Cancer Diagnosis
The number of young people affected with testicular cancer
The conference “Asexorate” was a good time for the Department of Youth Care Tower to instruct high school students , testicular cancer, its impact on young people and self-exploration as the best way to find an abnormality.
The conference was offered to approximately 200 students from CETIS number 59, the colonial expansion of Torreon and Las Margaritas was provided by Juan Carlos Acosta de la Torre, a specialist in clinical sexology, which addressed several issues such as teenage pregnancy, diversity sexual and venereal disease.
According to data presented at the conference testicular cancer in young people between 15 and 30 have high statistics in Mexico.
The information provided was related to Human Papilloma Virus, the exploration of the testicles as a means of cancer prevention among youth and adults.
One of the main weapons against cancer is early detection testes for a full treatment or removal .
The testicular exploration campaign has been carried out in schools as School Venustiano Carranza, Institute London School LUZAC, among several others.
Soursop, helps kill cancer cells
Its scientific name is Annona muricata and is part of the family of the c. Grown mainly in tropical America, Southeast Asia and islands, the Philippines , is a fruit that could represent a revolution in scientific level of proven its ability to kill cancer cells without harming healthy ones.
The guava has a fruit similar to cherimoya and weighs between 2 and 4 kilos, with a white pulp / yellow very fleshy, with abundant juice and a sour taste.
It is said that this fruit has properties that can make a real revolution in scientific, since it has been found to have capacity to kill cancer cells without affecting the rest of the sound.
Furthermore, no side effects as chemotherapy (weight loss, nausea, hair loss) and does not attack the immune system leaving it susceptible to being affected by common diseases.
It also has anti-bacterial properties make it an effective remedy to fight infections caused by fungi and bacteria .
Now if all of the above is true the immediate question is why is not widespread use of this medicinal plant and the response level is the low profitability of the product.
Being a natural result can not be obtained a patent for a company and have decided to exploit the uniqueness of your advertising, would detract from the fact that profitability if looked at from the standpoint of a business.
All companies are aware that not enjoy any benefit if they decide to invest resources and time in various trials of this product for later sale and as a result of this equation the potential consumers are deprived of enjoying their medicinal properties.
Skin Cancer
The two types of skin cancer are basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer. Generally, this type of disease on the face, neck, hands, arms and head. Another type of skin cancer more dangerous but less common than the so-called melanoma.
Anyone can get skin cancer, however there are some behaviors that may increase the chances of suffering, including:
• They spend much time basking in the sun and do it without proper protection.
• People of skin and eyes.
• Family history.
• People over 50 years of age.
Any suspicion or indication on the skin or at the slightest change in appearance in the epidermis should be the referral.
When detected early there are greater chances that the treatment is effective and achieving a complete remission of cancer.
To protect yourself it is advisable not to sunbathe at the times where its rays are strongest (between 10 am and 4 pm), always using the right sunscreen and sunglasses also provide 100% protection .
It is important to monitor and check the skin regularly for any changes in either birthmarks, moles or spots , as these can be a sign of skin cancer.
New test to detect bladder cancer
Researchers from the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona and Puigvert Foundation promoted a novel procedure to locate the bladder cancer based on a urine sample. The sample, according to experts, is more reliable and effective than existing and would go on sale in 2013.
Scientists say that this test is more reliable than those that exist today, because it is capable of recognizing up to 12 genes related to the pathology and 2 which are closely linked to the likely aggressiveness of the tumor , a combination that really has a sensitivity high and specific in diagnosing bladder cancer. Studies currently underway, however, are able to identify only a few genes or only one.
Bladder cancer after the prostate is the second most common tumor in the genitourinary tract, affecting more than 15000 people per year in Spain.
In the course of the disease, people with bladder cancer should undergo an average of 20 cystoscope. This procedure is not pleasant or comfortable, since it consists in entering with a camera through the urethra to examine the bladder and examine the evolution of cancer.
