Causes and Symptoms of Lung Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 12:04:00 +0700

Description
Lung cancer, like all cancers, is the result of an abnormal cell, the most basic unit of life. Normally, the body maintain a system of checks and balances on cell growth, so that cells divide to produce new cells are needed. Disruption of the balance system of uncontrolled cell growth and eventually form a mass called a tumor.

Tumors can be benign or malignant, and malignant tumor is called cancer. Benign tumors can usually be removed and not spread to other body parts. Malignant tumors, on the other hand, grow aggressively and attacking other body tissues, so that the tumor cells into the bloodstream or lymphatic system and then to the inside of the body. Deployment process is called metastasis.

Since lung cancer tends to spread or metastasize, it is life threatening. Lung cancer can spread to every organ in the body, especially the adrenal glands, liver, brain, and bone. This cancer is also one of the most difficult cancers to treat. The lungs are also the organ most frequently affected by tumors in other body parts.
Cause The main cause of lung cancer is smoking well as active smokers or passive smokers. While other causes contamination of the surrounding air by the substance of asbestos, air pollution by fumes or combustion including tobacco smoke.

Symptoms
Cancer does not show any symptoms are visible from the outside if cell growth is not severe. As many as 25% of patients with lung cancer, known symptoms after their routine chest X ray or CT scan. If proven to have lung cancer then it will look like a coin dots ketch.

Symptoms associated with this type of cancer among other respiratory disorders that cause symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain, and coughing up blood (hemoptysis).
If the cancer has invaded nerves, for example, can cause shoulder pain that moves on the outside of the arm (called Pancoast's syndrome) or vocal cord paralysis causes hoarseness. Invasion of the esophagus can cause difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). If breathing is hampered, leading to infection (abscesses, pneumonia) in the area hampered.

Symptoms related to metastasis: Lung cancer that has spread to bone can produce tremendous pain in the bones. While the cancer that has spread to the brain can cause a number of neurological symptoms like blurred vision, headaches, seizures, or stroke symptoms such as weakness or loss of sensation in the body.

Treatment
Treatment for lung cancer can involve surgical removal of cancer, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, as well as combinations of these treatments. Decisions about treatment will be eligible for certain individuals must take into account the localization and extent of the tumor and the patient's overall health status.

Like other cancers, may be determined revocation or cancer therapy or palliative (measures that can not cure cancer but can reduce the pain and suffering of patients.

How to Protect the Body of Cancer Risk

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 11:54:00 +0700

Any kind of disease cancer remains a frightening specter for most people. But there are several ways you can do to reduce cancer risk.

The scientists claim the estimated one-third of cancer cases that occur can be prevented by healthy diet. Also avoid triggers such as cigarette cancer, exhaust fumes and stress can have a positive impact.

For that the World Cancer Research Fund recommends several ways to protect the body from cancer risk.

Maintain ideal body weight remained
Having an ideal weight or overweight is one of the best ways to reduce the chances of someone getting cancer. In addition to reducing cancer risks, ideal weight also provides protection against diabetes and diseases
heart.

Avoiding foods high in fat, salt, sugar and calories
Reducing these foods together with all kinds of sugary drinks can reduce the risk of cancer. Limit the consumption of meat, especially meat or processed products can also provide meaningful effect. Instead, multiply the consumption of fiber and various kinds of vegetables, fruits and several kinds of nuts.

Do not take supplements to protect themselves from cancer
Eating different types of supplements are not proven effective in reducing cancer risk, even some supplements have been proven harmful to the body through different ways. The experts expressed a healthy diet was more effective than supplements.

Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months
A mother should exclusively breastfeed their babies within the first 6 months of life, then just beginning to introduce fluids and other foods. Various evidence suggests exclusive breastfeeding can reduce the risk of cancer in women and children limit the opportunity to be obese.

Doing regular exercise
Doing regular exercise at least 30 minutes each day like walking quickly can reduce the risk of cancer and provide benefits for the heart and also keep the waist size.

Color Diet Prevents Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 10:39:00 +0700

What color is actually a diet? According to the author of What Color is Your Diet?, David Heber, MD, Ph.D., food color diet, especially vegetables and fruits, very good for health, especially in preventing cancer. Not solely a diet to lose weight.

