An analysis of records of nearly 3.8 million cancer patients found that married people obtained the best results after a diagnosis of cancer, while those who had separated were almost a third less likely to survive a decade.

The stress of separation appears to be key, said study author Gwen Sprehn, neuropsychologist at the Faculty of Medicine, Indiana University. “Maybe it’s a critical period early in the course of the disease when stress increases have a particularly adverse effect on the immune system’s ability to eliminate or suppress cancer,” he said.

Researchers know that marriage in general is good for the health of a person, perhaps because the spouse offers both physical and emotional support before and during illness.

The findings, published online in the Aug. 24 edition of Cancer, published in the print edition of November 1 this magazine.

After the researchers made statistical adjustments in place to take into account any errors, found that 36.8 percent of people living separated after 10 years of cancer diagnosis, compared with 57.5 percent of married. Nearly 41 percent of widowers lived for a decade and 45.6 percent of divorced and 51.7 percent of those who had never married.

The number of separated was very small compared with other groups, against 51.857 married 2184055.

Why separate people die sooner than those who are widowed?

“The difference might be that the death of a spouse has to do with a natural stage of life,” said Sprehn. “Along with that, widowers may have a stronger support system, both personally and culturally. The separation, even if” best “is not an expected event in life and could be preceded by a period of great conflict .

Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, director of the Division of Health Psychology, Faculty of Medicine, Ohio State University, said the study is well done and fits with your own research about how most stressful disruptions affect the health of spouse.

“Many studies now show that stress and depression increase inflammation in a reliable manner,” which can aggravate cancer, he said.

However, the study leaves several questions in the air, apparently due to the limitations of the statistics used by researchers, said Liu Hui, assistant professor of sociology at Michigan State University.

The investigation took into account the marital history of respondents, or other details. “Previous research suggests that remarriage offer fewer health benefits than the first,” he said. Moreover, studies suggest that marriages last longer could offer more health benefits, he said, and the bad effects of crumbling marriages could disappear over time.

Noninvasive breast cancer or in situ.

a) Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS): Cancer cells are located within a duct, there is no invasion of surrounding fatty tissue.

b) Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS): The atypical cells grow inside the milk-producing glands, and do not penetrate through the walls of the lobe.

2 .- Stage I

The tumor is less than 2 centimeters in diameter. Has not spread beyond the breast.

3 .- Stage II

It is divided into IIA and IIB.

a) Stage IIA. It includes three categories: non-palpable tumor with positive lymph nodes but mobile, not fixed to each other, tumor less than or equal to 2 cm in greatest diameter with positive axillary nodes and tumors moving between 2 and 5 cm with negative axillary nodes.

b) Stage IIB. Two modes: Tumors between 2 and 5 cm in greatest diameter, axillary node-positive phones, tumors larger than 5 cm in greatest diameter, with negative lymph nodes in the armpit.

4 .- Stage III

This stage is divided into IIIA and IIIB:

a) Stage IIIA. They have the following modalities: non-palpable tumors, tumor diameter greater or less than 2 cm and tumors between 2 and 5 centimeters, if they have positive lymph nodes, fixed to each other or that have invaded other structures in the armpit. O tumors larger than 5 cm in greatest diameter with any positive node in the armpit.

b) Stage IIIB: Breast cancer of any size that has spread to the chest wall, skin of the breast or chest wall or skin and inflammatory carcinoma of the breast. Or any size tumor with positive nodes in the internal mammary tumor on the same side.

5 .- Stage IV

Cancer regardless of its size, has spread (metastasized) to distant organs such as bones, lungs or

Cancer of the anus is a rare malignancy, representing only a small percentage (4%) of all cancers of the lower digestive tract

In general, the risk of anal cancer is increasing, and there is evidence that individuals with human papillomavirus and gay men in particular are at increased risk of autism.

Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) represent the vast majority of all primary cancers of the anus, forming the rest is an important subgroup of tumors cloacogenic (basaloid transitional cell). These two histologic variants are associated with human papillomavirus infection

STAGES

Stage 0

* The anal cancer Stage 0 is carcinoma in situ. Diagnosed only rarely is a very early cancer that has not spread below the limiting membrane of the first layer of anal tissue

Stage I

* The anal cancer is stage I cancer that is 2 centimeters or less in greatest dimension and that has not spread anywhere else

Stage II

* The anal cancer is stage II cancer that is larger than 2 centimeters and that does not complicate adjacent organs or lymph nodes.

Stage IIIA

* The anal cancer in stage IIIA is cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or organs adjacent perirectal

Stage IIIB

* The cancer is stage IIIB anal cancer that has spread to the internal iliac or inguinal nodes (unilateral or bilateral) or has spread to surrounding organs so as to perirectal lymph nodes

Stage IV

* The anal cancer corresponds to stage IV cancer that has spread to distant lymph nodes within the abdomen or other organs.

TREATMENT

Previously it was thought that abdominoperineal resection leading to permanent colostomy was required for all but small anal tumors located below the dentate line, treatment with which approximately 70% of patients survived 5 years. Radiation therapy alone may lead to a survival rate over 5 years at 70%, although high doses (6,000 cGy or more) may cause necrosis or fibrosis.

