Do I have to tell the child about cancer?



You may be asking, "Do I have to tell the child about cancer?" Some protect their child try to prevent information about him.But the child knows that the patient does not feel in good health, see a doctor and come back the hospital a lot. It may be difficult to hide information about the child may inadvertently heard from a family member or one of the hospital staff. Perhaps more troublesome for the child to know  by chance about his illness.

News for sick child is not an easy decision. Is first and foremost a personal decision interference factors of personal, family and rely on the general environment in which the child lives. Generally children who know the truth are more collaborators during treatment.

Cancer and children

It can also carry children just like adult cancers, but there are some types of cancer are more common among children. Of the most common types of cancer among children cancer leukemia (blood cancer), which is often made in the bone marrow. Other common cancers brain tumors, Hodgkin's disease, Wilma's tumors, tumors Ewing sarcomas  Pediatric Cancer does not always behave like cancer in adults is also addressed sometimes differ and higher success rates. It may occur suddenly and without early symptoms. Therefore it is necessary not to compare between cancers of children or adults even if they are similar.Child after being diagnosed with cancer, being a doctor series of tests so he can distinguish the type of cancer in children, the size of the tumor, whether it is in the lymphatic glands Will spread or not. In leukemia, for example, doctor examines the bone marrow, liver, spleen and lymph nodes nearby. Of tests that may be required by the doctor X-rays, CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we will talk about these actions later.When a child is diagnosed with cancer, parents face difficult situations where they need to make a decision on the treatment of the child. It is necessary that fathers do not hesitate to seek the opinion of another doctor, if necessary, or that the diagnosis is unclear. Before the beginning of the child's treatment team puts therapy treatment plan summarizes the type of treatments that will be used, and in what way and how long it will last treatment.

Smoking cancer relationship

Hazards caused by smoking:Throat cancer: Smoking causes more than 90% of cancers of the larynx.Lung Cancer: Smoking causes 87% of all lung cancer cases.Cancer of the mouth and esophagusStomach cancer: from 14 to 28 percent of deaths from stomach cancer caused by smoking.Cardiovascular disease: cause nicotine which is the main drug in tobacco shortness of blood vessels, which increases blood pressure and increased heart work and then straining.For cancer, it is expected that one out of every 3 people will develop cancer at some point in his life and that one out of every four people will die from cancer. In general and in the world, deaths that are related to smoking representing approximately 30% of all cancer deaths. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, larynx, pharynx, esophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas. The new studies have shown that there is a relationship between smoking and all cancer of the nasal cavity and stomach cancer and cervical cancer, and that there is a relationship between him and one of the types of leukemia Myeloid Leukemia.Lung Cancer:In 1999, a mortality rate associated with lung cancer, 22% of all cancer deaths. Lung cancer is associated mainly smoking since more than 80% of lung cancer deaths are the reasons for smoking. The risk of death due to smoking increases the increasing number of cigarettes smoked per day, percentage of lung cancer among smokers who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day are 20 times compared to non-smokers. With this in mind that lung cancer in smokers is also associated with the length of time spent smoker to smoke (since the beginning of smoking). These percentages go down until you reach the normal level over the years if the smoker stops smoking altogether.Oral and pharyngeal cancer:Smoking cigarettes and pipe and cigar one of the main causes of throat cancer, oral cancer and cancer of the esophagus. About 90% of oral cancer patients have used tobacco The Balamadg or smoking. Increased incidence of these types of cancer with increasing number of cigarettes smoked and the duration of smoking. Incidence of one of the throat and larynx cancers among heavy smokers aged between 20 to 30 times the incidence among non-smokers. Hazard ratio larger increases of up to 35 times if accompanied smoking alcohol intake. People who consume tobacco and alcohol excessively high incidence, including the throat and pharynx cancer to 90%.Esophageal cancer:Tobacco smoking is one of the reasons associated with cancer of the esophagus. Increased risk with increasing number of cigarettes per day and with the length of the smoking.Bladder Cancer:Smoking is one of the main causes of bladder cancer, which could be avoided and reduce the incidence of cancer by half in the absence of smoking. As in other types of cancer, increases the risk of infection with the increase in the number of cigarettes smoked per day and with the duration of smoking. Stopping smoking reduces the risk of cancer.Pancreatic cancer:Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous types of cancer most were killed is not expected to live more than 4% of patients after 5 years of its discovery. Smoking is one of the most powerful causes associated with pancreatic cancer. The increasing incidence of the disease with increased consumption of cigarettes and the length of the period. In the case of stop smoking once and for all, the infection rate drops even par with those of non-smokers after 10 years of stopping.Stomach cancer:Studies have shown that there is a close relationship between smoking and cancer of the stomach. Incidence increases with increasing number of cigarettes and duration of smoking. As in other cases, stopping smoking reduces the risk of infection with the passage of years.

