tumor. Cancer is a preventable and curable disease if detected earlier. Patients
are screened and educated to identify the signs of cancer.

Incidence of Cancer:
Cancer is the second leading cause of death. In India cancer incidence is less
than in western countries due to the immigration of population to the rural
cities, changing lifestyles and increase life expectancies. In India oral and
esophageal cancers have high incidence rates than other cancers because Indians
have the habit of chewing tobacco and eating spicy food. There is a significant
variation with age, sex and geography in the incidence of the various types. Risk
factors of cancer are also associated with social and economic status. In
addition, patients in the lower social classes have consistently poorer survival
rates than those in the higher social classes.

Causes of Cancer:
The mutation of the cell in the DNA expose to the carcinogenic agents results in
the failure of the normal cell division, growth, proliferation and cell death. The
progression of the tumor from mild to severe abnormality with invasion of
neighboring tissues called metastases, which results in cancer.

Cancer otherwise called as tumor or neoplasm or carcinoma.

Cancer could be a benign or malignant.

A benign tumor is a silent tumor though it abnormally grows but is not a life
threatening.

A Malignant tumor is what we call as cancer where there is an uncontrolled growth
of the cells and affects almost the nearer tissue of the body. This compresses the
nerve even could damage the nerve, the invasiveness of the surrounding tissues, ad
metastasis. It spreads through the lymphatic system or blood to other tissues and
organs. As per the areas affected called as organ cancer.

Signs and symptoms of cancer:
Symptoms varies according to the area affected, the common symptoms are
Unbearable Pain caused by tissue and nerve damage.
Fever, malaise, Delayed wound healing, due to the alteration of the immune system.
Palpable mass could appears in the subcutaneous areas like breast, salivary gland,
lymph nodes, etc
Loss of appetite, and weight
Fatigue
Night sweats

and reduced chest circumference
 

Liver cancer: vomiting even intake of water, yellow coloration of the eyes, nails
and extremities, recurrence of jaundice, indigestion problems
 

Brain Cancer: severe head ache, recurrent fainting, convulsions, vision lost and
the symptoms vary as per the lobe of the brain affected
 

Prostrate cancer: frequent and painful urination, blood in the semen and urine,
painful ejaculation, stiff thigh and lower back
 

Screening tests:
Screening of normal people is done to detect the cancer earlier and to reduce the
mortality rate. Some of the screening tests done to detect cancer are as follows:
X-ray
MRI Scan
PET Scan
Biopsy of the cancerous cell e.g.: bone marrow biopsy, Liver biopsy
Mammography
CT Scan
Endoscopies of the esophagus/ stomach/ rectal
Faecal Examination
Serum prostrate antigen in case of prostrate cancer
Complete blood biochemistry tests
Hormonal tests

Management of cancer:
The first step is the proper diagnosis of cancer for early detection, cure and
improvement of quality of life. . Suspicion of cancer can be achieved by clinical
assessment of the signs of cancer then leads to further tests.
 

Treatment of Cancer:
Cancer may treated by
1. Surgery – removal of the mass
2. Radiation therapy- The X-rays are passed through the skin to the involved
area to erode the tumor
3. Hormonal therapy – By reducing the circulation of the stimulating hormone in
the body may reduce the proliferation of the tissues
4. Immunological therapy – stimulus to the immune system of the body to alter
the natural history of the malignancy.
5. Chemotherapy – New Drugs are being researched for treating cancer.
In India the development of the cancer treatment in India led to higher survival
rate and improve quality of life. Cancer Surgery in India considered being the
primary treatment of Cancer, the latest technology brought miracles to many
patients’ life. Costs for Cancer surgery in India are affordable and also offering
free treatment to poor people in cancer institutes. India is one of the best
centers for the rehabilitation of cancer. In India there are about 15 research
centers doing research on cancer in order to eradicate cancer from the root
itself. Cancer institutes in India invite patients from various part of the
country to provide them best treatment.

