What are mammograms?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A mammogram is a safe, low-dose x-ray exam of the breasts to look for changes that are not normal. The results are recorded on x-ray film or directly into a computer for a doctor called a radiologist to examine.

A mammogram allows the doctor to have a closer look for changes in breast tissue that cannot be felt during a breast exam. It is used for women who have no breast complaints and for women who have breast symptoms, such as a change in the shape or size of a breast, a lump, nipple discharge, or pain. Breast changes occur in almost all women. In fact, most of these changes are not cancer and are called "benign," but only a doctor can know for sure. Breast changes can also happen monthly, due to your menstrual period.

Is stage 4 cancer concerned terminal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have a familly member who just diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma. Stage 4 is an advanced stage and usually means that cancer has spread through out the body. This does not mean that is 100% terminal. You need to look at the age of the patient, their over all health and the stage together. You should always be realistic and prepare yourself for the worst but still try to be supportive and hope for the best. If you are asking because you or someone you know has been diagnosed. Then i wish you the best. Make sure to always get more than one opinion on treatment and that you are dealing with specialist. You want someone who specializes on your type of cancer as they will probably have the most information and provide you with the best course of action.

Can cervical cancer be cured in its fourth stage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

that Ayurveda, including Punarjan Ayurveda, provides a definitive "cure" for cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is a complex medical condition that requires evidence-based medical interventions. The standard treatments for cervical cancer, which have been extensively researched and proven effective, include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies. These treatments are recommended by qualified medical professionals based on the individual's specific case, cancer stage, and overall health.

While Ayurveda may offer supportive measures for overall well-being and can be used in complementary ways, it's important to approach claims of complete cures for cancer with caution. If you or someone you know is dealing with cervical cancer, I strongly recommend consulting with medical professionals who specialize in oncology. They can provide accurate information about treatment options and guide you through evidence-based medical care decisions.

That depends on how far the cancer has progressed, what form of treatment one decides to get, the age, etc. A doctor should be able to give you a somewhat accurate prognosis.

This is why it's so important to go and have a pap smear twice a year. That is the way to know before it has gone so far it might be too late. So go see your doctor. Once you are in pain it might be too late and it can have spread.

When was Eva Peron diagnosed with cervical cancer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What is a hard lump under armpit mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Stop taking caffeine in coffee, soda, and chocolate. This has helped me reduce the frequency of lumps in my armpit. Now, I get lumps only when I treat myself to chocolate (I go caffeine free with soda and coffee). I can actually plan for a lump if I ingest caffeine. Nonetheless, you need to have it checked out by a doctor, because it could be related to lymph nodes or even breast tissue problems. If the lumps come and go, caffeine and check-ups may be all you need to control the problem. If the lump is constant, see a doctor immediately. Good luck.

Asked by Wiki User

I'm not an expert but from my experience I was diagnosed with moderate dysplasia, which eventually got upgraded to severe dysplasia after removal of the cells. The Doctor I saw which performed the small operation told me that it could be hereditary. On speaking to my family, I discovered that my mother, grandmother and auntie all had a similar experience in their 30's too.
