The most commonly used treatments for lung cancer are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. The exact treatment a lung cancer patient receives will depend on several factors. These include the type of cancer, the stage or extent to which it has spread at the time of diagnosis, and the overall health of the patient.Non-small cell lung cancer, which accounts for about 80 percent of lung cancer cases, is treated depending on its stage at diagnosis. Lung surgery is the mainstay of treatment for the early stages of lung cancer. Cancerous tissue, along with a margin of healthy tissue, is removed. Patients who are unable to have surgery may be treated with radiotherapy. While cure rates for early lung...

With the holiday season just around the corner, cranberries will start to make their yearly appearance in Thanksgiving and other seasonal meals. Their tangy flavor and bright red color make them a favorite this time of year (it's also when they're most plentiful, as their peak season runs from October to December). But flavor and color aside, there's another reason to enjoy cranberries (and even make them part of your diet year-round)--they're incredibly nutritious and great for your health. Cranberries and Your Heart Studies have found that cranberries reduce the risk of heart disease. Most recently, a study...

The uncontrolled growth of cells around the outer region of the prostate, which gives rise to the development of a malignant tumor, is called prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is common among American males. Over 250,000 cases are diagnosed in the United States every year.Early signs of prostate cancer are difficult to detect. Symptoms only set in once the tumor spreads. Change in urination habits with increased frequency or dribbling are the first signs of prostate cancer. The cancer may spread from the prostate to nearby lymph nodes, bones or other organs, leading to a condition called metastasis. As a result, some men experience back pain. Once the cancer spreads beyond the prostate it is...

My father died from lung cancer on January third, 2005. After entering a nursing facility for rehab, we soon discovered that he had stage four small-cell lung cancer. He lived for three and one-half weeks after his diagnosis.While January third never had any signficance before, it now holds signficance for me that I would never have imagined.The words to the poem describe how one often feels about the anniversary of a person's death.Before this year, for as long as I recall, January was a good month for me. Though winter brought snow, and a deep-seated chill, it was the beginning of the end you see.For January meant winter, and winter means spring, and spring is the beginning of life, The death...

By now you should be familiar with the yellow 'LiveStrong' rubber cancer awareness bracelets. They were popularized by seven-time Tour de France cycling champion and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong. The money from their proceeds goes for cancer research.If he has planning to pitchfork cancer awareness into society's consciousness, Lance Armstrong has done a really good job. His rubber bracelets are ubiquitous today, an ever present awareness tool for cancer, and a fund-raising tool for cancer research.Among cancer awareness bracelets, next to Armstrong's rubber wristbands come the breast cancer awareness bracelets. However, unlike the 'LiveStrong' rubber band bracelets, these breast cancer awareness...

If you read my last article, you know that I have been living with back pain for quite a few years. It has been on and off and for the most part; acupuncture and a good chiropractor have kept me in working order.Since I was feeling so good, I decided to play some basketball with some guys from work. Well, I landed a little awkward after going up for a shot and really wrenched my back. I kept playing for awhile (yeah, I know; not a good idea) thinking that it would work itself out. Of course, it didn't. It just got worse and when I went and laid down to ease the pain I found I couldn't get up.I made it home and took a bunch of ibuprofen; I have never taken any hard pain meds and don't ever want to...

Progesterone is produced in both men and women but is produced in sufficiently lesser quantity in men. Just as in women, progesterone normalizes the adrenal hormones. Additionally, it helps in stopping the testosterone from turning into DHT and helps control the production of estrogen in men.As men age, the production of progesterone in the body reduces. This might result in prostrate related problems or other such problems. In such instances natural progesterone cream can provide quite some relief. Progesterone is known to have helped in improving the complexion and libido in men.Men are prone to prostrate cancer if the level of estrogen increases in the body. Progesterone cream can used to...

Have you ever wondered why pregnant women get darker skin pigmentation during their pregnancy? The darkening pigmentation, called chloasma or the mask of pregnancy (also known as melasma), is associated with the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. This may also be attributed to race, because women who have darker skin tones are more prone to skin changes. The skin disorder is very common especially for those young women with brownish skin tones and is characterized by tan or brown blotches in the face.Although chloasma is just a common skin disorder, this can be a real cosmetic issue for women because the discoloration of the skin is found on the sun-exposed area of the face. This also...

Going on a detox diet is a newer form of cancer prevention that has really taken off.Preventing cancer is possible...

Although many people believe that young women don't get breast cancer, the fact is they can and they do. One in every 229 women between the ages of 30 and 39 will be diagnosed with breast cancer within the next 10 years.The statistics that surround younger women and breast cancer are frightening. Although only a small percentage of all new breast cancer cases each year involve women aged 40 and younger, breast cancer is still the leading cause of death for women between the ages of 15 and 54. The number of young women diagnosed each year with breast cancer is between 11-12,000. Close to 1400 of those women will die each year. A lot of young women and their doctors do not realize that they too...

