Signs and symptoms of brain tumors

Signs and symptoms of brain tumors


Tumors in the brain can be detrimental to nerve cells and destroy them and thereby lead to neurological symptoms. The tumors lead to inflammation in the brain, increases the pressure on the brain cells or increase the pressure inside the skull. All of these things lead to symptoms.
Cases may be asymptomatic brain tumors, and that if the tumors are too small or they grew slowly. Some tumors grow quickly and thus lead to severe symptoms and prominent, and others of brain tumors grow slowly and lead to chronic symptoms.
Related symptoms of brain tumors the size of the tumor, its location, the inflammation and swelling surrounding the tumor and the spread of the tumor. The most prominent symptoms are:
· Headache: getting worse headache when you rise in the morning or when coughing, bending forward, and hide during the day.
Nausea and vomiting, and often have a companion to head pain.
· Seizures (Seizures).
· Blurred vision: It may be easing vision, double vision or complete loss of vision.
· Weakness in parts of the body: It may be weakness in the muscles of the face, or hand or leg muscles. Often unilateral weakness.
· Tingling or loss of feeling in some parts of the body, and are often on one side of the body, and may involve the face, hands or legs.
· Personal change, mood or behavior and behavior: where the patient may become more severe or violent, or be depressed.
• change the degree of awareness.
· Hearing impairment has been exacerbated for complete hearing loss.
· Loss of sense of smell or taste.
· Confusion.
· Memory loss.
· Loss of balance.
· Loss of coordination between the parties.
· Difficulty in walking.
· Problems in word or characters in the understanding of others.

Symptoms and diagnosis of thyroid cancer

Symptoms of thyroid cancer


The thyroid cancer originating from follicular cells does not produce hormones in the vast majority of cases, so do not expect the presence of symptoms of hyper thyroid. Symptoms stem from thyroid include:

Swelling in the neck: the most common symptom.
Hoarseness in voice.
Difficulty in breathing: because of the pressure on the trachea.
Difficulty in swallowing: because of the pressure on the esophagus.
Pain in the neck or ears.

Diagnosed with thyroid cancer


The presence or absence of symptoms, diagnosis of thyroid cancer begins physical examination, where the doctor can be sensitive to the tuber in the gland. Then you can send the patient to work ultrasonic examination or class picture of the neck to see the building better gland and examine the presence of tubers.

In the case of a tuber, especially if they do not secrete hormones doctor may recommend taking a sample by a fine needle  An examination easy being in the clinic. The sample gives accurate diagnosis of cancer and its kind.

If the doctor suspects that the cancer of Marrow type may examine the hormone calcitonin in the blood, it is expected to be high.

In addition, the patient is asked to do more tests to find Metastasis in the body, such as:

Image radioactive iodine: to search for thyroid tissue in the body, these cells pick up iodine.
Chest: pulmonary .
CT or blood tests for the liver.
Bone scan (Bone scan): to of  bone.

Risk factors transitional cell carcinoma

Risk factors transitional cell carcinoma


Several factors lead to transitional cell carcinoma, and may be environmental factors, genetic or disease in the urinary tract. Doctors think that the vulnerability of transitional cell to toxic substances excreted in the urine, is the key factor for transitional cell carcinoma. The most important risk factors are:

    Generation: after the age of forty, increasing the possibilities for transitional cell cancer.
    Gender: As mentioned, the transitional cell cancer affects males more than women.
    Smoking: The most important factor.
    Exposure to toxic substances at work: in the case of working with paint, metal, rubber, leather, cement, carpets and many other others.
    Hair dyes: toxic substances may be present in hair dyes and exposure to them at work and constantly, increasing the likelihood of transitional cell cancer. Exposure to hair dyes to face temporary and does not increase the risk of transitional cell cancer.
    Lack of drinking water: drinking water and small amounts are insufficient leads to the accumulation of toxic substances in the urine and increases the likelihood of transitional cell cancer. Maintain a sufficient amount of water over water in the urine, and leads to mixing of toxic substances and mix it with water, leading to exit quickly from the urinary tract and thus less damage.
    Aristolochic acid: a type of material in the mix Chinese herbs.
    Chronic inflammation of the bladder.
    The presence of transitional cell cancer in another part of the urinary tract, increases the risk of renal cell cancer in other parts.
    Radiology: exposure to radiation during medical treatment, or when imaging testing increases the likelihood of developing renal cell carcinoma, especially in the bladder.
    Cyclophosphamide : is a drug used in chemotherapy to treat tumors, and may lead to inflammation of the bladder. The use constantly increases the likelihood of transitional cell cancer, especially in the bladder. Mensa  is prevent material damage Cyclophosphamide and reduce the likelihood of transitional cell carcinoma, so intakes advised when dealing with Cyclophosphamide.
     Genetic factors are also responsible for transitional cell cancer.

