Cancer

Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control and abnormal cell growth spreading to other locations in the body via lymph or blood resulting in the destruction of adjacent tissues. There are over 100 different types of cancer specific to the type of cells that are affected.

What cancer did John McCain have?

Yes, John McCain has been treated for skin cancer.

According to Reuters, Senator John McCain, who has suffered from skin cancer in the past, had a spot removed from his face on Monday during a routine checkup by a doctor in Phoenix. The Republican presidential candidate has already had four malignant melanomas -- a potentially lethal type of skin cancer -- surgically removed since 1993.

With election season heating up and election politics coming into full swing, skin cancer and melanoma may play a part in deciding on who is our next president. John McCain has been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma recently but more importantly has been a history of melanomas. The squamous cell carcinoma treated recently is a very common type of skin cancer appearing on sun damaged skin and is easily treated surgically and essentially cured. Melanoma, however, is a much more dangerous type of skin cancer and there will be discussion of this cancer as voters are concerned about the health of the candidates and want to know if the cancer can spread during the next several years. This is a valid concern and his personal physicians are discussing his health in the media. Let's talk a little more about his skin cancers so you can have more information to help you decide if this should affect your vote. John McCain has had 4 tumors treated that are classified as melanoma. Three of these are diagnosed as "melanoma in-situ," indicating that they were diagnosed early in that they were superficial and did not penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. This is important as melanoma in-situ is treated less aggressively as these do not spread to other parts of the body. The cancer that is the cause of cocern is the melanoma on his left cheek that was diagnosed and treated in 2000. This melanoma went fairly deep into the skin, with a depth of 2.2 mm. Because of this depth, it excised with wide margins and he had a lymph node dissection that showed that the cancer had not spread to the lymph nodes and presumably not to any other internal organs. Because of these findings, it is classified as being stage 2, indicating that the tumor was greater than 2mm in depth without ulceration or spread to the lymph nodes or other organs. The five year survival rate of this stage melanoma is about 80%. So should we be concerned for his health as a presidential candidate? This is not an easy question with a clear cut answer. Overall, younger people have a better prognosis than older people, women have a better prognosis than men, and melanomas on the limbs have a better prognosis than those on the face. However, each individual is unique and the fact that he is cancer free 8 years later is a good sign that his deep melanoma is likely cured. But melanoma is deadly because it can reappear later without any warning on any internal organ. We hesitate to use the word "cured", as periodic tests are done to ascertain that there has been no spread although he appears to be "out of the woods."

How do cancer cells suddenly develop from normal cells?

cancer occurs when your cells start growing to fast. It's not that they really grow too fast. That's the later stage where masticism occurs. Cancer is a virus. You got something, whether inherited or picked up. It grows like a weed, yes, till it is excised or one goes into remission. Or, you let it grow and it kills you once it hits the lymph nodes in your neck, underarms, legs and elsewhere in very specific parts of the body.

A virus is like a cold. No one knows where it came from or where it's going. In cancer it can dominate. One goes through stages with a cold just as cancer. The cold we get over. The cancer needs to be attended and excised. Human bodies can only answer so many kinds of insult to the immune system. Needless to say, a cold is easy, but every bit the same kind of virus. Colds are weaker virus.

Cancer tells the immune system "There is nothing wrong." Immune system reads it that way. No protective agent is sent out from the blood cells to combat said cancer even if the antidote is in our bodies! White blood cells are duped. Defense mechanism isn't told about the situation. No alarm, no foul. The virus from cancer starts growing inside, changing one's DNA. Nothing lost till motor skills, skin lesions and other horrors appear or are felt. This is usually just before masticism. Get checked! Get cancer virus before it grows inward! Could save your life, friend. If lymph nodes and DNA are compromised outcomes become poor. If you think it, get it checked.

Virus may be inherited or caught. I've had it twice.

What are genetic materials that cause cancer?

Abnormalities of the genetic materials are the only known cause of cancer. Errors in DNA replication and heritability of the genetic diseases are the cause of cancer during birth stage. Excessive ultraviolet radiation, any harmful infectious agents, tobacco smokes or chemicals are responsible for the abnormalities of genetic materials. Genes which promote cancer are called oncogenes. They are activated in cancer Cells. Tumor suppressive genes are not activated in the cancer Cells. For that reason programmed cell death and hyper active division and growth of Cells cannot be prevented. Inaccurate DNA replication, irregular Cell cycle, damaging the immune system are the major symptoms of cancer.

How do people get breast cancer?

Breast cancer develops when cells in the breast mutate and grow uncontrollably. The exact cause of these mutations is often unknown, but factors like genetics, hormonal influences, and lifestyle choices can contribute to an increased risk of developing breast cancer. Regular screenings and early detection are crucial for effectively managing and treating the disease.
