A Blog focusing on Cancer

Cancer is an abnormal multiplication of cells and uncontrolled damage as a result of the structure of DNA that regulate cell multiplication process as a result damage the normal function of cells within an organ. Neither if the cancer cells attack the kidney epithelial cell kidney cancer occurred.

If you see the number of renal cell cancer, many patients who could not survive for long because the early symptoms of renal cell cancer had appeared after the cancer metastasizes (spreads) to other organs. Treatment options such as sunitinib and interferon Alfa is still questionable effectiveness in improving the condition of cancer renal cells. According to The New England Journal of Medicine January 11, 2007 edition, has conducted research to test the effectiveness of sunitinib therapy with interferon Alfa. Research with 750 renal cell cancer patients who had never been treated, were treated in random order during the duration of 6 weeks with sunitinib orally 50 mg / day for 4 weeks and 2 weeks without treatment. While interferon Alfa given for 6 weeks with a dose of 9 MU, 3 times per week by subcutaneous injection.

How did it go? Renal cell cancer patients with sutinitib therapy survived to 11 months with the accuracy of the analysis (95% CI, 10 to 12) while interferon Alfa is only 5 months (95% CI, 4 to 6) and the hazard ratio was 0:42 (95% CI, 0.32 to 0:54; P, 0001). Renal cell cancer did not provide improved response to interferon Alfa therapy, although interferon Alfa has been used for 20 years. Thus, sunitinib can improve the quality of life and can reduce the death rate due to renal cell cancer.

Renal cell cancer is a cancer that attacks the epithelial cells of kidney damage due to normal cell structure of DNA, causing cell multiplication out of control. There are currently no clarity about the causes of renal cell cancer.

Year 2005 in the United States, found 36,160 cases of renal cell cancer and 12,660 died of renal cell cancer. Chemotherapy or radiation is not able to treat renal cell cancer. In the early stages, renal cell cancer without any symptoms appears. After the cancer spread to other organs, new symptoms appear renal cell cancer can be detected. That is why people with renal cell cancer can’t survive for long. This tickled the researchers to find effective treatment for renal cell cancer. Read the rest of this entry →

Vegetables and fruits which contain red pigment called lycopene primary, one tomato. Carotenoids or lycopene is an important plant pigments found in the blood and cells suppress its activity. In contrast to other carotenoids such as beta-carotene, lycopene is not provitamin A alias does not have vitamin A activity, which could not be converted into vitamin A in the body. Various scientific studies show that lycopene is not only important as the giver of red pigment, but also very beneficial for health. Recent years, lycopene has attracted the attention of food scientists because it proved useful for preventing cancer, particularly prostate cancer, in addition lycofen l found in food in general, is also present in human blood levels of 0.5 mol / liter of blood.

Until now breast cancer is still a scary disease, especially for women who entered the age of 50 years and over. Scary, because it was supposed this disease will lead to death. It is undeniable that this malignant disease has become one of the major killers of women in the world, after cancer of the uterus. Women who experience early menstruation, before the age of 12 years, gave birth after the age of 35 years, giving birth and never breastfeeding, unmarried or married but no children, lots of fat consumed in the age of adolescence, or obesity also includes the risk of cancer
Improved screening methods to make the doctors could detect breast cancer, which affects more than one woman was also in the whole world per year, much faster. The disease develops in cells in the breast. If left untreated, the cancer cells continue to divide and form tumors. Earlier the disease is diagnosed and treated, the higher the chances for survival.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas that does not smell. Mold or mold is a natural growth caused by a very small spores in the air that can grow many times (multiply) on a damp surface. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) is a chemical that can be easily vaporized, releasing gas and smoke. CO is the result of all types of combustion, such as the stove, it is estimated that more than 1.6 million people die each year from respiratory infections and the impact of solid fuel combustion (Source WHO), but most are said to be the cause of the East India Company, because VOC generated from oil-based paint (oil based) and Adhesives as well as the materials used at the time of installing new carpet, seta already described above.

Brain cancer is a killer who worked in secret. The presence of brain cancer sometimes very difficult to detect. Common symptoms of brain cancer are headache and nausea / vomiting. The results of Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), South Korea, it was proved that caffeine can be one option for the treatment of brain cancer. Read the rest of this entry →

Cancer is a general term for abnormal cell growth. (growing very fast, uncontrolled, and not rhythmic) that can infiltrate normal tissue and normal tissue pressure that affects the body functions. Cancer is not a contagious disease. The term is not the same tumors with cancer. Tumor is a general term for any abnormal lumps. While cancer is a tumor that is malignant.

Cancer is a disease caused by the growth of tissue cells that are not normal body. Cancer cells will grow rapidly, out of control, and will continue to divide, then infiltrate the surrounding tissue (invasive) and continue to spread through the connective tissue, blood, and the attack vital organs and the spinal nerves. In normal circumstances, cells will divide only if there is a replacement of cells that have died and broken. In contrast to cancer cells continue to divide even though the body does not need it, so that will happen accumulation of new cells is called malignant tumors. Cell accumulation is urgent and damaging normal tissue, thus disturbing the organs they occupy. Cancer can occur in various tissues in various organs in each body, from feet to head. If the cancer occurs at the surface of the body, will easily know and treated. But if there is inside the body, the cancer would be difficult to know, and sometimes – sometimes have no symptoms. If symptoms develop, usually has an advanced stage that it is difficult to treat. Read the rest of this entry →
