Obesity Risk Is Hit by Cancer Gynecology

Obesity and conditions related to recent by increasingly attractive to the discussed, some quarters say the link between obesity and other accompanying diseases which must still associated with obesity will increase the risk of cancer gynecology.

Estrogen levels are high may be the reason that obese women have an increased risk of developing womb cancer. Disease risk is also higher in women with diabetes or high blood pressure (conditions that occur in many obese women).

U.S. Nation Cancer Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, have 83% of women showed a greater risk of ovarian cancer compared with women my age who weighs proportionately. This study involved more than 94 thousand U.S. women aged 50-71 years who studied for seven years. Ovarian cancer is categorized as a malignant cancer since the early symptoms are so difficult to be prevented Samara faster. Actually this is a bias factor controlled. Because it immediately to avoid an unhealthy lifestyle and look carefully you lose weight, research team leader Dr. Michael F. Leitzmann.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) In Lung Cancer

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a newer therapy that is used for some types and stages of lung cancer (as well as some other cancers) are Photodynamic Therapy. In Photodynamic treatment, a photosynthesizing element (such as porphyry, an element that occurs naturally in the body) is injected into the bloodstream a few hours before the operation. During this time, this element may be selectively placed herself in the cells that grow quickly such as cancer cells. Then followed a procedure in which doctors use a light with a specific wavelength through a hand held wand directly to the place of the cancer and surrounding tissues. Read the rest of this entry →

Targeted Therapy in Lung Cancer

In the last decade progress of cancer treatment with targeted therapy treatment innovations are more individual. Working principle of this therapy is to eliminate the blood supply to tumors and prevent the development and spread of tumor cells. Treatment with this way of side effects and fewer patients improve. Another advantage of this therapy can be combined with standard cancer treatments of chemotherapy and radiation and the longer warm is the target of therapy. Read the rest of this entry →
