CANCER
Into: (MUBARAK)
-Believe it or not,
cancer has afflicted people for several centuries. It is not a new disease.
Because of the early research that we hold, a greater knowledge of cancer discover
today. Cancer is the third-leading cause of death in the world, after heart
disease and accidents. Lung, breast and
colon are the three most common types of cancer.
Definition(MUBARAK)
:
-Cancer,
also called malignancy, is an abnormal growth of cells. There are more than 100
types of cancer.
History(MUBARAK)
:
-The history of cancer actually begins much
earlier. The world's oldest documented case of cancer hails from ancient Egypt,
in 1500 b.c. In ancient Egypt, it was believed cancer was caused by the Gods.
Other theories surfaced, such as cancer being
cause by trauma, parasites, and it was thought that cancer may spread
"like a liquid." It was later concluded that cancer spread through
malignant cells by German surgeon, Karl Thiersch.In 1926 a Nobel Prize was
wrongfully awarded for the discovery of the cause of stomach cancer a worm.
-How it
spreads in our the bodies : (SALAH)
All cancers begin in
cells. Our bodies are made up of more than a hundred million million
(100,000,000,000,000) cells. Cancer starts with changes in one cell or a small
group of cells. Cancer is a genetic disease—that is, it is caused by changes to
genes that control the way our cells function, especially how they grow and
divide. Each person’s cancer has a unique combination of genetic changes. As
the cancer continues to grow, additional changes will occur. A cancer that has
spread from the place where it first started to another place in the body is
called metastatic cancer. The process by which cancer cells spread to other
parts of the body is called metastasis.
Symptoms(SALAH):
-A symptom is a
signal that’s felt or noticed by the person who has it, but may not be easily
seen by anyone else. For example, weakness, aching, and feeling short of breath
may be symptoms of pneumonia. Cancer is a group of diseases that can cause
almost any sign or symptom. The signs and symptoms will depend on where the
cancer is, how big it is. If a cancer has spread, signs or symptoms may appear
in different parts of the body. Sometimes, it’s possible to find cancer before
having symptoms.
The popular
signs are :
Unexplained
weight loss
Most people with
cancer will lose weight at some point. When you lose weight for no known
reason, it’s called an unexplained weight loss. An unexplained weight loss of
10 pounds or more may be the first sign of cancer
Fever
Fever is very common
with cancer, but it more often happens after cancer has spread from where it
started. Almost all people with cancer will have fever at some time, especially
if the cancer or its treatment affects the immune system
Pain
A headache that does
not go away or get better with treatment may be a symptom of a brain cancer.
Most often, pain due to cancer means it has already spread from where it
started.
Causes
(SALAH):
Genetic changes that
cause cancer can be inherited from our parents. They can also arise during a
person’s lifetime as a result of errors that occur as cells divide or because
of damage to DNA caused by certain environmental exposures. Cancer-causing
environmental exposures include substances, such as the chemicals in tobacco
smoke, and radiation, such as rays from the sun. Cancer is more likely to
affect the very old. Also, the world has higher radiation levels now, and
people are also living more unhealthy lifestyles.
Diagnosis is the way to keep your-self in safe: (Mubarak)
The earlier cancer
is diagnosed and treated, the better the chance of its being cured. Some types
of cancer -- such as those of the skin, breast, mouth -- may be detected by
routine self-exam or other screening measures before the symptoms become
serious.. In a few cases, cancer is diagnosed as a result of evaluating or
treating other medical conditions. Cancer diagnosis begins with a thorough
physical exam and a complete medical history.
Types on caner >> the most common
in the world !! and there is a photo in the discktop! (MUBARAK)
-There are many types of
cancer for example lung, breast, colon and prostate cancer, those are the most common
cancer in the world.
Here you can find information about world
cancer statistics for the most common cancers in 2012.
There were an estimated 14.1 million cancer cases around the world
in 2012, of these 7.4 million cases were in men and 6.7 million in women. This
number is expected to increase to 24 million by 2035.
The cancer
in the UAE (SALAH) !
Many people do not
do medical examination in our country and these usually result in late
detections. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females in the UAE,
according to the Ministry of Health. Women under 40 should have physical
check-ups, and after the age of 40, women should request a mammogram every two
years.
The government of United
Arab Emirates has contributed to fight cancer on the Arab and international
levels, by providing the necessary treatment for cancer patients for free
inside and outside the country.
Care and Treatments
of these disease: (MUBARAK)
As already outlined,
world-class facilities such as the Imperial College London Diabetes Centre, the
Gulf International Cancer Centre, Dubai Hospital provide high standards of care
for people suffering from these diseases.
There are many
examples of treatments such as:
Surgery
Surgery can be used to diagnose, treat, or even
help prevent cancer in some cases. It often offers the greatest chance for
cure, especially if the cancer has not spread.
Secondly Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy (chemo) is the use of medicines or
drugs to treat cancer.
In addition Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-energy particles or
waves to destroy or damage cancer cells. It is one of the most common treatment
for cancer.
Conclusion(MUBARAK):
Those are some
example of some treatment. Moreover, Medicines can also lead to cancer.