The idea of this diet is that foods with specific colors, there are also specific nutrients. The stronger the color of vegetables and fruit, nutritional content is also growing.

Here are some basic diet in Heber color-coded system.

Red. Vegetables and fruits rich in lycopene is red, which can reduce the risk of cancer. For example tomatoes and watermelons.

Orange. This type of food containing alpha and beta-carotene, which is good to prevent the occurrence of cancer. For example carrots and mango.

Orange or yellow. Orange or yellow color indicates that it contains vitamin C is good to protect body cells. It also contains betacryptoxanthin, one of the many components of carotenoids. This type of nutrients can be obtained from the orange, papaya, and nectar.

Yellow or green. High green vegetable carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin that contribute to eye health. These nutrients are contained in spinach and other greens, green beans, and avocado.

Green. This type of vegetables contain sulforaphane, isothiocyanates, and indoles, which according to Heber to stimulate the liver to make components that can break down cancer-causing chemical. For example broccoli, cabbage, bok choi, and brussel sprouts.

White or green. These foods contain flavonoids that can protect cell membranes. Food source that can be utilized are garlic, onions, celery, and pears

Prevent Cancer with Grape Seed

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 10:31:00 +0700

So far, people familiar with wine as a delicious and healthful fruit. Did you know, eating grapes while its seeds are much more nutritious because the content of antioxidants that can reduce risk of skin cancer?

Some people would think twice if asked to eat grapes with seeds at once. It might seem strange because during the person intentionally discard seeds. In fact, while being engrossed in enjoying, would feel uncomfortable if there are seeds that get caught, and spontaneous release. No wonder, people are looking for fruit wine with little or no seed.

From now on, throw it reluctantly. The reason, various studies reveal, in addition to antioxidant-rich, the wine was developed as potential anticancer natural remedies, especially reducing skin cell abnormalities due to exposure to sunlight. That is, such as skin and flesh, the seeds were abundant grape efficacious compounds.

That's the conclusion of researchers from the University of Alabama, United States, against mice. In his research, a group of mice without hair is exposed to ultraviolet light (UV). Some were given additional food (extract) contain chemicals derived from the seeds of grapes (grape seed proanthocyanidins / GSPs), whereas other rats given regular diet without supplements.

Based on the observations and results of laboratory tests, mice given the extract additional GSPs enough to react positively and effectively inhibit the harmful effects of UV, which can trigger carcinogenic (cancer originator.) Tumors in the body of the mice were 78 percent smaller than those not given the grape seed extract.

Press the formation of estrogen

In a presentation delivered Dr. Santosh K Katiyar in an annual conference of the American Chemical Society, mentioned that GSPs have antioxidant active. As is known, UV light can inhibit the immune system and these problems can be avoided thanks to GSPs.

He advocated the consumption of GSPs extract regularly as a daily supplement to enhance immune from attack of free radicals as well as reduce risks and avoid the dangers of skin cancer.

Meanwhile, researchers Shiuan Chen PhD from the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope explained that the grape juice (with seeds) effectively suppress the growth of cancer cells by preventing the synthesis of the hormone estrogen plays a major role in the development of breast cancer.

Through lab tests, fruit juices and grape seed proved able to stop the production of the hormone estrogen in cells. Recent research using mice that planted tumor cells showed a tumor the size of mice given 0.5 ml of grape juice for five weeks only a third of which are not given the grape juice. Research last year showed that extracts of red wine (not white wine) contains compounds similar to those in grape juice and can suppress the formation of estrogen.

Choose a dark color

In the country I have found no formal studies, perhaps because our country is not a big wine producer and consumer. However, empirically, recognized the benefits of grape seed and fruit for health.

It was as disclosed Pudji Rahayu, developer of medicinal plants in Depok, West Java. It has long been his use of grape seed as a mixture of juice for immune-enhancing herbs.

"Do not a lot, just five to ten grains grapes when used as a mixture of fruits or other herbs. We suggest choosing a dark colored, like purple and blue, because more seeds. This method allows for the ability to chew it began to decrease, especially the elderly, "he said.

