			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft" title="More than 2 000 deaths by lung cancer" src="http://www.healblog.net/wp-content/uploads/Smoking-and-Lung-Cancer-Statistics.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="230" />Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous and mortality figures leaving are overwhelming. And while it affects both men and women are the last ones have a real advantage in this problem.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">800 thousand men and 300 women die each year due to contracted lung cancer. This was revealed by the Spanish Association of People Affected by Lung Cancer (Aeacap), which has been presented in Valencia in order to inform and sensitize people about the dangers of this disease and its underlying causes .</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The event was attended Aeacap presentation of the Minister of Health, Manuel Cervera, Sangonzalo Navy psychologist, Dr. and representative of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) Dolores Isla, and the doctor representative to the Spanish Group for Lung Cancer ( GECP) Massuti Bartomeu.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Aeacap already has 120 members. Its president, Bernard Gaspar announced that the intention is to be made ​​and information sessions begin with a health school which provide free workshops for people to leave the snuff and Educate the public about the dangers of smoking.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Before this we have developed a sensor that has been developed based on small gold particles to be a breakthrough in the fight against this terrible disease, its mode of procedure is easy and that just feel the breath of the patient can determine if you have of this terrible disease and start treatment .</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As you know once the tumor has been developed is very difficult to cure, so the patient is terminally ill and as we know most people go to the doctor when they feel serious symptoms of this disease.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hossam Haick, one of the doctors who participated in making the new sensor, said it is an excellent form of prevention because each patient to perform any routine checkup would be able to detect any lung cancer in its early stages, thanks the sensor, which will help save many lives.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Women with dense breasts, but not lobular involution (a change in breast tissue related to age) are at increased risk of breast cancer, according to a recent study found that publishes the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The study included 2,666 women 18 to 85, who had benign breast disease and who were followed for a mean of 13.3 years. During this period, 172 (6.5%) women developed breast cancer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in the United States, found that breast density and lobular involution were independent risk factors for breast cancer. &#8220;Our findings also reveal that having a combination of dense breasts without lobular involution was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer who have dense breasts or no fat and a complete involution, &#8221; they said. &#8220;The lobular involution is a physiological atrophy of the breast epithelium and is known to increase with advancing age, &#8220;he explained.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-430" title="Anti-cancer genome" src="http://www.gowarwick.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Anti-cancer-genome-300x230.jpg" alt="Anti-cancer genome" width="300" height="230" />Comparing the genome sequence of healthy and cancerous cells of 38 individuals diagnosed with multiple myeloma (an aggressive blood cancer) to create a molecular map with which to know what goes wrong in disease.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This progress, published in an article in the journal Nature, could serve to create more effective new drugs against cancer and determine what will be the response of some patients to drugs that are currently being tested for other types of cancers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To date, there had been many studies that analyzed in detail only a sample of cancer. Those responsible for the recently published article, a team of researchers led by Todd Golub, director of the cancer program at the Broad Institute in the U.S., have achieved the first published analysis of several complete genomes of the same type of cancer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to Golub, simply sequencing the genome of a tumor does not provide the necessary information, since you need to look through many cancer genomes and to discover and recurrent mutations at low frequencies to obtain emergent patterns.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, it will take time until they can obtain practical results. Currently, there are no trials of such drugs in this subgroup of patients with myeloma in place, although Golub indicates that there are discussions ongoing. &#8220;The field is progressing so we hope to sequence thousands of genomes of different types of cancer in the coming years,&#8221; said the expert.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/category/treatments-of-lung-cancer">TREATMENTS OF LUNG CANCER</a></strong></p>
<p>The prognosis and choice of treatment depend on the extent to which stage the cancer, tumor size or <a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/tag/type-of-lung-cancer">type of lung cancer</a>.</p>
