Types Of Cancer
Cancer is one of those words that all the horrors. There are various forms of cancer, and for each type of cancer is really bad news. All types of cancer is life-threatening (this is what makes them so scary). Even with all the medical advances, we do not yet have a complete cure for all types of cancer. But there is continuing research on it to find better treatments for cancer, and increase our knowledge about cancer in general. Although there are currently available for the treatment of certain types of cancer, these treatments work only if the cancer is detected in the early stages.
Types of Cancer
Overall, cancer is named after the part of the body where it originates. The most common types of cancer are breast, prostate, lung cancer and cancer of the colon or rectum. But that can vary in different geographical areas, etc., these four types of cancer, it seems that the more is known. In other types of cancer include: cervical cancer, cancer of the pancreas, bone cancer, brain cancer, skin cancer, stomach cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer and testicular cancer. In addition, cancer is also classified as primary and secondary based on whether it comes from a part of the body itself or spread from another part of the body.
The diagnosis of various forms of cancer
It is not only to treat various forms of cancer, it is difficult (or impossible), but also their detection (or diagnosis). In fact, is correct and early diagnosis is the first step to treat all forms of cancer. Earlier you can detect cancer, the more its effective treatment.
The treatment of various forms of cancer
Although treatment of all forms of cancer, it is not possible, some cancers can be cured diagnosed early enough such as the detection of malignancy, it is just starting to develop. Treatment of cancer is in many ways. These range from surgery to radiation therapy, chemotherapy and biological therapy. Hormone therapy are also gaining popularity in the treatment of certain types of cancer. Bone marrow transplantation and many other new procedures for the treatment of cancer, is constantly trying and analyzed in order to obtain a no-evidence for the treatment of cancer.
Research on the diagnosis of various forms of cancer
In the light of the significant number of deaths caused every year by various forms of cancer has led to a lot of focus will be placed on research in the field of diagnosis and treatment of all forms of cancer. In the meantime, we can only hope that there will soon be a complete cure is available for most types of cancer (if not all forms of cancer)
