What tube leads from the windpipe to the lungs?
I am not sure but in the Respiratory system the trachea leads to the lungs.
Can a husband past cancer to his wife?
Cancer is a genetic disease. The main characteristic of this disease is it forms uncontrolled growth of the cells and these uncontrolled growth of cells migrate from the origin to various parts of the body.
So, A man with prostrate cancer can not give cancer to his wife.
Stan Walker [Australian Idol Winner 2009] doesn't have cancer but he carries the deadly hereditary stomach cancer gene that has killed many members of his extended family for many generations. Stan has regular gastroscopy examinations to check for early signs of the disease.
Can a person swim with a mediport?
When you have a port or other medical device it is extremely important to understand what the limitations are of the device. If you have mediport you cannot swim or take a shower unless it is covered.
How do you raise red blood count after chemotherapy?
FIlters the unhealthy sells.
To stop disease by engulfing and digesting microorganisms or creating anti-bodies to combat microorganisms. They make up the immune system keeping the human body healthy and disease free.
Basically, red blood cells carry oxygen the the organs, and white blood cells fight off disease.
Why don't people donate organs?
There are many reasons why people are against organ donations, although many are, for a lack of a better word, uneducated.
People have an irrational fear that by signing up to be an organ donor, that in the events of an accident, doctors will not try their hardest to resuscitate you. This is a complete myth of course, as doctors have to continue practicing CPR on your body-- even if you are brain dead-- in order to prevent your organs from failing.
Another prominent reason why people do not donate their organs is because they have never researched the life-saving operation, nor have they had a discussion with their family. Even if the patient wanted their organs to be donated, their mother, father, next of kin, etc have the final say on the decision. If they disagree with it, it is ultimately what is going to happen to you -- and seriously, what can you do about it?
Ultimately people's #1 reason for not donating their organs is fear and uncertainty of what is going to happen to them after they are gone. This uncertainty and fear play a very large role in your decision.
As well, if a cadaver needs to undergo an autopsy, the organs will most likely not be able to be donated.
When you have cancer what happens to the cells?
According to Dr. Otto Heinrich Warburg(Nobel Prize Winner 1931), cancer cells change from being 'Aerobic'( oxygen-fueled ) to become 'Anaerobic'( sugar-fueled )!
As oxygen can no longer be tolerated & becomes a poison to the cancerous cells, in their drive to survive they enter into the blood stream and travel to other areas of the body & multiply utilising the old addage of safety in numbers.
Can you get cancer from your husband who has prostate cancer?
No, you cannot get cancer from your husband who has prostate cancer. Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of cells, and is caused by a defect in the control mechanisms of the body.
No there is no way for a woman to get prostate cancer from her husband it is not transmitted in anyway.
No.
What type of tissue gives rise to sarcoma?
Sarcomas are malignancies that arise from mesenchymal tissues: (think of middle layers of body) bone, cartilage, muscle, fat, blood vessels. Examples are osteosarcoma-bone, chondrosarcoma-cartlilage, liposarcoma-fat, myosarcoma-muscle, and angiosarcoma-blood vessel.
What are the characteristics of stage 3 breast cancer?
All forms of cancer can metastasize (spread), as well, the underlying cause of the disease can spread.
Injury, toxins, ionizing radiation cause the body's repair system to kick in. The hormone estrogen is part of the electrical and chemical signals in the body to effect such repairs. Cells in the presence of these and some other hormones can cause normal cells to change into cancerous cells--from having a normal mitochondrial oxygen oxidation-based metabolism to that of a less efficient anaerobic, fermentation metabolism.
Estrogen is often found in abundance surrounding cancer.
The trophoblastic thesis of cancer is that the body's own repair system can go out of control and no longer respond to programmed cell death signals.
Certain microorganisms can produce toxic products as their waste material. These toxins cause damage that may trigger the body's repair system to kick into action. The malignancy may be perpetuated from these organisms.
The germ theory of Louis Pasteur may have been stolen from an earlier scientist in France named Pierre Jacques Antoine Béchamp (1816-1908), Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. Béchamp laid the foundation for the concept of pleomorphism-that microorganisms could take on different forms depending on the growth medium. In the 1920s-1930s a cleaver optician, electronic tinkerer, and scientific investigator named Royal Raymond Rife invented a powerful optical microscope that was supposedly capable of viewing live virus sized particles. During his observations, Rife claimed to have found that a number of the commonly known bacterial causes of disease had pleomorphic forms that included virus and fungi forms. He was supposedly able to culture one form of the disease into the others by varying the growth medium, temperature, and so on.
A recent medical scientist, an oncology (cancer) doctor from Rome, Italy, has observed and suggested that cancer can be treated as a fungus. A fungus has the same kind of metabolism as cancer. Dr. Tullio Simoncini has striking before and after antifungal treatment with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) video evidence that demonstrates that his claims are correct. Simoncini posits that the mechanism in play is that a fungal infection develops, is very rapid in its growth, and that the body protects itself from the spread of this disease by encapsulating the fungal colony inside tumorous tissues. This doctor's videos appear on You Tube.