Even so, it should be noted that consumption of wine with the skins of fruits and seeds can create irritation in patients with gastric disorders. Therefore, if your digestion, including sensitive, you should not eat when the stomach is empty. Train your digestion by taking it in limited quantities while watching the reaction.

So, from now of course there's no reason to refuse to eat grapes with skins and seeds because they are more useful and efficacious.

Control tension with blueberries

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 10:15:00 +0700

For those of you who like to eat fruits should begin to consider blueberries or strawberries as an option. Recent research indicates, fresh fruit snacking habits of this one bring substantial benefits to health, which helps lower blood pressure.

In a study published the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists discovered the real benefits of blueberries after monitoring the diet approximately 160,000 men and women for 14 years. The scientists analyzed one element in the diet is that antioxidant substances called flavonoids.

The study showed, those who ate the most anthocyanins-a type of flavonoid-recorded 12 percent lower risk of high blood pressure than those who rarely eat fruits that contain these antioxidants.

Bluberie and strawberries are two kinds of fruit that is believed to be the best sources of anthocyanins. In fact, those who regularly ate about 1 / 2 cup blueberries in a week recorded 10 per cent lower high blood pressure than those who never eat this fruit. Previous research linking substance also exist anthocyanins with blood vessels more flexible.

"Anthocyanins can increase the production of sodium oxide in the body, which makes blood vessels become more flexible so that blood can more easily pass through," said Aedin Cassidy, Ph.D., a researcher from the University of East Anglia, England.

But what about the other antioxidants? Scientists have also carried out a review of other types of flavonoids - are contained in dark chocolate, red wine and tea - and its quasi has properties reduce the risk of hypertension.

However, flavonoids in blueberries apparently still more superior. "Other antioxidants may also reduce the risk of high blood pressure, but not as good as anthocyanins. Why? Estimate you are not as good as they got, but future research will uncover any questions about this," says Cassidy.

Beer Really Healthy?

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 10:08:00 +0700

Beer is the third most popular beverage in the world after water and tea. This drink is also known to be the oldest drinks and had made long before recorded history. Although beer can be intoxicating but have touted the health benefits.

The process begins by soaking wheat seeds to germinate (malted) and then heated to produce the sugars and flavor. Some brewers sometimes use rice or corn and using the extra fruit, herbs and spices to produce a unique flavor.

The next process is to mix the seed sprouts, grains that are not heated in water. The resulting sugars and starch solution is poured and then fermented to produce beer. Clarity of the color of beer depends on the level of roasting. The color of dark beer that comes from wheat that baked until slightly darker.

Alcohol content in beer is not so much compared to other liquor, like vodka or whiskey. Alcohol in beer varies between less than 3 percent to 40 percent (by volume) depending on the type and manufacturing techniques.

Make healthy

Although classified as liquor, but various studies show beer, like wine, if consumed in moderate doses can be healthy for the body. Basic ingredients of beer making is a source of carbohydrates, B vitamins and potassium.

"The scientific evidence says alcohol, whatever kind can increase levels of good cholesterol and reduce heart attack risk by 30 percent," said Eric Rimm, ScD, a researcher from Harvard University.

He also said alcohol can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of diabetes. Because beer also contain high enough fluids, beer consumption also reduces the risk of kidney stones. In small doses of alcohol also can make blood circulation more smoothly.

Even so need to be considered a healthy dose of beer, no more than two doses. The recommended dose is 12 ounces (equivalent to 1.5 cups) of beer each day.

"Excessive consumption may eliminate health benefits of beer and increase the risk of liver disease, cancer, cirrhosis, alcoholism and obesity," says Rimm, committee members Dieteray Guidelines 2010.

He also suggested that beer is not consumed by high-calorie foods, including small meals (snacks) that are usually available when watching sporting events or chatting casually.

Levels of cortisol in the blood stream varies depending on time (normally, cortisol is at the highest level in the morning and lowest around midnight).

Cortisol is very important to maintain blood pressure and also in produce energy for the body. In addition, cortisol also stimulates the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates to quickly produce energy and stimulate insulin release and to keep their blood sugar levels. The end result of this chain of events is increased appetite.