TCC-Transitional Cell Carcinoma

TCC-Transitional Cell Carcinoma
Transitional cell carcinoma is a cancer arising from the transitional cells, which line the urinary tract cavity. Members of the urinary tract are:

    Renal pelvis : transitional cell start of the renal pelvis, which is the part that begins next kidneys, where urine secretion gather.
    Ureter : apply urine to pass in the ureter, a member of an accurate and long connecting the kidneys and bladder, and line the transitional cell Bgeoffh.
    Bladder : move to the bladder where urine collects and secreted into the urethra.
    Urethra : the tube that connects the bladder and the outside world is secretion of urine out of the body. The lining of the bladder and urethra transitional cell too.
Because transitional cells lining the urinary tract, the transitional cell cancer may appear in any member of the urinary tract. Although the transitional cell cancer may appear in the kidney, but that 5% of the cases is to be in the kidneys. While the remaining cases are in the ureter, bladder or urethra, especially in the bladder. Most cases of transitional cell carcinoma are in the bladder. May appear several transitional cell carcinoma tumors contrast, several members of the transitional cell carries. A transitional cell carcinoma 90% of bladder cancer.
Does not constitute a transitional cell carcinoma leading cause of death, and can be treated in most cases. But transitional cell carcinoma may appear several times in the patient even after treatment.
Transitional cell cancer affects men more than women, and affects the elderly sixty after generation. The transitional cell cancer of the skin more eggs than others.

The causes and risk factors for cancer of the large intestine

The causes and risk factors for cancer of the large intestine
Many environmental and genetic factors may increase the risk of cancer of the large intestine, and the many diseases may increase the risk of cancer of the large intestine. The most important factors are:



    Age: cancer affects the large intestine older, especially after the age of fifty, it is rare to happen before that, except in certain cases where there are genetic diseases.
    Family history: wounded relatives in the family, cancer of the large intestine, especially first-degree relative (ie, parents, brothers and sisters), increases the risk of cancer of the large intestine. The injured a relative of the family cancer of the large intestine before the age of 55 than most of the risk of injury.
    Cancer of the large intestine in the past increases the likelihood of injury again.
    The presence of polyps (Polyps) in the intestine: polyps are benign tumors grow from mucosal tissue abnormally, and take the form of football and highlights within the intestinal cavity. Some polyps increase the likelihood of cancer of the large intestine if any, but it regard Bnoaha, number and size. It also found polyps in patients with cancer of the large intestine at diagnosis.
    Smoking.
    Nutrition: rich Baldehnaat, canned food and red meat increase the risk of cancer of the large intestine. While fruits and vegetables protect against cancer of the large intestine.
    Obesity.
    Lack of physical activity.
    Rays.
    
    Genetic diseases: there are genetic diseases lead to cancer of the large intestine, including:
Polyposis coli (FAP-Familial adenomatous polyposis), a hereditary disease that leads to the presence of hundreds and thousands of polyps in the colon, where patients develop cancer of the large intestine is always at the age of forty. In all cases there is a family history indicates the disease, so it is important to follow up on these cases since childhood and colectomy to avoid colon cancer.
Lynch syndrome (HNPCC / Lynch Syndrome): Another hereditary disease increases the risk of cancer of the large intestine. Although it is more common than polyposis coli, but it is still very rare among people. Cancer affects the large intestine Lynch syndrome patients after the age of fifty or smaller. In addition to cancer of the large intestine, the syndrome increases the risk of developing other types of cancer such as cancer of the uterus, ovary, kidney, and bladder

The causes and risk factors for pancreatic cancer

The causes and risk factors for pancreatic cancer
 Several factors lead to damage to the cells in the pancreas, leading to cancerous mutations cause pancreatic cancer. The most important factors and causes of pancreatic cancer are:

    Smoking.
    Alcoholic beverages, especially if they drank heavily and addiction.
    Generation: as the generation progresses the greater the likelihood of pancreatic cancer.
    Nutrition: Nutrition effect on the pancreas, where the nutrition that lack of fiber and saturated fats increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
    Obesity.
    Chronic pancreatitis: Chronic pancreatitis ongoing damage to cells in the pancreas and increases the risk of pancreatic cancer.
    Diabetes: There is a relationship between diabetes and pancreatic cancer, but so far I do not know if what diabetes was the cause of pancreatic cancer or is it a result of it.
    Industrial Materials: most notably substances found in some hair dyes  .
    Genetic factors: I do not know what is the exact genetic factors, but wounding one of pancreatic cancer increases the risk of first-degree relatives (brother, sister, children and parents).
    Genetic diseases and syndromes many increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, if a person is infected. But these diseases and syndromes are uncommon. Including:
Von Hippel-Lindau Disease
Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome

Gardner syndrome (Gardner Syndrome).And others

Risk factors for prostate cancer

Risk factors for prostate cancer
Generation: All men are vulnerable to prostate cancer, but rarely may occur before the age of fifty.
Ethnicity: race plays a role in prostate cancer, but sideways. Since prostate cancer is prevalent in the West than East countries, especially among black skin.
Nutrition: Nutrition importance in an increased risk of prostate cancer, where that filled fats nutrition and paragraph vegetables and fiber increase the risk of prostate cancer.
Family history: the presence of prostate cancer in the family of first-class ( brother or father), increases the risk of prostate cancer. Studies suggest that 5-10% of prostate cancer cases are family.
Male hormones -Testosterone: is the most important factor for the proliferation of prostate cells, and without it he can not cancer that originates. It means that men who do not secrete a hormone or other reasons (testicular eradication for example) do not develop prostate cancer.