For more than 20 years the American public has been told to watch its fat intake or suffer the consequences. The national “fat hysteria” got so bad that back in 1989 the National Academy of Sciences advised everybody, regardless of the presence or absence of risk for coronary heart disease, to go on a restricted diet low in fat. The Lords of Lowfat loved this, and the food industry proceeded to take advantage of the situation, as they always do, and come out with a whole new line of “lowfat” or “fat free” products, many of which were neither.

Why groups such as premenopausal women and children, who are largely immune to coronary heart disease, should go on such a restricted diet was not explained. Meanwhile, other complex, interlinking causes of coronary heart disease like lack of exercise, obesity, stress, genetics  and caloric intake went largely ignored. Fat was the culprit. Any possibility that dietary fat could be utilized in the cause of good health and physical performance was conveniently dismissed. As a result, people began eating those carbs. They began watching what they ate. Above all, they became aware of the fat they were eating and did their best to avoid it like a plague. And, guess what? As a society we got fatter than ever. We’re getting fatter all the time. The heart attack parade hasn’t stopped. What’s wrong with this picture?

Meanwhile, bodybuilders didn’t seem to be getting the kind of growth they were looking for from all those carbs. Sure, they got big. But they also got fat. By contest time, they were most often right about where they’d been before they started the whole diet cycle. The siren song of steroids became ever more inviting.

But now, you’ve got an alternative. A healthy and effective one. It’s called the Anabolic Diet and it’s been striking telling blows against the Lords of Lowfat and getting bodybuilders the growth they want without all that added bodyfat.

PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF THE ANABOLIC DIET
• Increasing Lean Body Mass Without Steroids
• Decreasing Bodyfat Without Sacrificing Lean Mass
• Maximizing The Effects Of Endogenous Anabolic Hormones
• Increasing Strength While Losing Bodyfat
• Decreasing Catabolic Activity In The Body
• Avoiding The Health Problems Of The High Carbohydrate Diet
• Staying In Shape Year Round Instead Of Peaking Once Or Twice
• Improving Contest-to-Contest And Year-to-Year/No Plateaus
• Endurance Increases

Raw foods are known to be the perfect anti-aging supplements that you can find. They are the best because cooking is known to remove some vital nutrients from food. If you were to instead take food in the raw form, your body will have more of the vital nutrients.

Typical examples for such raw food include carrots, oranges, grapefruit, lemons and amla.

These days there is increasing awareness about skin care among men too. A lot of it has got to do with the internet and its numerous resources which have details on such aspects. Contrary to what many think skin care for men need not take hours together. Instead spending a few minutes each day would be enough. The first thing that you need to do is to use a good cleanser and soap, preferably one with antibacterial properties. You should also try and wash your face with warm water and then rinse it dry using cold water. This way you will not clog sweat pores on your face. Additionally you can try using a protective sunscreen lotion before you go outdoors.

If you are looking for silky smooth hair, the first thing that you need to have is a good hair brush and not a shampoo as most people think.

If you are lady who likes to tie your hair, then instead of going in for rubber bands, you can always try out elastic, which do not tend to tear off hair. You should also limit your blow drying sessions since excess of it can damage hair follicles.

It is essential that you find daily tasks that make your body move. These days with sedentary jobs becoming commonplace, more and more people are suffering from health complications. You can try out small little things either at home or at your workplace which can make you move more. For instance you can always take the stairs instead of the lift. Similarly you can try walking your dog early in the mornings. You can also try stretching from time to time in your office, to relieve your tired muscles. Literally anything that makes your body would do you a world of good.

You can for instance prepare dishes which are mixed with certain energy giving dry fruits. Similarly you can either have other types of nuts such as almonds or walnuts either raw or make them part of your cuisine.

Advances in the field of medical science have been all encompassing. The field of dentistry is no different. There is more and more merger of dentistry along with plastic and cosmetic surgery these days. Aesthetic dentistry involves more than just a smile makeover.

The use of lasers in the field of cosmetic surgery is no longer something that was only possible in sci-fi movies. It has become a reality these days. Gone are the days when this type of treatment was for the rich and famous only. With increasing competition and advancements in science and technology, even an average person on the street can afford some of these treatment procedures. The most common cosmetic surgery usage of lasers is perhaps found in laser face resurfacing. Since there is less invasion there are little or negligible amount of scaring reported after this surgical procedure. In fact this is the reason why many people are going in for such surgery in the first place.

