lung cancer
Smoking has been recognized as a cause of lung cancer in causing the most important factors. In Europe and the United States, the incidence of lung cancer due to the risk of smoking was 90%. The 1980s, Shanghai male lung cancer attributable to smoking risk in 70%~80%; About 30% of female lung cancer due to smoking and passive smoking. Suction cigarettes were more dangerous than suction pipe or cigars were higher, than the gully bamboo shredded tobacco for water pipe and small-bowled pipe Nagatake were higher. Gully without filtration or mouth breathing fumes from the coke high risk than suction filter or low-mouth breathing fumes from Coke were higher. The age to start smoking is an important factor, the age to start smoking earlier, with the greater the risk of lung cancer. Breathing age 60 of lung cancer mortality rate than the age of 20 cigarettes were about 100 times higher. Lit cigarette after the smoke contains more than 3,000 different kinds of toxic chemical substances, the most important of which is nicotine, carbon monoxide, cyanide, tar cigarettes exist in a variety of carcinogenic substances, radioactive isotopes, as well as heavy metals such. Tobacco combustion of carcinogenic substances benzopyrene, nitrosamines, - naphthylamine, cadmium, and other radioactive polonium. There phenolic compounds such as tumor - promoting substances. Non-smoking women whose husband smoking passive smoking caused lung cancer mortality, her husband not to smoke than women (no passive smoking) 1-2 times higher. Smoking and occupational or environmental factors also carcinogenic effect on carcinogenesis, The results than individual factors play a role in cancer larger sum, saying synergies. Smoking and drinking are synergistic carcinogenic effect. If the average daily smoking 20, inhaled a 20 smokers the risk of lung cancer than non-smokers to 20 times higher. Less than 20 years of age started smokers die of lung cancer than non-smokers high 28 times. Occupational lung cancer caused by factors : in the 1970s, some of our industrial cities, factories concentrated in the region, lung cancer incidence and mortality rates were particularly high, when some cities have cancer ranked first. The present view with the following material with the occupational exposure to the occurrence of lung cancer : asbestos, arsenic compounds, chromium compounds, nickel compounds, dichloro ether, ionizing radiation, mustard gas and soot, tar and oil of PAHs. With suspected lung cancer related factors : beryllium, cadmium, lead, vinyl chloride, Acrylonitrile, chlorotoluene, thiosulfate methane, glass fiber, silica, talc, formaldehyde, as well as casting, rubber production, welding, construction, painting, some of the production and application of pesticides, oil refining professions. For example, asbestos workers who died of lung cancer seven times in the general population. asbestos workers and smokers with lung cancer risk to the general population is endemic times This is the smoking and asbestos caused synergies. Atmospheric pollution, and other environmental pollution : industrial emissions, if not handled properly, can be both inside and outside factories and mines pollution of the environment and the atmosphere. Moreover cities large daily burning coal, diesel and petrol as well as asphalt road construction and use of motor vehicles. may also lead to densely populated urban air pollution. Disturbing is the environmental pollution is caused urban and rural residents died of the disease and one of the important reasons. Normally, cities incidence of lung cancer is 10% above is caused by atmospheric pollution. Kitchen smoke and soot pollution is caused smoking among women is not one of the causes of lung cancer. In recent years, indoor decoration used stone, paint, floor plastic, plastic accessories, adhesives bring indoor pollution. Indoor radon pollution : Radon is a radioactive substance widely exist in the nature of the soil, rocks, building materials. It is uranium, radium decays into by the product. The isotope of radon and its decay products called radon daughters. As long as there is local radon will deposit with a daughter, radon and its progeny harm people's health. Radon can be the foundation for building seamless, integrated building materials, car parts pipeline loosening Department into the rooms. building materials may also be entering the indoor radon. China has worked out the indoor air radon concentration of 100 Bq / cubic meter. Since 1994, a survey of China's 14 cities and 1,524 offices and houses, found radon levels exceeding those accounted for 6.8%, up to 596 Bq / cubic meter. In 1990, Beijing's basement monitoring, a 2.5% indoor radon concentration more than 200 Bq / cubic meter. That international exposure to 300 ~ 500 Baker / m 3 of radon concentration of the crowd, their lung cancer mortality