NASOPHARYNX CANCER - WHAT IS CANCER NASOPHARYNX ?

Illustration of Nasopharynx cancer

NASOPHARYNX CANCER - WHAT IS CANCER NASOPHARYNX ? Do you often suffer nosebleeds or smell No odor from your nose ? Do not consider trivial these symptoms, because it could be an early symptom of cancer Nasopharynx. The nasopharynx is the channel which lies between the nasal cavity and oral cavity and esophagus. On this location can occur harm full. The symptoms, stadium, cause, and treatments of liver cancer.

Nasopharynx cancer is a malignancy that originates in the nasopharynx, the upper throat area, in back of the nose (see image). Nasopharing difficult to detect cancer early. This is due to the difficult nature of the tumor visible or palpable and symptoms that arise can resemble symptoms of other diseases. Therefore patients often come at the condition already advanced. The early stages of the disease may not cause any symptoms. However, some of these symptoms to look out for nasopharynx cancer early sign is, among other things :

• Nosebleeds nasal blockages or light
• Ear ringing or buzzing, discomfort in the ear until the pain
• Headaches, pain in the neck and face (trigeminal neuralgia), double vision, blurred vision (monocular).
• If there is a swelling of the glands in the neck area, this is an indication that the tumor has already spread.

The cause of cancer of the nasopharynx to date is not yet known for certain, but some risk factors thought to be as a cause, among other things :

1. Eating salty foods

In many cases in China, from some studies linked the occurrence of cases of cancer of the nasopharynx with the habit of eating salted fish, or cook a certain seasoning and food that is too hot.

2. Virus

Epstein-Barr Virus generally cause mild symptoms such as flu. This Virus is associated with some cases cancers including nasopharynx cancer.

3. The Descent

In families with a history of developing cancer of the nasopharynx cancer-especially-of the possibility of getting cancer nasopharynx than that do not have a family history of cancer.

At the time of the visit to the hospital, the doctor will ask you a few things related to risk factors and do some physical examinations and complementary. If the suspected occurrence of cancer, doctors will begin to using an endoscope to see abnormal nasopharing. In its use required a local anesthetic. After that, taken biopsy (sample) were then tested whether the cancer.

Then the doctor will determine the stage of cancer that way :

• MRI (helps see the cancer spread around head)
• CT scan (see widespread cancer in bones)
• Taking the biopsy: this is used to see the cancer in the lymph nodes.
• X-ray (see cancers that spread to the lungs)
• This examination can be done in a couple of times

When the results of examination of nasopharynx cancer diagnosis, enforced then it surely would have done the appropriate therapy with the degree of malignancy of cancer.

Some sort of treatment for sufferers of nasopharing carsinoma, among others :

1. Radiation therapy

This therapy can damage the cells rapidly growing cancer cells. The therapy was performed for 5-7 weeks. This therapy used for cancer at early stages. The side effects of this therapy are: the mouth feels dry, this therapy hearing loss and increase the risk of the incidence of cancer of the tongue and bone cancer.

2. Chemotherapy

Is the therapy with the use of medicines. This therapy works by way of the reduction of cancer cells There is, however, sometimes the healthy cells (not cancer) were also reduced. The side effects of this therapy are : hair loss, nausea, weakness (such as loss of power). Side effects arising Depending on the type of drugs that are given.

3. The Surgery

The goal of this surgery is to take the lymph nodes have been affected by cancer. Next control in patients who have successfully undergone the treatment should also be kept monitored.This disease can be experience a recurrence of the virus, due to being in the glands are still in living conditions but not active, and can be active again when triggered their risk factors.

Nasopharynx cancer is the fourth largest cancer suffered in Indonesia. Tend to be found at the races of Chinese descent and gender men. This cancer is also genetic (inherited). The cause of cancer of the Nasopharynx is not known for certain, but there are allegations that the Epstein-Barr Virus is one of the the cause. In addition, some other risk factors :

• Often consume foods containing preservatives, marinated or smoked
• Often consume food and hot beverages and alcohol
• Often suck smoke drugs, exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke or dangerous chemical substances (such as alkaline and petrol)

Nasopharynx Cancer Symptoms :

1. Frequent nosebleeds or frequent nose clogged like colds that never improved (early symptoms)
2. A sore throat that never improved (early symptoms)
3. Ears buzzing, discomfort in the ears and pain (early symptoms)
4. Symptoms in the eyes and nerves (symptom follow-up), which consists of: headaches, neck pain and faces, visions
5. Double/blurred eyes, jutting out
6. Symptoms of metastasis, namely in the form of swollen lymph nodes in the neck area

How to detect nasopharynx cancer ? specialist will usually do a Nasofaringoskopi (i.e.binoculars the nasopharynx through the nose). In addition, the patient may be advised to perform a biopsy or CTscan.

Nasopharynx cancer : stages

1. Stage 1 : the cancer is limited to the nasopharynx
2. Stage 2 : the cancer has spread to lymph nodes on one side of neck
3. Stage 3 : cancer has spread to lymph nodes around the sides of the neck
4. Stage 4 : cancer has spread to the bone and facial nerve

Radiotherapy for nasopharynx cancer
Nasopharynx cancer are usually treated with radiotherapy. There are two types of radiotherapy. External radiotherapy use the machine outside the body. Internal radiotherapy using radioactive substances wrapped up in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly inside the organs affected by cancer. The types of radiotherapy used depends on the type and stage of cancer nasofaringnya. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a 3-dimensional radiation therapy that uses sophisticated computer operation. In contrast to the usual use of radiotherapy IMRT can improve the patient's quality of life, as it is not overly cause xerostomia (dry mouth) after treatment.