Cortisol was named as the "stress hormone" because of the excessive expenditure of cortisol can occur due to either physical or psychological stress and become involved in disorder at the expense of cortisol and can lead to weight gain.

Not only that, but cortisol also affect which areas will be increased. Several studies have shown that increased cortisol due to stress increased the accumulation of fat in the abdominal area than your hips. Accumulation of fat is referred to as toxic fat because of the addition of fat in the abdominal area is often associated with an increased risk of heart disease, including heart attack and stroke.

But that should not be forgotten, metabolic factors, food intake, many olahrga, type of food consumed, and time pengonsumsian food also affects the body's metabolism to increase or decrease in weight.

Not everyone in the stress condition would result in high cortisol and weight gain also can not be predicted. Increased cortisol vary greatly between individuals.

Mesothelioma Cancer, Asbestos and Industrial

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 20:26:00 +0700

In industrialized countries, lung cancer is one of the main causes of death from all cancer deaths. Lung cancer mostly affects those aged 40 to 70 years. Smoking is one risk factor in lung cancer and 80% of lung cancer cases occur in smokers. Exposure to certain chemicals in the workplace is also clearly associated with the development of lung cancer.

Figures for the incidence of lung was increased in workers exposed to some form of nickel, chromium, and asbestos. Asbestos is widely used in industry. Usability is important in asbestos cement sheets industry and pipes, insulation materials, compounds for soldering, and tiles for floors and ceilings. Indoor air contamination, especially in schools, has become a major concern in many countries. Some countries have even banned the use of asbestos in the establishment and prohibit demolition of buildings which contain a compound that.
System disease due to exposure to asbestos exposure include asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesotheliomas. Other cancers associated with exposure to asbestos is a cancer of the larynx, esophagus, stomach, colon-rectum, and possibly pancreatic cancer.

Asbestosis is pulmonary fibrosis that develops slowly from inhaling high concentrations of asbestos dust or due to long exposure. Its severity depends on the time span between awitan (initial) exposure and its intensity, then advanced asbestosis is often associated with lung cancer, especially among smokers.

Pleural mesotheliomas is a rare type of cancer. Increased incidence of mesotheliomas associated with the inhalation of asbestos fibers in the working environment. Although initially symptoms slightly, mesotheliomas can be cured if successfully diagnosed. The time between exposure to asbestos and the appearance of first signs of tumors ranging from 20 to 50 years, especially mesotheliomas. The increase in the incidence of mesotheliomas numbers also appear in the population who, although not exposed in occupational, lived in the same house or living with asbestos workers in the vicinity of the source of asbestos emissions. Although asbestos is no longer used as an insulator, this substance is still in the spotlight because of the danger that comes from building a sekatnya using asbestos.

10 Jobs Threatening Lung Health

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 20:07:00 +0700

Every job has its own risks, including in terms of lung health. But there are 10 jobs that can be risky and harmful to lung health.
"Most types of lung disease can be prevented due to work, the simple steps in controlling exposure and also can reduce risk," said Philip Harber, MD, professor and head of the UCLA Occupational and Environmental Medicine Division, as quoted from the Health, Friday ( 21/01/2011).

Here are 10 areas of work that may pose a risk to the health of one's lungs are:

Construction
Workers can inhale the dust of demolition or renovation activities at risk of contracting lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestos, which is a disease that causes scarring and stiffness in the lungs. For that necessary protective clothing including respirator (special masks) when working around the building and avoid smoking.

Manufacturing
Factory worker could be exposed to dust, chemicals and gases that can increase the risk of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). Certain chemicals such as diacetyl flavorings used in microwave popcorn, wine and food plants could cause a devastating disease is bronchiolitis obliterans. Simple steps such as wearing a mask when using hazardous chemicals can reduce the risk.

Health workers
It is estimated that about 8-12 percent of health workers is very sensitive to the existing powder on latex gloves, which can cause severe reactions or trigger asthma, allergies.

Textiles
Byssinosis or known by the name of brown lung disease is a common condition among textile workers who make seats, towels, socks, sheets and clothing. When the cotton is separated will create some dust that causes significant damage to the air flow, these particles also exist from other materials. To reduce wear mask, improving ventilation and avoiding tobacco.

