Basic Cancer Knowledge
First cancer were found in Egyptian and pre columbian mumies about 5,000 to 2,400 years ago. They were documented in ancient medical writing, written in papyrus 3,500 years ago. Nowadays, the reason behind cancer still not clearly understood. Scientist believe that cancer is the cell which grow rapidly than normal, assume abnormal shapes and sizes. Many cancer cell will involve (spread) in a vital organ and may lead to death. The spread of cancer more related to the individual's chances to survive.
This cell commonly know in stages:
-Early or localized (a tumor)
-Primary Direct. (curable cancer)
-Direct extension ( a tumor have invaded adjacent tissue)
-Metastasis ( a tumor spread to distant part in the body eg. Blood, heart and etc)
Cancer usually have the tendency to cause death but a benign tumors usually do not cause death.
Cancer cells divide at a higher rate. When the normal fail to recognize the cancer cell rapid growth, the normal cell will slowly die due to the limited growth of useful tissue. As the cancer cell take over the normal tissue, it will spread rapidly depends on the individual's immunity.
Today cancer will kill 25% of the host (human). The most common cancer nowadays:
Men :
-prostate cancer
-lung cancer
-colorecteral cancer
-bladder cancer
-pancreatic cancer.
-Leukemia.
Women:
-breast cancer
-lung cancer
-colorectal cancer
-ovarian cancer
-pancreatic cancer
-leukemia.
Tumors is cell than can be removed by surgery but if the cell spread as cancer cell and sized to other body parts and the chances to remove the cell almost 10% to 0%. Surgery is the method to control not to cure. The possibility the cancer cell to spread again is almost 50%. Today we so many medical technique to control the spread of the tumor such as Radiation therapy, Chemotherapy, Targeted therapies, Immunotherapy and Hormonal therapy.
The most influences of cancer is carcinogen which is the chemical products such as water chlorine, tobacco smoke, food preservative, and many more. Recently scientist found that viruses from animal can occurs cancer cell to spread in our body (such as bird flu).
To prevent cancer cell, we must live a healthy lifestyle, stop smoking , drink more natural water (life water) and take herbs as a nutritional supplements. Scientist believe by eating more nutritional substance from herbs can prevents cancer cell to live inside our body by almost 75%.