External radiotherapy for thyroid gland (pituitary) can change the way they work. The doctor will probably test the thyroid gland before and after therapy to make sure they work well. Before radiotherapy, patients are also advised to check the health of teeth and gums as well as complete repair teeth/gums before radiotherapy is done. The health of teeth and gums is very important in care to prevent unnecessary pain, who appeared in post radiotherapy.

In the case of cancer of the nasopharynx cancer are not berespons of radiotherapy, surgery can be performed. The doctor may find it necessary to remove lymph nodes and other tissues in the neck are exposed to the tumor. Chemotherapy is usually done when the cancer of the nasopharynx is already for to other organs.

Liver cancer Stadium and Treatment of liver cancer

Liver cancer Stadium and Treatment of liver cancer. Before suggesting some liver cancer treatment options for you, the doctor usually needs to know the stage of cancer of the liver. Liver cancer treatments.

There are four stadium of liver cancer :

Illustration of Liver cancer stadium

1. Stadium I : liver cancer is local and may be appointed/surgery. The Tumor is 2 centimeters or less, is located in the single heart and can be done surgically.
   
2. Stadium II : liver cancer still is local and can be operated on. At this stage, the cancer is present in one or more locations in the heart but did not spread to the lymph nodes or nearby blood vessels.
   
3. Stadium III : at this stage, the cancer has not spread to other organs or lymph nodes. Usually the size of tumors already > 2 cm.
   
4. Stadium IV : at this stage, the cancer is present in more than one lobe of liver, may have spread to nearby lymph nodes, other organs (but not the gallbladder) and structures (such as the peritoneum), and growing into or around the blood vessels.

The Types Of Treatment Liver Cancer

Liver cancer treatment varies from patient to patient. Treatment approach is tailored to the needs of patients and to take into consideration the following factors: (1) the tumor size and location, (2) the stage of cancer, (3) the General State of health of a patient, and (4) the age of cancer.

Treatment options for liver cancer are :

SURGERY

Surgery is the action level of success is quite high, especially for patients who are the size of his liver tumors are small (under 5 cm). Two types of surgery to treat liver cancer are: the true and a liver transplant. But when the cancer was spreading out liver (lymph nodes, etc.), surgery may be less effective.

Types of surgery for patients with liver cancer :

• True partial : only lift cancer dissection course (a portion of the liver).

• The true total : a complex operation in which the entire liver/liver to be lifted. This procedure is followed by a liver transplant because the body cannot live without a heart.

• Liver transplantation : this surgical procedure involves two steps. Liver/liver healthy organs to be taken from a donor (the person who is dying of a brain) and then implanted into the body to replace a liver organ/liver patients who are damaged. Liver transplantation is a fairly expensive action costs.

The main side effects including liver transplant :

1. The high risk of infection.
2. Bleeding that is caused by the inability of the new liver organs produce the clotting protein
3. Freezing in the main blood vessel supply blood to the liver
4. Rejection of the liver transplant outcomes (not accepted by the body)
5. Cryosurgery is a minimally invasive procedure: (to kill cancer cells by means of frozen), substantially minimize pain and post-surgical scars so that patients recovered faster. But there are some risks associated, such as damage to nearby healthy tissue and nervous tissue.

• Radiofrequency Ablation : a minimally invasive method is another high level of success in lifting of liver cancer. This method works kill cancer cells with "cooking" them. The trick is: drain the electricity via radio frequency to a liver organ for removing the tumor.

RADIOTHERAPY

Radiotherapy uses particles of x-rays to destroy cancer cells. Patients of liver cancer may receive radiation therapy in a number of forms. External Radiation: uses an external device (linear accelerator) to generate x-rays are focused on liver tumors  internal Radiation of radioactive particles attached: namely in the seeds, wires, or catheters, needles that are placed in the tumor tissue. Radio-labeled antibodies: using radioactive substances attached to an artificial antibody to kill cancer cells. Side effects of radiotherapy include: chronic fatigue, irritation of the skin (the skin is red, dry, or gently in the area of exposure), loss of appetite and easily exposed to infection.

CHEMOTHERAPY

Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy for liver cancer can be given in the form of pills, intravenous infusion or injected directly into the tumor site (called chemo regional). The advantage of regional chemotherapy is to minimize the side effects of chemotherapy on healthy cells.

The following are the types of chemotherapy drugs for cancer of the liver are commonly used :

1. State Of The First-Order Second-Order Sequence Of A Third
2. Europe Gemcitabine Is Oxaliplatin Mitomycin
3. Gemcitabine Is Bevacizumab Fluororacil United States
4. Japan Epirubicin Gemcitabine Is Mitomycin
5. China Fluororacil Pirarubicin Oxaliplatin

The side effects of chemotherapy include: easy bruising, are easily infected/bloody, lethargy, hair loss, thrush & bleeding gums, nausea vomiting and loss of appetite.

These kinds of regional chemotherapy, among others :

• Hepatic Artery Chemoembolization : this treatment uses anticancer drugs are injected into the liver artery to block the flow of blood to the heart/liver. This blockage can be temporary or permanent, and allow drugs to kill cancer cells by stopping the supply of blood is rich in oxygen and nutrients to the tumor. However, this approach does not damage other parts of the heart, which continues to receive blood from the portal vein. The most common side effects of this method are: nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, fatigue, infections or problems with the device of the pump (which is used).

• Hepatic Arterial Infusion : a treatment option in which chemotherapy agents is infused in the arteries of the heart. Drugs are periodically inserted through the catheter.

• Isolated Liver Perfusion : the method is still in clinical trials. The goal is to expose the heart with high-dose chemotherapy which supply blood to the heart temporarily stopped. This Treatment requires complex operations in which a catheter is inserted into the liver artery, portal vein and veins and heart.

