Cancer

Cervical cancer is a tumor or growth on the cervix, which is the lowest part of the uterus. All sexually active women are at risk for developing cervical cancer, with those who have had multiple partners having an increased risk.

When detected early, cervical cancer is highly treatable and there are numerous treatment options available. The type of treatment chosen typically depends upon how early the cancer is detected. In addition, factors such as the age of the patient and whether or not they intend to have children, also factor into the decision. The most common treatment options are surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.

Surgery is a very common treatment for this condition and can range from a simple biopsy which removes just the cancerous portion, to a radial trachelectomy which involves the removal of the entire cervix. In more advanced cases, it is sometimes necessary to perform a hysterectomy and remove the uterus as well. If the cancer is detected early, surgical options have a very high rate of success in treating cervical cancer

Radiation therapy for cervical cancer can often be done internally by implanting radioactive materials directly into the cervix or uterus. Using external radiation therapy machines is also an option. Radiation therapy is an effective method of treating cervical cancer, and may often be used in conjunction with other treatments such as chemotherapy and surgical options.

Chemotherapy involves using specialized drugs to target specific cancer cells, and there are several varieties of chemotherapy drugs available which target cervical cancer. Chemotherapy may also be used before or after radiation therapy, in an effort to totally eradicate the cancer cells.

As with any cancer treatments, there are side effects involved with each of these. Your doctor will consider many factors before discussing treatment options, including the stage of the cancer as well as your overall health and well-being. Early detection of cervical cancer provides the best chance for successful treatment, so it is important to have PAP smears performed on a regular basis.

In 1951, Eva Peron's husband was running for reelection as president of that country. During the election, she was put to sleep for surgery in November, and was told that she was to have her uterus removed and that her surgeon would be the famous Argentinian surgeon, Ricardo Finochietto. After she was asleep, and without her knowledge, famous American cancer surgeon, George T. Pack entered the operating room and removed an extensive cancer of the cervix that had already spread to other parts of her abdomen. After he operated and before Eva Peron awoke, Dr. Pack left the operating room and headed to the airport for a plane back to New York. When she awoke, she was told that she had an uneventful removal of her uterus for bleeding. She was not told that she had cancer and soon afterward at age 31.

An ulcer can make you bleed to death, or it can eat through your stomach or intestines exposing you to bacteria that could kill you. Additionally, the acid from your stomach can leak onto other organs and damage them.

There are a gene code present in our body known as proonco genes which are responsible for cancer when these genes change into oncogen then they cause a rapid cell division which is uncontrollable and lead to the formation of a cell mass which is called cancer tumor.

The breast cancer survival rate varies greatly on the patient and their response to treatment. Breast cancer survival rates for early detection are 100%. Stage 2 breast cancer has a survival rate of 93 percent, the stage 3 survival rate is 72 percent, and the stage 4 survival rate is 22 percent.

Yes, all forms of cancer can cause death if they are not diagnosed and treated in time.

Medical Cancer signs will depend on the type of cancer. For instance breast cancer symptoms will be pain in breast, lump in breast. Lung cancer will show the symptoms like coughing, chest pain

The little hairs that catch dust and dirt get covered in tar so your more likely to cough and splutter. You wheeze more because you can't take as much oxygen.

Then there is lung cancer and other diseases. Before you take up smoking become a medical student and watch a person slowly die as their lungs fail, then decide.

It destroys the alveoli in your lungs so you die a slow and painful death because it becomes harder and harder to breathe...

Chemotherapy refers to the use of cytotoxic drugs in cancer treatment.'Chemo' means medicine or 'drug''therapy' means 'treatment'.

Chemotherapeutic agents or drugs are 'magic bullets' that destroy the fast-dividing cancer cells. However these drugs are unable to differentiate between the normal cells and the cancer cells and they destroy the former too, in their war against cancer. This leads to certain side effects.

Yes, unfortunately it is possible though highly unlikely for a teenager to get stomach cancer. I knew 2 people who had stomach cancer at a very young age one was a good friend. They were 21 and 26 respectively. Jeremy (21) was diagnosed with a very developed stage and only lived a very short 6 weeks. He played hockey in the OHL and was a draft prospect for the Pittsburgh Penguins, he was very healthy and never complained about any discomfort in his abdomen. Kevin (26) was also very healthy, playing basketball, I believe that he was originally diagnosed with an ulcer originally after additional testing he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Kevin lived with the disease for close to 6 months before passing away. It is very hard to predict and diagnose stomach cancer, or any cancer in young people for that matter, as it is very rare.

Very poor. Someone with this diagnosis usually doesn't have much time left. If they can wait to send their materials out for consultation and the pathologist utilizes immunohisochemistry (in an attempt to actually identify the primary site), the diagnosis may be changed and alternate therapies may be available.

Yes cancer will be cured but it may take a century's while to find the right periodic to it.

The warning signs of uterine cancer are going to vary based on the individual, however, some of the more common ones are pain in the abdomen and blood in the urine.

The growth of tumor-feeding blood vessels.

A cancer cell contains high amounts of iron, that's why they grow so fast.When you radiate them by bombarding them with radio waves the iron in the cells heat up quickly and destroy the cancer cells, but this also affects the other parts in the body like the head, that's why your hair falls out when you get the treatment done a few times.

I hope this answer has been of much use.

cancer are several kind.there is no remedy invented to stop the caner is true.we can prevent Cancer by surgery and other many ways by get the consulting from a good physicien. cancer even it is any kind will kill at it is in the end of the stage.there are many more research ongoing to help the cancer patient.many NGO's are helping to that kind patient to get live some days long.
