| Broccoli Fights Cancer - Study Shows How | | 2008-07-02 08:34:00 | | Research continues to show how eating real food prevents all kinds of disease, namely cancers. Now the first Human trial shows men who eat broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables have a reduced risk of prostate cancer - with broccoli having the greatest protection. Read the story on Reuters:LONDON (Reuters) - Just a few more portions of broccoli each week may protect men from prostate cancer, British researchers reported on Wednesday.The researchers believe a chemical in the food sparks hundreds of genetic changes, activating some genes that fight cancer and switching off others that fuel tumors, said Richard Mithen, a biologist at Britain's Institute of Food Research.There is plenty of evidence linking a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables to reduced cancer risk. But the study published in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS One is the first human trial investigating the potential biological mechanism at work, Mithen added in a telephone interview."Everybody says eat y | | By: Whole Food And More | | |

| | Colon Cancer Statistics | | 2008-06-30 14:49:00 | | Colon cancer is one of the most feared types of cancer by both men and women. The reason is that colon cancer is now fourth on the most known cancer list in many countries around the world. It is also known to be the second most common cause of death in countries like the United State of America. So, I belive these are some pretty good reasons to fear colon cancer, am I right?If you belive that these are not good enough reasons to fear colon cancer, then here are some more statistics about this type of cancer. A person that has reached the age of fifty has almost five percent risk of being diagnosed with colon cancer. Furthermore, people at this age have also a three percent risk of dying from colon cancer. If these statistics about colon cancer still do not worry you, then you should also know that a person that dies from colon cancer looses almost thirteen years of his/ her life, which is a pretty big number if you ask me.Moreover, statistics say that more than eight percent of all c | | By: How to Detect Cancer | | |

| | What Puts You At Risk Of Developing Colon Cancer? | | 2008-06-28 14:46:00 | | There are several known factors that increase the risk of a person developing colon cancer. These factors can be split into two categories: the ones that you can have control over and the second category those that you have no control over.What you eat can make a difference in developing colon cancer. As you can see, this is a factor that we have some control over. Studies have shown that eating fat or fatty foods increases the risk of developing colon cancer. Furthermore, if your diet does not contain the necessary amount of fiber, then you are at risk of developing colon cancer as well. So, believe it or not, diet is a factor when talking about colon cancer. You should try to avoid those foods that have a lot of fat in them, although I know they are so tasty. If you care about your health and also want to lower the risk of colon cancer, you will!Environment is also another risk factor for colon cancer. You can say that this factor is somewhere between those two categories. Studies ha | | By: How to Detect Cancer | | |

I don't eat much meat anymore but when I did, it had to be burned. I couldn't stand to see any pink and thought well-done was the safest, no e-coli etc. Little I knew about cooking meat - now I know the higher heat and "burning it to well-done" releases cancer causing chemicals! I've never been a big meat eater - never liked it - rarely cook it - so I have an excuse for not knowing "well-done" is bad. Also find Greener Grilling Help in this post.How do you like your steak or burger?Research has shown that cooking certain meats at high temperatures creates chemicals that are not present in uncooked meats. A few of these chemicals may increase cancer risk. For example, heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are the carcinogenic chemicals formed from the cooking of muscle meats such as beef, pork, fowl, and fish.

Varmus, president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, earned his Nobel Prize for discovering retroviral oncogenes that can cause cancer. That work changed the way people thought about cancer: Rather than being a disease caused by environmental exposure, it could result from mutations in specific genes. Now, much cancer research and the search for therapeutics focus on genetic changes in cancer.

| | Symptoms Of Breast Cancer? | | 2008-06-26 14:46:00 | | Breast cancer is a malignant (cancerous) growth that begins in the tissues of the breast. Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells grow in an uncontrolled way. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, but it can also appear in men. In the U.S., it affects one in eight women.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. For whatever reason, the number of cases has increased in the last 30 years. Ductal carcinoma starts at the cells lining the milk ducts and makes up more than 75% of breast cancer. Lobular carcinoma begins in the milk secreting glands. Many women want to know what the risk factors and symptoms of breast cancer are so they can catch it in the early stages.
Symptoms breast cancer
Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain. In fact, when breast cancer first develops, there may be no symptoms at all. But as the cancer grows, it can cause changes that women should watch for:

