What is Cancer?

How is it that cancer occurs in our body? Both are produced in our body, fed with what we drink and what we
eat, our blood both of us and both of us alien 'enemies' formation and how is it developing? Which belongs to us,
how is invading us?

One of every four people in the world are afflicted with cancer mean now, at any period of his life. In the health
sector, in spite of all those dizzying developments in science and technology, the most advanced and ' people
who spend the most money', one of the country even in the United States each year, 1 million people are learning
that cancer. Moreover, world, science in the pathology, in fact, a famous satirical exceptions could be said '
CANCER DOS NOT READ BOOKS ' , _ outside of the exceptions, the cancer is increasingly known behavior,
expected it out of the overflowing. The most striking example of breast cancer. In the world, 1 in every 3
seconds, he learns that a woman with breast cancer. _ in my academy notes I took in medical school student
surgical course, 'breast cancer often have a cancer after menopause', I wrote, the same is true for ovarian cancers,
but expertise thesis of my subject dealt with breast and ovarian cancer seen at an early age, and only 200 in the
University 40. I pick up six cases. Moreover, they were the youngest of 17 year-old girl and had been one of two
nozzles, there was no breast cancer family history genetic history and in cancer we thought it was genetics, we
expect positive staining in cancer cells BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 paint was painted negative. Known so many things
right in time was inverted.

All over the world each year, 8 million people losing their lives due to cancer. If that occurs causes of this
disease, as well as too much information is still very much 'space' and secretive 'blind spots'. Smoking which is
one reason most familiar of thousands that it causes lung cancer scientific data available, ie no 'wonder' No, but it
still is exactly why the age of 80 can not disclose arrive in 2 packs of cigarettes for 60 years day 'smoke ' despite
cancer never grandfathers while, life has been touched cigarettes the reason that people with lung cancer. The
course is not only caused by smoking or environmental factors such as cigarette smoke not only carcinogenic, on
top of genetic factors comes into a job in this disease. But that is a scientific fact that 30% of cancer-related
deaths can be prevented, comes at the beginning of anti-nutritional factors . I want to start with the history of the
world's most famous physician Hippocrates said it was nice article: "The food you take medicine, whether the
food is medicine"

Cancer, Latin for 'crab' means, when spent lounging around with something and legs of a crab's legs with
simulated crab easy to leave these things as tissue stuck where crab legs.

Cancer called 'thing’, by people, I have witnessed it many times in my patients, but this 'thing' and the fact that
one of us belongs to us, not alien, but rather 'we sourced' and 'alien to us'. Cancer, a single cell, arises from the
growth and behavior disorders. Do not say to me would be behavioral disorders of cells, it is, as well as one
before the price of this behavioral disorder caused by cell that the cell of origin can as tissues and organs, and
then away other organs and eventually the pay the entire body. Just as an anarchist society can destroy a husband
... Cancer is the anarchy of a single individual cells.

In fact, in the body, consisting of all the structures we later 'tumor' call, tumor Latin meaning 'swelling', and the
scientific response 'neoplasia' meaning 'new generation'. Celebrity pathologist Willis, neoplasms in the following
terms: "in excess of normal tissue and does not coordinate with it, even after the warning that led to changes
continue in the same way an abnormal mass of tissue overgrowth." This does not mean that all of the malignant
new formations, many oil glands and benign skin tumors in the pathological sense to me, so they fall under the
heading of neoplasia but are not cancer.

Cancer, malignant tumor, malignant common name given to the new formation. So, the formation of a
'malignant' What does it mean, what is it that a tumor is benign or bad? Tumor formation in a 'malignant' or the
pathological term 'malignant' There are some conditions for our sayings. The first condition, resembling the
texture of origin. Cells of a tumor tissue, when examined under the microscope, how is similar to the cells of the
tissue of origin is so good-natured. This microscope six image is reflected in the behavior of tumor cells how
healthy person if it appears to the audience, the less harm it. For example, developing the muscle tissue in the
wall of the uterus in women 'fibroids', they appear smooth muscle cells of the uterine wall just under the
microscope, that is very similar to the tissue of origin and never kill patients. However, these cells change shape,
they move away from the normal uterine muscle, and they started to hurt in proportion as they are away from
people, to invade tissues and metastasize to distant organs potential increases. We in pathology, tissue resembled
condition received this origin 'anaplasia' call, looking at cases in this and microscopes microscopic term, jingle
ears and my colleagues and teachers, such as 'monster, cells which we call; beans grown, were prominent
nucleolus, nuclear membrane and degraded forms of deregulated cells. Even some pathological terms for some of
these cells, even if there are analogies in the world language pathology 'owl-eye view' like.

