Such a tumor would be associated with a genetic trait through a variation in the number of copies of DNA according to a study at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania School of Medicine published in the journal Nature.

This tumor, usually fatal for the victim, could be part of a chain of variations in DNA copy number (CNV). Such changes are present between nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which features one side (in some cases) is a nature susceptible to cancer.

The study was led by John Maris, and he became involved in an analysis of genome-wide association in patients with neuroblastoma . Among the findings was discovered VNC found on chromosome 1 that could be associated with the disease.

The research team has determined that this genome is usually expressed in fetal brain tissue and that would be involved in the initial stages of tumor development.

The research says that the watercress leaves contain phenylethyl isothiocyanate, a factor which can slow the growth of cancerous polyps in the breast. This property, which is what gives it its unique taste to watercress to “pepper”, is acting as blocking a protein that promotes tumor growth.

For the study the scientists called for 80 volunteers who ingested 80 grams of watercress per day. Among those who participated in the test found that all had elevated blood level of anti-cancer molecules past a few hours after eating a salad made ​​from that plant.

The tumors usually develop rapidly and usually exceed the levels of blood but the phenylethyl isothiocyanate restricts the ability of oxygen, which in turn manages to limit the spread of cancer cells. The cancerous tissue by blood sends signals that stimulate the growth of healthy cells, through Hypoxia Inducible Factor protein (HIF), located in the central part of this process.

It is precisely where the beneficial element acts containing the watercress, in an absolutely natural, blocking the function of this protein harmful. Research carried out by British scientists was funded by the Watercress Alliance company and published in the British press.

According to the study published in the journal Cancer Research, lupeol, a compound that exists in the mango, grapes and strawberries, have an effective action to eliminate and control the growth of cancer cells in the head and neck.

The experiment was based on the administration of lupeol mice with cancer cells in head and neck. This component would act on a protein NFkB, a protein involved in repair and growth of both normal cells and cancer cells. Lupeol thus suppress the growth and migration of cancer cells.

They also underlined the fact that substance qe produced almost no unwanted side effects as other chemotherapies, such as weight loss.

The objectives for the future raises the possibility of conducting clinical trials in humans, as this protein (NFKB) on lupeol acts, would be activated in human tumors such as prostate and liver.

The basic diet is a diet adapted amended to make it suitable. It is useful in patients with chewing problems or have difficulty swallowing liquids (crushed diets high nutritional value, texture modifiers, enriching the diet).

Also useful are dietary supplements: are dietary products that contain concentrated nutrients to meet the nutritional needs of patients. Are indicated when dietary advice is not enough to meet the nutritional requirements.

On the other hand, are also useful specific nutritional supplements: polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3, high protein, essential amino acids and vitamin E.

In exceptional circumstances, such as tumors of the digestive tract, major surgeries, etc … extraordinary measures can be used for food, as probes, catheters.

Vomiting: You must reduce the intake of fats and fried foods with strong odor they produce nausea. It is also important to reduce the anxiety that does not contribute to proper digestion.
Constipation: exercise and adequate intake of fiber reduces constipation. It is recommended to consume in the form of fruit (prunes, raisins, kiwi, orange juice), whole grains, vegetables and legumes. Avoid fats and foods like quince, tea, or rice. If these measures are insufficient resort to laxatives.
Diarrhoea: In all cases insist on an alkaline hydration rife with lemonade and soft drinks and an astringent diet (rice, mashed potato and carrot, apple, fish, chicken and ham). Milk is not recommended, ripe fruits, jams, foods high in fat, insoluble fiber, alcohol and snuff.
Irritation of mouth: It is essential to proper oral hygiene dental review before recommending treatment. In general, a liquid or semi-liquid diet to avoid irritating foods cold mashed (fatty or fried) may be helpful.

This malnutrition is exacerbated by the constitutional box that accompanies these processes such as anorexia (loss of appetite), cachexia (weight loss and muscle mass) and early satiety. Poor nutrition contributes to increase the incidence and severity of adverse effects of treatment, thereby increasing the risk of infections. Although artificial nutrition is an alternative, nutrition should be based on oral feeding. A natural food diet supplemented with dietary supplements is the basis of satisfactory nutrition.

The haematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been consolidated in recent years as a good alternative to traditional bone marrow transplantation. This method allows cells in the bloodstream of a compatible donor, able to repopulate the bone marrow of a patient with leukemia, more simply and without anesthesia. A study published in the journal ‘The Lancet’ after 10 years of follow clarifies some of the doubts that still could be on its use.

For hematopoietic progenitors (blood stem cells able to repopulate the marrow) ‘enough’ to refer to the donor pretreatment to multiply the presence of these units in their blood and then extracting and implanting them in a patient with leukemia or other haematological malignancies.As explained by Dr. Javier López, a hematologist at the Hospital Ramon y Cajal in Madrid, the peripheral blood has an advantage over bone marrow, which is  “offers a faster recovery,” because it takes less time to ‘catch’. So, now usually opt for this technique to treat patients with advanced leukemias, to ensure that your bone marrow recover quickly. While in patients with less advanced disease, it chooses the bone marrow, which takes a few more days at work in exchange for offering a better safety profile.

To clarify the difference between the two methods in the long term, the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (from Germany led by Dr. Birte Freidrichs) compared the evolution of 329 patients with various types of leukemia treated with both transplants across Europe between 1995 and 1999.

After an average of 10 years of follow up (the largest to date), the researchers observed no difference in the prognosis of survival with bone marrow or peripheral blood (donated by both brothers supported). In fact, they add, although patients treated with this latter technique were more complications of rejection (so-called graft versus host disease), this problem has not translated into higher number of deaths.

In patients with acute leukemia, there was a trend of better survival (although not statistically significant) in bone marrow transplant with peripheral blood. Only in chronic myeloid leukemia were more positive results with peripheral blood. “These findings suggest that a subgroup of patients who can benefit even bone marrow transplantation.

“After a decade of monitoring, the higher incidence of graft versus host disease did not result in a greater number of deaths, nor affected the overall health of patients, nor to their social integration”, European hematologists complete these . In his view, the results do not allow to conclude for themselves that it is time to re-marrow transplants for certain indications, but the technique can not be parked entirely at the moment.