La primera vacuna terapéutica para el tratamiento del cáncer de pulmón avanzado fue registrada en Cuba y es la única inscrita en el mundo para ese tipo de tumor maligno, reporta la Agencia de Información Nacional.
Con el nombre de CIMAVAX EGF, el inmunógeno es de probada eficacia e incrementa la sobrevida y la calidad de los pacientes con esa enfermedad, dijo la doctora en Ciencias Biológicas Gisela González, gerente del proyecto.
La especialista explicó a la prensa que este fue desarrollado en el Centro de Inmunología Molecular (CIM), una de las instituciones insignias del Polo Científico de la capital del país.
El primer ensayo clínico se inició en Cuba en 1995 y agrupó a más de 400 enfermos con cáncer avanzado de pulmón, quienes recibieron, anteriormente, el tratamiento convencional con quimioterapia o radioterapia, enfatizó.

| | Detecting Breast Cancer | | 2008-06-23 14:45:00 | | Self examination of the breasts is important in detecting cancer. More than 90 percent of breast tumors are found this way. Physical examination by a doctor and other diagnostic tests can establish whether the tumor is cancerous or not. With early detection and treatment, you have a better chance of beating the disease.
"A breast tumor itself is not lethal. The disease kills by metastasizing - that is, by spreading through the lymph system of the bloodstream to other parts of the body. Thus, if breast cancer is caught early, while the tumor is small and before malignant cells have spread to neighboring lymph nodes, there is about a 90 percent chance of a cure," according to Dr. David E. Larson, editor-in-chief of the “Mayo Clinic Family Health Book.”
Unfortunately, in half of cases, the breast cancer has already spread, making treatment impossible. A study made by the University of the Philippines College of Medicine - Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) show that 75 percent of | | By: How to Detect Cancer | | |

| | Breast Cancer Myths | | 2008-06-21 14:44:00 | | Because breast cancer is such a mysterious disease, there are many misconceptions about it. Many women assume, for instance, that a blow or any injury to the breast will lead to cancer. Fondling the breast is also said to encourage the growth of cancer and not a few couples have quarreled because of this. Neither of these beliefs is true.No mater how badly bruised the breast is, you won't develop breast cancer unless you belong to the high-risk group which we discussed in the previous article. Nor does breast cancer result from touching or fondling the breast."It's purely coincidental that a woman whose breast was injured would report having cancer at the same time. Most likely, the tumor was already there before the breast was injured and it was only after the accident that attention was drawn to the existing cancer," explained Dr. Corazon A.

| | Signs Of Breast Cancer | | 2008-06-15 14:42:00 | | Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women and the leading cause of cancer deaths.Every woman's breasts are different so it is important for each individual woman to be familiar with her breasts in order to recognize any peculiarities.Unfortunately, the early stages of breast cancer may not have any symptoms. This is why it is important to follow screening recommendations. As a tumor grows in size, it can produce a variety of symptoms including:* lump or thickening in the breast or underarm * change in size or shape of the breast * nipple discharge or nipple turning inward * redness or scaling of the skin or nipple * ridges or pitting of the breast skinIf you experience these symptoms, it doesn't necessarily mean you have breast cancer, but you need to be examined by a doctor.Breast cancer is very rare before age 20 and is rarely diagnosed in women younger than age 25.

| | Targets for Cancer, Crohn's disease, ALS | | 2008-06-14 07:34:00 | | Cancer (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display the traits of uncontrolled growth (growth and division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not.Cancer may affect people at all ages, even fetuses, but risk for the more common varieties tends to increase with age. Cancer causes about 13% of all deaths. According to the American Cancer Society, 7.6 million people died from cancer in the world during 2007.

| | Know The Symptoms Of Breast Cancer | | 2008-06-13 14:41:00 | | A number of conditions other than breast cancer can cause your breasts to change in size or feel. Breast tissue changes naturally during pregnancy and your menstrual cycle. Other possible causes of no cancerous (benign) breast changes include fibrocystic changes, cysts, fibro adenomas, infection or injury.Change in the size, shape, or feel of the breast or nipple -- for example, you may have redness, dimpling, or puckering that looks like the skin of an orange. Fluid coming from the nipple -- may be bloody, clear-to-yellow, or green, and look like pus.Breast self-exam should be part of your monthly health care routine, and you should visit your doctor if you experience breast changes. If you're over 40 or at a high risk for the disease, you should also have an annual mammogram and physical exam by a doctor.

The question should be are you getting enough of the right ones to prevent cancer. The National Cancer Institute says about one third of all cancers are linked to diet. Here's the first post about cancer and foods.Let's look at how food can help save you from cancer. Full-fledged cancer is a long time happening. That means you have years in which to literally starve or feed potential cancer. Two to three decades are typical and four to five decades not unusual from the time a single cell suffers genetic changes until a tumor appears.What you eat may interfere with that cancer process at many stages. Wandering cancer cells need the right conditions in which to attach and grow. Food agents can foster a hostile or a favorable environment.