rate is normal exposure level of two times the crowd. It is estimated the United States every year, about 24,000 cases of cancer of radon. In the United States that radon is second only to smoking hazards to the second general factor of lung cancer. WHO estimates that countries all lung cancer patients, 5% to 15% of indoor radon exposure is the cause. The other lung cancer risk factors : previous lung diseases, such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, But compared to these four factors, the prevalence of the disease has happened in the history of the smaller role. Residents of a high incidence of lung blood selenium levels low. Domestic and international studies have shown that a certain amount of selenium to inhibit cancer prevention role. Internal and external factors under the influence of the human body oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in multi-gene mutation Multi-stage cell damage and repair errors, the final cause cancer. Known oncogene ras, myc, Rb and p53 tumor suppressor gene and the occurrence of lung cancer. Residents of exposure to environmental factors which induced lung cancer, the majority of people have a longer incubation period, about 20 to 30 years. Smoking physicians commonly used index above 400 will go to a lung cancer in high-risk period. Smoking index = the average daily number of cigarettes smoked smoking a few years, for example, a person 25 years of age started smoking × The average daily absorption 20 smoke inhaled a 20 (20 × 20 blasting), to the age of 45 when they entered the lung cancer patients are at high risk period. Early lung cancer often not obvious, special symptoms. Common early symptoms of cough, mostly irritating cough, and chronic cough similar to smoking, unable to attract any attention to patients. Carcinoid tumors in the lungs gradually grow up. Lung cancer caused by the symptoms : coughing, mostly irritating cough. Blood-tinged sputum, phlegm mostly bloodshot. Chest pain, symptoms generally light, positioning fuzzy. When tumor invasion and pleural and chest wall, the pain intensified, positioning more clear, constant. Shortness of breath, carcinoid tumor blocking the pneumonia, atelectasis, malignant pleural effusion, diffuse alveolar could cause such lesions. Fever, obstructive pneumonia or cancer caused by toxins. Terminally ill, there will be more obvious dyscrasias. Carcinoid tumor invasion and metastasis induced symptoms : Superior vena cava syndrome : right upper mediastinal lymph node metastasis oppression or right upper lung tumor by directly attacking the superior vena cava, superior vena cava occurred return, cause swelling of the head and neck. Horner (Hornor)'s syndrome : the first to the seventh cervical thoracic paravertebral sympathetic involvement of the groove, caused ipsilateral Miosis, blepharoptosis, enophthalmos, reduce sweating. Pancoast (Pancoast)'s syndrome : upper groove (apical) cancer-specific symptoms, there ipsilateral shoulder, arm, upper chest pain and ipsilateral lesion's syndrome. Hoarseness : due to the recurrent laryngeal nerve involvement. Others : When lung cancer metastasis to the brain, bone, liver and other organs, there will be corresponding symptoms. With symptoms : abnormal lung cancer can produce biologically active substances, systemic clinical manifestations. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, long bones of large joint pain, finger clubbing (toe). Carcinoid syndrome : the performance of abdominal pain, diarrhea, facial flushing, bronchial asthma. Gynecomastia, unilateral or bilateral. Others : Minorities have hypercalcemia, dermatomyositis, Cushing (Cushing)'s syndrome, etc. (1) D'drink. Drink can in itself promote cancer, increasing the susceptibility to cancer. If the Chinese do not serve whiskey, it will affect the efficacy of Chinese medicine, but is also 35.3% lower immune function. (2) D'tea or drink too much tea, the tea because caffeine and theophylline, Tannin in certain drugs interact, If the category with tranquilizer Suanzaoren, prescription, and the blood Chi Yiqi of Astragalus, 2,3,5,4, soil Poria, herb drugs can not be used, it will lower the efficacy of the drug, "Cha antidote nature." (3) avoidance of smoking. As we all know, cigarettes containing 3,4 benzopyrene, tobacco tar, and other carcinogenic substances, right bronchus and lung is a bad stimulus prolonged smoking can cause cancer is an indisputable fact that if the use of anti-cancer medicine at the same time also constantly smoking, would adversely affect the efficacy of anti-cancer medicine. (4) lung cancer patients, especially patients after radiotherapy, there's Lung-Yin deficiency symptoms, therefore, take some Spice channeling, Strong food irritation best avoided with the use of traditional Chinese medicine, do not eat hot pepper, pepper, mustard oil, onion, ginger, and