The lymphatic system consists of thin tubes that branch, like blood vessels in all parts of the body. Lymph vessels carry lymph, a colorless, watery fluid containing white blood cells called lymphocytes. Along the network of vessels are groups of small, bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes. Clusters of lymph nodes make and store infection fighting cells.
Spleen (an organ in the upper abdomen that lymphocytes and filters old blood cells from the blood), thymus (a small organ under the sternum) and tonsils (an organ in the throat) is also part of the lymph system.
Since there is lymph tissue in many parts of the body, cancer can spread to almost all body organs or tissues as liver, bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside large bones that makes blood cells), spleen, or brain.
AIDS-related lymphoma is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are in the lymphatic system disorders in patients with AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). AIDS caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which attacks and weakens the immune system. Infections and other diseases that can penetrate the body and the immune system can not fight them.
Lymphoma is divided into two general types of Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkins lymphoma, which is classified by how their cells look under a microscope. This provision is histology. Histology is also used to determine which type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (many). The types of non-Hodgkin lymphomas are classified by how quickly they spread: low-grade, intermediate quality or high quality. In mid-or high-grade lymphomas grow and spread more quickly than low-grade lymphoma.
The main types of lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma can occur in people with AIDS. In mid-and high-grade types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma usually in AIDS patients. Both forms of lymphoma can also occur in adults and children.

When cancer of the adrenal cortex is diagnosed more tests done to see how far the cancer has spread, a process called staging.
Treatment varies depending on which stage of the disease. The following stages are used for cancer of the adrenal cortex:
Phase I - cancer is less than 5 cm (less than 2 inches) wide and has not spread in the tissue around the adrenal. During this phase, the primary treatment is likely to have an operation for cancer.
Phase II - cancer is more than 5 cm (less than 2 inches) wide and has not spread in the tissue around the adrenal. During this phase, the primary treatment is likely to have an operation for cancer, but clinical studies are now underway to test new therapies for this stage of the disease.
Phase III - cancer of the tissues around the adrenal gland or has spread to the lymph nodes around the adrenal. Lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system disorders, and are small, bean-shaped organs and store infection fighting cells. During this phase can be any of the following:
Surgery for cancer. Lymph nodes in space can also be removed (lymph node dissection).
A clinical trial of radiotherapy.
A clinical trial of chemotherapy if the size of the tumor can be measured by X-ray and / or if the tumor makes hormones.
Phase IV - the cancer has spread to tissues or organs in the area and the lymph nodes around the adrenal cortex, or the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. During this phase can be any of the following:
A clinical trial of chemotherapy.
Radiation to the bone when the cancer has spread.
Surgery for cancer in places where it has spread.
Periodic - The cancer is back (again) after it has been processed. It may come back in the adrenal cortex or in another part of the body. Treatment during this phase depends on several factors, including where the cancer came back and what treatment is received. In some cases, surgery may be effective in reducing symptoms of the disease by removing a part of the tumor. The clinical trials are currently testing new treatments for this phase of the disease.

There are two adrenal glands, one above each kidney in the back of the upper abdomen. Each adrenal gland consists of two layers:
The adrenal cortex, the outer layer of the adrenal, various steroid hormones;
The adrenal PITH or inner layer of the adrenal gland that produces hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Cancer of the adrenal cortex, also called adrenocortical carcinoma, is discussed below. (Cancer of the adrenal PITH, also called pheochromocytoma is discussed separately.)
The cells in the adrenal cortex of important hormones that help the body to function properly. When cells in the adrenal cortex become cancerous, they may make too much of one or more hormones, which can lead to symptoms such as high blood pressure, weakening of the bones, or diabetes. Cancers that hormones are called functioning tumors. However, many cancers of the adrenal cortex hormones and no additional nonfunctioning tumors.
A person with the following symptoms you should seek medical pain in the abdomen, weight loss without diet and weakness. If there is a functioning tumor may cause symptoms or signs caused by too many hormones, such as high blood pressure, weakening of the bones, or diabetes.
If a patient has symptoms of cancer of the adrenal cortex, the doctor for blood and urine tests to see if the amounts of hormones in the body is normal. A doctor may also be a computed tomography scan, a special x-ray optical using a computer to a picture of the inside of the abdomen. Other special x-rays can also be taken to determine the type of tumor is present.
The risk of recovery (prognosis) of cancer of the adrenal cortex is dependent on how far the cancer has spread (the stage of the disease) and a doctor can perform surgery to remove all cancer.

Adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a disease in which cancer cells develop in the blood and bone marrow. AML is also called acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.
Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside large bones in the body. Bone marrow cells are produced by immature immortal stem cells. These stem cells produce slightly more mature cells called the explosion that the development of (adult) in the following types of blood cells that do specific jobs in the body:
Red blood cells carry oxygen and other materials to all tissues in the body.
White blood cells that fight infection.
Platelets make the blood clot.
Adult acute myeloid leukemia affects explosion which develop into white blood cells called granulocytes. In adult acute myeloid leukemia, the explosion is not mature and become too numerous. These immature blast cells are then incorporated into the blood and bone marrow.
The disease develops rapidly, and the treatment is different for adults than for children.