Given these medicinal constituents, then it won't be difficult to think of flax seed as a powerful agent against breast cancer. Millions of women from around the world-particularly those in the postmenopausal stage, are inflicted with breast cancer and while a fully determined cure is still unavailable, flax seed supplementation is what medical researchers are hoping to be an effective prevention against this deadly disease.The grain's anti-cancerous property is mostly attributed to its high-lignan content, where flax seed is regarded as the chief source of lignans among various plant species.

Potter, M.D., of the University of Minnesota. *Food compounds can prevent agents from being "activated." They can block the mutation of cell's DNA. *They can stimulate enzymes in the body that flush cancer-causing chemicals out of the body.*They can prevent cancer-causing oncogenes from being switched on.*They can combat bacteria related to stomach cancer.*They can even help prevent cancer cells from spreading.Next post will show major foods with anticancer activity.S | | By: Whole Food And More | | |
| | Cancer Survivors - Recovery Is Dependent On Avoiding These 6 Common Mistakes | | 2008-06-04 06:19:00 | | Cancer survivors have gone through a lot of allopathic treatments, many of them involving drug therapy. It is very easy for a cancer survivor to display impaired judgment and have difficulties in making the right decision, due to the increased levels of toxins in one's tissues as well as the brain.The important realization a cancer patient should have is that their goal is to reach a new level of health now, not necessary mimicking the old one(that got them in trouble in the first place..).Realizing health can occur in different stages, that health is a state of balance will help them to get into the right state of mind.Usually, a disease occur as a way to bring one onto a more balance state.For this new level of health to happen, the cancer survivor must undergo certain changes.

| | Mobile-Cancer Debate | | 2008-06-04 01:00:57 | | What do brain surgeons know about cellphone safety that the rest of us don't? Last week, neurosurgeons told CNN that they did not hold cellphones next to their ears. "I think the safe practice," said Dr. Keith Black, a surgeon in Los Angeles, "is to use an earpiece so you keep the microwave antenna away from your brain." Dr. Vini Khurana, an associate professor of neurosurgery at the Australian National University, said: "I use it on the speaker-phone mode. I do not hold it to my ear." And CNN's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon at Emory University Hospital, said that like Dr. Black he used an earpiece.Along with Senator Edward M. Kennedy's recent diagnosis of a glioma, a type of tumor that critics have long associated with cellphone use, the doctors' remarks have helped reignite a long-simmering debate about cellphones and cancer.That supposed link has been largely dismissed by many experts, including the American Cancer Society.

| | The Foods That We Eat Can Fight Cancer | | 2008-06-03 09:16:00 | | Cancer is a deadly disease and it is now increasingly being realized that what we eat can cause and prevent cancer. When we overload our body with everything that is artificial - fried foods, fast foods, processed meat, packaged food, preservatives, chemicals etc. it causes huge strain in our body. There are already enough carcinogens in the atmospheres in the form of petroleum products emission, chemicals, tobacco etc. apart from natural metabolism and aging process. This is in addition to the genetic predisposition to cancer. This means that we are sitting on a cancer time bomb.We know now that diet is prob¬ably the biggest single influence on cancer. We have thousands of medical studies that support this conclusion. When we eat natural foods like broccoli, cabbage, carrots tomatoes, soy foods, fish oils, olives, onions, apples, garlic, mushrooms, ginseng, ginger, vitamins, minerals, cereal grasses, cups of green tea and a few other foods we are doing a great favor to our body.

| | Can Milk Thistle Prevent Liver Cancer? | | 2008-05-31 12:51:00 | | Toxic substances surround us every day, in our food, water, medications, and especially the air we breathe. These toxins are extremely detrimental to the health of your liver, and your choice of liver support supplements can drastically affect this very important organ. Milk thistle has long been known for its liver supportive and protective qualities, and is the number one herbal supplement prescribed for most liver ailments. It has proven in various clinical studies to have a profound effect on the progression of fibrosis, and has been quite effective in slowing the rate of advancement of liver damage.Most people are aware of the stages of liver disease: inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver failure. If not treated in the early stages, liver cancer (Hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC) can develop. Milk thistle has been proven to help protect liver cells against further damage from harmful toxins, which speed up the progression of the above stages of liver disease.