so on. Herbs can be applied with chemotherapy, can enhance the effectiveness and reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs side effects. (1) of chemotherapy medicine synergies : Clinical found some medicine combined with chemotherapy drug application have enhanced the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs role. For example, Poria alone in the animals had no effect on tumors, with cyclophosphamide can be seen with the use of tumor inhibition rate than simply using cyclophosphamide inhibition rate has markedly improved. (2) The prevention of chemotherapy side effects partial response Chinese medicine treatment : Many chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin, mitomycin, NVB, and so on stimulate, inadvertently missed injection in the skin, and the range of local pain, swelling, and even then local ulceration and necrosis. When chemotherapy drug leakage, in addition to the partial closure, another topical ointment medicine such as Pearl, Ruyijinhuangsan. 3 powder, and so on, can rapidly reduce the reaction prompted wound healing. Systemic reactions Chinese medicine treatment : chemotherapy often leads to significant side effects, such as general malaise, dizziness, weakness, loss of appetite, dreams insomnia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain diarrhea, leukopenia, and even heart, liver, kidney and nervous system damage and other important organs. These side effects not only afraid of chemotherapy patients, unwilling to accept the systemic chemotherapy, which has been unable to start the successful completion of chemotherapy, affect tumor treatment program. Chinese medicine through the use of low toxicity can be reduced the incidence of side effects, chemotherapy patients to reduce the discomfort, improve the rate of completion of chemotherapy. TCM treatment of liver cancer Stabilization and advocated expelling both, the drug is commonly used fungus, in drugs approved by the state (American), Ganoderma tumor drug currently only one -- two-Ling consolidate scattered. Ling-San consolidate the "sick" treatment, that is targeted at the common lung cancer treatment, to the "disease" therapy, Also according to the Chinese syndrome type used in conjunction with different prescriptions for the "certification" treatment, Another Chinese medicine is right "with" treatment. In governance "disease" which, with governance "card" and rule "syndrome" is the Chinese medicine treatment of lung cancer in the general principle. Chinese medicine believes that the causes of cancer are : First human vitality there wasting evil deeds take advantage of the situation. in a vulnerable position condensed "tumor" blues lack fire produces Yam Yam Yam fire-and sinister. in turn, would hurt the human body Yuanyang, creating a vicious cycle, the tumor progressed very rapidly. According to this theory, our scientists "also Yang grass" (Lingzhi) development of a new drug -- double Ling consolidate dispersed, The results achieved very satisfactory results. Ganoderma lucidum is a phallic overcast and China will "consolidate also Yang." The United States has been permitted to enter the United States drugs in clinical trials, the United Nations also be included as drug procurement. FDA 1997, the CAS Shanghai Institute of drugs found : Ling-San to consolidate various entities and human leukemia cells was inhibited, with a significant dose-effect relationship. The result was the American University of Pittsburgh Medical College of interest, using the most advanced technology experiments proved that The preparation of the cells to caspase activation, is a caspase enzymes, control the process of apoptosis in cancer cells, which once activated, the cancer cells will inevitably embark on the path to death. In the end what is the activation of caspase issued the directive? Then they found that the agents can increase the tumor suppressor gene p53, China's Shanghai University researchers also found that the drug reduced to the Ras oncogene. and the tumor suppressor gene p53 oncogene Pas changes formed a "directive apoptosis" Then rumor "apoptosis instructions" conveyed to the Caspase. Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes control cell death is the seesaw, like the Chinese "yin" and "yang" Ling-San to consolidate seesaw return to the original position, reversing the cancer of fundamental direction. Ling-San consolidate the efficacy quickly clinical research, University of Chicago, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Xi'an Jiaotong University, the first hospital, and other units for a long period of clinical observation shows that the Hope consolidate scattered with surgery, radiotherapy, Chemotherapy can improve the success rate of surgery for postoperative recovery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy to reduce the toxicity and improve the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. effective in preventing tumor recurrence and metastasis, the critical stage patients have better results. "Chinese medicine journal", "Practical Journal of Cancer," a national professional journal published nearly 30 papers, related to clinical trials conducted summarized. Western treatment of lung cancer has been the existence of a "lame phenomenon", the doctor that much headache, "lame phenomenon" is mainly manifested in two aspects : First, as early as the mid - to patients, Late on critical patients without any method; Second, although aware of tumor is essentially a genetic disease, systemic disease, Clinical disease is targeted only at the local, treatment against symptoms, unable to prevent recurrence and metastasis. Ling-San to consolidate this phenomenon to provide solutions, therefore "surgery, plus radiotherapy and chemotherapy-Ling consolidate scattered "in the West has become the treatment of lung cancer is the" gold standard. " At present cancer treatment in all subjects "have made" own systems are not standardized, "100 hospital cancer" "Wikipedia cancer" is very common, with some people advocate the so-called prescriptions secret and some strange therapy, the patients are often at a loss. Here on four simple principles that can help to standardize the treatment of patients grasp of the direction and avoid straying into astray : 1. Conventional five to tie application. Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, medical, biological treatment is the treatment of tumors of the five conventions, Now we advocate for the integration of these five methods is a reasonable mix According to the first patients from the disease four methods for the selection and combination. 2, after surgery to continue treatment. Operation "radical surgery" and "palliative surgery," the two. The so-called "radical surgery" that preoperative tumor smaller, more thorough surgery, but not completely, in 3-12 months scattered around the cancer cells can be re-grown Mission; "palliative surgery" means preoperative tumor on a larger, CT has been found to have a metastatic lesions, surgical very thorough, generally about 1-3 months tumor can be re-generated, Therefore, surgical treatment must be based on the use of alternative means of further treatment. 3, radiotherapy and chemotherapy to find doctors. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy indications, contraindications, specific programs are very complicated, not doctors can develop radiotherapy and chemotherapy, must get to the tumor specialist radiotherapy and chemotherapy for medical professionals to determine whether the needs of radiotherapy and chemotherapy? What time? What choice? 4, modern medicine is the treatment of lung cancer will be elected. Modern medicine with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and attenuated to increase efficiency, improve the cure rate. not surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy in advanced patients, and herbs can be used to control disease, increase longevity and improve quality of life. achieve "with tumor survival." Chinese medicine commonly used drug therapy is a two-Ling consolidate scattered, some major hospitals at home and abroad is the "surgery plus radiotherapy and chemotherapy-Ling consolidate scattered "standardization programs to prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis results are quite remarkable. In addition, patients with complications can also increase with some symptomatic treatment of Chinese medicine.
Cancer? Prostate? Please help.?
Cancer? Prostate? Please help.?
I recently found a lump on one of my testicles. It feels like a salt grain what is it. Please help.
Austin D. 60 to 70% of all men in this country will eventually have a prostate problem. So here is the real deal, find yourself aQ.R.A. specialist. You can find out what your situation is pretty quick, usually within minutes. Then the Q.R.A.specialists will offer a nutritional substance that will best fit your situation. Believe it or not is probably an interference field. That would be a scar or a trauma site close to your prostate. Do you have any scars no matter how small, from your knees to your chest?
Good for you for checking yourself as testicular tumors ( many of which are very treatable) do present as lumps. However .what you describe doesnt sound like it. But you should see a Dr to have him explain to you what is normal and what to look for in the future. He will have a diagram for you so you will understand. Also, Prostate Cancer is usually detected by a rectal exam,followed by a biopsy not what you are feeling so thats not it. Also a PSA blood test can help but is not always helpful in Prostate Cancer

One of my story characters has cancer. Can someone who knows cancer treatment help me make this realistic?