• Perkutaneus with Ethanol injection : an innovative procedure is with low mortality rates where the liver cancer killed by ethanol (alcohol). These substances are injected into the tumor. Alcohol destroys tumors with less of water cell cancer and alter cellular protein structures. The most common side effects of this treatment are fever and pain caused by the leakage of alcohol on the surface of the heart and into the abdominal cavity.

• Portal Vein embolization : is treatment approach in which the blood supply of portal venous congestion. This treatment has two benefits: 1) substantially reduces a portion of the liver (where usually the tumour is located) and 2) causes liver organs that are left to grow. Methods of embolization is pre-step operation for patients who need surgery but the size was too large for cancer.

TARGET THERAPY

Liver cancer treatments is quite resistant to chemotherapy drugs mostly. To overcome this, have developed new drugs (therapeutic targets) such as Sorafenib (Nexavar ®). However, the drug is still very expensive price (USD 5000 + per month) and still need to study its effectiveness in treating liver cancer, especially advanced stage liver cancer. India company called Cipla Ltd. is planning to sell the generic version for 1/10 of the price of Sorafenib (Nexavar ®), but still in the status of ' pending court case '.

Biological therapies: also called immunotherapy is a type of treatment used to improve the body's natural defenses. This treatment uses the immune system to fight cancer or to lessen side effects caused by cancer treatment. Examples of immune therapy is to consume: Typhonium Plus ® that works improves body endurance to be able to fight off cancer cells and reduces side effects (chemotherapy) as well as speed up post-operative recovery.

How To Treat Liver Cancer ?

Illustration of How To Treat Liver Cancer

How To Treat Liver Cancer ? During this time it is believed that the only cure for liver cancer is proven through the grafting of heart for small tumors that are less than three centimeters and all its own. However, later a number of doctors who say that small tumors can be removed through surgery with surgery action against most of the liver. That is, the operation is not carried out for the benefit of transplant care. By heart surgery, they also have a number of survival of one and three years for sufferers. This survival rate comparable to the actions of a liver transplant. Causes and Symptoms of liver cancer.


Most liver cancer sufferers don't want to undergo surgery of liver surgery. They better have a transplant, the removal of the entire liver and liver cancer and then exposed to graft from donors. For patients with cancer of the liver, liver surgery operations are feared will only bring up back cancer elsewhere in the liver on a few years later. Moreover, according to some experts, if someone ever had cancer of the heart, then the heart is likely to suffer from other tumor tumor-at the same time or in the foreseeable future

On the other hand, results of medical treatments, such as chemotherapy, kemoembolisasi, Ablation, proton beam therapy, and also often disappoint. Moreover, there is rarely a comparison of each type of treatment. No wonder people with liver cancer is only exposed to a variety of treatment options without ever could obtain satisfaction over the result.

The following are the methods of treatment of liver cancer can be optioned by sufferers :

1. Systematic Chemotherapy

Systematic chemotherapy was the most commonly used is the doxorubicin (Adriamycin) and 5-fluorouracil (5FU). These drugs are used simultaneously or a combination. Unfortunately, these drugs are very toxic, whereas the results are often disappointing. In addition, there is also a drug called tamoxifen (Nolvadex). However, so far it has not shown significant benefits. The other drug is octreotide (sandostatin) is given as an injection to slow the progression of the tumor-a large liver cancer tumors. But the fact has not been proven.

2. Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy

Normal liver gets 70 percent of the blood supply of portal vein and hepatic arteries of 30 per cent. Liver cancer got the blood supply exclusively from the hepatic artery. Therefore, emerging methods of chemotherapy through hepatic artery directly on the tumor. In theory, drugs can be delivered to the tumor-tumor drug poisoning without making the sufferer. However, chemotherapy drugs are in fact able to flow throughout the body. As a result, intra-arterial chemotherapy it can cause adverse effects systematically. This method of treatment can also cause side effects such as regional, gall bladder inflammation, ulcers in the intestines and stomach, and inflammation of the pancreas. In fact, patients with liver cancer in advanced stage could suffer liver failure after doing this treatment.

A radiologist usually perform the procedure through the hepatic artery. He will work closely with expert cancer who received chemotherapy determines the number of sufferers at every session of treatment. Some sufferers may undergo repeated sessions at intervals of 6-12 weeks. This procedure is done with the help of x-ray imaging. a catheter is inserted into the femoral artery in the groin and intruder into the aorta (the main artery of the body). From the aorta, the catheter is pushed into the hepatic artery. After the branches of the hepatic artery feeding on liver cancer chemotherapy drugs, then identify else is infused. The whole procedure takes 1-2 hrs, then the catheter removed.

Generally, increased liver tests or worsen during 3hari-2 after chemotherapy through hepatic artery procedure done. Improving liver tests is actually caused by the death of tumor cells and some cells is not a tumor. Hepatic artery after chemotherapy through done, sufferers can also experience abdominal pain and low-grade fever. This indicates that a more serious complications have developed.

3. Proton Beam Therapy

Proton Beam Therapy is a therapeutic technique that is able to deliver a high radiation dose dose-on a specified local area. This therapy is also used in the treatment of tumors-malignant tumors. Unfortunately, there has been no evidence about the efficacy of this treatment methods for liver cancer

4. Operation

Action operations performed on patients who have tumors less than five cm long and are limited to the liver. Other terms for operating actions is no invasion of the blood vessels to the heart.

