Cancer is a type of diseases known as unregulated
cell growth, also medically term as malignant neoplasm. There are different
types of cancer and they are classified by the cells which are affected
primarily. Uncontrolled cancers can cause serious damage on the tissue as well
as cells and lead to death.
Cancer spread throughout the blood on lymph systems.
Cancer damaged cells and form lumps which is terms as tumors. All tumors are
not cancerous. There are more than 200 different cancers.
Symptoms of Cancer
Unusual lump recognized in the body, Changes occur
on the skin; cough and hoarseness affected the patients and abnormal bleeding
specially on the vagina or urine. Feel pain when urine passes and tiredness,
weight loss, fatigue also appear on the phenotype characteristics.
Causes of Cancer
DNA Type Genes
When gene mutation failed to correct DNA damage and
failed to commit suicide thus cancer is formed. Cancer is a result of mutations
and uncontrolled cell growth.
Carcinogens
Altering cellular metabolism or damaging DNA in
cell, carcinogens occurs cancers. Gamma, the sun rays, x-rays, tobacco,
arsenic, asbestos exhaust fumes are the sources of carcinogens.
Family type genes
Genetic inheritances or heredity also reason of
cancer. This type cancer occurred from family member.
Physical agents
Some physical factors are responsible rather than
chemical. Exposure to asbestos, which are major causes of Mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma occurs in the serous membrane which is surrounding the lungs.
Metabolic cobalt, nickel and non fibrous particulate carcinogens cause cancers.
Repairing the trauma causes and influences cancer.
Cancer diagnosis
Cancers are recognized through their symptoms or
screening. Some medical test for diagnosis cancer such as: blood test, X-ray,
CT Scans and endoscopy.
Prevention of cancer
Balanced diet and eating healthy
Only single food can prevent cancer risk. Some
research shows a connection between certain group of foods and reduction in
cancer risk.
Fiber food reduces the risk of bowel cancer. Fiber
food like: pasta, breakfast cereals, bread, fruit, pulses and vegetables.
Protein, vitamins and minerals are needed for
balanced diet.
Maintaining healthy and normal body
weight
High body weight raises the risks of different
cancers. Over weight should be controlled.
Stopping smoking
Most of the lung cancers are caused by smoking.
Smoking should be stopped at the earlier.
Vaccination
To prevent some infection, vaccination should be
developed. Human papilla mavirus vaccine decreases the chances of increasing
cervical cancer.
Less drinking alcohol
Alcohol drinking is connected to oral cancer, bowel
cancer, breast cancer and liver cancer.
Screening
Screening is attempt of early diagnosis. In case of
Breast cancer mammograms are applied. Cancer screening specially applied to
healthy peoples after a certain age.
Management of cancer
There are many management strategies, which are
describing briefly
Surgery
It is the oldest treatment. Non metastasized cancer
can be stopped by surgically removing the cancer from the body.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy applies chemicals which interfere with
the division process. Chemotherapy treatment is used for treatment cancer,
which has metastasized. In this treatment are occurs some side effect such as
hair fall, nausea fatigue, and vomiting.
Radiation
Radiation treatment involves the use of toning
radiation. It is the alternative medicine for cancer. Radiation therapy may additionally run internally once little pellets
of seeds that emit radiation are
established within the body of
the patient. The seeds emit little
amounts of radiation.
Gene therapy
The target of gene therapy is to change damaged
genes with ones that work.
Immunotherapy
This includes medical aid with
molecules known as being antibodies that concentrate on the cancer specifically
and spare healthy cells.