Bartender
Serving drinks in a room full of cigarette smoke placing bartenders at high risk of lung disease, particularly if regularly exposed to secondhand smoke and for many years.

Bakery workers
This work can trigger asthma due to flour dust at risk of a very significant develop allergic sensitization. Another common thing is the reaction of asthma to enzymes used in turning the dough, and other allergens are often found in flour.

Automotive Industry
Workers in particular automotive repair car body parts are very likely to develop asthma. This is because products such as spray paint and polyurethane isocyanate may cause skin irritation, allergies, shortness of breath and cause severe breathing difficulties. The use of a respirator, gloves, goggles and good ventilation can be very helpful.

Transport Workers
Truck drivers, public transport and those who served in the loading and unloading at risk of COPD. This condition is often affected due to air pollution from motor vehicles, especially diesel exhaust.

Mining
The miners at high risk of a number of lung diseases such as COPD (due to dust exposure) and silicosis (scarring disease of the lungs due to silica Airborne). Meanwhile, coal miners at risk of lung disease called pneumokoniosis (black lung). This disease is a long term investment, hence the use of masks that can filter fine dust can help.

Firefighters
Firefighters at risk of inhaling smoke and various chemicals that may exist inside the burning building. Exposure to toxic materials and asbestos is a risk that often occurs after the fire goes out. For that respiratory protective equipment should always be used at all stages of extinction fire, including when officers combing the rubble to make sure the fire is not lit anymore.

Beware of Sleeping In a state of hunger Can Trigger Cancer!

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 14:57:00 +0700

When finished working overtime or working on the task until midnight, not a few people are still looking for good food to pamper themselves after a day exhausted to work. Many Others thought that sleeping in a state of hunger is not good for the body, but it so?
Recently, medical scientists, the Japanese conducted research on the eating habits of a group of people aged 30-40 years. They found that 38.4% of patients with gastric cancer, have a habit of eating at night is not regular. Membrane of glandular stomach is a layer that covered the whole surface of the stomach, consists of a variety of substances and including one gland is quite complicated. Age of cells in the lining of the gland is very short, only about 2-3 days, after which it must be replaced (regenerated) with new cells. This regeneration process typically lasts at night, when the stomach and bowel rest. So if we often eat dinner over an hour (midnight), can cause stomach and bowel can not relax and perform the regeneration process perfectly. In addition, when we went to bed after midnight meal, food will settle the stomach longer, so it will cause stimulation of the stomach to spend more lymph fluid. When this stimulation occurs in the long term, can cause the lining of the stomach glands go bad and cause injury so that the immune system to be decreased. Worse yet, if the food contains cancer-causing substances, such as processed foods by frying, baked or roasted. If the old settle in the stomach, can be bad for stomach gland membranes and ultimately lead to gastric cancer. (The Epoch Times / Foe)

They gave it substance in mice that had been infected with human colon cancer cells. Mice used were specially grown mice, making them more susceptible to cancer.
Fifteen days later, Bode and the Dong began to observe results. In mice that underwent a normal diet to 13 mice were exposed to the tumor. While the group of mice that received injections of extracts of ginger - before and after tumor cells were infected - only found four mice infestation tumors.
Unfortunately, there is no information on whether to consume ginger in the simple form also provide benefits for preventing cancer. You see, not so far our society has become more familiar familiar with ginger - began to drink round, sekoteng, ginger candy, or other?

If the fibers are inhaled body can not dissipate by physiological processes. Fiber stay in the lungs and in many cases their way through the lungs, from time to Time to be embedded in the pleura, the outer layer of the lung.

Normally there are several mesothelioma clinical trials, which occur at certain times, which is active in more than one location. It is not easy for patients with mesothelioma to participate in a position in a research project in depth, recruitment usually takes place in several locations is carried out. Many of these studies, which marketed the use of pemetrexed, under the name of ALIMTA. This is the only medication FDA approved for the treatment of Mesothelioma and are frequently used in patients not candidates for surgery. Many clinical studies have been performed using anti-cancer drug pemetrexed and effectivechemotherapy, cisplatin in particular .

However, clinical studies continue to choose not only chemotherapy, but the design of new treatments such asimmunotherapy.