<p>The surgery involves removing the tumor and some tissue from the surrounding area and is often used in the early stages of the disease</p>

<p><strong>OTHER INFORMATION</strong></p>
<p>The doctor needs to know the stage of the cancer to plan treatment.</p>
<p>The staging of non-small cell lung involves the following steps:</p>
<p>Occult stage. Cancer cells are found in sputum, but you can not find any tumor in the lung.</p>
<p>Stage 0. The cancer is located in one area, in some cell layers only, and no growth through the lining of the lung. Another term for this type of lung cancer is &#8220;carcinoma in situ.</p>
<p>Stage I. The cancer is found only in the lung and is surrounded by normal tissue.</p>
<p>Stage II The cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.</p>
<p>Stage III. The cancer has spread to the chest wall or diaphragm near the lung, or the cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the area that separates the two lungs (mediastinum) lymph nodes or across the chest, or neck.</p>
<p>Stage IV. The cancer has spread to other parts of the body.<br />
Recurrent cancer has come back after receiving treatment.</p>
<p>In the staging of small cell lung discusses the stages that follow:<br />
- Limited stage: Cancer is found only in one lung and nearby lymph nodes.<br />
Extensive stage cancer has spread outside the lung where it began to other tissues of the chest or other body parts.<br />
- Recurrent stage. The disease has recurred after being treated, whether in the lungs or other body part.</p>

Design or feeling of breathlessness<span id="more-296"></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/category/prevention-of-lung-cancer">PREVENTION OF LUNG CANCER</a></strong></p>
<p>The main way to prevent lung cancer is to quit smoking or avoid smoke snuff, in the case of non-smokers. It is also important to avoid potential carcinogens that may be in the normal environment (work and home).</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/category/types-of-lung-cancer">TYPES OF LUNG CANCER </a></strong></p>
<p>According to the appearance of the cells to be examined under a microscope, lung cancers can be divided into two types:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/tag/lung-cancer">Lung cancer non-small cell</a>. Is associated with having smoked before, having lived with a smoker or smokers or being exposed to radon. The main types of lung cancer non-small cell are named depending on the type of cells found in cancer: squamous cell carcinoma (also called squamous cell carcinoma), adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/tag/lung-cancer">Lung cancer small cell</a>. Found in people who smoke or used to smoke cigarettes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/category/diagnostic-of-lung-cancer">DIAGNOSTIC OF LUNG CANCER</a></strong></p>
<p>Because <a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/tag/symptoms-of-lung-cancer">lung cancer symptoms</a> often do not manifest until the disease is advanced, only 15 percent of cases are detected in its early stages. Many lung cancer cases are diagnosed in early stage by accident, which means they are detected as a result of medical tests carried out due to other unrelated health problem.</p>
<p>A biopsy of lung tissue serves to confirm or refute a possible diagnosis of cancer as well as provide valuable information to determine the appropriate treatment. If it is eventually detected lung cancer, additional tests will be conducted to determine how far the disease has spread.</p>
<p>Medical history and physical examination: The medical history was recorded risk factors and symptoms of the patient. The physical examination provides information about signs of lung cancer and other health problems.<br />
Imaging studies: These studies use X-rays, magnetic fields, sound waves or radioactive substances to create images inside the body. Frequently used imaging studies to detect lung cancer and determine the body part where you have spread. It performs a chest x-ray to see if there is any mass or spot on the lungs.</p>
<p>Computed tomography (CT): Gives more detailed information about the size, shape and position of a tumor and can help detect enlarged lymph nodes that may contain a cancer from the lung. CT scans are more sensitive than routine chest radiographs for detecting early-stage cancers.</p>
<p>Tests of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses powerful magnets and radio waves to make modern computers detailed cross-sectional images. These images are similar to those produced with computed tomography, but are even more accurate in detecting spread of lung cancer to the brain or spinal cord.</p>
<p>Positron emission tomography (PET) uses a radioactive tracer sensitive low dose that accumulates in cancerous tissues. Bone scans require the injection of a small amount of radioactive substance into a vein. This substance accumulates in abnormal areas of bone that may result from the spread of cancer.</p>
<p>Sputum cytology: is examined under the microscope a sample of sputum to see if it contains cancer cells. * Needle biopsy: A needle is inserted into the mass while the lungs are displayed on a computer tomograph. Then a sample of the mass and observed through a microscope for cancer cells.</p>
<p>Bronchoscopy: We introduce a flexible, lighted tube through the mouth into the bronchi. This procedure can help find tumors located centrally or obstructions in the lungs. Also be used to take biopsies or remove fluids to be examined with a microscope to see if they contain cancer cells.</p>