Do you that green tea can be use to fight a leukemia? In our daily life we know that green tea subjected to many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its long-purported health benefits.
Chronic lymphocyte leukemia is the most common subtype of leukemia in the U.S.. There is currently an incurable disease. Unlike most other types of cancer where early diagnosis increases the chance that the patient can be cured, treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy is associated with increased toxicity but no increase in patient survival.
Despite this harsh reality, there is good news. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology showed patients with chronic lymphocyte leukemia in a phase of an investigation, had a reduction in their lymphocyte in 33% of the participants. By doing this, the team of cancer researchers from the State University of New Jersey, is a positive correlation between green tea and a possible treatment for leukemia.
Several epidemiological studies have shown that consumption of green tea reduced the risk of cancer. Furthermore, prevent the formation of a tumor in animal models of tea, supported their ability to affect fundamental processes such as cancer, angiogenesis and inflammation.
Green tea in a pill is still a long way before the Food and Drug Administration approves it prescribed by your doctor. The counting in the phase 2 and phase 3 studies, we have approximately 4 to 5 years for the commercialization of everything went well. And I am not the cost of these pills.

Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the cells of the breast. Worldwide breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer after lung cancer (10.4% of all cancers, both men and women included) and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. In 2004, breast cancer caused 519,000 deaths worldwide (7% of deaths due to cancer, almost 1% of all deaths).
Breast cancer is about 100 times as often in women as in men, but survival is equal in both sexes.
Not knowing what is wrong with our bodies can sometimes be easier than that. Perhaps people think that the way you first hear the heart wrenching words "you have cancer." Fear that you are experiencing now is worse or better than what you have for the past week or so, while you wait for the biopsy report? Maybe not, but there is one thing that is different, you now have control over that fear. Cancer causes anxiety, and you are entitled to your fear.
It is important to remember that yes, cancer can do some terrible things, but one thing that can not do is remove that we are. So it does not matter if you're a fighter in the past now is the time. If something good to say about cancer is that it produces more soldiers than almost any other situation in which a person may face.
All cancer is sad, but if a woman is facing a potential disfiguring as breast cancer, it seems that a double whammy. Maybe it's just the fact that the bottom line is that you can learn to cope with the loss of a breast or both. You can not live with untreated cancer.
Asbestos is the name of a lung disease caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos. It is a chronic inflammatory disease, and usually regarded as a severe shortness of breath.
Here is the short explain about asbestos:
Asbestos is toxic. Inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause serious diseases, including malignant mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis (a type of pneumoconiosis). Since mid-1980, the most developed countries and the European Union have banned asbestos.
Asbestos became increasingly popular among manufacturers and builders in the late 19th century due to its resistance to heat, electricity and chemical damage, sound absorption and tensile strength. When asbestos is used for its resistance to fire and heat, fibers are often mixed with cement or woven into fabric or mats. Asbestos has been used in a number of products for heat-resistance, and previously used on electric oven and hotplate wiring for electrical insulation at elevated temperature and in buildings for flame-retardant and insulating properties, tensile strength, flexibility and resistance to chemicals.
The disease is most often in people exposed to high levels of asbestos because of their professions - the people who mine, manufacturers of products, handling or removing asbestos are most at risk of asbestosis.
The main symptom of asbestosis is shortness of breath, especially after periods of exertion. This effect can appear slowly and with little impact on the first, but gradually more difficult over time and even lead, in advanced cases of the disease, an acute form of respiratory or heart failure is possible. Clinically, with asbestosis has a distinctive "crackling" sound when drawing breath and "clubbing" or thickening of the fingers. Boards often do not start running until 5 years or more after the first exposure to the material.
The shortness of breath caused by inflammation and scarring of lung tissue and make place for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is necessary for effective breathing. It begins as small parts asbestos inhalation and lodge deep in lungs. The natural defenses then try to destroy the foreign body reaction and inflammation around asbestos beach. Since asbestos is very resistant to breakdown by the body to the inflammatory response may be chronic. Over time maintaining fibers fall into the new fibrous tissue which is not as flexible and thicker than usual, making gas exchange more difficult and leads to decrease in the efficiency of the lungs. This fibrous tissue is gradually increasing in size as the body continues to fight against the inhalation of asbestos. The more fibers inhaled, the greater the risk of lung damage.
The treatment of asbestos trusts that deal with the consequences instead of healed. Oxygen therapy is often given to relieve the shortness of breath, and nebulizers for allergy and asthma patients can also help.
To ensure that future generations suffer from this terminal disease, not all risks in the treatment of asbestos, contact a professional asbestos removal if you want to remove asbestos from your property.

