cancer breast removal

Posted by admin on August 7th, 2010 | No Comments »

I have been doing research on cancer on many ways and for many years.

I have found out that for cancer breast reoval doctors usually prefer surgery.

On the the free site breastcancer. org the various ways of cancer breast removal are reported as following

Lumpectomy, also known as breast-conserving surgery, is the removal of only the tumor and a small amount of surrounding tissue. Mastectomy is the removal of all of the breast tissue. Mastectomy is more refined and less intrusive than it used to be because in most cases, the muscles under the breast are no longer removed. Lymph node removal, or axillary lymph node dissection, can take place during lumpectomy and mastectomy if the biopsy shows that breast cancer has spread outside the milk duct. Some people qualify for the less-invasive sentinel lymph node dissection. Breast reconstruction is the rebuilding of the breast after mastectomy and sometimes lumpectomy. Reconstruction can take place at the same time as cancer-removing surgery, or months to years later. Some women decide not to have reconstruction and opt for a prosthesis instead.

Prophylactic mastectomy is preventive removal of the breast to lower the risk of breast cancer in high-risk people. Prophylactic ovary removal is a preventive surgery that lowers the amount of estrogen in the body, making it harder for estrogen to stimulate the development of breast cancer. Cryotherapy, also called cryosurgery, uses extreme cold to freeze and kill cancer cells. Right now, cryotherapy is an experimental treatment for breast cancer.

There is always hope, remember.

You Can Be Cancer Free Despite the Diagnosis

Posted by admin on August 3rd, 2010 | No Comments »

The medical world fills our heads with all the ways to treat cancer, the devastating effects cancer has on a person, and who is more susceptible to it. If your grandmother and mother have it, you will likely have it too. They sure make life sound so promising, don’t they? They never seem to have access to interesting facts like what caused the cancer. Maybe they are too busy expecting future cases and trying to treat the ones they have. If we knew the causes of it, could we avoid them or get to the root of this awful disease? Could there be such a thing as a cancer remover?

Is there an alternative to conventional methods like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation? All of these treat your body more like a pinata than a living being. Patients often wonder if dying would be easier than living. Is there a gentle, non toxic cancer remover? One that treats your body as a refuge instead of a dump. Sadly, a doctor is one of the least likely people to tell you about natural, proven healing methods even though many people have been completely healed of cancer using these methods. You have a choice if you are a cancer victim or if you have a friend or family member who is. Do you want to undergo surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation so that you can be in remission? Or do you want to beat cancer once and for all?

Yes, it’s true, you can beat cancer with a cancer remover. This requires no nasty treatments that leave you feeling like the walking dead. Even if the medical professionals told you that you are terminal, you do not have to accept that diagnosis. There is hope! There is a book that makes beating cancer simple. All you have to is buy the book and you are in control of where you go from there. It’s your body. Do you want to accept a death sentence or you do you want to proclaim life? No one should have to die this way and you don’t have to. It’s your choice, it’s your body, and you can reverse this disease.

Treatment removal for kidney cancer

Posted by admin on July 6th, 2010 | No Comments »

Here once more to deliver information you might on treatment removal for kidney cancer.

This reaserch was done for you out of love and to give the best information out there.

If you have found this info interensting you might be interested in reading more about the cancer remover program

StagingTo plan the best treatment, the doctor needs to know the stage (extent) of the disease. The stage is based on the size of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread and, if so, to what parts of the body.

Staging may involve imaging tests such as an ultrasound or a CT scan. The doctor also may use an MRI. For this test, a powerful magnet linked to a computer makes detailed pictures of organs and blood vessels.

Doctors describe kidney cancer by the following stages:

Stage I is an early stage of kidney cancer. The tumor measures up to 2 3/4 inches (7 centimeters). It is no bigger than a tennis ball. The cancer cells are found only in the kidney.

Stage II is also an early stage of kidney cancer, but the tumor measures more than 2 3/4 inches. The cancer cells are found only in the kidney.

Stage III is one of the following: The tumor does not extend beyond the kidney, but cancer cells have spread through the lymphatic system to one nearby lymph node; or The tumor has invaded the adrenal gland or the layers of fat and fibrous tissue that surround the kidney, but cancer cells have not spread beyond the fibrous tissue. Cancer cells may be found in one nearby lymph node; or The cancer cells have spread from the kidney to a nearby large blood vessel. Cancer cells may be found in one nearby lymph node.

Stage IV is one of the following: The tumor extends beyond the fibrous tissue that surrounds the kidney; or Cancer cells are found in more than one nearby lymph node; or The cancer has spread to other places in the body such as the lungs.

Recurrent cancer is cancer that has come back (recurred) after treatment. It may come back in the kidney or in another part of the body.

TreatmentMany people with kidney cancer want to take an active part in making decisions about their medical care. They want to learn all they can about their disease and their treatment choices. However, shock and stress after the diagnosis can make it hard to think of everything they want to ask the doctor. It often helps to make a list of questions before an appointment. To help remember what the doctor says, people may take notes or ask whether they may use a tape recorder. Some also want to have a family member or friend with them when they talk to the doctor-to take part in the discussion, to take notes, or just to listen.

The doctor may refer the patient to a specialist, or the patient may ask for a referral. Specialists who can give the best treatment removal for kidney cancer include doctors who specialize in diseases of the urinary system (urologists) and doctors who specialize in cancer (medical oncologists and radiation oncologists).

Thanks again for taking time and reading, and remember there is always hope.

 

All the best.

