The Endometrium is the tissue lining the uterus or womb and cancer occurs when the cells undergo transformation. As all these cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, mechanisms that normally limit their growth form tumors. Cancer is dangerous because it overwhelms healthy cells by taking up space and the oxygen plus nutrients the healthy cells need to survive and prosper.
Therefore, the exact cause of endometrial carcinoma remains unknown; although, some of the risk factors including being over fifty pounds over weight, early puberty, never having been pregnant and late menopause. Also, women who have high levels of unopposed estrogen ( similiar then to ovarian and breast cancer) are also at an increased risk of this type.
Everybody knows what function the liver has, therefore, liver cancer the third most common cancer in the world and most surely the deadliest of all cancers. Killing almost all patients whom have it within a year and about three – quarters of all liver cancer is found in Southeast Asia ( in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan.)
Liver cancer also very common in Saharan Africa is greater than 100 cases per 100,000 population. In contrast the frequency of liver cancer in North America and Western European Countries is much lower…. less than five per 100,000 population. However, the frequency among native Alaskans are comparable to those seen in Southeast Asia.
Therefore stated, “the prevalence of hepatitis B infections, which is the most common cause of liver cancer worldwide. Recent data shows, however, that the frequency of liver cancer is rising in the United States and this increase due primarily to rising obesity and diabetes rates. With also the hepatitis B infection of the liver that causes cancer being another concern.”
The hepatitis B virus is able to multiply and flourish in the body while causing living inflammation caused by the immune system that can lead to cirrhosis. What these patients typically have are high levels of hepatitis B virus in their blood but normal enzymes and liver biopsies, however, what this virus can do is damage DNA.
Damaged DNA can cause liver cancer and such patients should have an ultra sound examination of the liver…. alpha fetoprotein blood test every six months to look for developing liver cancer. Usually individuals at risk for developing liver cancer are those with cirrhosis (advanced liver disease) and cirrhosis is a precancerous condition.
