Cancer

The color of the Melanoma/Skin Cancer Awareness Ribbon is Black although it is at times Orange which is also the color for for Leukemia Awareness Ribbon.

Metastasis

yes. Chemotherapy is an internal medication with no adverse side effects to people near the patient.

Non-Hodgkins lymphone is very much a nasty disease. The five year survival rate is around fifty percetage.There was over twenty-three-thousand deaths.

One of the best sites to use to find the symptoms of lung cancer are any of the sites sponsored by the Mayo Clinic. Their answers to medical questions are descriptive and accurate. Here is a link to the Mayo Clinic's site on lung cancer: www.mayoclinic.com/health/lung-cancer/DS00038.

Your doctor will discuss with you the course of action to take after diagnosing the type of cancer you have, the stage of progression, and other factors. These days, cyberknife treatment, an advanced technology which delivers concentrated beams of focused radiation on cancer cells, is one of the best options to kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. The treatment itself does not require an incision, there is no blood loss, and it does not require you to go under anesthesia. Recovery time is quick and each treatment is 1 to 2 hours. Most are able to resume regular activities after the treatment. This kind of treatment was once limited to cancers which were inaccessible/un-operable, but these days it is used on cancers of the prostate, pancreas, lung, breast, liver, brain and spine.

Known as locally or regionally advanced breast cancer, Stage III can present in three different manners: Stage IIIA, the tumor is larger than 5 cm and has spread to axillary lymph nodes that are connected as well to the surrounding breast tissue (stroma); Stage IIII B, the tumor is smaller than 5 cm but has spread not only to axillary lymph nodes but also lymph nodes above the collarbone; and inflammatory breast cancer in which cancer has spread to lymphatic vessels in lymph skin causing inflammation of tissue. The five year survival rate is between 54-67%.

The pleura. I suggest you do a web search on this for a diagram, and so you understand the different layers and where else the pleura can be found.

In the blood or the bone marrow.

Leukemia usually starts in the white blood cells. Your white blood cells are potent infection fighters and they normally grow and divide in an orderly way, as your body needs them. But in people with leukemia, the bone marrow produces a large number of abnormal white blood cells, which don't function properly.

Prostate cancer is the single most common malignancy affecting American men over the age of 50; about 220,000 cases are reported each year.

There are two ways to expand your lungs:

1. Muscles in your chest expand your Rib Cage and pull your lungs outward, expanding their volume.

2. Your Diaphram muscles pull downward and expand your lungs downward.

METASTASIZE which is the process by which cancer spreads from one place to another. the cancer moves from the primary site and metastasizes to a secondary site.

While breast cancer is traditionally considered a disease for women 35+, there have been reports of girls in their teens with the diagnosis; last year a 10-year-old girl in New Delhi, India was diagnosed with a breast cancer tumor on her rib cage. Remember also that breast cancer is not limited to women; men can also contract the disease.

This depends on whether you are referring to preventing it happening in the first place, or stopping it once you have it - tho' the two answers overlap, tho' no-one can yet be certain, as the cause-and-effect of cancer is not known, just parts of this chain of events. The central factor is that a cell's DNA is changed such that the cell avoids death and proliferates increasing amounts of 'daughter' cells. Some things that cause this are radiation (including background radiation), substances that enter the cell and disrupt the normal cell processes and thus prevent the usual repair mechanisms, etc. Then there are things that prevent the immune system from recognising that a cell has gone rogue and thus getting rid of it before it proliferates.

Prevention: as cancers were rare in past times, it is now certain that there is something in modern Western lifestyles that has caused the explosion of cancer. The weight of evidence is that exercise, good nutrition (fresh fruit, veggies, low carbs, omega3 oils), avoiding carcinogens like smoking and asbestos, polluted water (arsenic) and environment (painters are at risk; enhanced background radiation from granite).

'Cure': presently thought impossible, only able to drive cancer into remission - where it may be dormant, but likely to return. There are 'standard' treatments - chemotherapy, surgery (cut out the cancerous parts and nearby tissue), radiation, and immunotherapy (BCG for bladder cancer, Provenge for prostate cancer). Each of these has its own dangers - chemo is inherently poisonous, but hopefully more to the cancer cells than the normal ones; surgery may spread the cancerous cells around the body; radiation will burn surrounding normal cells/organs - and thus shorten life on their own. So it is a balance of risk.

There are supplements that help make the standard treatments work better - enhance their efficacy and lower the side-effects, thus extending survival (vit.D3, Omega3, low-carb/avoid sugar and alcohol, etc).

The Internet is awash with promises of cures. It is possible, tho' unlikely, that one or more may help. Some have more science behind them than most.

There is a problem that orthodox doctors are admittedly ignorant of the supportive enhancers (diet, supplements, exercise) and so are unlikely to adequately advise on them. There is little genuine double-blind trials of standard treatments (this is not to decry them), just lengthy experience - but which means it can often be decades before it is known whether a new treatment is better than earlier ones.

That would be a Radical Prostatectomy.

I would ask your local tattoo artist. If your taking Chemotherapy your immune system is usually weakened and infection is more likely. But if you talk to the artist who will be doing your tattoo, he may do it but with more strict aftercare instructions.

AIDS more people die from it than brest cancer or diabetes

Vomiting and diarrhea could be indicative of many different problems. However, regardless of the cause, continued vomiting or diarrhea will lead to dehydration which, left untreated, can lead to death. Take your dog to the Vet for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Cancer is a disease that makes body cells turn wicky-wacko and replace all the good cells, and that eventually turns your body parts wicky-wacko. and you can die from it becuz its really bad 4 u. you can eat a cancer by chewing on it, then you get canser :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D yes u can get cancer cuz judith said so! :D my mom said im special!

heart,retina

Hi I am Satish. Above answer is not correct, as heart muscles can have cancer (Sarcoma= cancer of soft tissue). It is very very rare condition. Majority of heart cancers are benign (non malignant)

And the retina will also have the cancer that is retinoblastoma. It is the most common type of eye cancer in children.

It depends what type of caner:

Lung: avoid smoking or toxic fumes

Skin: Ultraviolent radiation

etc.

There are 2 basic treatments. One is surgery to remove part or all of the prostate gland. The second is radiation therapy to shrink and destroy any cancers that are present. The doctor and patient will decide which treatment to go with depending on the case in question.