Diagnosis

Strong circumstantial evidence of cancer can be achieved through x-rays, blood tests, ultrasonography, physical examination and medical history.

Prevention

Early detection and treatment are the best ways to treat cancer in animals.
The different animal classes Skin – Skin tumors are very common in older dogs, but much less common in cats. Most skin tumors in cats are malignant, but in dogs they are often benign. Breast – 50% of all breast tumors in dogs and in a greater than 85% in cats are malignant. Spaying your female pet between 6 and 12 months of age will greatly reduce the risk of breast cancer
Head and Neck – Cancer of the mouth is common in dogs and less common in cats. Signs to watch for are a mass on the gums, bleeding, odor, or difficulty eating. It may also appear inside the nose of both cats and dogs.

Lymphoma – Lymphoma is a common form of cancer in dogs and cats. It is characterized by the growth of one or more lymph nodes in the body.
Feline Leukemia Complex – The feline leukemia virus is contagious among cats and will occasionally cause different types of cancer. It is not contagious to humans

Testicles – Testicular tumors are rare in cats and common in dogs, especially those with retained testes.

Abdominal Tumors – Tumors inside the abdomen are common but difficult to diagnose early. Weight loss or abdominal enlargement are signs of these tumors.

Bone -  are most often seen in large breed dogs and rarely in cats. The leg bones near joints, are the most common sites

How is Cancer?
Each type of cancer requires individual care and may need a combination of treatment therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, cryosurgery (freezing), hyperthermia (heating) or immunotherapy.
Signals in Small Animals
· Abnormal swellings that persist or continue to grow
· Nonhealing ulcers
• The weight loss
• The loss of appetite
• The Bleeding or discharge from any body opening
• The offensive odor
• The difficulty eating or swallowing
• The refusal to exercise or loss of resistance

The psychiatric or psychological support provided to people with cancer a better quality of life because they can better comply with treatment.

There are many myths about cancer and the way in which people deal with it, such as: all people with cancer are depressed, depression in a person with cancer is normal treatments do not help all people with cancer faces suffering and a painful death. Sadness and grief are normal reactions to the crisis that must be addressed during an illness of cancer.

Since the sadness and depression are common, it is important to distinguish between normal degrees of sadness and depressive disorders. A critical element in the treatment of the patient is able to recognize the present rates of depression in order to establish the appropriate level of intervention, which could range from a brief counseling, support groups, medication or psychotherapy. Some people may have more difficulty adjusting to the diagnosis of cancer than others, and will vary in their responses to the diagnosis. Major depression is not simply sadness or a mood.

Generally, the initial emotional response of the person to a cancer diagnosis is usually brief, lasting several days or weeks and may include feelings of disbelief, denial or despair. This response is normal and part of a spectrum of depressive symptoms ranging from normal sadness to an adjustment disorder depressed mood, even severe depression.

The emotional response to cancer diagnosis or a relapse could start marked by an increase in the agitation. During this time the individual will experience sleep and appetite, anxiety, thoughts and fears about the future. Some indicators of what could be considered successful adaptation include: staying active in daily life, try to minimize the impact of disease on daily roles we play, such as father, husband, employee and so on. and try to regulate the emotions that are normal to the disease, and managing feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, worthlessness or guilt.

Patients with breast cancer at a very advanced stage it develop depression after learning of his diagnosis are more likely to die.
In the case of cancer in more developed stages, the disease is more deadly for women who suffer from depression before knowing the diagnosis

In the first post by February, a servant claimed that chlorine and pancreatic cancer are not related … it’s true. But in these Dr. Sanz told me, he knew first hand one of the experts Dr. Porta of Barcelona, that the compound they were talking about was not the only organ-chlorine, chlorine … and there published the second post correcting … for certain is that certain organ-chlorine (such as some insecticides that quoted in the first inning) are associated with pancreatic cancer.

The probable etiology of pancreatic cancer is related to snuff, diabetes, pancreatic diseases and exposure to organ-chlorine. If Fernando was no smoker, no diabetes or had had any pathology in the gland and white … well in the bottle: the most likely cause is exposure to organ-chlorine with which it had been 20 years.

So far so logical … if we lived in Denmark, peeeeero are Spanish and this is what happened:

1) Fernando died in June.

2) The judge has said in September that: a) not be considered an occupational disease because it is not on the Schedule of Occupational Diseases, which is true, is not and b) that it is not an accident at work because it must have a unique cause and direct … it’s also true.

What would have happened in Denmark? … Something very simple, there the Arbejdsskadestyrelsen (which believe it or not with that name is what comes to be our INSHT) does not break the head, and when the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC ) recognizes a human carcinogen or probable carcinogen, Danish law is assumed as such and Danish workers with the disease and have been exposed to this risk factor may apply for compensation … look at you that Apañaos.

So, for now, to look with envy … because until we get there we have much, but many, mill.
