for children with cancer.
Cancer of any kind is not contagious. Cancer cells from one person are generally unable to live in the body of another healthy person. The healthy person's immune system recognizes the cancer cells and destroys them. There have been a few cases in which organ transplants from people with cancer have been able to cause cancer in the person who got the organ.
Why is lung capacity important for singers?
Singers inhale air into their diaphragm because it holds more air than your lungs.
How does a person contract skin cancer?
Most skin cancer is preventable. Just remember that the next time you spend your summer, baking out in the sun at the beach, without sun block lotion to protect your skin cells. While you may end up with a glorious tan, that tan won't do you a bit of good when your doctor informs you that you've contracted a form of skin cancer twenty years later.
Your skin protects your body against infection, light, heat and many injuries, and it is made up of two layers: basal cells and squamous cells. The top layer of skin contains basal and squamous cells, in addition to melanocytes, which are what gives your skin your particular shade or color.
Many different factors can cause skin cancer, including heredity and how much time you spent in the sun during your first eighteen years of life. Skin cancer is more common in light skinned people than dark and can start on any part of the body, though areas such as the face, neck, arms and hands are the most common.
When checking for signs of skin cancer, you need to know what you're looking for and what is normal and what isn't. Any change in the skin is something that needs your attention, especially if it seems to be a growth or a sore that won't completely heal. If it's a lump, it may appear shiny, or can be a reddish or brownish color. It may also appear as a flat, red, rough spot.
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that is diagnosed when malignant, or cancer, cells are found in the melanocytes. This type of skin cancer usually occurs in adults, but not always. Melanoma is a serious skin cancer, even more so that basal or squamous skin cancer.
The skin cancer known as melanoma can be treated successfully when caught early, before the cancer has a chance to metastasize, or spread, through the lymph or blood systems.
If you have any of the following warning signs, schedule a visit with your doctor as soon as possible:
Sometimes, skin cancer in the form of melanoma can appear suddenly, like a new mole. In men, these moles often appear between the shoulders and hip areas, and for women on the arms or the legs.
Nearly one out of every seven people in the United States will develop some type of skin cancer in their lifetime, and believe it or not, one severe sunburn can increase the risks of developing skin cancer by almost 50%! Don't mess around with skin cancer.
Wear sun block with at least SPF of 15 or more when outdoors or at a poolside or at the beach. You'll still be able to get some color. Remember that even on cloudy days, you can still get sunburned. Always reapply sun screen every two hours and after swimming and try to wear loose clothing that protects your skin if you're planning to be outside in the hot sun for more than an hour or two.
That glorious, golden tan that you aspire for every summer may look great with that nice little white sundress, but try to remember what may be happening to your skin and the damage that can be done for a compliment that lasts all of a second. Skin cancer lasts more than a second, and for many, it proves to be a death sentence.
