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.
Causes of breast cancer
Mutations in the genes, passed from one generation to another or acquired during life (exposure to radiation or toxic chemicals, for example, alter the genes) may also cause breast cancer. The genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, for example, are genes of susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer. Women who carry mutations in these genes have a high risk of cancer.
The survival rate for breast cancer non-invasive is very good. For invasive cancers, the chances of recovery depend on the type of cancer and its stage of development when they began treatment. To learn more about the stages of cancer progression, see our fact sheet Cancer.
Various factors influence the speed at which a tumor will grow. Tests on a sample of tissue taken from the tumor will influence the choice of treatment.
The two tests performed:
* Test dose hormone receptors. Some types of breast cancers are sensitive to sex hormones – they are hormone. This means that their development can be stimulated by estrogen or progesterone.
* Test HER2. In cases of invasive cancer only, a genetic test is performed to ascertain the degree of activation of the HER2 gene. When this gene is strongly activated, this indicates that the cancer may grow more rapidly. This is where about 10% of invasive cancers.
Breast Cancers More Serious
About 83 percent of the original study participants, about 12,788 women were followed for five years after the trial was stopped.
After this period of 11 years, 385 women taking hormones developed invasive breast cancer, compared with 293 who took the placebo.
Women taking hormones were also more likely to have advanced cancer that had spread to lymph nodes, 81 women on hormones developed advanced cancer, while 43 women taking the placebo did.
And a total of 25 women died from breast cancer after taking hormones, compared with 12 women taking the placebo. This means that for every 10,000 women taking the therapy, 2.6 die of breast cancer per year, compared with 1.3 deaths per year among those not taking the therapy, the researchers said.
The results of the fight against the suggestion of some previous findings that breast cancers arising in women taking estrogen and progestin may be less severe and less likely to cause death than women not taking these hormones.
Type of Breast Cancer
Noninvasive cancer
* Ductal carcinoma in situ. This is the most common type of breast cancer non-invasive in women. It is a form of cancer very “young” at the very beginning of its formation. As its name suggests, is formed inside the channels of lactating breast. It does not spread. Is diagnosed much more frequently this type of cancer for more widespread use of mammography. The treatment of this cancer leads to healing in almost all cases. Without treatment, it continues to grow and can become “invasive” and thus spread outside the ducts.
Invasive cancers
* Ductal carcinoma. It starts in the ducts. Cancer cells through the wall channels.
* Lobular carcinoma. Cancer cells appear in the lobules, and then through the wall of the lobules and are scattered in the surrounding tissues.
* Inflammatory carcinoma. A rare cancer that is characterized primarily by a breast can become red, swollen and hot. The skin of the breast may also take the form of an orange peel. This type of cancer progresses faster and is more difficult to treat.
* Other carcinomas (medullary, colloid or mucinous, tubular, papillary). These types of breast cancer are more rare. The main differences between these types of cancer based on the type of cells affected.
* Paget’s Disease. A rare cancer that manifests itself through a small wound on the nipple that does not heal.
There are several risk factors for breast cancer. However, in most cases it is impossible to explain the reasons for its occurrence in a particular person.
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women around the world.1. It occurs most often after menopause. It is not the most deadly: lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death among women.
One in 9 women may be suffering from breast cancer in her lifetime. Men may also be affected, but rarely. Less than 1% of cases of breast cancer affecting men.
The number of patients increased slightly but steadily over the past 3 decades. For cons, the mortality rate has steadily declined over the same period, thanks to advances in screening, diagnosis and treatment.
The breast consists of fat, glands and channels (see diagram cons). The glands arranged in lobules produce milk and canals (ducts) are used to transport the milk to the nipple. Breast tissue is influenced by hormones produced by women in varying amounts throughout their life (puberty, pregnancy, lactation). These hormones are estrogen and progesterone.