Finally, we mention that the chief of Urology at the Hospital Clinic, Antonio Alcaraz, said to be ratified by the values of this study with about a thousand patients in three hospitals in Spain, one Dutch and one from Austria.
What is prostate cancer
The prostate cancer is one of the greatest scourges of the male sector of the population. It is also one of the most common diseases in this branch social, and early diagnosis can save many lives. There is a massive aversion to the examinations for the detection of this cancer , but it is very necessary to be carried out in order to treat it properly if its appearance.
After 40 years of age is almost obligatory to prostate exam every year. The most common is the digital rectal exam performed by a urologist, although there are several studies and analysis that can be used for the detection of cancer. The elderly are more prone to this disease, which is very important to make an annual inspection to avoid any surprises.
The list of symptoms of this disease is quite varied. If you are experiencing any of the following, it is best to consult your doctor a trust: painful urination , loss, blood in excreta and muscular pain in the spine area, groin and testicles. Remember that early diagnosis can help an effective treatment that reduces the risk of death.
Nor is it a matter of living scared, but it is always useful to encourage prevention. Note that to maintain good eating habits and physical activity significantly decreases the risk of prostate cancer. Also, remember that the familial predisposition is also a condition for having this condition.
Chemotherapy in old age
When you are elderly and cancer is found in our bodies, methods of fighting cancer are not the same as young people because many treatments like chemotherapy can cause damage complicating the picture ending a patient’s health.
Age is one of the determining factors in choosing a therapy to suit their own needs and limits of old age when you have cancer . Fighting a tumor from these circumstances is a real challenge because the patient does not receive the same treatment options one younger. Therefore, the risks increase and hope to emerge unscathed is greatly reduced.
Stockholm has been the focus of European Cancer Congregation 2011 that among the different conclusions reached is the issue of treatment of chemotherapy in people with advanced age. The idea is very clear, the risk of dying at least three times and any infection or discomfort during the treatment could be lethal to the patient’s life.
On the other hand, the faculty of Medicine, University of Athens in Greece analyzed for 9700 women with breast cancer between groups of 65 and 75 years for a period of 5 years. During the evaluation period is concluded that patients who were subjected to less aggressive therapies for their health and age were of a higher mortality rate product of tumor progression.
One of the first ideas that you must learn to live in case of developing cancer in the elderly is that the process is complicated, so the odds of beating the tumor is sensitive, yet, there are always cases (although counted) of people who respond to therapy with good results. As the saying goes, hope is the last thing you lost.
Lung cancer, the most scourge for women 60 years
One of the most terrible scourges to human health is the cigarette . This service attracts more and more people, and when walking down the street is inevitable to see many people smoking. Some buy this “habit” because they say it calms the nerves, others simply because they like, and others because to make them more powerful or more presence.
However, no one is aware of the terrible effects that smoking has on the human body. Does the principal? Lung cancer, of course. This is a disease that more lives are collected worldwide, and worst of all is that his work on the smoker is very slow, gradually destroying it.
For many years, the highest number of deaths from lung cancer was in men. But now that has reversed, and women are more prone to dying from the disease. In Europe there have been studies that show that the number of cases among females has increased at twice the previous years.
And the reason is actually very simple to identify: the cigarette. Smokers are started with the habit from a young age. Usually, they begin college age but in many cases you can see smoke in high school adolescents.
According to research, the biggest risk for women smokers reach age 60. At that age the body is extremely deteriorated due to snuff and soar into the stratosphere the chances of dying from lung cancer . A thought.
Cervical Cancer
As many already know, cancer is a diverse group of diseases that cause the body of an affected person produces a surplus of large malignant cells , which can sometimes metastasize and, consequently, the emergence of tumors that can reach be malignant (and in many cases can cause death).
The cervical cancer (also known as cervical cancer or carcinoma), meanwhile, develops in the lower fibromuscular uterus that projects into the vagina. This is the second most common cancer among women, not to mention also established as the most lethal cancer for women.
