			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wonder why some doctors seem to pronounce the dreaded &#8220;you have cancer&#8221; on victims of the condition with some degree of &#8220;finality&#8221; as if that&#8217;s the end of the road for them. While certainly most will disagree that doctors seem to enjoy it, who knows &#8211; they just might. But whether they enjoy pronouncing it or not, you shouldn&#8217;t let the pronouncement be the end of the world for you.</p>
<p>This is because everything the doctors say can&#8217;t be guaranteed. If they say you are going to live for only 2 more years, there&#8217;s no guarantee of that. They are only supposing. So, don&#8217;t let their pronouncement make you lose all hopes of life. If you still have any bit of life in you, then you can still do all you can to fight the condition to a standstill and &#8211; wait for it &#8211; WIN!</p>
<p>Yes, you read that right. There are lots of prostate cancer survivors and conquerors out there who have successfully defeated the condition. The point is &#8211; if they could, you CAN as well. All you have to do is find out what they did to survive the cancer and do the exact same things. You just might get the same results. Don&#8217;t just sit alone and wait for death. Stand up and FIGHT and you will be surprised at the results you will get!<span id="more-1031"></span></p>
<p>I personally know people who have survived prostate cancer and one of the most important factors that helped them, according to them, is their WILLINGNESS to survive it. This fueled an invisible force within them that helped them survive. Like I always say &#8211; if they could, you CAN as well!</p>
<p>To know why Prostate Cancer Prognosis Shouldn&#8217;t Scare, all you have to do is <a href="http://prostatecancervictory.com/prostate-cancer-treatment/why-prostate-cancer-prognosis-shouldnt-scare-you/" target="_blank">Click Here</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone of us would really like to know how do you treat cancer effectively and quickly. More and more people die of cancer and the the survival rate is not getting any better, no matter how many billions of dollars are spent in the fight against cancer. There are a lot of things a person can do beat cancer.</p>
<p>How do you treat cancer</p>
<p>Most importantly you need a positive attitude and believe that cancer is curable no matter how advanced it is. The belief that everything will be fine is very important, it should not be underestimated and neglected. It is very easy to lose hope, but if you do that, then you have very little chance. There is no &#8220;magic cure&#8221; for cancer, but you can do research about patients, who have beat cancer and talk to them, that is very helpful, never be alone.<span id="more-856"></span></p>
<p>Another very important factor to treat cancer successfully is to find the right doctor. A lot of doctors simple are to busy and have no time for you and they are also not opened for alternative and natural treatments, that have proven to work. The patient and the doctor should work together and find out the best treatment options.</p>
<p>It is also essential not to wait to find the right doctor and hope the doctor will fix everything. There are a lot of things that you can do; eat healthy foods, exercise regularly, take the necessary minerals and vitamins. When you just lay down in your bed and do nothing, then your chances will not be very high.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The value of annual women mammograms in their 40s &#8212; the main topic of a lingering dispute among health policy and advocacy teams &#8212; has drawn resounding support from the nation&#8217;s largest group of obstetricians/gynecologists.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, the ACOG issued new guidelines that calling for mammograms to be done every year beginning at age 40. This is a departure from its former recommendations, which advised mammograms every one to 2 years beginning at 40 years old and then every year beginning at age 50, depending on the <strong>incidence of breast cancer</strong> in younger women and its typically speedier progression, guidelines co-author Dr. Jennifer Griffin explained.</p>
<p><span id="more-3215"></span></p>
<p>The guidelines conflict with those issued in late 2009 by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which encouraged screening mammograms only each other year beginning at 50 years old because they can result in many false positive results, prompting unnecessary biopsies and extra tests.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the main point we considered was that around 40,000 women yearly in their 40s are diagnosed with breast cancer, and about 20% of the women will die of it,&#8221; said Griffin, an assistant professor of OB/GYN at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. &#8220;Screening mammograms lower the risk of dying by 15%&#8221; in this population.</p>
<p>More than 207,000 U.S. women were diagnosed with <strong>invasive breast cancer</strong> in 2010, based on ACOG, and nearly 40,000 died from it. Breast cancer is the second most usual type of cancer in women in the U.S. after skin cancer. It may be determined by a mammogram while it is very tiny and before it grows large enough to become symptomatic.</p>
<p>A key factor in the ACOG suggestion is the lesser &#8220;sojourn time&#8221; &#8212; the period of time in which a breast cancer can be detected by a mammogram while it is still very small and before it gets big enough to result in symptoms &#8212; among younger women. Women aged 40 to 49 have a sojourn time of 2 to 2.4 years, the guidelines said, while those ages 50 to 59 have a sojourn time of 2.5 to 3.7 years, and women 70 to 74 have a sojourn time of 4 &#8211; 4.1 years.</p>
<p>&#8220;In these young patients, we have a smaller window because these cancers tend to grow faster, sooner,&#8221; said Dr. Lauren Cassell, chief of breast surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. &#8220;There are lots of patients who develop breast cancer between 40 and 50. The fear was we would miss these patients and see them at later stages.&#8221;</p>
