World Cancer Day

On February 7th we remembering as a World cancer day. Why cancer remembering, even need to be made a day apart? This is not apart from the role of the death of human cancer, cancer is the second cause of death after heart disease and blood vessel. As a warning-a warning the other day, of course there is the message you want delivered in a warning this time, sparing me the warning this week of cancer should be able to increase our knowledge and awareness of the dangers of cancer and how efforts to prevent the occurrence of cancer as early as possible. For any posts that this cancer will be covered, the causes, how mendiagnosisnya, and treated the most important of early prevention efforts. What is cancer? Cancer is a term for any type of tumor called malignant. Tumor growth itself is abnormal network, where the growth is in excess and not coordinated with the normal network, this growth is settled even though the factors that stimulate the growth of yesteryear is gone. Include tumor benign tumor and malignant tumor. Unlike the benign tumor, malignant tumor consists of cells that are anaplastik . Characteristics of this cancer is cancer cells are able menginvasi network is healthy and can be spread around the body to another through the system limfe (limfogen), blood vessel (hematogen), and serosa layer (transcoelomic spread) and grown as tumor Metastasis. Liver, lungs, bone, brain, adrenal gland and is the organ where Metastasis is most often through the hematogen. The cause of cancer? The causes of cancer are not known, because the cancer is a disease caused by many factors (multifaktor) and through a long process (multistep). But it can be said there is interaction between internal factors (genetic) and external factors. Internal factors: the genes-genes that are found in increasing the risk of someone suffering from cancer for BRCA1 increase risks such as breast cancer and ovarium, or BRCA2 increase the risk of breast cancer, etc.. Gen-gen affect the DNA repair process, or affect the growth and cell death External factors: the factors from outside which can cause damage to DNA, among others:
Diet: Diet low fiber and high animal fat (red meat) significantly increase the risk of colon cancer. Diet high in fat and calories during children payudara.Rokok increase cancer risk associated with some increase in cancer among other paru cancer, esophagus cancer, bladder cancer, uterus neck cancer, stomach cancer, and lip cancer.
Virus: some viruses associated with the occurrence of cancer, such as Hepatitis C virus with liver cancer, with HPV uterus neck cancer, etc. The bacteria Helicobacter pylori bacteria are often found in stomach cancer associated with stomach and small intestine.
Radiation: ionization radiation from ultraviolet sun rays, nuclear radiation, and X rays associated with skin cancer, and cancer leukimia thyroid gland.
Chemicals: Vinyl chloride related to Liver cancer, Arsenic tuberculosis associated with cancer, Benzidine associated with bladder cancer, etc.

Diagnosis?

Dignosis aimed to find the primary cancer and also the spread of the cancer itself (Metastasis). Diagnostic tool itself melipurti inspection Radiology (X-rays, mammography, CT scan, MRI, USG, SPECT, and PET); Pathology examination (tumor Marker, sitologi, or biopsy); endoscopy examination. -Examination of the examination can be determined from the stadium cancer patients. Determining the stadium is important because the therapy will be given. Stadium for the determination of the solid cancer (solid) in the general classification of the TNM system (tumor, node, Metastasis). Treatment? Medicine in general is highly dependent of the stadium from the cancer itself. Conventional therapy that is usually used to take the cancer surgery, and continued with the radiotherapi and khemoterapi to kill cancer cells that are still left behind or that have spread to other organs (Metastasis). Alternative methods of treatment at the time this is in the process of research and clinical testing include immunotherapy, gene therapy, and currently is ngetrend use of human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) and human induced pluripotent stem cell (HIPS) as a cancer therapy, such as some leukimia and glioblastoma. Early prevention? Changing life style or life style is one of the preventive steps that can be done as an external factor causes more cancer-related lifestyle seseorang.Mengkonsumsi food satur such as high-fiber vegetables and fruits, reduce the consumption of animal fat, especially red meat such as beef and goat, avoid smoking, drinking alcohol is not some lifestyle modifications that can be done.
Early detection of the possibility of cancer, such as pap smear for the uterus neck cancer, aware (check your own breasts) for breast cancer, always take urine and feces for cancer or bladder cancer lines digested some of the action is early detection that can be done. The cancer is found early in the stadium means the higher the likelihood of early recovery.
Finally, the happy world of cancer, hopefully the more we raise awareness of the dangers of cancer.
