Cancer



 
Is a group of diseases characterized by cells hostile e (which grow and divide without Borders), and the ability of these cells divided over the invasion of adjacent tissue and destroy it, or move to distant tissues in the process we call metastasis. These capabilities are the characteristics of a malignant tumor in contrast to adenoma, which is characterized by specific growth and the inability to invasion and has no ability to move or transmission. Can also be the development of adenoma to a malignant cancer in some cases.

Cancer that can affect all ages when human embryos up to, but it increases the risk of infection as people age.
[1] and cause of cancer death by 13% of all deaths.
[2] and the American Cancer Society suggests ACS to the death of 7.6 million people sick with cancer in the world in 2007
[3] also affects the forms of human cancer, which affects animals and plants alike.

Mostly, due to the transformation of healthy cells to cancerous cell changes in the genetic material / gene. These changes may cause carcinogenic factors such as smoking, or radiation or chemicals, or infectious diseases (Kalasabh viruses). There is also an encouraging factor for the occurrence of cancer, such as a random error or mutation in a DNA-DNA at cell division, or because of this error or inherited mutation of the mother cell.

Changes occur, or genetic mutations in two genes:

    Genes and tumor: a gene active in the case of the cancer cell to cell give new properties, such as excessive growth and division in abundance, and provide protection against Alastmath (programmed cell death), and help the cancer cell to grow in unusual circumstances.

    Of the tumor inhibitory genes: the genes being stopped in the case of the cancer cell because it is opposed to configured by correcting any errors in copying DNA, and monitor cell division, and working on a fusion of cells and lack of movement, it also helps the immune system to protect the fabric.

All are classified as a type of cancer that arises from tissue cancer (cancer location) and the nearest cell similar to the intact cell cancer (cancer histology). Determine a final diagnosis of the situation affected by examining the specialist pathology or biopsy sample taken from the tumor, although the possibility of the onset of symptoms of the malignant tumor or by X-ray vision.

At the moment is processed most cancers may be cured, and this depends on the type of cancer, its location, and stage. When cancer is detected, begin treatment with surgery or chemotherapy and radiation. Thanks to developments in research, it was possible the production of drugs able to target cancer cells distinguish them at the molecular level, which reduces the likelihood of target cells.

Control symptoms

Often control the symptoms of cancer is feasible to treat the cancer itself, but it is very important to improve the quality of life of the patient, may also determine if the patient can be engaged in other types of treatments. Despite the presence of experience of the doctors to heal the pain and symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding and other symptoms, but it has emerged a new type of specialization in the treatment of housing Palliative Care to the patient. Give medications include morphine, oxycodone, anti-vomiting.

Improvement of chronic pain patients because of the destruction of the evolution of cancer of the tissue or because of the treatment used (surgery or radiation or drugs). They often show near the end of the patient's life. It must then rest the patient and relieve pain Palmorvinat. Hates specialists provide cancer patients with narcotics for fear of addiction or a patient has stopped breathing for the patient.

Shows fatigue as a problem predominantly in patients with cancer, which affects the quality of life of the patient. Recently, this offer is treated by doctors.