Many medical scientists have observed that cancer usually grows uncontrollably in an acid pH environment, but when the pH is shifted towards the alkaline, the cancer dies.
Gerson therapy fights cancer. The Budwig diet fights cancer. The two diets are not mutually exclusive and probably could be combined for better effect.
A door to door canvaser for a children's charity engaged me in conversation at my door. The discussion spread to all sorts of topics. He said that a few years beforehand that he had come down with cancer. He said that he self-medicated using an unapproved cancer treatment, and was cancer free years afterwards. He never said what he did, but gave me a web site to visit. From investigating what was being promoted by the web site, I looked up the keywords elsewhere. Apparently, this man had taken cansema black salve capsules to treat whatever type of cancer that he had had. I had checked and indeed, cancer for a donkey on the surface of its skin had been successfully documented by a sequence of photos taken during the progression of the disease. He may also have introduced me to the concept of UCC law, and the straw man identity of all uppercase letters that appears on everyone's government and banking identification cards.
Cantron, Cancell, Jim Sheridan's formula is said to be an electrolyte chemical mixture that preys upon cancer cells by attacking their unusual fermentation metabolism, starving them in some way of things needed by them to produce their energy to continue to multiply and live. It supposedly works at an electrical level on the cells.
Royal Raymond Rife, the scientific experimenter mentioned above made a discovery that the microorganisms that caused certain cancers could be devitalized so as not to be able to reproduce or live supposedly using radio frequency electromagnetic radiation using a directed plasma beam ray tube. In the mid to late 1930s, Rife used his device to treat numerous diseases including cataracts, tuberculosis, and various cancers. He recorded the wavelengths of the RF generator device that used the most minimal time and output energy levels to devitalize the organisms. Modern day masters of physics scientist Gary Wade posits the theory that the toxins fostered by the microorganisms would suddenly be released from them when they died, and that these toxins would kill the cancer cells like a highly targeted magic bullet. However, Rife observed that the toxins released would cause cancer again eventually, perhaps elsewhere in the body.
Food-grade hydrogen peroxide, freshly ozonated water, or medical grade ozone has been used by a growing number of people to treat numerous diseases. The mechanism of action may involve the oxidation / neutralization of the toxins and or the microorganisms themselves, and the coercion of the diseased cancer cells back into normal cells due to the abundance of nearby oxygen. Several books have been written about treating various diseases including cancer with hydrogen peroxide, and hyperbaric oxygen treatments.
Vitamin D and C and E have been implicated as ways to combat various diseases. The dosage must be customized so that the serum levels of the vitamins are at disease fighting levels. The skin when exposed to certain wavelengths of ultraviolet (UV) light produces vitamin D. A chart from the University of California in San Diego indicated that persons with sufficient serum levels of vitamin D do not get certain types of diseases, including cancer.
Glutathione is important for anti-aging, and detoxification. Precursors to this chemical can be eaten so that the body produces more of this useful agent.
Peroxisomes are cellular orgella that detoxify the cells of your body. Certain toxins cannot be treated by peroxisomes and must be eliminated by other means.
Sauna sweating can rid the body of some of these toxins, however, some people can suffer heart attacks and strokes from the temperatures present in such environments.
Amygdalin and Laetrile are known cancer controls. Dr. Ralph Moss exposed the fact that the Rockefeller family controlled Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center deliberately covered up all of the successful double blind clinical trials of laetrile, but publicized their externally sponsored tainted study that showed that laetrile was no more effective at cancer treatment than the saline solution control. However, both laetrile and the saline solution (placebo) control groups had a 40% remission rate. Critics observe that saline solution obviously does not cure cancer, and so these Rockefeller appeasing scientists must have deliberately mixed the laetrile group with the control, lowering the effectiveness of laetrile, while at the same time increasing the effectiveness of the saline solution.
Knott ultraviolet blood irradiation technique is said to treat many diseases including cancer.
The Beck Protocol has been successfully combined with herbal treatments suggested by H. R. Clark to treat cancer.
Cancer is said to hate heat.
Cell phones and certain radio frequencies are said to cause cancer.
According to studies by professors Gary D Stoner PhD, director of the carcinoma chemoprevention and etiology lab, and John M Cassady, Ohio, ellagic acid excites activities of enzymes that detox cancer causing agents. Ellagic acid is anti-mutagenic, antibacterial and anti-viral as well as anti-carcinogenic. In one video this acid is used to impose apoptosis (programmed cell death) to kill cancer cells.
How do you avoid prostrate cancer?