HYPERTHERMIA IN CANCER TREATMENT

Posted by admin on June 20th, 2010 | No Comments »

Breaf History of HyperthermiaThe healing effect of heat treatment was already mentioned in the advanced cultures of the old Egypt (2400 B. C. ), but only the medical professionals of the Greek Antique used this therapeutic approach consistently, acknowledged it and called it over-warming (in Greek: Hyperthermia). “Give me the power to produce fever and I heal every illness”, said Parmenides, Greek physician, 540-480 B. C.

Hyperthermia in cancer treatmentHyperthermia (also called thermal therapy or thermotherapy) is an acute condition which occurs when the body produces or absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. It is usually caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The heat-regulating mechanisms of the body eventually become overwhelmed and unable to effectively deal with the heat, causing the body temperature to climb uncontrollably.

Hyperthermia can also be created artificially by drugs or medical devices. In these instances it may be used to treat cancer and other conditions. Cancer cells are more heat-sensitive than healthy cells and their structure reacts differently to overheating. In 1910 the possibility of overheating in order to increase the radiation effect on malicious tumors was described for the first time. This already well-known and applied method was rediscovered as so called “whole body hyperthermia” in the beginning of the 1960s. Since the 70s a number of studies were run to further investigate this therapy form.

Research has shown that high temperatures (up to 44°C) can damage and kill cancer cells, usually with minimal injury to normal tissues. By killing cancer cells and damaging proteins and structures within cells, hyperthermia may shrink tumors.

Hyperthermia is almost always used with other forms of cancer therapy, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Hyperthermia may make some cancer cells more sensitive to radiation or harm other cancer cells that radiation cannot damage. When hyperthermia and radiation therapy are combined, they are often given within an hour of each other. Hyperthermia can also enhance the effects of certain anticancer drugs, which is mutually strengthened thereby and a healing more likely – the so-called synergistic effect of hyperthermia. It was found out that cytostatic drugs (chemotherapy substances) clearly act more aggressively at temperatures over 40° C than within the range of the normal body temperature.

Prostate Cancer Treatment in India under Proficient & Skilled Physicians at Jaslok Health Group

Posted by admin on March 20th, 2010 | No Comments »



Prostate Cancer Treatment in India is done at Jaslok under finest medical supervision with the help of certified and experienced surgeons and physicians. The team of physicians and surgeons make exceptional analysis of the patients to improve their current status to a normal status. Prostate Cancer is a form of Cancer that develops in the Prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. The Cancer cells may metastasize from the Prostate to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. Prostate Cancer may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, problems during sexual intercourse. Other symptoms can potentially develop during later stages of the disease. Prostate Cancer Treatment in India is the best verdict for the patients who are suffering from Prostate Cancer.

Rates of detection of Prostate Cancers vary widely across the world, with South and East Asia detecting seldom than in Europe, and especially the United States. Prostate Cancer tends to develop in men over the age of fifty and although it is one of the most prevalent types of Cancer in men, many never have symptoms, undergo no therapy, and eventually die of other causes. This is because Cancer of the Prostate in most cases is slow-growing, symptom free and men with the diagnosed condition often die of causes unrelated to the Prostate Cancer, such as heart/circulatory disease, pneumonia, other unconnected Cancers, or old age. Many factors, including genetics and diet, have been implicated in the development of Prostate Cancer. The presence of Prostate Cancer may be indicated by symptoms, physical examination, Prostate specific antigen (PSA), or biopsy. There is controversy about the accuracy of the PSA test and the value of screening. Suspected Prostate Cancer is typically confirmed by taking a biopsy of the Prostate and examining it under a microscope. Further tests, such as CT scans and bone, may be performed to determine whether Prostate Cancer has spread.

Most Prostate Cancers begin in the outer part of the Prostate. The Cancer must be identified before it presses on the urethra and obstructs with the urination. In the early stages, Prostate Cancer is curable. With prompt treatment the percentage of men who survive longer than 10 years is roughly equal to that of men who never had Prostate Cancer.  If Prostate Cancer is permissible to develop without treatment, it may spread to other organs, causing disability and sometimes death. Advanced Prostate Cancer is more likely to cause symptoms, which may lead a man to see an urologist for diagnosis. Unfortunately, by the time Prostate Cancer has reached this stage, it is less responsive to treatment. If the results of DRE suggest the presence of Cancer, your urologist may recommend that other test be performed which help detect Prostate Cancer or indicate the extent of the Cancer’s growth. To confirm the presence of Cancer, the urologist may perform a biopsy attaining a small sample of the suspected Cancer for examination under a microscope by a pathologist. If a diagnosis of Prostate Cancer is made, the urologist will generally recommend treatment.

How Prostate Cancer is treated depends upon the stages of Cancer, the aggressive nature of the Cancer, the age of the patient, the patient’s overall health and side effects of different treatments. Because so many different options exist, the treatment of Prostate Cancer should be carefully weighed by you and your urologist. One of the treatment options, no matte what the stage is “watchful waiting”. Possible signs of Prostate Cancer include a weak flow of urine or frequent urination. These and other symptoms may be caused by Prostate Cancer. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. A doctor should be consulted if any of the following problems occur:

Weak or interrupted flow of urine. Frequent urination (especially at night). Trouble urinating. Pain or burning during urination. Blood in the urine or semen. A pain in the back, hips, or pelvis that doesn’t go away. Painful ejaculation.

India has most excellent qualified professionals in various fields; in fact many Indians are currently working at peak positions with preeminent companies and organizations around the world. As to the Medical Facilities and Amenities in India, one can say that Indian quality of treatment and hospitality both are on par with International standards and are yet very cost effective compared to its International counterparts. India is one of the leading nations to provide finest quality of treatment and skilled surgeons & physicians. Medical Tourism in India plays a pivotal role to provide health care with relaxation. Recreational packages are provided by Medical Tourism to the patients coming in India for treatments. Prostate Cancer Treatment in India is done at best and fully equipped hospitals.