<p>Mediastinoscopy: Make a small cut in the neck and a lighted tube is inserted behind the sternum. Can use special tools that are handled through this tube to take a sample of tissue from the mediastinal lymph nodes (along the trachea and main areas of bronchial tubes). The observation of the samples under a microscope can show if cancer cells.</p>
<p>Bone marrow biopsy: A needle is used to remove a cylindrical core of bone of approximately 1.5 mm wide and 2.5 inches long. Usually, the sample is taken from the back of the hip bone and studied under a microscope to see if cancer cells.</p>
<p>Blood tests: It is often carried out some blood tests to help detect if lung cancer has spread to the liver or bones, as well as for diagnosing certain paraneoplastic syndromes.</p>

<p><strong>The lungs</strong> are a pair of organs that give oxygen to the body and expel carbon dioxide, a waste product produced by the body&#8217;s cells. The bronchi, meanwhile, are tubes through which inspired air reaches from the mouth to the lungs are divided into other smaller and smaller tubes, called bronchioles, to form the alveoli, which is where exchange occurs of venous blood gases.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/">Lung cancer</a> is caused by overgrowth of malignant cells in this organ, and if not diagnosed early can move to other organs of the body.<span id="more-294"></span></p>
<p>Most <a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/tag/lung-cancer">forms of lung cancer</a> in the cells of the lungs, but cancer can also spread (metastasize) to the lung from other parts of the body. Lung cancer is the most common, either in men or women, and most importantly, is the most common cause of cancer deaths in both men and women.</p>
<p><strong>CAUSES</strong></p>
<p>Snuff. Is the main cause. <a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/category/causes-of-lung-cancer">Snuff smoke</a>, with its high concentration of carcinogens, goes straight into the air and is inhaled by smokers as nonsmokers. Quitting smoking also significantly reduces the risk of other diseases related to snuff, such as heart disease, emphysema and chronic bronchitis.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/category/causes-of-lung-cancer">Effects of radon</a>. Radon is a radioactive gas that is found in rocks and soil of the earth, formed by the natural decay of radium. Being invisible and odorless, the only way to determine if one is exposed to the gas is to measure their levels. In addition, exposure to radon combined with smoking significantly increases the risk of lung cancer. Therefore, for smokers, exposure to radon is an even greater risk.</p>
<p>Exposure to carcinogens. <a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/tag/asbestos">Asbestos</a> is perhaps the best known industrial substance associated with lung cancer, but there are many others: uranium, arsenic, certain petroleum products, etc.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/category/causes-of-lung-cancer">Genetic predisposition</a>. It is known that cancer can be caused by mutations (changes) of DNA which activate oncogenes or inactivate the tumor suppressor genes. Some people inherit DNA mutations from their parents, which greatly increases the risk of developing cancer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/category/causes-of-lung-cancer">Cancer-causing agents</a> in the workplace. Among those at risk are miners who inhaled radioactive minerals such as uranium, and workers exposed to chemicals such as arsenic, vinyl chloride, nickel chromates, coal-based products, mustard gas and chloromethyl ethers.</p>
<p>Marijuana. <a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/category/causes-of-lung-cancer">Marijuana cigarettes</a> contain more tar than the snuff. Also, the smoke is inhaled deeply and held in the lungs for a long time. In addition, smoked marijuana cigarettes until the end where tar content is higher.<br />
Recurrent inflammation. Tuberculosis and some types of pneumonia often leave scars in the lung. These scars increase the risk that the person develops lung cancer called adenocarcinoma.</p>
<p>Talcum powder. Studies carried out in talc miners and millers suggest that they have a higher risk of developing the disease due to their exposure to industrial grade talc. This dust, in its natural form may contain asbestos.</p>
<p>Other types of exposure to mineral People with silicosis and berylliosis (lung disease caused by breathing in certain minerals) also have an increased risk of lung cancer.</p>
<p>Excess or deficiency of vitamin A. People who do not get enough vitamin A are at increased risk of lung cancer. On the other hand, taking too much vitamin A may also increase the risk of developing lung cancer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/category/causes-of-lung-cancer">Air pollution</a>. In some cities, air pollution may slightly increase the risk of lung cancer. This risk is much lower than that caused by smoking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://media.mercola.com/ImageServer/public/2009/June/6.11cancer.jpg" alt="the snuff as the main cause of lung cancer" />Not all <a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/the-snuff-as-t…of-lung-cancer.htm">lung cancer</a> cases are caused by snuff, but the fact is that the vast majority of cases it is. One of the best ways to avoid it is to quit smoking or simply never start smoking.</p>
<p>Lung cancer is not caused only by cigarette smoking, but also because smoking pipe and joints. The years a person smoked, the amount of snuff that smokes a day and even the intensity with which inhaled smoke are factors affecting the risk of lung cancer. Furthermore, the risk is much higher when inhaling secondhand smoke, this is also cigarette smoke from a smoking another person is nearby.<br />