5. Surgery Heart
Surgery liver (liver resection) aims at raising all tumors and liver tissue surrounding the tumor without leaving behind it. This action can only be performed against the sufferers have small tumors the size of tumor-three centimeters or less, a perfect liver function, and without cirrhosis. However, since the terms that it is not a lot of people with liver cancer that can undergo a surgery heart. The biggest concern of the Surgery is that after surgery, the patient may be experiencing liver failure. Liver failure can also occur if the part that is left behind from the heart it is not adequate to provide the support necessary to live.

6. Liver transplantation

Liver transplant could be one method of treatment for patients with end-stage liver cancer of various types, such as hepatitis B and C or chronic alcoholic cirrhosis. Survival figures for patients without liver cancer is 90 percent in one year, 80 percent in three years, and 75 percent in five years. Liver transplantation is the best choice for a patient who had a tumor the size of tumor-less than five centimeters, which also had signs of liver failure. In fact, the liver transplant on a patient who has a tumor-sized tumors less than three centimeters, but has no involvement with the blood vessels can run well.

After the transplant patient has recurrence of liver cancer risk of less than 10 percent. On the other hand, patients who have tumors-sized tumor more than five cm or with the involvement of the blood vessels very high risk to experience a recurrence of liver cancer. In summary, Surgery can do for sufferers who have small tumors and tumor-heart function is normal or there is no evidence of cirrhosis. Whereas, the sufferer having liver tumor that many or large tumors can also undergo a liver transplant, but must be appeased or alleviated with intra-arterial chemotherapy. The requirement of sufferers do not have signs of liver failure.

7. Liver Biopsy or siphoning off

Liver cancer tissue can be taken sample by using a very thin needle. This technique is called siphoning off fine needle. Whereas, when a larger needle is used to get a core network, then called a biopsy technique. The radiologist usually use CT Scan to direct the placement of the needle nor do fine needle biopsy and siphoning off. The most common risk of biopsy is bleeding, mainly because of liver cancer is a tumor that contains the blood vessels.

Siphoning off procedure is more secure than biopsy because it has a smaller risk of bleeding. However, it still requires the siphoning off of fine needle a pathologist with high skills. If a patient has liver cancer risk factors, such as cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B, chronic or hepatitis C, and blood levels of AFP are up significantly, so doctors usually conclude without doing a biopsy that theperson has liver cancer.

Causes & Symptoms of Liver Cancer

Illustration of Symptoms of Liver Cancer

Causes & Symptoms of Liver Cancer. Liver Cancer and heart pengertinya.Kanker is a cancer arising from the liver. Liver cancer also known as primary liver cancer or hepatoma. Heart shaped cell types of different, such as blood vessels, and fat storage cells. Liver cells to form up to 80 percent of liver tissue. No wonder the majority of primary liver cancers arise from cells called the liver and hepatocellular cancer or carcinoma. Liver cancer is often understood as a cancer that has spread to the liver, and is derived from other organs, such as the large, stomach, pancreas, breast and lung. A typical liver cancer is specifically called metastatic liver cancer secondary liver. Thus, the term liver cancer actually can refer also to metastatic liver cancer or hepatocellular cancer. Kinds of Liver Cancer can see here.

Liver cancer is the fifth most common type of cancer in the world. This cancer is a deadly cancer and can kill almost all sufferers within a year.

Characteristics of Liver Cancer

Based on the clinical data of the patient, then the category of liver cancer include :

1. Population characteristics (demographic), such as male sex, older age, or alcohol consumption.
   
2. Symptoms, such as weight loss and decreased appetite.
   
3. Signs of liver dysfunction, such as altered mental state.
   
4. Blood tests, such as elevated liver tests (bilirubin or transaminase), albumin decreased, Blood Urea Nitrogenincrease (BUN), or a low serum sodium.
   
5. Levels of tumor surgery based on findings. For example, more than one tumor, the tumor is more than three centimeters, tumor invasion of local blood vessels (portal vein or hepatic vein), also tumors that spread out from the liver to the vertices of the spleen or other organs.

Determination of levels of liver cancer can be done in various ways. For example, by looking at the clinical findings and pathological characteristics-characteristics. In fact, by combining elements of clinical and pathological. Determination of the level that is the clue to predict the final outcome (prognosis) and decisions about treatment. Doubling time for a cancerous tumor is the time required for mengggandakan size. For liver cancer, the doubling time was highly variable, ranging from 1-18 months. This suggests that any patients with liver cancer is unique. Thus, it is difficult to assess the natural history and evaluation of different treatments.

Nevertheless, 90 % of cancer of the liver patients with a lot less than three centimeters in proportions and with no treatment can love  one full year, fifty percent for 36 months and 20% for five years. Meanwhile, 30 percent of patients with advanced  liver cancer will love 1 year, 8 percent for four years, and % for 5yrs.

Symptoms and warning signs of liver cancer

Early signs of cancer of the liver are actually varied. In countries that experienced the prevalence on this disease, cancer of the liver generally present in a really advanced stage. This takes place for assorted reasons, including on account of limited usage of  health services for instance developing countries.

Countries that frequency of cancer of the liver is high, you'll find patients who're at risk of suffering from this ailment.  However, they are afflicted by liver cancer more aggressive. Which is, that they reached an advanced stage tumors so that  the signs of liver cancer is arriving sooner. On the other hand, the patients from the regions of low liver cancer frequency are apt to have liver cancer tumors that progress more  slowly. Quite simply, they cannot have symptoms that stay longer.

Warning signs of liver cancer is easily the most common and usually signifies an exceptionally large tumor or widespread involvement from the liver is incredibly sick or abdominal pain. In addition, weight-loss and fever that will stop explained are the indicators of cancer of the liver. Sighting early cancer of the liver is most typical in a very patient would you not have the complications of liver disease could be the  appearance of sudden complications. For example, ugly liquid suddenly.