One of my story characters has cancer. Can someone who knows cancer treatment help me make this realistic?
The character is a girl who was diagnosed w/ cancer when she was a baby and her parent put her up for adoption because they couldn't afford expenses. Doctors thought she was terminal, but she just kept pulling through and made it to 16 yrs. old. Is this realistic? If she really did just keep on truckin' that long, is it realistic that she could be on chemo after all those years? One of my ideas for the story has to do w/ her wearing a wig, so I need to know if anyone can be diagnosed that long before getting chemo.What type of cancer would allow her to live that long w/o dying?Since she is up for adoption, because she has cancer would she be kept in a hospital or a regular adoption facility?
If your character has acute lymphocytic leukemia she could in theory have gone thru cancer treatment as a baby and went into remission only to have the cancer reappear as a teenager. It wouldn't be realistic for her parents to put her up for adoption because they couldn't afford the treatment. but it would be possible that they were in a social situation that forced the child protection agency to have her removed from their unsafe home and put into foster care (maybe her parents were drug users or in jail for a crime). Because of their drug use, the parents would forget to give her the medicine or forget to take her to the clinic for treatments. This would cause her to not go into remission until she was put into foster care. Then her parents would realize that they could never provide what she needed and eventually allow the foster parents to adopt her.The years pass and she is adopted and has not seen her parents for years.Then in spite of a long remission she gets sick again when she is a teen. So she has chemo again and loses her hair.Hows that?

Cancer cells attack and destroy nearby tissue and organs, cells from the cancer spread into the blood and lymphatic circulation, transfer to other parts of the body and have a new tumor. 2. Breast cancer and the reasons why? A : The real cause of breast cancer is still unknown reasons. However, genetic and living environment have all contributed to the occurrence of breast cancer as one of the factors. Research experts are working to identify DNA changes cause why and how normal breast cells into cancer cells. to untie between breast cancer and genetic secret. 3. Breast cancer can be prevented? A : Although experts are studying the cause of breast cancer risk factors (see below) and to reduce the incidence of, and strongly advocated through breast self-examination, doctors palpation and X-ray mammography screening to the early prevention, But so far there is no clear way to prevent breast cancer from happening. 4. Lead to breast cancer risk factors which? A : If you have the following as a risk factor, you have the risk of suffering from breast cancer. (1) sex-female Although men are also suffering from breast cancer cases But in the United States each year is the number of male breast cancer only 180,000 of them for breast cancer patients with less than a percentage point. Following is a breast cancer after skin cancer the number one killer of women. (2) age-aging countries Cancer Prevention Research Center, American women in the 40-year-old breast cancer occurred when the opportunity is 1/217, the 45-year-old, incidence to 1/93, but if a women live to the age of 85, she had breast cancer rate as high as one-eighth. (3) the menstrual cycle before the age of 12 factors by the ebb out, or after the age of 55 were completely stopped menstruating. (4) family history factors - clan mothers, aunts, sisters, daughters or communities have suffered breast cancer. (5) use of contraceptives - is the continuing use of contraceptive pills or in the past 10 had used contraceptive pills, the risk of breast cancer would increase slightly. (6) child-birth or not 30-year-old after a child who. (7) alcohol-day drinking more than two glasses of alcohol. (8) overweight - especially in entering menopause, the consumption of high calorie diets. (9) accept a large number of chest radiation therapy-once during childhood or adolescence received chest irradiation treatment. (10) gene mutation - with a genetic predisposition for breast cancer gene BRCA1 (located in the human chromosome No. 17) or 9999 CA2 (located in the human chromosome No. 13) persons. 5. What are the symptoms of breast cancer? Answer : (a) any breast lumps. (2) breast lumps are strong rims irregular shape, the feeling no pain, it is probably breast cancer. Even in a few cases, they may be mild, soft, showing circular. (3) produce abnormal secretions (such as blood), not milk. (4) around the nipple or breast pain, swelling of the skin. (5) nipple inversion phenomenon. (6) abnormal breast swelling, there is no clear of debris. 