<span id="more-290"></span><br />
<strong>Snuff harmful substances.</strong></p>
<p>The snuff has substances that promote <a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/the-snuff-as-t…of-lung-cancer.htm">cancer development</a>. These substances are called carcinogens cause specific alterations in the cells causing abnormally proliferate and give rise to malignant tumors. Some of these carcinogens act directly on the cell and others act through an indirect mechanism, ie, they need to undergo some change to act as producers of cancer.</p>
<p>Snuff the smoke of 43 substances are harmful, a major benzopyrene is found in an amount of 20-40 mg per cigarette and acts indirectly. Also nicotine is able to inhibit several receptors that suppress the <a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/the-snuff-as-t…of-lung-cancer.htm">growth of the lungs</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://my.clevelandclinic.org/PublishingImages/Thoracic/lung-cancer2.jpg" alt="lung cancer" />Lung cancer is the disease caused by the overgrowth of malignant cells in this organ, and if not diagnosed early can travel to other organs.</p>
<p>Symptoms:</p>
<p>The characteristic symptoms are:<br />
<span id="more-288"></span></p>
<ul>
<li> Cough or chest pain does not go away and may be accompanied by expectoration.</li>
<li>A breath wheezing, shortness of breath.</li>
<li>Coughing or spitting up blood.</li>
<li>Hoarseness or swelling of the face or neck.</li>
<li>Design or shortness of breath.</li>
<li>Repeated episodes of pneumonia and bronchitis.</li>
</ul>
<p>Although since the lungs are so large, the cancer can invade, grow and even spread them out of the lungs without any noticeable symptoms and without detection.</p>
<p>Types:</p>
<p>According to the appearance of the cells to be examined under a microscope, <a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/lung-cancer.htm ">lung cancers</a> can be divided into two types:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lung cancer, small cell. Is associated with having smoked before, having lived with a smoker or smokers or being exposed to radon. The main types of lung cancer non-small cell are named depending on the type of cells found in cancer: squamous cell carcinoma (also called squamous cell carcinoma), adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma.</li>
<li>Lung cancer, small cell. Found in people who smoke or used to smoke cigarettes.</li>
</ul>
<p>Treatment:</p>
<p>As with all cancers, lung cancer can be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, <a href="http://www.gowarwick.net/lung-cancer.htm ">radiation therapy</a> or the combination of the above. Treatment depends on the type of cancer and the extension.</p>
<p><strong>Surgery</strong></p>
<p>Surgery offers the best chance of curing lung cancer is the treatment of choice for early stage cancer in non-small cell, but not very effective for cancers at more advanced stages. Is performed when the tumor is confined to the lung and when the procedure can be performed safely. The surgery involves removing the cancer and lymph nodes in the chest. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are rarely a remedy, and usually are used to reduce advanced tumors unresectable.</p>
<p>The right lung has three lobes (right upper lobe, right middle lobe and right lower lobe) and left lung has two lobes (the left upper lobe and left lower lobe). Segmentectomy or wedge resection is the removal of part of the lobe, a lobectomy is the removal of the entire lobe and a pneumonectomy is the removal of the entire pulmón.La most common surgery for lung cancer is lobectomy.</p>
<p><strong>Chemotherapy</strong></p>
<p>Chemotherapy involves the administration of drugs that kill cancer, usually intravenously. It can be used to shrink a cancerous tumor before surgery to prevent cancer recurrence after surgery, or cancer patients who have extensive and can not be resected. There are different chemotherapy drugs and their side effects vary depending on them. Chemotherapy alone does not cure non-small cell cancer, but it is the primary treatment for small cell lung cancer.</p>
<p><strong>Radiation Therapy</strong></p>
<p>Radiation therapy is an X-ray treatment that takes little time and is performed daily for several weeks. Like chemotherapy, can be performed before surgery, after surgery or after surgery. Side effects are minimal and can include fatigue, skin burns similar to those that happen when you take the sun, esophagitis and nausea. Although radiation can cure lung cancer from 5% to 10% of patients receiving therapy were considered cured.</p>
<p><strong>Causes:</strong></p>
<p>The following can cause damage to lung cells and lead to lung cancer:</p>
<p>&#8220;Smoking cigarettes, cigars or pipes or passive smoking.</p>
<ul>
<li>Asbestos (a group of minerals that occur naturally in fiber and are used in certain industries.)</li>
<li>Radon (a radioactive gas, invisible, odorless and tasteless that is on earth and the stones).</li>
</ul>
<p>Risk Factors:</p>
<p>A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.</p>
<p>&#8220;Smoking cigars.<br />
Pipe or cigar smoking.<br />
&#8220;Being exposed to secondhand cigarette smoke (passive smoking), also called snuff smoke from the environment (the smoke in the air when someone else smokes.)<br />
&#8220;Exposure to radon.<br />
&#8220;Exposure to asbestos.<br />
&#8220;Lung diseases such as tuberculosis (TB).<br />