If your body got what it needs, it will give you with how quickly it responds. Much good health is not a cure or remedy - the so-called physical measures and health treatments only body with the essential ingredients for a healing process.
Herbs, home remedies and natural medicine, using medicinal herbs, is about as long as mankind. But much of the knowledge of the benefits of this herbal home remedies is forgotten on the road, especially in this modern age of fast food convenience. The introduction of simple food in our daily routines, we can in a world of difference and a simple example is garlic.
Garlic Allium is immune enhancing compounds (dialyl sultides) operating activity of immune cells to fight cancer and indirectly help break down cancer causing substances. Studies have linked garlic - as well as onions, leeks and chives - to lower risk of stomach and colon.
In our modern fast-food society, there is no guarantee of health. Adding some simple cheap food to our daily routines in the world will difference. There is a wealth of knowledge on the Internet with respect to natural health remedies and cures, especially in the case of diseases such as cancer. The report "Help Your Body Heal itself of Cancer" on www.naturalremedieshealthcures.com is convenient, easy to read condensed compilation. Most of these treatments are natural substances that are readily available in the local store and its popular use in the world.
Many experts believe that cancer is in us all, but it is only when our immune system is depleted, the cancer is. The cure for many modern diseases lies in our own bodies ... until we give the body what it needs to heal.
A very important amino acid that has been studied in more than fifty years Arginine, found in common foods such as wheat germ and flour, buckwheat, granola, oatmeal, dairy products (cheese, ricotta, nonfat dry milk solids, skim yogurt), and even chocolate. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and protein is the building block of all living cells. Arginine is found to consistently inhibit the growth of tumors. Research has shown that providing arginine in relatively large doses "leading to an almost complete inhibition of the carcinogenic process."
There are several plant sources of dietary needs arginine as mentioned above. It is also found in nuts (coconut, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, seeds (pumpkin, sesame, sunflower), chick peas and cooked soybeans.
Health professionals often suggest the cancer cases to an increase in fresh vegetables and fruit along with a reduction in animal fats is preferable. The more fat than meat nuts, especially cashews, almonds, hazelnuts etc Almonds are particularly recommended.
The body requires special fats that, among other important functions, making it possible for enough oxygen to the cells through cellular membranes. Experiments have shown that the most important, most fundamental, the cause of cancer is too little oxygen in the cell.
There are many physical activities and health treatments are recommended for cancer and other diseases, but ultimately it is our own body, which may be the cure. Give your body what it needs to do its work.

Most first diagnosed with cancer-related cancer as a death sentence, but by turning on a physical, it is not. Studies have shown that the treatment of cancer by natural means has a much more successful than shrinking as our current cancer treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
Despite the billions of dollars spent on research over the past 40 years, we have not closer to finding a cure for cancer than when the war was declared against the disease already in 1971. Most cancers known resistance to treatment today as they were almost 40 years ago and there is a good reason. With this in mind, it is better not to do anything yourself in order to overcome the disease. Cancer is essentially a self-help organizations the disease so it is certainly possible for a cure for cancer.
Cancer is not a death sentence and the first thing you should do is to have a positive view of cancer and does not believe that any negative information from health professionals. He makes these assumptions are based on the non-effective treatments; he is only allowed to use. Acts on the basis of their negativity can have disastrous consequences.
Looking for a permanent solution to your problem, the first to realize that your cancer has grown for a reason and that reason, you should address. If the factors which cause the cancer to grow in the first place, it is possible for the body to heal and strengthen the body, cancer growth course without ever returning.
There is one thing we know that our bodies can do and it is amazing heals itself at the right conditions and it is through our beautiful designed and built in the repair system is called the immune system. Immune system will attack and destroy the cancer will return you heather. So with a good knowledge of cancer, you can then take appropriate therapies based on this knowledge and in the end you are cancer free.
Our 3-orthodox cancer treatments are, unfortunately, instead of today because of their ability to generate profits, not because of its healing properties. They have many other faults and their toxicity and the suppression of our natural immune system. It just does not make sense to harm the body more as a person with cancer is a major health crisis. What the body needs is a soft natural treatment and they work.
Cancer takes years to develop and as your cancer has not spread, you have the time to research the subject and find the information you need to cure you of the problem. Do not start looking for a quick solution to the problem because there is a need to factor that caused the cancer in the first place and that is what is meant by common sense.
In short, all the treatments for cancer to run around the 7 necessities of life and fresh air, clean water, nutritious food such as fruits and vegetables, some Sunday and the sun is our friend, not our enemy, daily exercise, rest and hopefully a happy center, which means removing any stress-related problems. Type of ways to treat cancer is simple man and his ways are not toxic.

