Cancer . . .?????????????????
do you have to have cemo for all types of cancer or are there somethat doesn't require it??
Also, what types of cancer are genetic and do both of your parents have to carry it for you to get it or does only one need to??

Please help me!
My mom had 2 types of cancer and I don't know if my father did or not because I do not know who he is.

Please help!
Please!!

Best answer:
Hi. that's a tough question...
what types of cancer your mom have ?
Its necessary to know the stage and type to say whats the treatment !!!

Many cancer types have genetic precedings but the majority its because - pollution, alcohol. tabacco, smoke, etc

The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

Cancer - click on the image below for more information.



The Emperor of All Maladies is a magnificent, profoundly humane "biography" of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist's precision, a historian's perspective, and a biographer's passion. The result is an astoni

IMRT, IGRT, VMAT: New Tools For Fighting Lung Cancer

 

There are 25 Lakh cancer patients in the country. Ten lakh new cases are detected annually and 4 lakh people lose there lives to cancer. Cancer is now the third biggest killer in our country. Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers inIndia. It is the most common cause of cancer related deaths in men and the second most common cause of death in women (after breast cancer). Lung cancer alone is responsible for 13 Lakh deaths worldwide annually.

Smoking, particularly of cigarettes, is by far the main contributor to lung cancer. Across the developed world, almost 90% of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking. Passive smoking can also lead to lung cancer.

- Gases emitted by industries & vehicles are carcinogenic.

 

- Arsenic, nickel, chromium.

 

Smoker's cough that persists or becomes intense.  
Increase in volume of sputum.  
Wheezing.  
Nonsmoker's cough that persists for more than 2 weeks.  
Change in color of sputum.  
Blood in sputum.

 

 

More than 90% of the lung cancer cases are due to active and passive smoking and hence preventable. The earlier one stops smoking, better it is.

Prevention is the most cost-effective means of fighting lung cancer. While in most countries, industrial and domestic carcinogens have been identified and banned, tobacco smoking is still widespread. Eliminating tobacco smoking is a primary goal in the prevention of lung cancer, and smoking cessation is an important preventative tool in this process, especially in the youth.

 

 

Chest x-ray is the most easily available and cheapest modality for diagnosis of lung cancer which will show the tumor in the lung or in the air passage.

CT scan is the most important modality because it not only shows the tumor but also gives information about the progression of the disease; whether the tumor is operable or not.
MRI and PET-CT may also help to know the progression of the tumor.

 

Treatment for lung cancer depends on the cancer's specific cell type, how far it has spread, and the patient's performance status. Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

 

Surgery is the main modality of treatment for early lung cancer. If investigations confirm lung cancer, CT scan and often positron emission tomography (PET) are used to determine whether the disease is localized and amenable to surgery or whether it has spread to the point where it cannot be cured surgically.

 

Radiotherapy is used with curative intent in patients with lung cancer who are not eligible for surgery. This form of high intensity radiotherapy is called Radical Radiotherapy. Chemotherapy may be added concurrently with Radiotherapy to increase the efficacy of cell kill.

 

Radiotherapy for lung cancer has undergone dramatic changes in the last decade. is being used to target Lung cancer for the last ten years. But as we all know, lungs move during respiration and so the tumor target may be missed during Radiotherapy. This problem has now been overcome with the new technique of delivering IMRT, which is called . In IGRT, a low dose KV CT Scan is done before treatment and the position of the patient is corrected in all three dimensions if there is any shift from the original position.

 

devices are also available with the help of which we target the tumor only during a specific phase of respiration so that the Radiation Beam hits the tumor more precisely and normal tissues are spared of unnecessary Radiation. This is also known as gated or 4D Radiotherapy.

 

Another major breakthrough in the treatment delivery of IMRT and IGRT is . VMAT is a highly advanced and sophisticated treatment planning system which is available at very few select centers worldwide. Treatment planning with VMAT is far more precise and normal tissues receive only a fraction of Radiation as compared to older techniques. Another major advantage is that with VMAT, the treatment time is reduced from 25 to 30 minutes to just 2 to 5 minutes. Treatment with VMAT is thus not only faster but also more accurate with minimal side effects.

 

 

Chemotherapy is an important aspect of treatment of lung cancer. Most lung cancer patients require chemotherapy. The latest development is the treatment of lung cancer includes targeted therapies. These "targeted" therapies hit specific targets which are present on cancer cells. Hence, these therapies are considered superior than conventional chemotherapies as they kill specifically the target bad cells and spare the good (normal) cells.

Cancer- My Chemical Romance

This video used to just be for people who knew someone that died from cancer and had almost no significance to me except that I knew people who knew people who died from cancer, but now this song/video has a whole new meaning for me and it is now for my best friend that died of cancer, and due to that any rude comments will NOT be tolerated and will be deleted. RIP Sean Just pics of MCR to the song Cancer from The Black Parade. (My First Video.) ------------------------------------------- K, I just want to say thank you to all of the people who are commenting and saying POSITIVE things, and to all the people who aren't, if you think they're emo and don't like them what are you doing watching this video, and devoting your time to bashing them, if you don't like them then are they worth your time?
Video Rating: 4 / 5
