Preventing Cancer

   Bladder Canceryour best bet is to avoid possible carcinogens or cancer causing substances.  For starters don’t smoke,  consume  smoked  or cured meats  and  prefer  fresh to process  foods. Research also suggest: that there is a reduced incidence by including beta-carotene, vitamin B6 and selenium in your diet.  If  you work around carcinogenic chemicals,  follow the safety guidelines to avoid undue exposure.  In theory,  drinking liquids, especially water,  may dilute toxic substances that may be concentrated in your urine and   flush the symptoms out of  your bladder more quickly.

    With men  up to  four  times  more  likely than women of  getting bladder cancer, it occurs twice as often in Caucasians as it does in African American  and  Hispanics.  While Asians have the lowest rate of developing the disease. Bladder cancer  with  it’s 50%  to  80% chance of  returning  after  treatment  (this rate  is  the  highest rate of  any  cancer  including skin cancer.)  People whom work in the rubber, chemical, and leather industries, as dry cleaners or hair dressers.  Along with machinists, metal workers, printers, painters, textile workers  and  truck drivers have higher risk.

   Breast Canceras a women ages and starts to go through menopause the shift  from a balance of estrogen – progesterone, shifts to a greater degree of estrogen.  That  dominance  in estrogen…. can  promote  the growth of  some  breast cancers which are called hormone – sensitive  or hormone dependent breast cancers. Breast tissue developing  from prenatal stages until the time of birth and breast feeds are vulnerable. As these breast structures that have not gone through the full sequence of development are particularly sensitive to the detrimental effects of  environmental toxins.    Broccoli Sprouts!!!

   A Familial History of breast cancer increases your risk factor somewhat, particularly  BRCA1, BRCA2 and p53 genes.  However, reproductive  factors associated  with  prolong  exposure  to  endogenous  estrogen,  such as early menarche,  late menopause, late age child birth are amongst risk  factors as well.  Also one should also consider the higher risk of  exogenous hormones, hormone replacement therapy and prolong oral contraceptives.

  Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive  form of  breast cancer.   According  to  the  American  Cancer  Society  it  accounts  for  only 1%  to  5%  of   all  invasive breast cancers.  However,  the  five  year  overall survival rate  is 40%  compared  to nearly 90%  for all other types of  breast cancer  combined.  The  symptoms  of  IBC  actually  are not  caused  by any inflammation,  rather  by  cancer cells  blocking lymph vessels  in  the  skin and soft tissue.  

   Lymph  is  a  clear  fluid  that  contains  tissue waste  and  cells  that help fight infections.  It  travels  through the body  in vessels  that  are  similar to veins. Lymph nodes are small bean – shaped organs that link lymph vessels. Science and  Medicine will add to our ability to conquer cancer, researching  how  cancer  cells  can  influence the development  of  new lymphatic vessels  and   pathways.  While  also  establishing  other  routes  for  these  cells  to spread to other parts of the body.

   Colorectal Cancer: The National Cancer Institute recommends a low – fat, high  fiber diet  that  includes  at least  five servings of  fruits  and  vegetables each day.  While  reducing  the major sources of  fat  in your diet (limit meat, eggs,  dairy product, cooking oils and salad dressings.)  Also after the age of fifty to get a regular ten year checkup  and colonoscopy to determine  if  you may have any troublesome precancerous polpys.  When  I  was  48 years old this procedure  turned  my life  around  taking  me  back  15 years  when  the proctologist  removed a colony of  hemorrhoids  and  a  polpy. 

    Diet  is considered  a determinant of  increased risk  in  the  development   of  colorectal cancer.  Although  it’s  difficult to ascertain which components of  diet  are  most  important  in  increasing  your  risk  of  colorectal  cancer.  Compelling  evidence  also  suggests  a strong  association between red meat and  fat intake  and  colorectal  cancer.  While  high intakes of  animal  fat  is  also associated  with colorectal cancer,  the  fatty  acids  in  fish and  low  fat reduce  the  risk.  While  high  obesity  rates  and  a  lack  of  physical activity increases the risk as well.

   Gynecological Cancer: while there is no guarantee to prevent these types    of cancers, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. One way is with yearly examines  and inside knowledge  of   warning  signs,  which is unusal bleeding after menopause,  pain and pressure,  changes in bowel  or bladder habits  and  thickening  or  lumps  that  causes  pain  or  can  be  seen  or  felt. To  reduce  your  risk:  do not  smoke,  limit  fat  intake,  get  regular medical examinations,  limit  alcohol intake,  pay attention  to changes in your body and exercise daily  for at least 30 minutes  0f  Ungirdled  Truths!!!

    In the United States  this  year 90,000  women  will  be  diagnosed  with gynecological cancer, half  being cervical cancer about 30,000 patients will die with ovarian cancer being the deadliest.  It’s  worth repeating  again the symptoms usually go unnoticed:  vaginal bleeding  and  discharge,  changes in the skin of  the valva,  vaginal itching  and burning, back  and abdominal pain, being tired all the time  while  having  to  pass  urine  more  often  than usual and bloating.  It’s always recommended  that  women seek care of  the symptoms if  they have persisted  for two weeks.

   Leukemia:  there  is  no known way  to prevent most types  of  blood borne cancers, however, most people don’t know the risk factors. Avoiding any high doses of radiation  and  chemotherapy  used to treat previous cancer can be a forerunner.  Also avoiding exposure to benezene a chemical by – product of  coal and petroleum used mainly in gasoline,  and any others such as paints, solvents, plastics, pesticides  and  detergents. While those working with the products should always consider protective clothing and special care.

    When you have Leukemia:  the  bone  marrow  starts  to  make  a lot  of   abnormal white blood cells,  called Leukemia cells. They don’t do the work  of  normal white blood cells,  leukemia cells  grow  faster than normal cells and  don’t  stop growing  when  they  should.  Overtime  leukemia cells  can crowd out the normal blood cells, this can lead to serious problems such as anemia,  bleeding  and  infections.  Leukemia cells  can  also  spread  to  the Lymph nodes or other organs causing swelling and pain.

   Liver Cancerfor the general population screening hasn’t been proved to reduce the risk  of  dying  of  cancer.  While the American Association  for the Study  of   Liver Disease  recommends  liver  screening  for  those  thought  to have higher risk.  Those  people  with  an increased risk  include  Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C,  Liver Cirrhosis  from other causes such as an auto immune disease or excessive alcohol use  and  nonalcoholic  fatty liver disease.

   The liver performs many important  functions,  such  as  removing  toxins and  other chemicals waste products  from the blood  and  readying them  for excretion. Because the liver is usually accessible to cancer cells traveling the blood stream it can be affected  by primary liver cancer.  Which arises in the liver  or by cancer which  forms in other sites  and  than spreads to the liver.  In the United States…. primary liver cancer strikes twice  as  many  men  as women at an average age  of  67 years old.