The anal cancer is often confused with the rectum, the last centimeter of the lower intestine. Rectum eventually ends with anus, where the fecal material leaving the body.
Like other parts of the body, anus exposed to infections and diseases such as anal cancer.
Symptoms of Anal Cancer
The symptoms of anal cancer are not unique and are also symptoms of other diseases such as hemorrhoids. Although the anal cancer is relatively easy to diagnose, it can lead to a delay of diagnosis for people with anal cancer.
Symptoms of anal cancer include:
• clogs or bumps near anus
• anal bleeding or bleeding in the stool
• anal discharge
• pain in or around the anus
• itchy feeling around the anus or
• change in bowel habits such as constipation, diarrhea, and thinning of relief
• What if you Anal Cancer Symptoms
If you have symptoms of anal cancer, see your doctor soon. It is common for some to visit the doctor because they feel embarrassed by anal symptoms or are afraid to be examined in a private room. Do not let these feelings that you examined by a doctor. Fortunately, anal cancer can be detected early if the patient is seeking care at the beginning of symptoms.

New research suggests a dramatic increase in the number of women diagnosed with early breast cancer in one breast who choose to have both breasts surgically removed.
The share of so-called contra-lateral prophylactic mastectomy 'surgery among American women with early breast cancer called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) increased by 188 percent between 1998 and 2005, Dr. Todd Tuttle, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, and colleagues found.
Exactly the reason why more and more women choose this treatment is unclear.
"The 10-year survival of women with DCIS is 98 percent to 99 percent," Tuttle notes in a university statement. "It is the abolition of the normal contra-lateral breast cancer will not improve the excellent survival for this group of women. But many women, particularly young women, chose to have both breasts removed."
The results reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, derived from a study of 51,030 women with unilateral DCIS. A total of 2072 women chose breast removal surgery for cancer, the report shows.
Of all surgical patients, the contra-lateral mastectomy increased from 2.1 percent to 5.2 percent (148 percent) between 1998 and 2005.
For those treated with mastectomy, the proportion of double mastectomy increased from 6.4 percent to 18.4 percent (188 percent).
More studies are urgently required "to the complex decision-making leads to contra-lateral prophylactic mastectomy," researchers conclude.
Woman who exercise after 30 may minimized the risk of Breast Cancer
0 comments Posted by Sri Hartati at 8:37 AMDo some exercises after age 30 more than an hour per week can help reduce a woman's risk of developing breast cancer, according to a study presented at the American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting in Seattle.
In the study, Lisa brittle at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley and colleagues asked 4296 women to recall their physical activity for four key stages of life: 10 to 15 years, 15 to 30 years old, 30 to 50 years and 50 years and older .
The possibility of developing breast cancer do not seem to change in the performance of the ages between 10 and 30 and women over the age of 30 significantly their chances of developing breast cancer if they are more active, the researchers found.
"An average amount of exercise was defined as 60 minutes per week," brittle told Reuters Health, "so that all results in less than 60 minutes on average were over 60 minutes on average, and all who regard themselves as" very competitive "chosen that category."
Some women classified themselves as "very competitive" between 30 and 50 developed breast cancer compared with women who are less physically active.
Even fewer women classified themselves as very competitive at the age of 50 years developed breast cancer compared with women who exercised less than 60 minutes per week.
"Provisional" brittle said, "take home message is that accumulation mode increase physical activity after the age of 30 may play a role in reducing the risk of developing breast cancer."

If there is an obstacle in terms of avoidance of liver cancer is the liver cancer symptoms can be difficult to detect. This is because they actually are quite diverse. Since the liver is one of the largest organs in the body, anything that could lead to the closure will affect the rest of the bodies.
One of the most common signs to look out for is in abdominal pain. It is frightening that this is a very large tumor or whether it has spread to other organs affected. Swelling and sudden onset of abdominal fluid is also revealing characters, along with jaundice and muscle.
Some liver cancer symptoms are clearly visible as dark-colored urine and pale stools. Others may be felt, such as loss of appetite, nausea and sometimes vomiting. Persistent pain around right shoulder blade and recurrent fever should be noted.
If a patient is found to be suffering these symptoms, a clinical test feels a strain in the abdomen. What they have to see if there is a heavy load on the right side of ribs that will see if the liver increases. Your doctor may ask for specific X-rays and a CT scan, ultrasound or MRI. When the doctor is a flat on the x-ray, the doctor will insert a needle into the abdomen to get a small part of the liver tissue. The method is known as a needle biopsy.
For the treatment of liver cancer symptoms and cause, will depend first on what type it is and how far they advanced. Always check with your doctor and ask for advice on treatment and alternative methods. There are many natural treatments that you can try before you subject yourself surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. So you should speak to your doctor about all your options before deciding which way to go to try to rid yourself of this terrible disease.

