Determining the breast cancer stages is important since it enables the patient and doctor to identify the treatment necessary for one’s condition. Also, it is essential in assessing the risk of the given condition and what lifestyle changes the patient can do to improve their health.

Identifying A Breast Cancer’s Stage

When talking about breast cancer stages, it is aimed at describing the extent of the cancer in the body. So, if you ask how a breast cancer is staged, doctors often start to classify whether it is invasive or non-invasive. Other factors considered are the tumor size, number of nymph modes involved, and what other parts of the body it has managed to affect.

Determining a cancer’s stage is helpful during prognosis and deciding on a treatment option.

To determine the stage, a few standard procedures are done by the doctor on a patient. They undergo physical exam and biopsy to acquire the data needed by the doctor for the diagnosis.

Breaf History of Hyperthermia
The healing effect of heat treatment was already mentioned in the advanced cultures of the old Egypt (2400 B.C.), but only the medical professionals of the Greek Antique used this therapeutic approach consistently, acknowledged it and called it over-warming (in Greek: Hyperthermia). “Give me the power to produce fever and I heal every illness”, said Parmenides, Greek physician, 540-480 B.C.

Hyperthermia in cancer treatment
Hyperthermia (also called thermal therapy or thermotherapy) is an acute condition which occurs when the body produces or absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. It is usually caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The heat-regulating mechanisms of the body eventually become overwhelmed and unable to effectively deal with the heat, causing the body temperature to climb uncontrollably.

Hyperthermia can also be created artificially by drugs or medical devices. In these instances it may be used to treat cancer and other conditions. Cancer cells are more heat-sensitive than healthy cells and their structure reacts differently to overheating. Continue reading ‘HYPERTHERMIA IN CANCER TREATMENT’ »

personalized chemotherapy Can Offer Patients a Better Chance

Personalized chemotherapy is available in Pittsburgh and in locations across the country. It is an adaptive technique used by pioneering doctors attempting to make chemotherapy more efficacious. Prior to what is known as personalized chemotherapy, treatment conditions were determined according to formulas that applied to the general population. An example of this is the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) where a mathematical formula determines the maximum dose of chemo a person should receive. The problem with this is that some patients had a higher or lower threshold and the treatment was either too much, leading to negative side effects or it was not enough and that lead to no positive cancer reducing effect for the patients. Doctors had the dilemma of giving too much treatment which debilitated the quality of life for cancer patients or not giving the patients enough treatment which lead to failure to treat the cancer and cancer recurrence.

Breast cancer treatment is usually a multi-pronged approach. The most common breast cancer treatment plan, in this order, involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and hormonal therapy. But there are many different types of breast cancer, so there are many variations in treatment. Also, the stage of breast cancer (0 through IV) will determine which treatments are best.

Surgery

Surgery is often the first step in breast cancer treatment. Removal of the lump and the cancerous tissue is imperative in most cases to keep the cancer from spreading any further. Depending on the stage (which is judged by the size and the spread of the disease) a woman with breast cancer may have a mastectomy or a lumpectomy.

A mastectomy is removal of the entire breast, where a lumpectomy saves the majority of breast tissue but removes only the lump itself and the very nearby affected breast tissue. A doctor will recommend which is the safest course of action for each type of cancer. Continue reading ‘Breast Cancer Treatment’ »

I fervently challenge the statement that cancer is a killer disease. Furthermore, I will demonstrate that cancer is not a disease at all. Many people who received a ‘terminal’ cancer sentence actually defied the prognosis and experienced complete remission.

George, my first kidney cancer patient was one of them. His doctors at one of the most prestigious university hospitals in Germany had just ‘given’ him three more weeks to live when he sought me out for help. According to them, his cancer was too advanced and widespread to consider having treatments of chemotherapy or radiation.

George had lost one of his kidneys to cancer one year earlier. After emerging from the operating room, his doctors gave him a ‘clean bill of health’. They used the famous ‘we got it all’ expression, which made a lot of sense to George; after all, they had removed the tumor, along with the entire kidney. Nevertheless, several months later his second kidney also started filling up with cancer, and the only ‘reasonable’ advice they had for him was to take care of his personal affairs.

According to the laws of quantum physics, in any scientific experiment the observer (a researcher) influences and alters the object of observation on a very fundamental level (observer-observed relationship). This fundamental principle of physics applies to you just as much. After all, your body is composed of molecules that are made of atoms; these atoms are composed of subatomic particles, which in turn, are made of energy and information. There is actually not even a trace of matter in what we consider physical creation. Although something may appear to be as solid and concrete as a rock, there is nothing solid about it; only your sensory perception makes it appear so.

Your thoughts also are merely forms of energy and information that influence other forms of energy and information, including the cells of your body. For example, if you are sad about something that happened to you, your body posture changes and your eyes lose their luster. Eye cells, like all other cells in the body, respond to your thoughts as a soldier follows the orders of his superior.

Therefore, if you believe strongly enough that you have cancer or if you are afraid of it, you face a significant risk of manifesting it in your body. Continue reading ‘Cancer And The Power Of Belief’ »

We have within us, the seed of who we might be and that can only grow through the nurture of knowledge. At time of terrific threat, we see life with great clarity. In that instant our life passes before us, and all the regrets, hopes and yearnings, that form our personality, present themselves for inspection. Our future is, in that moment, a possibility or an impossibility, depending on the decision that implants itself, right then, as a seed in our mind. The decision we took in that moment, has brought us to this place. The decisions we take now, will set the course of our future direction. Now is the moment of power in our life and knowledge is the fuel.

The various cures for cancer

The more we dig in this field of cancer, the more “cures” we find. I once asked an oncologist why he had not informed us of a particular protocol. “There are too many,” he said without looking up from his notes “if you wish to follow this or that fad, then do so, but I will only offer tried and tested regimes, within the medical framework.” At the time, I was discouraged by his disparaging use of the word “fad” and it was much later, in searching for our particular “cure”, that I slowly came to the understanding that his world and ours, were not too far apart, but it took me a long time to come to such conclusion. Not that I agree with chemotherapy in all cases, nor do I necessarily agree with the medical protocols chosen at the expense of a gentler, natural approach, nor even that an exclusive natural approach should be followed at all cost. Research has shown in some cases that a natural, nutritional approach is no less successful than some chemotherapeutics. Why then would a learned doctor choose a regimen that is guaranteed to make the patient ill, when other natural options are available? Continue reading ‘Cancer Management – Greatness Is Within Us’ »

One of the most dangerous diseases in this planet is cancer. Throughout the years, it has killed millions of people all over the world, making it a global epidemic. Most people are afraid to suffer and spend the rest of their lives living with this illness. However, using modern medications, cancer is preventable and even treatable. Nowadays, the scientists across the world are working very hard to invent medications that can cure this terrible disease.

One of the most common types of cancer is thyroid cancer. This disease is more common in women than in men. The exact cause of this type of cancer is still unknown. However, scientists suspect that possible causes include a family history of goiter, exposure to high levels of radiation, and certain hereditary syndromes.

So how you do know if you or your family members are suffering from thyroid cancer? The most visible symptom is a lump or a nodule in the thyroid region of the neck. Some other symptoms include difficulty in swallowing, throat or neck pain, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, excessive cough and vocal changes. If you or your family members notice some of these symptoms, you should take immediate actions before things get worse. Continue reading ‘Knowing the Symptoms of Thyroid Cancer’ »
