Gastric cancer

Gastric tumors consisting of benign and malignant tumors. Patients with benign tumors less frequently compared with malignant tumors. Gastric cancer is commonly found type of adenocarcinoma. This type of cancer ranks third in gastrointestinal cancers in the U.S. after colon and pancreatic cancer.

Gastric cancer is still common in the world community. Patients with gastric cancer in Japan are much higher than in Western countries. The damage to the mucous membranes of the stomach caused by bacillus infection Helikobakteri pilori spur the formation of cancer cells in the stomach. Gastric cancer is rarely declined. However, it should suspect the existence of hereditary factors in patients with gastric cancer who was very young.

Symptom

The growth of cancer cells in the early stages often causes no symptoms. Symptoms appear until the cancer cells are enlarged so that disrupts the function of the stomach. Symptoms include discomfort arises in the upper abdomen, weight loss, feeling full quickly when eating and loss of appetite, feel tired, stomach feels queasy and anemia due to bleeding from the tumor. Most gastric cancer patients have a pain in the upper abdomen, nausea and vomiting.

Examination

Physical examination should be done if there is swelling in the abdomen. X-ray examination with contrast solution can be used to detect cancer cells in the stomach. Endoscopy can also be done to see the cancer cells are then biopsied for examination in the laboratory. CT-scans of the liver performed to determine the presence or absence of metastatic process.

Treatment

If cancer cells are only located in certain parts of the stomach is usually done by surgical treatment and removal of tissue with cancer. After gastric surgery usually still be able to function normally. Radiotherapy or radiation therapy is rarely performed because of the surrounding organs are very sensitive to irradiation. Radiotherapy performed in patients with gastric cancer cells such as cancer had experienced metastasis to bone tissue.

There are also alternative treatments for cancer such as eating soursop leaf tea, pure honey, taking the crown of the god, eating certain fungi that can fight cancer and others. With alternative treatments and natural that many say can kill cancer cells that are not enlarged and did not spread to other parts.

Bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is a malignant tumor that often affects elderly men aged 50 years or more. causes of this cancer. 30-40% of bladder cancer patients are smokers. But in a recent study found new evidence that young women who experience early menopause have a higher risk for bladder cancer. The decrease of estrogen could be expected to cause an increase in urinary tract infections that result in women susceptible to bladder cancer.

Carcinogenic substances that is also instrumental in the formation of these cancerous cells. Some carcinogenic substances, such as benzidine and aniline may cause irritation of the mucous membrane that exists in the bladder. As a result, chronic irritation in a long time. This situation is beginning the development of tumor cells / cancer

Cancer cells may appear in various places in the bladder. At first the cancer cells grow in the surface layers of the bladder wall. Eventually these cells to grow toward the deeper layers of the bladder wall.

Symptom

Bladder cancer patients usually have pain in the genitals and blood came out under the same urine. If the cancer cells block the bladder, obstructed urine out of the body.

Examination and observation using MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) can be used to determine the presence of bladder cancer. Examination of tissue biopsies can be used to prove the existence of cancer cells in bladder

Treatment

Treatment of bladder cancer depends on tumor stage. Tumor cells that grow on the surface that grows on the surface can be treated with medication. Then performed the surgical removal of cancer cells little by little. To avoid the recurrence of chemotherapy is usually given in the form of bladder washings. A number of drugs dissolved in the liquid, then threw be on the verge of defeat (slang), drugs were inserted into the bladder and left for several hours. Next, be on the verge of defeat opened so that fluid drug out of the bladder.

BCG is veksin to prevent TB disease. Liquids can also be used to BCG bladder washings. After chemotherapy, patients usually frequent urination, mild bleeding, and pain when urinating

Treatment for tumor cells that grow into the inner lining of the bladder should be surgical removal of the bladder. External irradiation is often performed as a complementary action of this cancer.
