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.
Factors that cause inflammatory breast cancer were identified
Researchers at the University of Medicine in New York in the United States have identified factors that cause the incidence of inflammatory breast cancer, a deadly disease that is the growth of cancerous tissue derived metastases usually very quickly in the body patient .
The study was published in the journal “Nature” data giving information about this type of cancer and their origins .
On the one hand it was found that breast cancer is inflammatory consequence of excess protein identified as eIF4GI. This protein on the one hand help to make cancer cells more adhesive and is rapidly transformed into metastatic tumors.
Worth noting the extremely malignant nature of this type of cancer, at the same time represents between 1 and 2 percent of breast tumors that invade the body affected .
You can prevent prostate diseases
According to statistics from the Mexican Social Security Institute, 60 percent of men over 50 years have a good chance of seeing your prostate affected with any disease. Even in this gland cancer is the second cause of cancers in men.
But it usually attacks only the cancer, other diseases common in the male audience is prostatitis and obstructive prostatic hyperplasia. The first is a serious inflammation of the prostate and may be caused by an infection or sexually transmitted disease.

In Europe alone there were more than 214 000 cases of prostate cancer . Statistics show that this type of cancer is the third most popular among men over 60 years. However, the prostate cancer is curable if detected early.
There are four levels of prostate cancer ranging from T1 to T4. The medical and scientific advances have helped the majority of cancers detected to be made while still in stage T1 and T2, suggesting treatment by radical prostatectomy, ie complete removal of the prostate. This form of healing has great success in patients.
However, the person may be a radical prostatectomy, the cancer must have been caught early and it is therefore recommended, and almost demanding that men over 45 years made regular prostate exams so that you can identify if there is evil.

It’s called brain tumor to a condition whose nucleus is in one of the structures of the cranial cavity. For example, can be located in the brain parenchyma, blood vessels in the cranial nerves, glands and bones. The abnormal mass formed by the tumor grows and thus damages the brain tissue .
Among the most common symptoms may be appointed as follows: temporary paralysis, aphasia, apraxia, partial motor seizures and visual disturbances. They are produced with the destruction of the tissues mentioned above and / or increased pressure.
On the other hand, there are signs that are generated away from the brain. They are called false location because symptoms are caused by intracranial hypertension or brain stem displacement.
The brain tumors are classified as primary intracranial tumors, astrocytomas, glioblastoma multiforme, ependymoma, meningiona, primary brain lymphoma, medulloblastoma, hemangioblastoma of the cerebellum, fourth ventricle papilloma, pinealoma, craniopharyngioma, acoustic neuroma, pituitary adenomas and tumors of the foramen magnum .

Tangerine peel help fight cancer
Science advances more every day in research on cancer in the search for new cures and treatment options for this disease.
A compound found in tangerine peel called Salvestrol Q40, has managed to destroy the cancer cells , which contain an enzyme called P450 CYP1B1, human beings.
As expressed by the experts, the results offer a new perspective in order to achieve a treatment that helps in the cure of lung cancer , prostate and ovary.
The researchers concluded that the shortage of food salvestrols in current is the main fact that people no longer eat the skin of fruits and this would be one reason that contributes to the incidence of some cancers.
This progress was presented at the British Pharmacy, held in Manchester. However, the experts made it clear that all research is in its infancy and many more tests were needed to reach the trial stage, a fact that could take even five to seven years.
Researchers who are part of this project have formed a company called Nature’s Defence Investments, which is aimed at protecting and promoting their studies, to design some natural alternative cancer from new technology.
