Cancer

In general, breast cancer is known as malignant breast neoplasm. Depending on the exact source of the cancer (i.e. originated from the milk ducts or lobules), the carcinoma can be classified accordingly (i.e. ductal carcinoma or lobular carcinoma)

Number One: LISTEN to them.. their fears and concerns.

Let them talk, cry, even let them scream if they need to.

I'ts the "Why Me Syndrome.'

It's sometimes a long and scary journey.

Be there emotionally and physically for them.

Always acknowledge their feelings.

Never forget them, keep in touch with them. Know that they

are not alone, anytime, anyday. Be available!!!

Go with them to support groups.

LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN...IS SO IMPORTANT.

The incidence of prostate cancer increases with age, and though highly unlikely, it is theoretically possible for a teenager to develop prostate cancer.

It is basically unheard of for a person under 35 to develop prostate cancer with under 0.1% of prostate cancer diagnoses. For the age group 35-44, the incidence of prostate cancer is about 9 per 1,000,000 men. The average age at diagnosis is 67.

They are a side effect of leukemia and acute leukemia.

Radiotherapy could also be utilized in the first stages of cancer or after it's beginning to spread.

It can be used to:

try to cure cancer completely.

make other treatments simpler – for instance, it is often combined with chemotherapy or used before surgery.

reduce the danger of cancer returning after surgery.

relieve indications if a cure isn't possible.

Radiotherapy for cancer is usually considered the foremost effective cancer treatment after surgery, but how well it works varies from person to person.

Brain bleeding is one of the final stages of brain cancer which can quickly result in death. As tumors grow in size, they can cause surrounding blood vessels to rupture.

Nearby blood vessels provide nutrients to the tumor and carry cancer cells to new locations.

Typically carcinogens like BPA and water soluble fats. Many foods made with high fat from hydrogenated oils cannot be properly processed by your body and this can lead to digestive cancers.

The effect of cancer on someone's daily life will vary much, depending on the form of cancer, the stadium it is discovered in and the treatment prescribed. If the treatment is radiadion therapy or chemotherapy, the result often will be with radiation that it will leave you weak and easily tired for a period. Chemotherapy often - mostly progressively so as chemo treatments progress - makes people feel sick for a number of days after each treatment and since your body's protective systems gets diminished, chemotherapy may make you vulnerable to other illnesses. So in both treatments the result will be that the patient will have to stay home and/or keep to his bed for a while, and after that can pick up his regular life again until after the next treatment, and so on.

A chemotherapeutic drug used to treat cancer must be more toxic to cancer cells (at least, to the cancer cells of the specific type of cancer which it is intended to treat) than it is to the healthy cells of the body. Otherwise, you could only kill the cancer by also killing the patient.

You can get cancer from anything that you smoke, rather it be paper or cigarettes. Its the carbon in the Smoke from the paper that will eventually damage your lungs and cause cancer. The only thing that is proven not to cause cancer when smoked is Marijuana(When smoked in its Natural State i.e Pipes,Bongs,Natural Hemp Joints). The only probable cause from catching cancer from Marijuana is The Tobacco leaves the Urban youths Smoke out of.... Don't smoke paper, Cigarettes are enginerred to be smoked even though they cause cancer. The chemicals are designed to affect you in the long run so you can continue to buy the Product(Menthol Non-Menthol{Doesnt Matter}).

Chemotherapy can be given safely to elderly people. The oncologist choses the type and dose of chemotherapy that would be best tolerated by an older person. As with any type of medical treatment, all risks/side effects must be weighed against potential benefits. And sometimes chemotherapy is given for palliation, which means, it is meant to make a person feel better without the objective of curing the cancer.

When you breathe in the cigarette smoke while smoking cigarettes or pipes, you swallow the smoke. The smoke in tobacco products has been linked to many forms of cancer.

Colonoscopy is being used increasingly as a screening tool in both asymptomatic patients and patients at risk for colon cancer. It has been recommended as a screening test in all people 50 years or older.

A metastatic deposit is the spread of cancer from the primary tumor. This spread is done via blood or lymph fluid.

Physical approaches to cancer include exercise; massage therapies; movement therapies like yoga, t'ai chi and qigong; breathing techniques; and relaxation techniques.

It could be your ear bone, or even an inflamed lymph node.

In 1961, a surgeon working in Uganda, Denis Burkitt, presented the results of his research to staff at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School in Britain. He reported that the incidence of a certain tumour in African children had a geographic distribution corresponding to rainfall and temperature patterns.

The disease, which affects about 8 in every 100,000 children in parts of Africa and Papua New Guinea, quickly became known as Burkitt's lymphoma. The influence of climate on its incidence seemed to suggest that some biological factor was involved. Three researchers, Michael Anthony Epstein, Yvonne M Barr and B.G. Achong, immediately began looking for possible cancer causing viruses in samples of the tumour sent from Uganda to Britain.

In 1964, they identified the culprit using an electron microscope: a previously unknown member of the herpes family of viruses. Epstein and Barr were awarded the dubious honour of having the pathogen named after them.

The prognosis depends on how much of the cord was damaged. Some people recover completely, while others have lasting problems and need help in learning how to cope with activities of daily living. People who develop spastic.
Yes.

Adjuvant therapy is used to decrease the chances that cancer will recur.

The length of time it takes to die from leukemia varies greatly. It really depends upon how advanced the illness is, how much of the body it has spread to, the overall health of the patient, and a number of other factors. Some patients die within a few weeks of diagnosis, while others die years later, or don't die from the illness at all.