High intake of meat causes cancer

High intake of meat causes cancer


Recent research reveals issued by the University of Southern California that leukemia in children may be associated with excessive eating processed meat  hamburgers, as that of taking more than 12 pieces of it in the month are at high risk of infection by 1:10 more than children who do not eat at all. According to the second study, conducted on 3,700 men and women that eating processed meat raises the incidence of colon cancer, and the fat in them lead to diseases of aging, including arthritis and clogged arteries and heart disease.

Explains researcher Susanna Larson, who led research team recently affiliated to the British Broadcasting Corporation that the relationship between eating processed meat and other cancers is still controversial, but it is known that eating meat increases the risk of cancer of the colon and rectum. With this in mind, the researchers listed in the University of North Carolina at North American some types of dangerous foods and most consumed in Third World countries, most notably:

_ Processed foods: remember American journalist specialized health and composed more than 32 books, including "brain miracle" Jane Carper there a significant risk resulting from excessive intake of processed meat hamburgers and sausages, salami,  namely high be material  a chemicals consist in the stomach as a result of these products contain sodium nitrate, what is causing the rise in the incidence of all cancers. According to the Medical Research issued by the university, found that young people who eat sausage and salami once a week are more likely to have brain tumors twice as compared to those who do not eat at all, while that people who increased their eating burgers are more susceptible to brain cancer by 80%.



_ Grilled meat: think the majority of  diets that barbecue is the best way to cook, but recent research published by the Center of prevention and control of diseases in America prove that  food on coal, especially meat, may result in large quantities of amines harmful especially if the food where dripping fat fatty meat on coal-fired thermal occurs dissolution resulting cyclic hydrocarbons which are deposited on the surface of the grilled meat. It should be noted that these compounds harmful shifts occur within the human body directly related to the occurrence of cancerous tumors in it, note that eating grilled meat at spaced intervals does not represent a risk to health compared to capturing the permanently. In general, describes a study issued by the University of Medicine, New York, that eating meat a day can displays of colon cancer, pancreas and bladder in men and breast cancer in women, as well as heart disease and blood vessels and arteries resulting from high blood cholesterol.

_ Fried chicken: is less serious than grilled meat, but it contains some harmful amines faster than fried fish 5 or 8 times. So, experts advise chicken and remove the outer skin layer of it because they contain large amounts of fat and unhealthy hormones.



- Vegetable oils: researchers maintain that the most dangerous type of fat that can be used by human food, are oils corn, sunflower, peanut, as well as margarine (margarine), which is more dangerous than margarine and animal causes the deaths of approximately 30 to 100 thousand people a year Because heart disease, high blood cholesterol, according to the statistics of the World Health Organization.

And risks of vegetable oils, says Jean Carper "The use of corn oil or sunflower in food may hinder the work of the cells and destroy them, and could cause cancer in her." The researchers attribute this risk to surpassing power of vegetable oils, especially extracted from corn to interact with oxygen outside, knowing that oxygen dissolves in fat faster 8 times of water solubility of what constitutes a "prong ion free" attacking hundreds of cells in the body and destroys them.

_ Hydrogenated oils: Experts warn of hydrogenated oils, which are exposed to high temperatures in use during frying or manufactured butter , alters the chemical structure of the fat is located and cause a number of diseases, most notably:

Clogged arteries and an increase in heart rate.
High rate of bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol.
Vulnerability and high free  in the body.
Increase the chances of chronic diseases (cancer, diabetes and respiratory diseases and nervous system).
Weakness of the body's ability to digest fat and disposal, leading to storage and weight gain.