It depends on how aggressive is your particular prostate cancer. In general, if you get prostate CA at a younger age, it's more aggressive and would need to be treated appropriately. On the other hand, if you live long enough, the majority of old men will have a slow growing form of prostate CA. These men often die of other causes (heart, lung, kidney diseases), but not because of the prostate CA. The fear of prostate CA and breast CA are a bit out of proportion to the death rate because of the "CANCER" diagnose. People should worry about heart disease more since that kills many more people. I have patients with uncontrolled diabetes, obese, and smoking coming worry about prostate CA or breast CA. Sure, I'll screen them for prostate CA and breast CA, but they should put more effort in controlling what's more controllable like stop smoking and diet/exercise.
How many people get cancer from smokeless tobacco?
THERE ARE few people affected with cancer due to the reasons of tobacco.
Cancer comes as per my knowledge due to heavy chemicals included & invisible
in our cooking oil, food, drugs etc.
What are three ways that cancer can be treated?

If it's a skin discoloration with irregular shape and other signs of skin cancer, he/she should see a physician. If it's a lump under the skin, and there isn't really much to see, it's probably a subcutaneous cyst, meaning an oil gland that got closed off and grows internally. If that's the case, it's not a big deal. Either way, if you're concerned, see a doctor to be reassured or treated as the case may be.
What are the prostate cancer symptoms?
Prostate cancers tend to be asymptomatic until well advanced. If you are symptomatic, your odds of recovery are greatly reduced. If you suspect prostate cancer, immediately see your doctor and ask for an ultrasound or color ultrasound exam. This is non-invasive and painless, yielding results that are more reliable than a painful and unreliable biopsy. PSA testing, according to its inventor, is useless. The important thing is to seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
True:
Cushing syndrome affects more women than men. The hypersecretion of glucocorticoid hormone causes patients with Cushing syndrome to develop a characteristic moon face. Redistribution of body fat causes a buffalo hump on the upper back.
What genetic tests are available for prostate cancer?
Firstly just to outline, prostate cancer means a malignant growth arising in the outer zone of the prostate gland, that is the part of any male human that normally produces secretions that form part of the seminal fluid during ejaculation.
So as with all cancers, the culprit is an abnormal mass of tissue forming in that particular part of your body i.e. cells in that area reproduce at an increased rate and no single gene causes the tumour to develop, but alternations in three types of genes cause tumourigenes, oncogenes, tumour suppressor genes and stability genes.
Onagenes are mutated and so that makes the gene active. The Oncogene can be the consequence of chromosomal translocations resulting from gene amplification or intragenic mutation affecting crucial residue which regulates activity of gene product.
So because of this gene activity, the symptoms of prostate cancer may thereby develop sometimes due enlargement of the prostate and so include difficulty in you starting to pass urine, poor flow and increased frequency of visiting toilet and in advanced cases, pain may be caused by involvement of nerves within the pelvis or by spread of cancer to bones anywhere in your body.
Tumour suppressor genes get targeted by genetic alterations, mutations reducing the activity of the gene product due missense mutation at residue that causes a truncated protein from deletion or insertion of various sizes or from epigenetic silencing.
So once diagnosed, treatment for prostate cancer depends on how far it has progressed as a consequence of this gene activity. Treatment may be by prosectomy (surgical removal of the prostate) or radiotherapy involving ionizing radiation passed through the diseased tissue. If the cancer has spread to other parts of your body before it was discovered you may be helped by reducing level of testosterone by surgical removal of the testes or by giving oestrogen drugs which block release of the pituitary hormone that regulates the release of testosterone.
Is chemotherapy used for treatment other than cancer?
Yes. Methotrexate is now being used as a treatment (low dosage) for some autoimmune diseases, including ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma.
Can you get cancer in the apex of the lung or lungs?
Yes, you can get cancer in the apex of either lung. They are called Pancoast Tumors and are a subset of lung cancer.
Heart cancer is very rare and usually comes from other areas of the body. It may affect the apex of the heart.
What type of cancer is carcinoid?
The carcinoid cancer is primarily located in the gut near the appendix. The next most likely place that this cancer could be found would be in the respiratory systems.
It is when cancer cells break away from a tumour and enter the bloodstream and settle elsewhere in the body. Its not good at all. It is vital that malignant tumours are discovered quickly befor metastasis can occur.
Barbeque is one of the most carcinogenic ways of preparing food, mostly from the high heat associated with the process, as well as the charcoal itself and lighter fluid added to or imbedded in the coals. Adding a lot of chemically-laden condiments (barbeque sauce, etc.) to barbequed meat makes the food even more carcinogenic. The least carcinogenic way to prepare meats is to simmer them until they are cooked, and keeping them free from artificial flavorings and colorings.
If you are talking about ingesting charcoal, which is often given in the ER after a drug overdose, I would have to say not very carcinogenic if used once or twice. Powdered charcoal rapidly absorbs whatever's in the stomach--including good things like friiendly bacteria, acid used to break down foods and to metabolize certain vitamins and minerals, and vitamins, minerals and enzymes themselves. Therefore, charcoal is not recommended for regular ingestion, as it will cause more harm than do good. I hope this helps to answer your question.
Yes he did, he suffered from stomach cancer, he didn't die from it, he was shot.