For several years, there are discussions on the effects of vitamin B17 to cancer patients. All research done on vitamin B17 was banned in 1977, but before the ban was found that a form of cyanide in our bodies. But all this affects cancer cyanide. The reason is that this vitamin also another enzyme that protects non-cancer cells and eliminates cyanide compounds effects on healthy cells in our body. If this is true, it would mean that vitamin supplements are the only natural cancer prevention. FDA, however, disputed these claims and believes that giving false hope for cancer patients. It is illegal in the U.S. to require vitamins, but there are many ways to the many benefits in the body.
Sources of vitamin B17
Many foods are rich in vitamin B17 and can be daily. Some of these include apricot seeds, spinach, watercress, alfalfa sprouts and bamboo. One or two tablets of 100 mg are sufficient for your daily dose. Although you can buy these, if they are not as common as they once were. Although there are some vitamin supplements on the market, most people prefer to have their food. This is also recommended by most doctors. Many believe that the best source of vitamin B17 is apricot seeds. The recommended dose is to eat 7-10 apricots per day, but not in a meeting. Make sure there is at least an hour between each part. You can tear seeds and bedding them in other foods such as soups, salads, cereals or potatoes. Another option is to chew them, pulp and swallow them. Try not to swallow them whole. Another option you Vitamin B17 are to eat three Apple a day (seeds and all). It believes that a seed to three apples enough Vitamin for your system.
Powers of Vitamin B17 Supplements
Maintaining a diet helps your body to fight cancer cells. Whether you take supplements or not, the vitamin B17 that you used in the food you eat will continue to get rid of cancer cells in the body. The Chinese have long believed in the powers of Vitamin and use those vitamins rich food for the treatment of tumors. They are doing this for years.
Many people would like you to believe that if you started consuming high doses of vitamins or food supplements, you will suddenly be cured of a cancer. This is not the case. So far, there is still, unfortunately, is not a cure for cancer. But if you eat a diet rich in vitamins, are you a big step towards helping the body to prevent cancer cells from invading your system.

Treatment of lung cancer depends on several important factors. The main factors are the histopathologic (diseased tissue) type of lung cancer and stage of cancer.
When the stage of lung cancer is determined, the oncology team and patient work together to develop a treatment plan. It is important for lung cancer patients to discuss the value of different forms of treatment with their doctor. Other factors that affect lung cancer treatment is the patient's general health, medical conditions which may affect (eg, chemotherapy) and tumor characteristics.
The characteristics of lung tumor can be used to break up patients into two groups: patients with low risk of cancer recurrence and patients with high risk of cancer recurrence. Disease-specific prognostic prognostic factors used for patients in one of these groups. In particular, the histopathologic groupings of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be used to better predict the patient's prognosis and expected response to treatment.
Surgical resection (cut) in the tumor generally is indicated for cancer that has spread outside the lung. Surgery for lung cancer can be performed using different techniques. Thoracotomy, running thought the chest wall, and the median sternotomy, performed by cutting through the sternum, are common methods used for lung cancer surgery.
Alternative approaches include anterior limited thoractomy (ALT), which runs on the front of the chest with a small cut, anterioraxillary thoracotomy (AAT), which runs on the front near the chest and forearm posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT), which is performed on the back / side of the trunk .
ALT, in particular, is less invasive than standard thoractomy-that this procedure involves less disruption in the body than large incisions or other intrusive measures. ALT may result in less blood loss during and after surgery, less postoperative drainage, and less postoperative pain than standard thoracotomy.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) that is often used to treat lung cancer it seem unusable. Photodynamic therapy with injection of a light-activated drug (eg photofrin / polyhaematoporphyrin, Lumina). Then, during bronchoscopy (examination of the airways using a flexible scope), the lung tumor is illuminated by a laser fiber that transmits light of a certain wavelength. At the time, laser light is used to destroy the sensitized tumor tissue. Photo Skin sensitization (light sensitivity) is a side effect of PDT.
Radiation also can cause the following:
• Anorexia (loss of appetite)
• Changes in taste perception
• Damage to the fetus (in women who are pregnant)
• Increased heart rate (tachycardia)
• Increased risk for infection
• Malaise
• Nausea
• Vomiting
The damage of the lungs exposed to asbestos called mesothelioma cancer. The most difficulty from this disease is finding the early symptom. There may be many years before you know you have it. Read on to find out what you can do as an alternative for treatment and prevention of this deadly disease.
It’s a good idea to learn anything about the preventive treatment if you have any doubt that exposure to asbestos in the past. Do not wait until you see the symptoms, prevention start now!
Two important things to do:
Use Nutrition - supplements used to help the body. First, they contribute to the growth of healthy cells, suppression of mutant cancer cells. Second, it’s also known to help remove the body of toxins and excess fluids, this reduces the pressure on the chest and intestinal cavities reduce pain and discomfort.
Immune - therapy augmentive – this mostly effective method at the early stage. This treatment uses drugs that strengthen the immune system that is capable of tumors. Your body can heal itself naturally. So far, this treatment less effective in later stages of the disease. The scare of your lungs bags of asbestos, it is leading to degradation in time. Like all other diseases is early detection can save your life. Other thing that can only worsen the problem is fear.
Your best defense against the fear is knowledge. Fear is not a solution to your problem will only get worse and drain your energy. There is enough information there for you to read, use the energy you need to understand what you are against.
There are never guarantees, but one thing is certain, if you let fear take over you can almost certainly will win.