Capsaicin (the stuff in peppers that makes them hot), is a flavourless, odourless chemical concentrated in the veins and seeds of chillis and peppers. Capsaicin has been associated with a number of cures that include lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol and warding off strokes and heart attacks, speeding up metabolism, treating colds and fevers, preventing cancer and pain control. Chilli also protects against the side effects of aspirin and chilli eaters develop fewer peptic ulcers than those who eat plain foods. Also, rates of stomach cancer are unusually low in countries where chilli peppers are part of a regular diet, as capsaicin appears to neutralize some carcinogens. Research has...

Cervical cancer affects the female body in the cervix region. The womb of a woman finds its opening through the cervix. Many a times the human papilloma virus causes the disease. It is transmitted thru sexual exchanges. The cervix being the most important organ of the reproductive system requires proper attention as far as cancer onset is concerned. Such a cancer affects the other organs of the cervix region and can cause damage to the reproductive organs. This makes the disease all the more fatal. Such a spread is commonly termed as metastasis.Although human papilloma virus is the main cause of the disease but it is also diagnosed with women who are in a habit of smoking. The instances of lung and...

Prostate cancer is a complex heterogeneous disease that acts differently in different men. Therefore, treatment varies amongst individuals. A wide array of treatments exists for prostate cancer, which includes surgery, radiation, hormone deprivation therapy, chemotherapy, dietary changes and the use of various herbal supplements.A patient may undergo hormonal therapy to reduce the level of testosterone in the body. Drugs that reduce testosterone production by the testicles like Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LH-RH) agonists are administered. The effect is not immediate and occurs 2-4 weeks after initiation of the therapy. Orchiectomy or castration is a surgical procedure that completely...

Radiation therapy is a simple, painless, and generally well-tolerated tool for treating and even curing breast cancer. One of the most common side effects of radiation therapy to the breast (after a lumpectomy) or to the chest wall (after a mastectomy) is skin irritation. The reaction and its extent differ for every woman. Because radiation therapy is often such an important part of breast cancer treatment, it is important to know how to mitigate its side effects in order to gain the greatest benefit from the therapy.Coping with Skin IrritationRadiation-induced skin reactions are more likely to occur in people who received chemotherapy shortly before or during radiation therapy and in women who...

By now most of us have heard that green tea has been shown to be an effective cancer preventer. There are numerous studies that have shown green tea's anti-oxidants to have significant power in protecting our health and preventing disease. Much of the research on green tea has been performed on laboratory mice, mostly because human trials take years to perform, and because human trials are rife with variables that can make conclusions difficult to determine. However, one study performed in China on stomach cancer, did look at humans and attempted to ascertain whether or not green tea could mitigate their cancer risk, particularly in those who had a higher than average risk of stomach cancer, due to...

Kidney Stones are surprisingly common and becoming more so. Americans have about a 10% chance of suffering kidney stones in their lifetime, although in the western world generally the overall chance is around 4%.The difference is explained because kidney stones are, to a large extent, a disease of affluence, particularly where a high fat, low fiber diet is consumed.The exact cause of kidney stones is quite complex, but gender certainly plays a part, because twice as many men as women get them. Incidents of kidney stones are most common between the ages of 25 and 45. After age 50, the incidence of stones in both sexes declines.Often, there is no sign you even have a kidney stone, because they are too...

By epidemiological studies and by direct trials, much evidence has by now been gathered about the cancer prevention effects of certain diet measures, of specific food sources and of specific supplements of natural substances.GENERAL DIET ADVICESA diet with the aim of preventing cancer is generally the same as a diet to prevent heart disease and other diseases. Here are the general diet advices- Avoid or reduce the amount of food that are industrially processed, artificially made or heavily fried.- Eat fish at least every second day. Also eat seafood and fouls.- Do not eat very much red meat.- Eat 5 fruits or vegetables each day. Each piece should be of the size of an apple or carrot. They should be...

Excessive sweating can be a sign of infection, stress or a decline in sex hormones, or it can be normal for you. When your body temperature rises, hot blood flows to your brain, which sends signals to increase the flow of blood to your skin and start you sweating. Your body temperature rises naturally when you exercise or have an infection. However, you can sweat without a high temperature when hormone levels drop. At the menopause, women lose most of their estrogen and when their temperatures rise, they sweat, even if the change is from below normal to normal. The same mechanism occurs when men lose their hormones, such as when they are being treated for prostate cancer.You sweat the most under...
