Detecting Prostrate cancer

It is still unknown what really counts, the causes of prostate cancer, but several risk factors have been discovered, such as family history, race, age and diet that is rich in fats.

The fact that a test at intervals Early detection is important to recognize the cancer as early as possible. Find the symptoms is not sufficient, because you do not recognize early enough. Once you have symptoms of prostate cancer, it is (too) late already. Once the disease has exploded, you could symptoms such as weakness or the interruption of the urine, blood in the urine or pain in the back, the thigh or hip. It could also be a burning sensation.

It could be a matter of life and death, to recognize the cancer as early as possible. The earlier the treatment begins, the better are the chances of survival. This can be cured, but only if they are not already.

The doctor also has his number in the rectum to feel lumps in the prostate. If abnormalities are detected, the doctor may order a blood test to know whether a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood. Although small amounts of PSA are ok, a high amount of APS is a strong sign of cancer. An investigation trans rectal ultrasound examination is another option. This method is painless a good picture of the gland in the 20 minutes.

A biopsy is necessary if the trials, which are shown the emergence of cancer. This means that the doctor has a small sample of the tissue using a needle. The sample is then examined under the microscope, and if the specimen cancer patients, is an accurate diagnosis. The biopsy itself is a quick and relatively painless method for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Once it is found, the doctor know, as he already won. An X-ray can show whether the cancer has reached the lungs. A computer tomography or magnetic resonance imaging to visualize, it can also internal organs. Once it is diagnosed, the treatment should begin immediately. There are several options for treatment, but the surgery is the most effective means to accomplish the total elimination of cancer. The treatment requires a team of doctors, a urologist, a surgeon and oncologist. The surgery is not without risks and side effects, so some prefer other means.

Breast Cancer-blessing

You probably wonder how breast cancer could be a blessing?

Currently, there is a simple answer to this question. Since I

believe that everything that happened to us, there is a lesson

that we have to learn. In my encounters with breast cancer, I

have learned a lot, I was not up to date on her topic.

My experience with breast cancer has helped me, my way of

life. My position on the lives changed, and my priorities have

changed for the better. I take life for granted no more. I

have learned to live in the moment. I also found that if I at

the moment, life is wonderful. But problems occur as a rule,

when I in the past or in the future. Therefore, I am pleased

to live in the moment. My life is now full and rich. I enjoy

every moment conscious decisions, which I will believe the

time. I have the time, take a walk every morning, roses feel,

hear the birds chirp, my plants to speak, and to hear the

silence. More than anything, I feel valuable life everything

around me.

It may be a cliché to call my breast cancer a blessing. But

often, I wonder whether my life would have been as rich as it

is today, if I am not travelled on this road. It is a journey

that has been enriched by many courageous people especially

the brave women.

Treatment for skin cancer

The goal of treatment is to tumors or cancer cells that are in the skin. The operation of the cancer cells of the skin is easy and requires no cutting or excisions, as for the other operations. There are two types of treatment for skin treatment. Systematic treatment. The treatment will focus on patients in whom the infection spread only in the question of the place, and the infection is not propagated in other areas. Systematic treatment by the doctors in the infection of the skin, organs or other parties. If the infection is really serious localized treatments are not very effective.

The techniques used for the treatment of skin cancer are:

A. Surgery: Surgery is more effective, the disease is not bad. In other words, if the skin cancer is not one of the other parties propagated, and the surgery is the efficient method. The growth of tumors or removed. The injuries or tumors that develop are excerpts from surgical procedures.

B. Radiation therapy: If the infection is serious, and tumors can not only by surgery, and the method of radiation therapy used. Either the generators radiation source is kept outside of the person's body or a person who injects. The external radiation therapy is effective for the skin.

C. chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a kind of treatment, where the chemical reagents are added initiated these substances body and lead to reactions and destroy the cells inside the body.

The treatment is useful in the treatment of BCC and CCN melanoma and requires a systematic treatment.

Often, the doctors not only a technical but with the combination of the two methods. The cancer cells are, in fact, destroyed when two or more methods. But there are many side effects of chemo-and radiotherapy. The cancer cells are affected, thereby also the normal cells.