Why you need strong bones?
Generally our bones are strong during young age till adulthood. When you at the middle age, our bones will start slowly to thin out. In women, this condition accelerates after menopause, but no need to worry; there are so many ways to stop it. The best way to prevent it is the right diet - eating the right food may be the maximal bone mass and increase bone density at all ages.
Why you need to drink a lot of milk?
That is easy to understand. Milk enriches with calcium, and calcium is the cornerstone of strong bones. Adults younger than 50 should drink 1.000 milligrams per day, and people over 50 need to drink at least 1200 milligrams per day. The great source of calcium is undoubtedly milk. From every 8-ounce cup of milk or skim, low fat, or whole, it contain of 300 milligrams of calcium.
Consume more Yogurt and Cheese
Don’t like milk? That is not a big problem as you can take a cup of yogurt, this food have at least as much calcium as an 8-ounce cup of milk. Swiss cheese and a gram are almost as much. Even if you are lactose-intolerant, there are lots of dairy products as lactose-reduced or lactose-Friday Removing lactose from milk and food has no effect on calcium content.
The good of Sardines
Milk and other dairy milk products are not the only source for calcium. Another great source is sardines. All of these small fish bones have just what you need to build bone mass in the body. Eat 3 ounces of sardines canned gives a little more calcium than a cup of milk.
Chinese cabbage is rich of calcium
you would be surprised to know that calcium is abundant in certain vegetables. Half cup Chinese cabbage contains as much calcium as in an 8-ounce glass of milk. One cup of turnip greens has 200 milligrams of calcium. While spinach and broccoli contain calcium, you need more servings to get anywhere near what is in milk.
Calcium Supplement
Further, a simple way to increase your calcium intake, but some research reports that you may not need them. If you have enough calcium from food you eat, taking pill form will not contribute to bone health. Experts say that there is no advantage to more than 1500 mg of calcium per day. Maximizing the absorption of calcium supplements does not take more than 500 mg at once. Most calcium supplements should be taken with food, but calcium citrate and calcium malate always.
Soy Foods
A half cup of tofu contains 258 mg of calcium, Please note that calcium is not the only mineral for bone to leg up. According to recent research suggests plant chemicals called isoflavones increase bone density as well. Isoflavones in soy are many foods that tofu and seems to have an estrogen-like effect on the body. This can be useful in warding off soybeans bone disease in postmenopausal women.
Salmon
Another source of calcium is salmon, this types of fatty fish provides a number of bone-enhancing nutrients. They contain calcium and vitamin D which helps absorption of calcium. They are also high in omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil addition has been shown to reduce in elderly women and may prevent osteoporosis.
Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds may enhance bone health in different ways. Almonds, pistachios and sunflower seeds are high in calcium. Walnuts and flax seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids. Peanuts and almonds contain potassium, which protects against loss of calcium in the urine. Nuts also contain protein and other nutrients that play a supportive role in building strong bones.
Sunshine is also important
Well, the sun is technically not food. But it is the best source of a nutrient found in surprisingly little food. The body produces vitamin D in response to sunlight. Without vitamin D, our body can not absorb calcium. Although milk is often fortified with vitamin D, an 8-ounce cup is usually not sufficient for a maximum absorption of calcium. Doctors recommend taking a vitamin D Appendix if you live in an area where exposure to sunlight is limited.

Uterus is part of a woman's reproductive system. It is a hollow, pear-shaped organ that a baby grows. The location is near to pelvis between the bladder and rectum.
The tight and the cervix are exactly located under the uterus. The wide, middle part of the uterus is the body, or it’s also called corpus.
Commonly in women of childbearing age, lining of the uterus grow and thicken each month to prepare for pregnancy. If a woman is not pregnant, the thick, bloody lining flows out of the body through the vagina. This condition we often called it menstruation.
You have to remember that benign tumors are not cancer. Most doctors can help you to remove it. The benign tumors cells do not spread to other parts of the body. In many cases, the benign tumors do not return after its removal. Most essential, benign tumors are not often a threat to life.
But, some research also report that malignant tumors are cancer. They are commonly more serious and life threatening. Cancer cells can penetrate and damage nearby tissues and the organs. Cancer cells also can break with a malignant tumor and enter the blood or lymphatic system disorders. That is how cancer cells spread from the original (primary) tumor to form new tumors in other organs. And that condition often called as metastasis.
When uterine cancer extends (metastasizes) outside the uterus, cancer cells often found in nearby lymph nodes, nerves and blood vessels. If the cancer cell has reached the lymph nodes, then cancer cells has the ability to spread to other lymph nodes and into other organs like lungs, the worse is come to liver and bones.
When the cancer cell spreads from its original place to another part of the body, the new tumor has the same type of abnormal cells and the same name as the primary tumor. For illustration, if the cell cancer of the uterus spreads to the lungs, the cancer cells in the lungs are actually uterine cancer cells. The disease is metastatic uterine cancer; please note that is not lung cancer. It is treated as cervical cancer, not lung cancer. Doctors sometimes named the new tumor "distant" disease.
Generally the uterus cancers are usually started from the lining (endometrium). This condition called endometrial cancer, uterine cancer and cancer of the uterus.