This is because the vast majority of patients suffering from this disease (especially when they pass through stage IV) die before long. Note that the best way to save a cancer of this magnitude is detected early and treated appropriately. Because cervical cancer generally do not present any symptoms, it is essential that all the women to have Pap tests annually to determine an abnormality.
On the other hand, note that the risk factors for cervical cancer may vary depending on the characteristics of the virus as the infected. On the other hand, it is essential to consider both cervical cancer and any type of cancer can develop in a few months or be produced for over ten years.
Main symptoms and diagnosis
Cervical cancer is most often develop in women who do not undergo medical checkups regularly. The symptoms of this disease include abnormal bleeding (outside the menstrual period), unexplained vaginal discharge, pain in the pubis and uncomfortable sensations when you have sex (intercourse).
Regarding the diagnosis of cervical cancer , it is essential to consider that this disease rarely produces symptoms. Despite this, sometimes the symptoms usually occur earlier mentioned, so it is essential to have an urgent medical investigation. While these symptoms may indicate another type of disorder, also may try to cervical cancer which needs to be treated immediately.
Treatment and prevention
Treatment for cancer cervical varies the extent of cancer, but usually consists of surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Therapy should be chosen depending on the severity of the cancer in question.
With regard to prevention methods that can be used against this disease, it is essential that women be vaccinated against human papilloma virus. On the other hand, is very important to undergo a Pap test every year and avoid maintaining sexual relationships with many people (otherwise it is essential to use condoms).
Finally, it is important to note that the snuff and the excessive intake of alcohol can also contribute to the development of this disease.
General concepts of vascular tumors
Cavernous angiomas are vascular tumors and tuberocavernosos that usually appear in the first weeks of life. It is usually present at birth. It tends to grow, sometimes rapidly during the first two years of life. Later remains stationary and usually subsides after the third or fourth year. In some of these tumors predominantly superficial vascular component, adopting a color erythematous papillomatous surface alive and so are called “strawberry angiomas” or tuberous. In other deep vascular component predominates, have a bluish color and are called corpora cavernosa. The surface component is referring almost entirely, which often manifests as a central ulceration or necrosis. Although there are scattered cases of angiomatosis, most cases are not associated with angiomas in other locations. Therapeutic abstention is recommended considering the autoinvolución of most injuries. Those located in vital areas like the eyelids, mouth, etc., Must be referred to a dermatologist.
The flat angiomas, unlike the above are present at birth and remain stable throughout life. Those are located in the territory of the trigeminal angiomatosis occasionally associated with cerebral calcifications and that can lead to seizures. When displayed on a limb can cause hypertrophy of the latter. Some patients are tributaries of laser treatment.
Radiation therapy and hormonal therapy in prostate cancer
It can be given external beam radiation therapy using high-energy linear accelerators or radioactive rods implanted or 198Au 125 in the prostate. The rates of impotence and urinary incontinence are somewhat lower than those that occur with surgery. Radiation therapy is the most widely used treatment for prostate carcinoma stage C.
Hormone therapy and chemical castration get a reduced androgenic stimulation of tumor. It is used as an alternative therapy for advanced-stage disease, though probably not increase survival, it does improve the quality of life for these patients. Among the options used are estrogens, LHRH analogues and antiandrogens.
The synthetic analogs of LHRH (leuprolide, buserelin, goserelin, triptorelin) act on the anterior pituitary, inhibiting the release of gonadotropins and serum testosterone levels achieved in the range of castration at 2 weeks of starting treatment. Avoid the trauma of orchiectomy and side effects of estrogen, such as gynecomastia.
Antiandrogens (cyproterone acetate, flutamide, megestrol acetate, nilumida) are competitive inhibitors of the natural receptors of androgens in target tissues, normal or malignant. Other anti-androgen drugs include finasteride, ketoconazole and suramin.
