Cancer Screening
Cancer Screening Recommendations :Screening tests serve to detect the possibility that a cancer is present before symptoms occur.Skin Cancer :Physical Examination : part of general check-upWhole body photography : not routinely neededLung Cancer :Chest X-Ray : not routinely neededSputum Cytology : not routinely neededLow-dose spiral computed tomography : not routinely neededRectal and Colon
Cancer Chemotherapy
Cancer ChemotherapyCancer chemotherapy involves the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells. Although an ideal chemotherapy drug would destroy cancer cells without harming normal cells, only a few of such drugs exist. Instead, in chemotherapy, drugs are designed to inflict greater damage on cancer cells than on normal cells. Nonetheless, all chemotherapy drugs affect normal cells and can cause side
Cancer Radiation Therapy
Cancer Radiation TherapyRadiation is a beam of intense energy focused on a certain area or organ of the body. It can be generated by a radioactive substance such as cobalt or with an atomic particle (linear) accelerator. In other stategies, a radioactive substance may be injected into a vein to travel to the cancer. For example, radioactive iodine which is used in treatment of thyroid cancer, or

Overview of Cancer
Overview of CancerCancer is a group of cells, usually from a single cell, that has lost the normal control mechanism and has unregulated growth. As cancerous cells growth and multiply themselves, they will form a mass of cancerous tissue that we called tumors. The tumors invades and destroy normal adjacent tissue. "Tumors" refer to abnormal growth or mass; tumors can be cancerous or not.
How Cancer Develops and Spreads
How Cancer Develops and SpreadsCancerous cells develop from complex process that are called transformation. The first step of this process is called initiation and the second step of the process is called a promotion. Both step play major role in cancerous cells development.Initiation: Is a changes in cell genetic material called DNA. The changes in DNA occur spontaneously or be brought on by an
Types of Cancer
Types of CancerCancers can be divided into leukemias, lymphomas, carcinomas and sarcomas.Leukemias and Lymphomas : Cancer of blood and blood forming tissues. They may remain as separate cancerous cells rather than forming a lump. They harm the body by crowding out normal blood cells in the bone marrow or bloodstream. Then the normal functioning cells are gradually replaced by cancerous blood
Cancer Risk Factors
Cancer Risk FactorsRisk of developing cancer increase by genetic, age, environmental, geography, diet, viral infections and inflammatory diseases factors.Family history and Genetic Factors: The increased risk is due to single gene or sometimes several genes interacting together. An extra or abnormal DNA may increase the risk of cancer. For example is down syndrome patient have higher risk

Interferon as Anti Cancer Drug
Interferon as Anti Cancer DrugInterferon is a protein substance that is produced by human cells, rich with various biological activities that increase body defense systems. Interferon application for cancer therapy has already been used since 1987 in the United States of America. During that time how interferon works in inhibiting cancer process is still not well explained.Today, base on many
Chemical Food Poisoning
Chemical Food PoisoningChemical food poisoning is a result after eating food like plants, vegetables or animals meat that contains a toxin.Mushroom Poisoning:A result of ingesting several species of mushroom. Poisoning caused by many species of Inocybe and some Clitocybe species. The dangerous substances found is this mushroom is muscarine. Symptoms usually begins a few minutes to 2 hours after
Cancer Surgery
Cancer Surgery:Cancer surgery is one of the oldest forms of cancer treatment and often is the most effective. Surgery is usually the sole or primary means of treating tumors that have not spread beyond their own original site of growth. Which mean surgery treatment cannot be use for metastatic cancer. However surgery cannot be used for all early stages cancer. Some tumors occur in inaccessible
Cancer Prevention
Cancer Prevention:Reducing risk of cancer may be possible through dietary and other lifestyle changes. How risk can be reduced depends on the specific cancer. For example in lifestyle changes is stop smoking and avoid exposure to tobacco smoke can greatly reduce the risk of lung, kidney, bladder, head, neck cancer. Avoiding the use of smokeless tobacco (snuff,chew) decrease the risk of cancer of