Animal products: is a key component in the majority of daily diets, what is causing the failure in weight loss and difficult to get rid of it. These products are available animal eggs, red meat, poultry and dairy products (cream cheese). And describes recent research, published in the "Journal of American Health" to eat more animal products accelerates the appearance of signs of aging and increases the chances of developing cancer, and that eating meat every day represents a health risk due to it contains high levels of iron, which binds with cholesterol and thus becomes a catalyst for the free ion claw that attacks the body's cells and destroy them, leading to clots in the arteries, heart attacks and strokes. In addition to the above, saturated animal fats affect animal  butter on the body's hormones, causing breast cancer, colon and rheumatoid arthritis and clogged arteries, heart disease, stress and vulnerability.

Symptoms of eye cancer




Eye cancer is caused by the proliferation of cancer cells in the eye tissue. In most cases they are secondary cancers that spread through metastasis.There are two types of eye cancer: skin cancer and retina.Retinal affects mostly children under the age of five years, while skin cancer is more prevalent in adultsSymptoms of eye cancer- Gradual loss of sight- The presence of spots in the visual fieldRegular flashes- White reflection on eye- Milan eyes often meet at one pointIdentify tumorUsing functional magnetic resonance imaging to determine the presence of cancer of the eyes.The doctor may also conduct clinical examination of the eyes under anesthesia.And can also be blood tests recommended by your doctor.Lumbar puncture can be performed.Eye cancer: Risk Factors
The causes of eye cancer are still unknown so far.Most eye cancers in adults through the development of a malignant tumor.Genetic factors responsible for the retina in children.TreatmentCan be recommended laser treatment to remove small tumors.The icing can also be recommended in cases of small tumors.Can be performed chemotherapy to prevent the spread of cancer.The patient also may be subject to radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells.And this topic can also be removed cells that leads to the very advanced tumor

Eye Cancer



No eye cancer is a widespread disease. It may affect the outer part of the eye, such as the eyelids, which consists of the muscles, skin and nerves. If the cancer starts inside the eyeball called "eye cancer", and the most prevalent types of "eye cancers" when adults are "melanoma" and "lymphoma." The most common type in children is "tumor  networking" which begins in the cells of the retina. Cancer can also be transmitted to the eye from other infected areas in the body.

And treatment of eye cancers vary according to the type of cancer and the degree of development, and may include surgery and radiotherapy and freeze or heating and laser treatment.

Risk factors for breast cancer

Risk factors for breast cancer






 
Several factors may lead to breast cancer, these factors relate to heredity, environment or other diseases of the breast. The most important factors that may lead to breast cancer are:· Gender: Breast cancer affects women a hundred times more than men.· Generation: increasing risk of breast cancer with age, especially after the age of fifty.· Family history: increase the risk of developing breast cancer if they found cases of breast cancer in family members of the first class ( mother and sister).· Breast cancer in the other breast, increases the risk of breast cancer.· The presence of breast cancer in the past.
· Menarche before the age of twelve, because it increases the vulnerability of the tissue to estrogen.· Late menopause after the age of fifty-five, because it increases the exposure of breast tissue to estrogen.· Late birth: whenever the birth was delayed more exposure to estrogen.· The number of births little or no confinement: protect from breast cancer, so fewer births increased risk for breast cancer.· Obesity and excess weight.· Alcoholic beverages.· Hormone replacement therapies: that hormone therapy - especially estrogen - for the treatment of menopausal symptoms, for a period of more than ten years increases the risk of breast cancer.· Taking the pill for more than ten years.· Radiotherapy: radiotherapy of the chest - to treat another cancer in the chest often - increases the risk of breast cancer.· Genetic factors: Some genetic factors increase the risk of breast cancer. Studies have shown the presence of certain genes increase the risk of breast cancer, and these genes are also associated with ovarian cancer. The most important of these genes are BRCA1 & BRCA2.· Other factors increase the risk of breast cancer, but they are less important than the previous factors. Since women skin  risk for breast cancer than white skin. The women who live the city gestational more than women in rural areas.Many factors may lead to breast cancer, and the effect of different factors, and it may be confusing to some. So preferable to discuss risk factors with a specialist breast cancer.