Factors behind Liver Cancer

Cause of liver cancer as yet not known with certainty. However, primary liver cancer cancer of the liver (hepatocellular  carcinoma) will exist in the liver / liver damaged caused by birth defects, irresponsible drinking, or chronic infection caused  by diseases including hepatitis B and C, hemochromatosis (an excessive amount of iron levels within the liver) and cirrhosis. Greater than  50% of individuals are diagnosed with primary liver cancer, cirrhosis of the liver has suffered. People who endure an inherited condition called hemochromatosis possess a and the higher chances.

Various cancer-causing substances associated with primary cancer of the liver, including: herbicides, aflatoxin (a kind of  fungus on wheat plants and crops), and certain chemicals including vinyl chloride and arsenic. Smoking plus abusive drinking can also increase potential risk of cancer of the liver.

Other risk factors for liver cancer, including :

• Gender (male / female): males are at higher risk of cancer of the liver than women
• Excess fat: Obesity can make liver cancer
• Your race: liver cancer is usual in Asia & Oceania race
• The use of anabolic steroids: hormones are misused by athletes to produce these muscles, may slightly increase the  risk of liver cancer long term.
• Good reputation for diabetes: studies have suggested a hyperlink between diabetes and liver cancer.
• Inherited metabolic disease: which could improve the risk of cancer of the liver
• Rare disease: Research has found an association between cancer of the liver and a few rare diseases for instance lack of  alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, tyrosinemia, and Wilson's disease.

Warning signs of Cancer of the liver

Liver cancer often isn't going to cause symptoms. Once the cancer grows larger, people may see several of such  common symptoms, Pain inside the upper abdomen on the right side :

• A lump or heaviness within the upper abdomen
• Swelling (bloating) from the stomach
• Lack of appetite and stomach feel full
• Weight-loss without apparent cause
• Chronic Fatigue
• Nausea and vomiting
• Yellow skin and eyes, pale stools, and dark colored urine
• Fever

These symptoms can be a result of Liver cancer or other illnesses. For those who have such symptoms, you  should inform your doctor so that problems could be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.

Liver Cancer Signs

Approximately three-quarters of cases of liver cancer are only in countries in Asia, such as China, Hong Kong,  Taiwan, Korea and Japan. Liver cancer is a disease that can be quite common in Sub-Saharan Africa, for example in  Mozambique and South Africa. Over 20 cases of liver cancer per 100,000 population occurred in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.  Whereas in North America and Western Europe occurred under five per 100,000 population.

The frequency of liver cancer in Alaska resembles which can be found in Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, the frequency  of liver cancer inside the U.S. in general has increased, especially cancer chronic hepatitis C, a heart infection that creates  liver cancer. In 1990, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates there are approximately 430,000 new cases of cancer of the liver worldwide. Exactly the same number also appears about the patients who died from your disease.

Types of Liver Cancer

Illustration of Liver Cancer and Types

Types of Liver Cancer. Here is a little introduction about Liver Cancer disease and type. Hope it can make a useful bit of knowledge for all of us. Liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer suffered by men and the seventh of cancer suffered by women. Liver cancer cases were encountered in those developing countries, especially in East and Southeast Asia, Central and West Africa. In 2008, found 694,000 cases of liver cancer and death from cancer makes the third cause of death in the world. In Indonesia alone, there were 13 238 cases of liver cancer cases and 112 825 deaths from liver cancer in 2008. See also what is hepatitis ?

Or liver cancer, also known as hepatoma begins with symptoms such as abdominal pain, weight loss and if touched the upper right abdomen will feel no lumps. Those who are infected with hepatitis B or C virus susceptible to liver cancer.

Liver cancer is one of the diseases associated with hepatobillier system and pancreas. Some other defect is gallstones, cirrhosis (hardening of the liver), hepatitis, liver tumors, fatty liver or fatty liver (a condition where there is excess fat in the liver) and pancreatic cancer. Liver dysfunction can be caused by several things, such as hepatitis virus infection, excessive alcohol consumption, diabetes, obesity, toxic substances, genetic disorders and cancer.

Abnormalities of the hepatobiliary system can also manisfestasi in many forms. Known as jaundice or jaundice is the most common symptom and the focus of the examination despite not always being the dominant symptom. Someone who is exposed to hepatitis or cirrhosis have jaundice symptoms, in which the skin and whites of the eyes turn yellow because of increased bilirubin in the blood plasma.

Bilirubin is the main product of expenditures that old red blood cells and filtered from the blood by the liver and released in the bile. If the liver is malfunctioning or damaged it will increase total bilirubin jaundice early lead.

Disorders of bilirubin in the bile duct drainage due to liver disorder called Intrahepatic jaundice. Acute and chronic hepatitis is one of the diseases associated with intrahepatic jaundice. A common type of hepatitis is hepatitis A attacks, B, and C. Hepatitis A is an acute liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus is transmitted through water or food contaminated with the virus. While hepatitis B is caused by hepatitis B virus that transmitted by contact with blood or body fluids of the patient.

Is similar to hepatitis B, hepatitis C too transmitted through contact with contaminated blood. Hepatitis C virus infection sometimes leads to acute disease that can turn into a chronic condition such as liver cirrhosis or liver cancer.

Many people are not aware of the symptoms of liver disease because symptoms do not appear to be a serious illness, such as the body feels tired and weak, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite and fever, which is often regarded as a nuisance colds. They've taken seriously if you have bloody vomiting, yellowish skin and eyes, swelling and pain in the abdomen (stomach), easy bruising and bleeding (bleeding gums or nosebleeds) and mental disorders.

In the case of liver disease can be cured with therapy, treatment without having to replace the liver. But in cases where the liver is severely damaged, the patient will need a new heart through transplantation or liver transplantation process.
  