Cancer indicates the presence of abnormal cells. These abnormal cells multiply uncontrollably. Cancer cells can remain in the breast or spread throughout the body by the blood or lymphatic vessels. Most of the time, the progression of breast cancer takes many months and even years. Read the rest of this entry »
Anal Cancer Details
Anal cancer is a disease in which malignant cells form (cancer) in the tissues of the anus.
The anus is the end point of the large intestine, below the rectum, through which the body dismissed the stool (solid waste). The anus is formed partly by the outer layers of skin on the body and partly from the intestine. Two ring-shaped muscles, called sphincter muscles, open and close the anal opening to allow stool to be evacuated from the body. The anal canal, the part of the year that lies between the rectum and the anal opening, is about 1 ½ inches long.
Anatomy of the lower digestive system, showing the colon and other organs.
The skin around the outside of the anus is called the perianal area. Tumors in this area are skin tumors, not anal cancer.
Being infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV, for its acronym in English) may influence the risk of anal cancer.
Among the risk factors include: Read the rest of this entry »
STAGE INFORMATION
The anal canal extends from the rectum to the perianal skin, and is lined by a mucous membrane that covers the internal sphincter. Below is a classification system for anal canal cancer has been described by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC by its acronym in English) and the International Union Against Cancer. Margin tumors anal (located below the anal verge and involving the perianal skin with hair) are classified with skin tumors.
TNM Definitions
Primary tumor (T)
TX: Can not evaluate the primary tumor
T0: No evidence of primary tumor
Tis: Carcinoma in situ
T1: Tumor 2 cm or less in greatest dimension Read the rest of this entry »
Lung cancer for non-smokers, the guilt of a gene
A gene is responsible for lung cancer in non-smokers
Research sheds light on the possible genetic origin of lung tumors in their lives in those who have never smoked a cigarette or almost
lung-geneMILANO – Sick of lung cancer and had never touched a cigarette is possible. But there is a genetic explanation. The ‘fault’ is a gene, the ‘GPC5. Scientists believe that a low activity of this gene is responsible for the disease. Read the rest of this entry »
Discovered the head of lung cancer in nonsmokers
The lungs are one of the areas most affected by cancer and we know how to be a smoker goes to affect the possibility of getting sick.
But unfortunately, even for those who have never lit a cigarette, there is also a risk of developing lung cancer. Sure, of 15-20 times lower than those who smoke but, nevertheless, among the sick is a tangible 53% women and 15% of male non-smokers. Read the rest of this entry »
Breast Cancer
Being ‘breast cancer‘ creates fear that the outside can be for women, in addition merciless, this cancer often comes suddenly, without permission.
But with the increasing awareness of women to conduct routine checks on her breasts. So, more day mortality rate of this cancer can be reduced further. Especially in patients under the age of 30 years. But if it turns out this cancer was already residing in your body, given the very rapid development of stage 1 to hopeless only takes less than five years. So you must be willing to do various kinds of tests, examinations and undergo a series of super-intensive treatment. All this was done so that the development of cancer cells can be identified wild spreading rate. This is called the ‘stage’. No need to panic, because the progress of medical technology is growing day by day. So there are many possibilities for you to escape from this deadly disease.
So, wants to know more details about the stadium and a variety of medical terms that must be passed by breast cancer?
Here are his notes:
Stage 1
At this stage, cancerous lump no more than 2 cm and can not be detected from outside. A very systematic treatment will be given at this stage of cancer, the aim is that cancer cells can not spread and did not continue on the next stage. At this stage, the possibility of full recovery of patients was 70%.
Stage 2
At this stage, the possibility of patient recovery is 30 – 40% depending on the extent of the spread of cancer cells. Usually cancer lump size was more than 2 even get to the level of 5 cm and had already spread to the armpit area. Or it can also measure the cancer has reached 5 centimeters but has not spread anywhere. Usually performed surgery to remove cancer cells that have spread to all parts, and radiation after surgery performed to ensure no more cancer cells left behind. Read the rest of this entry »