Millions of children around the world suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD.

It is always preferable though, that you consult your doctor before putting your children on a course of drugs for treating the disorder

Researchers in the US have come out with an astounding revelation that many of the commonly anesthetic drugs can in fact flush out what could be potentially painful memories. The research carried out in various parts of the US claims that these drugs play a major role when it comes to blocking out emotionally draining memories. Further research findings on this matter are awaited. If these reports were to be true, then it could prove to be a boon to millions of people who suffer from emotional disturbance caused by painful memories.

Within the next 10 to 12 years, though, new methods of birth control will make uncomfortable condoms and irreversible vasectomies a thing of the past and put men more firmly in control of their own fertility.  Scientists have been toying with male birth control since at least the 1970s.  Because of this, scientists started out trying to control male fertility in a similar way, by adjusting the levels of testosterone to block sperm production.  Collecting data from about 9,000 men in eight different countries, the study found that 55 percent would be interested in hormonally based birth control methods.  Among both genders, 36 percent of American adults said their “current method is fine” and approximately another one-third said they would wait a year before using any new male birth control product.  The intrauterine device (IUD ) is a safe and effective method of birth control used by many women worldwide.  Lactational  Amenorrhea Method (LAM) is a certain birth control method that relies on natural infertility after labour when a fully breastfeeding mother is amenorrheic.  Condom was the only choice for men in reversible birth control for ages.  Since the 1960’s, when female birth control pill has been invented, women seemed to have more control over contraception than men.  It seems that the situation is going to change anytime soon because various new reversible birth control methods have been found for men.  Question is, whether men are going to use their new options in birth control or not.  However, not all birth control methods are equally effective or ineffective at all.

The birth control pill (also called “the Pill”) is a daily pill that contains hormones to change the way the body works and prevent pregnancy.  Most birth control pills are “combination pills” containing a combination of the hormones estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation (the release of an egg during the monthly cycle).  Depending on your pack, you will either stop taking birth control pills for 7 days (as in the 21-day pack) or you will take a pill that contains no hormones for 7 days (the 28-day pack).  Any type of birth control pill works best when it is taken every single day at the same time of day, regardless of whether a girl is going to have sex.  Of course, this is an average figure and the chance of getting pregnant depends on whether you take your birth control pills every day.  The birth control pill does not protect against STDs.  The birth control pill is a safe and effective method of birth control.  Young women who can remember to take a pill each day and who want excellent protection from pregnancy use birth control pills.  Many health and family planning clinics (such as Planned Parenthood) sell birth control pills for less.  In addition, birth control pills and doctor visits are covered by many health insurance plans.  The 365 day pill was the first continuous birth control pill, which results in no periods.

Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast.  This year it is estimated that nearly 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die.  Approximately 1,700 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 will die each year.

Symptoms

Symptoms may include: One breast larger than the other Red or pink skin Swelling Rash (entire breast or small patches) Orange-like texture (peau d’ orange) Skin hot to the touch Pain and/or itchiness Ridges or thickened areas of breast Nipple discharge Nipples that appear inverted or flattened Swollen lymph nodes under the armpit Swollen lymph nodes of the neck (sometimes).  Common symptoms of breast cancer include: A change in how the breast or nipple feels. You may experience nipple tenderness or notice a lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm area.  Other possible associate symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes under the arm or above the collar bone on the affected side.  What should people do if they have IBC symptoms?  If one or more symptoms continue for more than a week, look for information and talk to a physician with experience with this particular type of breast cancer.  The symptoms must guide the diagnosis, and age should not be used to exclude it. 
Other conditions have symptoms resembling those of inflammatory breast cancer.  But it is important that a woman knows exactly what the symptoms of breast cancer are in order that they can easily recognize that they may have this condition and therefore get it treated much earlier.  If the symptoms of breast cancer can be diagnosed when it is in the early stages of development, then there is an increased chance of the condition being treated and a cure found.