Heart / liver can develop primary liver cancer that arises in the liver, or cancer that forms in another organ and then spread to the liver. The majority of liver cancer is secondary or metastatic cancer, meaning derived from malignancies elsewhere. Worldwide, primary liver cancer attacked 2x males more than females, mostly affects people aged over 50 years.

Because the liver / heart consists of several types of cells, some types of tumors can form in the liver. There are liver tumors are benign and there are malignant (cancerous). Both types of tumors have different causes and are treated differently. Prospects for recovery depends on the type of tumor you have.

Common benign liver tumors are :

• Hemangioma
• Hepatic adenoma
• Focal nodular hyperplasia
• Cyst
• Lipoma
• Fibroma
• Leiomyoma

Generally benign liver tumors do not spread to tissues / organs other. These tumors can usually be cured by surgical removal, especially when they cause pain or bleeding.

Types of Liver Cancer

1. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) : the most common form of liver cancer in adults. Patients with chronic hepatitis C have a higher risk of developing this type of cancer. This cancer starts in the hepatocytes, the main liver cell types. Approximately 3 out of 4 cancer that starts in the liver are this type. HCC may have a different growth pattern. Some began as a single tumor that grows larger. Only at the end of the trip, the disease does not spread to other parts of the liver. Others, began in many places throughout the liver, not as a single tumor. It is most commonly seen in people with cirrhosis of the liver and is the most common pattern seen, especially in developed countries where alcohol consumption is high.
   
2. Bile duct cancers (cholangiocarcinomas) : bile duct cancers form a 1 or 2 out of every 10 cases of liver cancer. This cancer starts in the bile duct.
   
3. Cancer that starts in the blood vessels in the liver (angiosarcomas and hemangiosarcomas) : It is a rare type of cancer that starts in the blood vessels of the liver. These tumors grow rapidly. Often when found they had spread so it can not be removed. Treatment may help slow the disease, but most patients do not live more than a year after the cancer was discovered.
   
4. Hepatoblastoma : This species is very rare, usually found in infants. The main treatment is with surgery and chemotherapy. This disease has a survival of up to 90% when it is found at an early stage.

What is Hepatitis ?

Illustration of What is Hepatitis

What is Hepatitis ? The word "hepatitis" is utilized for those sorts of inflammation with the liver (liver). The delimas could be divided 2, namely: viral infection as well as other causes (such as complications of other diseases, alcohol, chemical drugs and autoimmune diseases). Viral hepatitis are some types, namely: hepatitis A, hepatitis B, C, D, E, F and G. Manifestations of the disease may be acute viral hepatitis (hepatitis A), may also be chronic hepatitis (hepatitis B, C) and a few are later to cancer of the liver (hepatitis B and C). Knowing with liver / heart.

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A is usually a liver disease the effect of a virus, usually attacks children. The condition usually goes away completely independently. Hepatitis A won't cause cardiovascular disease / liver extended.

The leading work with the liver / liver is to filter the blood from the intestinal tract, before passing with the body. The liver also detoxifies chemicals as well as the metabolism of medication by the body processes. During this process, the liver secrete bile, which is a liquid combustion blood cells which have been old or dead. Bile which is still employed to be taken again because of the body for your formation of the latest blood cells, whereas which is not used anymore will be excreted with the kidneys and small intestine.

Liver also makes proteins essential for blood clotting and also other functions, including storing minerals and vitamins (vitamins A, D, K and B12), maintaining blood glucose levels within the blood, and produces 80% of cholesterol within the body.

Condition in the heart / liver you :

1. Hepatitis : Inflammation of the heart / liver, usually brought on by viruses like hepatitis A, B, and C. Hepatitis can have non-infectious causes at the same time, for instance: having a drink, drugs, hypersensitivity, or obesity.
   
2. Fibrosis : Once inflamed, heart / liver tries automobile a scar forming small. This scar is known as "fibrosis", which makes the very center / liver might be more challenging to perform its function.
   
3. Cirrhosis : long-term problems for the very center / liver from any cause may result in scarring the more established and begins to fuse (permanent), called cirrhosis. Liver then becomes efficiently.
   
4. Cancer of the liver : Liver cancer, more often than not occurs after cirrhosis exists.
   
5. Coronary failure : As cirrhosis worsens, heart / liver can't filter wastes, toxins, and drugs inside the blood. The liver is not capable of producing the "clotting factor" to prevent the bleeding. Body fluids formed within the abdomen and legs, and bleeding in the intestine often occurs. At this stage, liver transplantation would be the only option.

10. Primary biliary cirrhosis : a rare disorder, an obscure process slowly damage the bile ducts within the liver / liver. Which consequently causes cirrhosis.

Study of Liver / heart

Blood tests :

1. Liver function panel : A panel of liver function / liver has a selection of blood tests to find out how well the heart / liver works.
   
2. ALT (Alanine aminotransferase) : Increased levelALT assistance in the identification of disease or liver damage / liver from your a number of causes, including hepatitis.
   
3. AST (aspartate aminotransferase) : With the improvement in ALT, AST checks carried out to look for liver damage / liver.
   
4. Alkaline phosphatase : Alkaline phosphatase is present inside the cells that secrete bile from the liver / liver, but also in the bone. When levels are high, could mean the flow of bile on the liver is blocked.
   
5. Bilirubin : elevated bilirubin levels indicate an issue with one's heart / liver.

7. Ammonia : ammonia levels within the blood increases when heart / liver is not functioning properly.
   
8. Hepatitis An experiment : testing of liver work as well as antibodies to detect viral hepatitis A.
   
9. Hepatitis B testing : antibody testing to determine whether hepatitis B.
   
10. Hepatitis C tests : blood tests to determine whether have been infected with hepatitis C virus.
    
11. Prothrombin time (PT) : Prothrombin while (PT) is usually performed to check on to the presence of blood clotting problems.
    
12. Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) : A PTT is finished to check on for blood coagulation problems.
    
    

Imaging tests :

1. Abdominal ultrasound : An abdominal ultrasound can test many conditions of the heart / liver, including cancer, cirrhosis, or perhaps a couple of gallstone.
   
2. CT scan in the abdomen : abdominal CT scan provides detailed images from the heart / liver as well as other abdominal organs.
   
3. Liver biopsy / liver : Liver biopsy is generally performed after the other tests, such as blood tests or ultrasound, the aim is to look at the presence of a tumor mass from the liver.

Our suggestions for fighting cancer

Illustration of fighting cancer

Our suggestions for fighting cancer are endless, it's all for the sake of our health in order to implement a healthy lifestyle to prevent the cancer. Fight cancer by the method of Cancerhelps are as follows :

1. Give total commitment to the fight against cancer.
2. Find instructions / advice of a medical practitioner who can be believed.
3. Consumption of herbal (Typhonium Plus)
4. Eating right.
5. Stress-free life.

When we think about the war, which showing directly in our mind is Vietnam. American forces fought on the battlefield with all the most advanced weapons equipment, power, money and intelligence terror, united in the fight to win. Vietnamese people with very simple weapons and hide them in the basement to avoid the American forces. World know that Vietnam was the one who won the battle ! Prostate cancer treatments.

Perhaps, as well as fighting the war on cancer ? With surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc are more advanced and sophisticated, by using the power of light. Cancer cells are only a small enemies that appear and be around the blood stream that will attack the other cells are still normal in certain tissues in the body. Could this extraordinary treatment to destroy cancer cells all at once without destroying the cells are still normal, such as the system you and your life.Our strategy in the fight against cancer, as we also advise you to seek the help of modern medicine, we also feel that you should use the traditional treatment (taking Typhonium Plus). In our opinion, you need to help your body to build and rebuild an immune system in your body. Allow your body's defense system to destroy or fight cancer cells. War from inside! Power, the sophistication of weapons of modern medicine may not be totally effective.

1. Total commitment in the fight against Cancer

This is your fight, not ours. We only assist you with our suggestion, but you have to fight in your own war. Indeed it is also your last fight. And if you do not have morale in the fight, no one can help you. Several people commented that taking supplements may Typhonium Flagelliforme (Keladi Tikus) can be dangerous; herbal definitely will not be worse than the chemo! Sometimes herbs can make your stomach like a shaken, for one or two days; later you give up! If you feel free to consume anything, your brain is already feeling suspicious of the suspect also transmit signals and your body will respond / react negatively.

We have not found someone who took supplements Typhonium Flagelliforme, for example, then suffered bad side effects. We are also aware that it is difficult to change the attitude of stubbornness or lack of trust. A friend once a doctor says to eat herbs like eating grass like a cow. If you have negative thoughts like that, then, the design of this battle is not for you! You've lost before the battle.

2. Find instructions / advice of a medical practitioner who can be believed.

If you have cancer, we recommend to look for guidance / advice of a medical practitioner who can be believed. We believe that the role of modern medicine also should not be ignored, and with this we also suggest that you need to find the best and use the two treatments that are both modern and traditional. You may already know, doctors have several options for you :

• Operation / surgery that is cut and lifted organ / tissue affected by cancer.
• Radiotherapy / Radiation that uses high-energy rays to scorch and kill the surrounding tissue.
• Chemotherapy drugs are injected toxic chemicals in the hope of killing the cancer cells. Unfortunately this can also kill your cells are still normal and weaken your immune system.
• In developed countries, you can run a bone marrow transplant. In this case, the doctor will try to kill everything in your body and infuse a new life system in your body.
• If all this fails, doctors raised their hands and gave up. That is, you've reached a dead end. Doctors repatriate you to the home by providing adequate supplies of drugs, ie pain killers or morphine. You are ready to go to death. They call management palliative (pain reducing medication)

Many of those who come to us have undergone treatment as above. From the experience of the above, we conclude there are at least two types of doctors. First, there is the sense of doctor. He knows and recognizes his work still has limited knowledge. You're lucky to have him as your doctor. Came to him for help. He probably does not mind if you also consume traditional medicine (herbal) as a supplement.

But there are also other doctors who think he is the best treatment .. There should be no herbs. Strictly comply with treatment way or he will not help you. Physician attitudes like this ruling is not favorable patient. Avoid this type doctors as much as possible. Look at the first type. If you do not have a choice and have to see a doctor like this (ruling), simply put, do not let him know that you are taking herbs. If there is no problem drinking orange juice or fresh apple juice, you do not need to drink juice green taro mice from herbal extracts (Typhonium Flagelliforme) instead ?

3. Alternative way is to use herbal medicine

There are many herbs available on the market for cancer. Suggestions from us to help treat cancer is by consuming herbal ingredients such as Typhonium Plus (www.cancerhelps.com)

4. Eating right and healthy food

In a small book, a book on the patients given chemotherapy by a cancer hospital, written as below: Q14. Is there a special kind of nutrition that is recommended to me to have on consumption ? There are no special foods you should eat. It is very important for a balanced diet kindness, one of which is to consume foods high in protein .... these are examples of foods that contain a lot of protein like meat, fish, eggs, milk, etc..

