Huge changes in the current civilization has contributed to raising the level of human well-being and comfort
and progress, but on the other hand have led to the discovery of a lot of diseases that have a significant and tangible impact in the community, especially the various types of cancer disease.
Many questions may revolve mind to hear this disease, which, like other many diseases Latin origin name names, and Romans in ancient times were dependent in the naming of the disease on the phenomena or video at the same disease symptoms, where it was noted that the blood vessels surrounding the tumor is cancerous is very much like the legs of an animal limit Lobster hence the label. The Gallen, a doctor Grecian launched cancer malignant tumors because of their behaviors sea Kalanchar cancer quickly and in many directions name.
To illustrate how this disease is, you first have to know that the human body is composed of many cells differ in their forms and vital functions, each cell of the external casing and the nucleus is made up, where reservation basic information of the cell in the nucleus in a molecule of DNA, which in turn contain 46 chromosomes made up of millions of genes that serve to identify a system and method of work of each individual cell.
During the normal life cycle are offset from the damaged body cells by cell division, where the cell to produce another version of the DNA and then divided into two identical cells. This split occurs on a regular basis, allowing our bodies to grow and replace or repair the damage of important tissues. And in case of any defect in this integrated system results in tumor it is.
Valsrtan a general term used to describe a group of diseases characterized by growth and division of cells is the limits of body tissues and the ability of these cells to invade surrounding tissues and destroy them or move to distant tissues through the blood or lymphatic system is the so-called malignant tumor.
Tumors are divided into two types
Main themes:
Benign tumors: it is coated fabric Levy and non-proliferation and often for Ataud to reappear after removal. And the removal of this type of tumor surgical intervention, especially when they are large in size or a burden on the patient and members or close them, which prevents them from working normally. Some benign tumors may become malignant and recall the example of the glandular tumor in the colon, which over time could turn into colon cancer.
Malignancies: Instead of compensating those damaged cells Giraltabieih cells multiply dramatically outweighed non-stop on a patient, they also have the potential to spread to other organs in the body through all of the blood and lymphatic organs. There are more than a hundred types of cancer which vary according to its textile component such as breast and liver cancer and myeloid leukemia (leukemia) both types of acute and chronic. And it affects different age stages of cancer, but the risk of infection increases as people age.
Symptoms:
Cancer symptoms are divided into three sections are as follows:
General symptoms: such as loss of weight, fatigue and general fatigue, loss of appetite, sweating, especially at night.
Localized symptoms: including the emergence of a solid or changes in the external surface of the skin form of the block.
Symptoms indicate the spread: Khdot inflation in different lymph nodes in the body or in the liver or pain in the bones.
Diagnosis:
Diagnosis is made through the following: * * laboratory blood tests rays cross-sectional * biopsy (sample) of the tumor.
The proportion of its spread:
Studies and recent statistics indicate that the rate of cancer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is on the rise.
More than ten types of cancer prevalent among Saudis (female):
Breast cancer in women (25%).
Thyroid cancer (3.10%).
Colorectal cancer (2.9%).
Lymphoma is Agdgkinah (6.6%).
Leukemia (4.5%).
Cervical cancer (4.2%).
Ovarian cancer (3.5%).
Agdgkinah lymphoma (2.8%).
Skin cancer (2.7%).
Liver cancer (2.5%).
More prevalent among Saudis ten types of cancer (male):
Colorectal cancer (11.3%).
Lymphoma is Agdgkinah (8.7%).
Leukemia (7.9%).
Liver cancer (7.2%).
Lung cancer (6.7%).
Prostate cancer (6.3%).
Agdgkinah lymphoma (4.1%).
Bladder cancer (4.1%).
Stomach cancer (3.9%).
Skin cancer (3.8%).
Reasons:
Of the reasons for turning healthy cells into cancerous changes in the genes and cells due to exposure to certain carcinogens factors such as:
Incidence of viral or bacterial infections such as infection caused by hepatitis B or C.
There is a family history of prior injury.
Intensive exposure to harmful rays.
Smoking.
Chemical carcinogens such as asbestos used in construction and roofing houses and internal and external insulators, water pipes and drainage, ventilation and fumes.
Alcohol.
Genetics that play a role in some cases where the occurrence of mutations linked to inherited such as acute leukemia and other cancer and Down syndrome.
Methods of Treatment:
Treatment requires careful carefully to choose the therapeutic intervention of one or a set of interventions such as surgery and radiation and chemotherapy. The purpose is to ensure the recovery of patients, prolong life and improve the quality of their lives. And depending on the type and stage of the disease and general health condition of the patient, and complements the psychological support of both diagnosis and treatment.
Surgery: where is removed part of the tumor or complete depending on the type and position of the tumor.
Chemotherapy: It uses the chemical treatments designed to kill cancer cells with its effect on normal cells are taken through several means: pills oral, intramuscular needle, a needle under the skin, spinal cord fluid, intravenous.
Radiation therapy: Also called x-ray therapy, which is the use of ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells and reduce tumor size. Radiation therapy can be provided externally through an external or internal radiation through brachytherapy.
Directed therapy: which became available for the first time in the late nineties has a significant impact in the treatment of some types of cancer and is currently the subject of research by the great activity. It is a use of some specific materials for abnormal proteins that form in cancer cells. These materials are of small molecules inhibitors of enzymatic domains in the types of mutant proteins have been produced or more quantities of natural or otherwise critical proteins within the cancer cells. Prominent examples are the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which the latest significant progress in the treatment of chronic myeloid blood cancer and heal more than 80% of patients without the need for bone marrow transplant.
Inhibitor treatment of blood vessels: which works to prevent the growth of blood vessels in the tumor intensively area which tumors need to stay alive configuration. It has been approved, some of which are currently in clinical use.
Hormone therapy: where blocking the growth of some types of cancer take place through the supply or prevent certain hormones. Preventing estrogen or testosterone is often an important addition during the treatment of testicular cancer.
Immunotherapy: This type of therapy refers to a variety of therapeutic strategies designed to induce the patient's immune system to fight the tumor. Contemporary methods for generating an immune response against tumors include the use of a vaccine «BCG» processor immunologically into the bladder for the treatment of superficial bladder cancer, and the use of interferon and other cells that urges the immune response in cases of renal cell cancer and melanoma patients. At present, we find that the vaccines that work to generate specific immune response is the subject of an intensive search for a number of tumors.
Finally, dear readers early detection essential cornerstone of the high proportion of cured cancer disease liquid Allah Almighty to protect us and you from all harm.