0 comments Posted by Sri Hartati at 8:24 AMFrom now, its better to always control starting from the smallest thing, like what you eat and drink and how active you are. This summary is telling you how to reduce the risk of breast cancer.
According to result of a recent study focusing on dietary fat and breast cancer risk, the result said that every woman who reduces their fat or consuming low fat food could minimize the risk of breast cancer. I believe that is this will be good news especially for women, since we all know that breast cancer is the most deathly disease in the world. Beside that it also minimizes the risk of other disease like diabetes, cardiovascular disease and also stroke.
Also it will help you to mange a healthy weight. In order to protect the benefit of this low-fat diet, reducing fat intake of less than 35 percent of your calories on a daily basis and limit foods high in saturated fat.
In April 1998, the National Cancer Institute warned that a high-risk women who took tamoxifen on breast cancer risk by 45 percent. Tamoxifen reduces the result of estrogen, the main fuel for it development, by blocking the estrogen receptor is the most important principle of preventive diet of the disease.
For several of very high risk women, breast cancer prevention pill will be a good assessment of the appropriate age. But for most women the prevention the food to the benefits of medicines but none of the risks of blood clots and uterine cancer.
The nutrients in the diet to prevent breast cancer have been shown to prevent many other diseases of the heart attack and stroke with other major cancer, diabetes and obesity also. You just better your health.
"Stop consuming junk food like burger or any kind of food that processed using oil"
The Breast Cancer Prevention Diet, Dr. Bob Arnot has synthesized this research in an eating plan that allows women to fight back. Designed for women, the diet contains important information that will be tailored to your specific needs, including plans for women with high estrogen, which are therefore at a higher risk, postmenopausal women with lower estrogen levels, breast cancer survivors, women with family history and young women want to.
The breast cancer prevention diet is right for important preventive measures, but not secondary prevention rather than detection of tumors in their earliest stages. This suggests that self-examination and mammography is still an important role to remove the risk of dying of breast cancer.
Leukemia is a very difficult disease that can be very difficult to diagnose in early stages, but there are some measures that can be taken to prevent the disease. These measures will also be linked to changes in your lifestyle. People are really recommended to avoid herbicides, insecticides and other chemicals to reduce the risk of contact with the disease.
Herbicides are often used in agriculture and in landscape turf management. The U.S. accounts for approximately 70% of all agricultural pesticide use.
Doctors have also argued that Leukemia, in some cases may be in the genes of a certain blood line. If there is a history of leukemia in line, there is a great opportunity to find a member of the same sex. It is also necessary to a doctor for a check-up messages excessive weight loss. Doctors also claim that people who regularly use have little chance to develop leukemia.
Although prevention is difficult Leukemia, diet can contribute to the occurrence. Communities in which fat and junk food is not common, reducing the risks experienced Leukemia prevalence. If a person with a number of diseases of the blood, the chances are greater that he may be at risk of leukemia. It is therefore necessary that such a person seeking a doctor as soon as possible.
A chronic disease can be very difficult to bear, and most people have a problem when they asked for a doctor frequently, especially if they are not sick. Leukemia is a disease that prevention of its penetration or adverse effects, only when the disease is detected early.

Leukemia is also clear in the above society as a result of intense exposure to low energy radiation. This may be due to electromagnetic fields, such as power lines and electrical appliances such as electric blankets.
Leukemia is known as a blood cancer. Statistics show us that the disease is commonly found in men, and the possibilities are greater in developed countries, and especially white adult people. In the U.S. alone, nearly 30,000 cases of adults and approximately 2,000 children each year are diagnosed with leukemia.
Leukemia is a form of cancer of blood cells. The main problem was in the bone marrow, this is kind of soft tissue found in most bones. Bone marrow is known as a most flexible tissue where blood cells are made. When human in good and healthy condition the bone marrow will continue produce:
- White blood cells, that works to help human body fight infection.
- Red blood cells, that works to carry oxygen to all parts of your body.
- Platelets, work as the blood clot.
A major reason attributed to leukemia is exposure to high energy radiation. During World War 2 bomb explosions left an indelible mark on the areas exposed.
Leukemia is also clear in the above society as a result of intense exposure to low energy radiation. This may be due to electromagnetic fields, such as power lines and electrical appliances such as electric blankets.
Some toxic chemicals have also been identified can lead to leukemia. These include benzene and formaldehyde. It is also noted that if one is exposed to a number of chemotherapy drugs used to treat other forms of cancer, the probability of contact Leukemia is higher.
Some genetic conditions are also likely to make the development of leukemia. It has been said that cancer is reported in some families. This is due to genetics. Sometimes children who have Down's syndrome conditions have a higher chance of getting leukemia.
Research has not yet been done to the causes of leukemia. From research, women are more susceptible to cancer than women. Some firms have disease linked to supernatural causes. Although science is not about speculation and questions about alcohol, the disease continues to receive attention from researchers and it is likely that the mystery will soon be solved.