Cook and provide your food at home. Avoid eating out. People love to eat out, may be depressed by this, but once again we were told not to eat food from outside (eat foods that you cook at home) if you want to win the battle against cancer. The reason is very simple, the food you get from the outside, you do not know what is contained in these foods, such as oil, salt, flavor, and other additives. You need food for life and not death.

• Avoid fried foods and foods that contain a lot of fat. Including butter / margarine, because it is not good for the liver. If you must use oil, use olive oil. Note: the color is too white sugar is not good.
• Reduce consumption of meat. Sometimes become a question, which I get protein ? The answer is simple, that is, from nuts, wheat, etc..
• Consume lots of vegetables, especially the green. To obtain a wide variety of nutrients, eat different kinds of fruits, nuts and vegetables. As much as possible, eat vegetables raw or cooked but not too long.
• Drink fruit juices and fresh vegetables. Wash all parts of the body (inner body) with the fluid of life, it means you need to drink different kinds of juice. For example, carrots, celery and apple juice. Note: only one glass is not enough!
• Drink plenty of fresh fruits, if only a piece or two pieces, not to eat fruit!
• Avoid all kinds of canned food. For some people, eating fresh fruit or juice is something less practical - peel, extract / blending, washing, etc.. Convenient to do is take the food that is canned or bottled. Stop it all! You will simply kill yourself.
• If you do not apply the diet as recommended above, do not be anxious, and inventions change slowly. You will soon undertake such a diet. Changes in diet such as this is almost universal among the rich, succulent meat tempt the vegetarians. But do not complain, the ancient Chinese empire find health food is not wrong !

5. Live Without Stress

At a book "Imperial Secrets of Health and Longevity" which was written by Bob Flaws, western people do not know how to live a healthy life .... as long as patients are not eating the correct pattern and balanced life, they will not heal or be sick.

Briefly about Healthy Living, chinese proverb says : "For longevity, do not overdo things, and stress-free life."

"Anger generate chi (life energy), Joy chi relax, spend prolonged Sad chi, chi confusing Anxiety, Fear causes interference and concern caused chi chi stop (stagnant)"

Your aching body needs to rebuild itself. Your immune system to fight cancer cells. Therefore, it is your duty to preserve and not harm your chi and dispose of them in vain.

Surgery for Prostate Cancer

Surgery is normally the key treatment for early-stage colon cancer.

A Polipectomi is a technique widely used by physicians (specialists endoscopy) to get rid of colon polyps that are considered dangerous (leading to pre-cancer) in the time colonoscopy. For those who have a cancer, it will be important to measure an action called colectomy or segmental resection. Usually the doctor will lift the affected bowel cancer (for example the nearby lymph nodes), then reconnect the remaining portion of the intestine.

As of this operation, a doctor may consider it necessary to complete a temporary Lumbang excreta disposal (ostomy) in waist to present patients time heal the gut. A laparoscopic surgical colostomy (see picture below) - having a more sophisticated technique that does not call for a long incision as in ordinary surgery (open surgery). A few of the great things about this kind of of pain after surgery is a lot diminished and also the patient does not need hospitalization inside hospital too much.
 

For rectal cancers (rectum) early stages, doctors is able to do the surgery as local excision and trans-anal local resection, using a tool is put into your anus, without having to make an incision from the skin. In the matter of colon cancer and rectum cancer stage II and III, may need treatment / surgery is a lot more serious, with your methods :

1. Low Anterior Resection: This technique is conducted once the cancer is above the rectum position close to the border in the colon. The surgeon has to make an open incision inside abdomen to eliminate the affected area of the cancer (as well as infected lymph nodes), without affecting the Anus. In this method, the sufferer is capable to BAB as usual (throughout the anus).
2. Proctectomy with colo-anal anastomotosis: When the location of cancer one of several middle and a couple thirds below the anus, rectum and also the entire colon is attached to the anus should be removed. It's known as colo-anal anastomosis (anastomosis meaning connection). This is the difficult operation to try and do. Towards the doctor will make a brief excreta disposal bag (ostomy) to heal the gut. The 2nd operation is required later to pay the opening in the ostomy.
3. Abdominoperineal resection (AP): once the cancer is a the foot of the rectum towards the anus, the surgeon should also lift her anus. Consequently a drain faeces (ostomy) needs to be created to issue a permanent stool / feces from the patient's body the following
4. Excenteration pelvis: When rectal cancer has spread to nearby organs, we'd like a radical surgery, which could involve the removal of the colon, rectum or bladder / prostate / uterus are infected. An ostomy is important for permanent disposal of excreta. In the event the bladder is removed, a urostomy (opening for discharge of urine) is additionally required.

Uncomfortable side effects Surgery

The inside link between surgery rely on a lot of things, for example the amount of operations and person's health and wellness before surgery. Postoperative pain, generally felt. Another effect which will arise include: bleeding, blood clots in the legs, and damage nearby organs during surgery. Within the rare cases, bowel connection may leak and cause contamination.

For rectal cancer, radiation is normally given either before or after surgery to assist prevent cancer recurrence. A unique a style of radiotherapy can be performed within the of rectal cancer with small tumors. Radio-surgery therapy technique allows elimination of the tumor, with no need to perform open surgery.

Brachytherapy (internal radiation): Within this method, small pellets or seeds of radioactive material placed directly into cancer for a while with all the aim of turning from the cancer with no damage surrounding healthy tissue. Using this method is conducted for people who first reason or another cannot undergo surgery.

Chemotherapy for Prostate Cancer

Types of drugs targeted therapies for colon cancer, is: bevacizumab (Avastin ®), panitumumab (Vectibix) and cetuximab (Erbitux). This drug is often a monoclonal antibody made (the human version) to address cancer at its molecular roots. Targeted remedies are usually performed along with chemotherapy to improve the likelihood of treatment success.
