Today, breast cancer is usually diagnosed at an early stage when it is still confined to the breast and regional nodes. Here, we focus on stage 0 (ductal carcinoma in situ), I, II and IIIA disease, with a concise overview that will aid understanding of the risk of developing breast cancer, the essentials of diagnosis and preoperative assessment and the current approach to treatment and follow-up.
A research team, supported in part by a Penn State University Clinical and Translational Science Institute pilot grant award and research funding from the National Cancer Institute, has developed a promising cancer-fighting strategy for "reactivating" genes that cause cancer tumors to shrink and die. The discovery may aid in the development of an innovative anti-cancer drug that effectively targets unhealthy, cancerous tissue without damaging healthy, non-cancerous tissue and vital organs.

I made these for a lady going for her last treatment and she wanted to thank the nurses. Strawberry flavour cake and vanilla frosting.
An oral cancer screening does come with some disclaimers. These screenings could lead to more tests and may not just end at the dentist office. Read more: allseasonsdentalclinic.com/oral-cancer-screening/
As a two time cancer surviver, this was my first time to participate in the Relay for Life. I have lost two grandparents and several friends to this disease.But thanks be to God,He brought me and several of my friends and relatives through it.
Anal cancer is a rare tumor and constitutes 2 to 4% of all large intestine cancers. It can be either anal squamous cell cancer, Cloacogenic cancer, ano-rectal or anal adeno-carcinoma, or anal Melanoma.
Scientists have known about the link between human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer for decades. But it has been only a few years since the link between this virus and cancers of head and #neck has been discovered.
In most of the cases, the body fights HPV because it can pose a threat of cancer in the throat. But with a rise in the cancers of head and neck, scientists suspect that HPV may be the main culprit in this regard.
Now, the good news is that prevention of HPV requires you to follow only a few steps. And so, you can prevent the risk of cancer.
Way HPV spreads
According to an estimate, about 7% of the #Americans are infected with HPV. It is unclear how this virus spreads. One thing is clear about this virus that it doesn’t spread through casual contacts; i.e. sharing drinks.
It is highly unlikely that you know about the existence of this virus on the body. It is probably due to the fact that it doesn’t result in any #symptoms. And in majority of cases, the immune system clears this virus within two years. But if it stays in the body for an extended period of time, it can result in cancer.
How does this virus lead to cancer in head and neck?
There are about 40 types of HPV that can infect people. But only a few types of it can cause cancer. The type that can result in cervical cancer is HPV16. It’s the same virus that can result in head and neck cancers.
The attack of this virus can lead to the physical change in the cell in the area under attack. The immune system fights off these viruses to prevent them from doing further damage. If the immune system is unable to fight this infection, it can lead to the development of tumors which are most likely cancerous.
It is worth mentioning here that the process of development of cancerous tumors due to this virus is a long-term one. It may take more than 10 years for an infection due to HPV to turn into cancer. So, you normally get a fairly bigger time window to do something about it.
Vaccines
Vaccination is the best way to prevent this virus from making things worse for your health. Furthermore, it is quite important to prevent any infection from developing in the oral cavity, head, and neck area. The most commonly used vaccines in this regard are Gardasil and Cervarix. Both are very beneficial when it comes to cervical cancer prevention.
Mi apoyo a todas las mujeres que esten sufriendo esta enfermedad y a sus familiares. Hoy es el día internacional del cancer de mama y creo que hay que celebrarlo porque mas del 90% se curan y salen hacia adelante, y esperemos que pronto digamos que el 100%. ÁNIMO!!!

Pt came in with pain and mass in right testicle. Scheduled for removal the next day, but he was very disappointed in the fact that he would not be allowed to see it, as it had to go to pathology, so he asked me to take a picture for him. Images and testicle taken with patient's permission.

Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer among men, excluding skin cancer. It is the third leading cause of cancer death in men. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 235,000 new cases of Prostate Cancer will occur this year. However, Prostate Cancer can be treated effectively if it is caught in the early stages.
How much you know about Prostate Cancer detection? The following information explains what Prostate Cancer is and how to recognize early warning signs
The prostate gland is about the size of a walnut and is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. Tumors found in the prostate gland may be benign, or noncancerous, or they may be malignant, or cancerous. Benign tumors can usually be removed, seldom come back, and are not life-threatening. Tumors that are malignant are usually slow-growing, and mostly affect men over age 65. The cancer cells can break away from a malignant tumor and enter the bloodstream, causing the cancer to spread.
In general, all men are at risk for Prostate Cancer. A risk factor is anything that increases a person’s chance of developing a disease. However, having a risk factor does not mean you will get the disease. Some risk factors that cannot be changed are race, genetics, family history, and aging. Other risk factors that can be changed are diet, obesity, and having a vasectomy.
Some men with risk factors never develop Prostate Cancer, while some men without apparent risk factors develop the disease. The Prostate Cancer incidence is higher for African-American men than for any other racial or ethnic group, and conversely, Asian-Pacific Islanders have relatively low rates of Prostate Cancer.
Symptoms Linked To Prostate Cancer Are:
* Frequent urination
* Inability to urinate
* Painful or Burning Urination
* Blood in the urine or semen
* Pain in the lower pelvic area
* Difficulty having an erection
* Having a painful ejaculation
* Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs
* Unexplained Weight Loss
A man who has these symptoms should see a physician immediately. Any of these symptoms could be caused by Prostate Cancer or by a benign condition, such as a bladder or urinary tract infection or BPH - Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, a condition where the prostate becomes enlarged - aka: Enlarged Prostate.
Screening for Prostate Cancer usually includes two tests, a blood test for PSA:Prostate-Specific Antigen and a DRE: Digital Rectal Exam.
* A PSA test is sent to the lab to measure for levels of PSA in the blood, which usually is elevated in men with Prostate Cancer (but, sometimes elevated in BPH or infection as well).
* The DRE is a test in which a physician inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into the rectum and feels the prostate through the rectal wall.
Testing for Prostate Cancer may include transrectal ultrasound (TRUS uses sound waves to create an image to visually inspect for abnormal conditions) or computed tomography (CT scan uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images).
When any of these tests indicate that cancer may be present, a biopsy will be required. A biopsy is a procedure in which tissue samples are removed surgically from the Prostate Gland to determine if cancer cells are present.
Cancer Research continues to add valuable information to the understanding of Prostate Cancer.
* Health experts are looking for new ways to prevent Prostate Cancer, but they are not in agreement on the risks for developing the disease.
* The American Cancer Society recommends that men eat a diet high in plant sources (tomatoes, pink grapefruit, and watermelon) and low in red meat (high-fat and processed).
* A study at the National Cancer Institute is looking at selenium and Vitamin E supplementation as a prevention measure.
* Because obesity is a risk factor, experts recommend exercise to lower the risk of Prostate Cancer.
* Prostate Cancer is often found confined to the prostate gland or regional area, and the majority of patients with this type of cancer can live for years with no problems.
* With early detection and improved treatment, the five-year survival rate for Prostate Cancer found in a local or regional state is 100 percent.
* Over the past 20 years, the five-year survival rate for all stages has increased from 67 percent to 98 percent.
Incorporate your knowledge regarding Prostate Cancer prevention and detection into a healthy lifestyle.
Become knowledgeable about Prostate Cancer risk factors that may apply to you, and take appropriate actions including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease. Experts recommend that you contact your physician to develop a plan for Prostate Cancer screening based on your personal profile.