The simply explanation of Leukemia is white blood cancer. It character is an abnormal proliferation in the blood cells, commonly only in white blood.
Leukemia leads to a decrease in white blood cells in the body's system. Leukemia can be treated by ensuring that the body increases the white blood cell count. Leukemia can be treated simply by using the same methods used for the treatment of cancer.
Chemotherapy is one such way, but this may require too much time. The fact is that treatment with this method, a minimum period of two years. Another way to treat the disease is by determining the bone marrow problems. This method is expensive and is done in a very limited number of countries, since the use of advanced instruments and experienced doctors.
Replacement of the infected bone marrow with healthy is what it means. A radiation therapy is also recommended but this must go hand in hand with chemotherapy. Radiation does give doses of x-ray a couple of months.
In cases where there is overproduction of white blood cells, some blood infections. This can lead to blood diseases, and therefore become necessary for the use of antibiotics to combat the problem.
If leukemia is in early state, a prolongation of survival with active immunotherapy. This is still experimental, as reported by the Leukemia Society of America. Leukemia is a chronic problem and the treatment is not a question of a short time. Patience is essential. Cases of complete eradication of the above methods have been reported in the world.

Lymphoma is known as a cancer that originates in lymphocytes of the human immune system. It usually often in lymph nodes, it is an node enlargement or we could called it tumor.
Lymphoma is a cancer that arises in the lymphatic system disorders. Lymphatic system disorders are a network of small vessels and tissue spaces circulating fluid called lymph throughout the body. Our lymphatic system consists of organs, drums, bone marrow, spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes.
Lymphoma usually originates in lymph nodes located around the body, but they can also develop in lymph tissue that can not be distinguished nodes. When lymphatic cancer is develops in the lymph nodes or lymphatic tissue, the cells in the lymphatic system disorders replicates abnormal.
Lymphomas are grouped into two major categories: Hodgkin's disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Hodgkin's disease usually originating nodes, and is often in young adults, whereas non-Hodgkin's disease may spread outside the lymphatic system disorders and occurs most often in middle age and older .. These two main types of lymphoma are divided into different sub-types. Diagnosis of lymphoma is usually made by biopsy of the lymph nodes.
Lymph nodes affected by lymphoma appear clearly enlarged and spoiled. They can be rigid and have the appearance in the same way as meat. In very rare cases are tough and they can show areas of cellular death (necrosis). Patients with lymphoma may have painless swollen lymph nodes in the neck, forearm and / or groin. Some patients, especially those with Hodgkin's disease symptoms are fever, night sweats, malaise, fatigue, weight loss and itchy skin.
Treatment of lymphoma depends on the type of lymphoma diagnosed and on the stage of cancer, location, extent of symptoms and physical condition and health of patients. Radiotherapy is a treatment for patients with both types of lymphoma. Other treatment options include chemotherapy, bone marrow or stem cell transplantation, radio-immunotherapy or biological therapy.

Cervical cancer screening was introduce in the U.S. in the late 1940s by Dr. George Papaniclaou and decide to develop Pap smears. A Pap smear or The Papanicolaou test is a screening test for cells from the cervix and vagina. (The cervix is the part of the uterus projecting into the vagina). Cervical and vaginal cells are examined to determine if there are signs of cancer or pre-cancerous changes. If abnormal cells are, they are classified by degree.
Most abnormal Pap smears are caused by cervical infection or inflammation, which can usually be successfully treated before leading to cancer. An anal Pap smear is a modification of the procedure to screen and detect anal cancer.
It is highly recommended that women who have had sex, to regular Pap smear test. Guidelines for the frequency vary from year to five years. If results are abnormal, and depending on the type of abnormality, the test should be repeated in three to twelve months. If the exemption requires further investigation, the patient may be given for a thorough examination of the cervix by colposcopy. The patient may also be referred for HPV DNA testing, which can serve as a complement to Pap tests.
Abnormal Pap smear results may indicate:
- Infection (including human papillomavirus, HPV)
- Swelling or inflammation
- Pre-cancer cell changes
- Cervical cancer
Pap smears of the medical community as a reliable screening method to detect cervical cancer, together with regular pelvic level cranial studies. But Pap smear can not detect most other types of cancer, such as ovarian or uterine cancer, or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), with the exception of human papillomavirus (HPV).