<p>The American Cancer Society and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network&#8217;s screening recommendations are identical to ACOG&#8217;s new guidelines, while the National Cancer Institute calls for mammograms every one to 2 years beginning at 40 years old. In addition to concerns about fear-inducing false great results, some officials have expressed concerns about radiation emitted from mammography machines, which typically equals that of a round-trip transcontinental airline flight.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mammograms are stressful to patients because some require follow-up,&#8221; Cassell said. &#8220;But regrettably, to find the <strong>breast cancer patients</strong>, some are going to have false positives&#8221;­ At some level, I feel we must accept that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some early, noninvasive breast cancers, known as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), never progress to dangerous cases, Griffin acknowledged, and the detection of mammogram may provoke aggressive treatment that finally is unnecessary or dangerous.</p>
<p>But, &#8220;there&#8217;s not a lot of consensus exactly how many cancers might regress&#8221;­ and no way of knowing which ones might regress or progress,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It is true that some of them we detect wouldn&#8217;t progress.&#8221;<br /> The possibility cost of mammograms was not taken into account in making the suggestions, Griffin said again, but that was also true of the 2009 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines. Overall, about 1,900 women aged 39 to 49 would have to be &#8220;invited for screening&#8221; (though some might decline) to save one woman in that age range from dying of breast cancer, the ACOG said.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is all depending on our best judgment with the best available proof,&#8221; Griffin said. &#8220;Women in their 40s typically have children, some have aged parents, many are active in the workforce. I do not think we can really underestimate the value of that one life saved.&#8221;</p>
<p>The American College of Radiology (ACR) and Society of Breast Imaging said they promoted the updated ACOG recommendations, noting that National Cancer Institute data show the U.S. breast cancer death rate &#8212; previously unchanged for 50 years &#8212; has dropped 37 percent since mammograms became widespread in 1990.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think not screening these patients yearly is taking a step backward,&#8221; said Dr. Donna Plecha, division chief of breast imaging at University Hospital&#8217;s Case Medical Center in Cleveland. &#8220;The cure rate of early breast cancer is in the high 90s (percent). So I believe that it&#8217;s sensible for patients in that age group to come in yearly.&#8221;</p>
<p>Breast Cancer Patients is a new star of Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Website, it will be to provide comprehensive breast cancer prevention knowledge and the latest breast cancer treatment information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The initial  fact to be started with is that breast cancer is the  disease  where in the cancer cells became irregular. In this way, cancer cells grow right away and divide quickly than the strong cells. The added significant fact  to be mentioned here is that there are also tumors that are some cancer cells that form growths. As a matter of fact  some tumors instantly grow, and sizes of tumors are l ever-increasing. In the case you are paying attention to this  theme and you most likely are since you are reading this post) it will be helpful for you to know that a cancer cell has the ability to be spread to other body parts throughout the blood and the lymph systems and this procedure is called the metastasis.</p>
<p>A cancer is called a breast cancer in the case the cancer starts at the breast. It should be pointed out  that it can also be establish in a mammogram, this is in the case a woman feels a lump on her breast or by the doctor&#8217;s assessment. It is essential for every  woman to understand  that it is truly important to do monthly self breast exams. As concerning women who are over 40 years old, they need to keep in mind that it is necessary  to have a yearly check up to your doctor or a mammogram each year because  breast cancer is prone to women with such age, not unlike with younger women, checkups are done less. You may wonder what is the reason for this. Actually,  the reason for this is that after menopause, breast may either be lumpy or firm if you feel it, a woman who is already menopause has lesser estrogen. In other words it simply means that breast will feel much softer and will be less lumpy.<span id="more-159"></span></p>
<p>You should also know  that the lumpy and firm tissue can in fact  hide a lump that is small to make it hard to feel. If you do the breast checking every month you will  be familiar with  your breast&#8217;s tissue and in adding you will notice the changes that may occur in your breast. It is an significant fact to take into consideration that small lumps are found in a mammogram or by a doctor&#8217;s examination and some lumps are so small that only a mammogram can detect.</p>
<p>To go into more particulars there is a need to state  that breasts are made of ducts and lobes. Each of the breasts has 15-20 sections or most commonly  known in the medical field as lobes, that has many sections which are smaller (the lobules that have dozens of tiny bulbs which produces milk). The ducts are the one that links the lobes, lobules and the bulbs. Also, the breast has lymph and blood vessels.</p>
<p>Lymph is the lymph vessels carry an almost  colorless fluid which and then these lymph vessels lead to lymph nodes. It should be  pointed out  that these lymph nodes are a small  bean shaped structures that are found all over the body. It will be also helpful for you to ]know  that the lymph node organs filter the substances in a fluid that is called the lymph that helps fight diseases and infections. You should also know that the clusters of lymph nodes are found under the arm called the axilla which is near the breast, in the chest above the collarbone.</p>
<p>The most common  of breast cancer is Ductal carcinoma. As a matter of fact  this kind of cancer begins in the cells of the ducts,the cancer of this kind is more often found in both breasts. This is besides  the other unusual type of breast cancer that is called inflammatory breast cancer which gives the warm, red and swollen texture of the breast.</p>