6. Breast cancer-related information? A : (1) American Cancer Society estimates the United States in 2003, about 211, 300 women will be diagnosed suffering from invasive breast cancer (stages I to IV) Breast cancer deaths in which about 39,800 cases. (2) American Cancer Society estimates in 2003, some 1,500 American men suffering from breast cancer cm. About 400 cases of deaths due to breast cancer. (3) 1992-1996 breast cancer death rate declined significantly, young white women and black young female breast cancer cases occur substantial reduction, reasons for the decline may be attributed to early diagnosis and treatment results. (4) approximately 5-10% of breast cancer is from the family genes. (5) suffering from breast cancer in women is approximately 80% without family history of breast cancer. (6) female breast cancer is the most common cancer (not including skin cancer). (7) the highest female breast cancer is the second death, lung cancer was the first. (8) one-eighth of the women may be suffering from breast cancer. (9) Early diagnosis of women suffering from breast cancer, 97% will live for five years. (10) per 100,000 American women suffering from breast cancer were calculated number In the 1980s, the incidence of breast cancer for an annual increase of 3.7 percentage points 1990s, the rate increase will ease, and current year is about 0.5 percentage points. 7. Young women suffering from breast cancers? A; Among those suffering from breast cancer only 5% are below the age of 40 women. However, women suffering from breast cancers increased with age relative to one-eighth. Age suffering from the size of breast cancers, the smaller the age of suffering from breast cancers shot. 8. Teen should begin to make breast self-examination? Answer : women age 20 should begin to make the monthly breast self-examinations, the best time to check within a week after menstruation. 9. Young women and older women have different types of breast cancer? A : Not at all. But often young women suffering from breast cancer diagnosed at an early stage has been found in the early stages of treatment, This may be due to the delay in diagnosis, a partial reason is the young women who do not breast cancer screening fixed habits. Many young women committed a mistake is, They forget the breast x-ray is the early detection of breast cancer three steps are part They should continue monthly self-breast examination annually for professional medical examination. 10. Why women need before the 40-year-old for breast x-ray? Answer : through breast x-ray, we can see that the young woman's breasts are covered with a large number gland, breast x-ray can be seen these dense, compact and these organizations to make tumor marker, and also difficult to judge whether breast cancer. With the growth of age, breast and the lymph tissue gradually set aside space for fat, because fat tissue density less radiation, breast x-ray can easily see breast tissue. and the detection of abnormal phenomena. Although the 40-year-old female not to recommend the breast x-ray screening regularly as one of the ways that If they are feeling the risk of suffering from breast cancer, young women, or is found to have breast changes in women should consult their doctor, do additional screening, including breast x-ray inspection. 11. Breast x-ray safe? Answer : security. Prior to 1990, breast x-ray radiation than many of today's high, to be exact security requirements, But today's breast x-ray unit at a very small number of x ray can create a better and more precise images. In 1994, all U.S. breast x-ray manufacturers are in accordance with regulations, and must pass FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) certified. to ensure uniform quality and quantity of radiation safety standards.

What is "hypermetabolic activity"????
hypermetabolicMy daughter who just finished undergoing several weeks of both chemo and radiation treatment for rectal cancer, recently had a PET scan done. She was cleared of any matastatic disease at this point, however, it did seem to indicate "some mildly hypermetabolic activity over the gallbladder", and the report went on to read, "mild inflammation is not ruled out." Does this mean the cancer may have spread to her gallbladder???? She is scheduled for surgery on June 20th for a probable resection of her rectal tumor... will they most likely remove her gallbladder at the same time, just to be on the safe side????
Hypermetabolic activity just means that it's working harder/faster than it should be. Metabolism usually refers to the chemical reactions that occur within cells. I don't know an awful lot about this, but I if those processes are more active than normal that probably means that her gallbladder is using more energy than it normally would and that it's generating more digestive juices than normal. Since they said that the problem was mild and they didn't tell you that they would remove the gallbladder, I wouldn't assume that they would do so. On the other hand, I don't want to say that without knowing any more than I do. If you can call the doctor or someone else in the office to double-check, that would probably be your best bet.