| | | | Does The Acai Berry Destroy Cancer Cells In Humans? | | 2008-05-29 12:43:00 | | Hundreds of years ago when the Europeans made contact with the new world in the Amazon region, certain indigenous plants became extinct shortly after their arrival due to the lack of resistance to diseases brought over from Europe. Some of the trees that did survive were palm trees that produce the acai berry twice a year.Why did these trees fair so well?This fruit is remarkably rich in a wide range of nutrients and trace elements. The acai palm could also survive when standing submerged in water for up to a year. It is this ability to resist disease and survive that is also passed on to those who consume its fruit. So rich in nutrients are the acai fruit that people could survive on it alone for up to six months before showing signs of malnutrition.One reason so little was known about the acai berries until a few years ago is that they are highly perishable and normally used immediately after picking. They are now freeze dried and converted into acai powder. Products such as acai juic | | By: To atoid the cancer | | |
| | | Brain Cancer - Symptoms of Brain Cancer | | 2008-05-29 00:41:00 | | Brain cancer is a disease of the brain where cancer cells (malignant) grow in the brain tissue. Cancer cells grow to form a mass of cancer tissue (tumor) that interferes with brain tissue functions such as muscle control, sensation, memory, and other normal body functions. Tumors composed of cancer cells are called malignant tumors, and those composed of noncancerous cells are called benign tumors. Cancer cells that develop from brain tissue are called primary brain tumors. Statistics suggest that brain cancer is not rare and is likely to develop in about 20,000 people per year.There are two main types of brain cancer. Primary brain cancer starts in the brain. Metastatic brain cancer starts somewhere else in the body and moves to the brain. Brain tumors can be benign, with no cancer cells, or malignant, with cancer cells that grow quickly.Primary brain cancer rarely spreads beyond the central nervous system, and death results from uncontrolled tumor growth within the limited space of t | | By: To atoid the cancer | | |

| | | Top Five Tips To Avoid Cancer | | 2008-05-27 12:38:00 | | Cancer is a reality that can affect any one of us. Sometimes the effect will be direct and we will be diagnosed with a form of cancer ourselves, other times it will be someone we know and love. However it is quite possible to reduce the risk of suffering from cancer. Here are the top five tips.Tip 1: Educate YourselfThe fact you are reading this indicates that you are already doing this. You need to educate yourself not only about the different types of cancer, but also about the methods of early detection that can alert you to a cancerous growth before it has grown or spread too far. The earlier you find cancer, the easier it is to treat and the more likely the treatment is to be successful.Tip 2: Protect Yourself In The SunWearing a shirt and hat can save your life. Don't believe me? Skin cancer is between two and three times more likely to result in people who have been sunburnt and blistered. Sunburn hurts at the time, so you want to avoid it for the immediate benefit, but the long | | By: To atoid the cancer | | |

He did a bit of waving and smiling at well-wishers along the trek. "Teddy," as he's often referred to, will be resting up in his Cape Cod home. Doctors meanwhile, will continue to run tests to determine the best course of treatment to deal with the malignant glioma he's developed.Myself being a Conservative Republican, (as if you wouldn't know already by reading just about any article I've written to date,) consider Mr. Kennedy to be the bane of what makes America a great country.

| | Do you know why exercise may protect girls from future breast cancer? | | 2008-05-19 09:33:55 | | Prof. Know Why answers for your general knowledge and awareness on why exercise may protect girls from future breast cancer: We are all aware of the fact that exercise is good for health. And middle-aged women have long been advised to get active to lower their risk of breast cancer after menopause. But, starting young, pays off, too. A new research shows, exercise during the teen years — starting as young as age 12 — can help protect girls from breast cancer when they're grown. Dr. Graham Colditz of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, the study's lead author, points out that the benefit of sustained physical activity from adolescence through the adult years, gets the maximum benefit. Researchers tracked nearly 65,000 nurses, ages ranging from 24 to 42 who enrolled in a major health study. They answered detailed questionnaires about their physical activity dating back to age 12.

| | Breast Cancer Symptoms | | 2008-05-18 11:28:02 | | Breast cancer symptoms can be experienced by men as well as women but breast cancer is very rare in men compared to women. More than 1 in 10 women are likely to suffer from breast cancer symptoms, and be diagnosed with breast cancer, in a lifetime. Breast cancer symptoms can be detected when a lump, tumor, or cyst grows large enough to either be felt or seen on a mammogram. Sometimes a tumor isn't found for many years. Breast cancer symptoms don't often manifest themselves until the cancer is already in its later stages of growth, and may have already metastasized to other more vital areas of the body. That is why it is so important for women to regularly get checked. Breast cancer symptoms are often subtle, and self discovery can be elusive. Due to the high incidence of breast cancer among older women, screening is now recommended in many countries. Lumps or masses in the breast are not unusual, and most of them are not cancerous. Some breast masses can be felt during a breast exam. L | | By: Health Care Guide | | |