The only difference is that malignant tumors at the cellular level, the mechanism of organizing the cell is
disrupted. Cells, creating a texture, they are lined up a certain harmony, out you are a divine harmony of interests
of fans so the microscope under view, order and order to ... In a malignant tumor has a disorganization in cells,
anarchic are arranged in a structure, cell and tissue integrity You do not. At the same time in these cells, 'mitosis'
division into two state we call proliferation has increased and we have become more frequent captures the
memories of these two divisions in microscopic sections, 'mitotic index''s called. We can calculate the growth
rate of the tumor under the microscope according to the images. Tissue sections more 'mitosis' meaning' division
memories' of tumor growth we achieved speeds would be higher, therefore the size of a tumor that reached more
than twice a month probably 'is malignant. I would like to say that but that is the exception.

Malignant tumors, on the tissue in which they appear, with pathological term invasive, ie, invade, cell by cell,
they break the structure down to depths of tissue, destroy the tissues and organs, wrapped around major blood
vessels, a mass, the surgeon's 'Touch not' render the can or a large nerve fiber hold on may cause the patient to
feel unbearable pain.

Finally, 'metastasis' as we called it 'jumps to distant organs', the most tangible proof that a tumor is malignant.
Tumors can go many different ways from each other to distant organs; through the blood vessels, and lymphatic
fluids through the body cavity or 'spreading' the way ... spread through the membranes surrounding some gaps in
the body is also quite common. Peritoneum, the most common ways they choose to spread these tumors pleura
and meninges. For example, in women, ovarian cancer cells, often jumped peritoneum can be propagated to all
abdominal organs.

Some cancer cells while actively secrete hormones or hormone-like substances in the blood, and we can detect
these substances in cancer diagnosis, treatment during the course of this 'tumor markers' we can follow up with.
Occasionally, benign tumors can secrete hormones even benign tumors of the main tissue in this case because it
is more similarities, more frequently seen in benign tumors.

Why do we have cancer?

Medicine and science statistics, the answer to this must be the most studied questions. A little bit different groups
of people of different origins by examining the kinds of cancer that would have made clear that screening must
have been too much of the population, and indeed found that some types of cancer more prevalent in some
communities. The most striking example is the first time Sir Percival did Pot, cancer of the scrotum in chimney
sweeps with the discovery that more frequent was to set forth the substance could cause cancer. To the results of
scientific studies from this observation, the chronic exposure to chemical substances in the flue institutions
'scrotum' as we called it was found that it may cause cancer of the scrotum. This, environmental and cultural
differences, was the first step could be shown a tendency to different types of cancer, but eternally chemical
carcinogens, every step of modern life brought with it new carcinogenic agents. There are only 44 different
carcinogenic substances isolated from lipstick. Some of the chemicals in SPF products we take to protect our
skin even carcinogenic cancer causing effect of the sun's rays. Well you know your clothes from the dry cleaner
is full of carcinogens? Even walking down the street is swarming with carcinogenic substances around us, there
is the air we breathe exhaust fumes in traffic, carcinogenic substances in exhaust fumes while.

According to a survey conducted in the United States in close proximity to the highway, especially breast cancer
risk in women, sitting on the ground floors are increasing significantly. The main danger in the exhaust PAH say
we shorten 'Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons'. PAH, in fact, not only in ladies, men also are causes of breast
cancer, breast cancer incidence in males increased in recent years is also noteworthy. Moreover, PAH, not only
in exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke and barbecued available in meat cooked in charcoal grilled meat cooked in
your nose while eating from it 'burnt' smell, that does not point to many beautiful things. Polycyclic
hydrocarbons, we know you're doing damage to DNA molecules, DNA, the genetic code is encoded structure
means that unfortunately our cells and DNA damage cancer mean to say.

But despite all these depressing and scientific data table, I'm saying because we are not vulnerable to being
pessimistic ... carcinogenic still swimming in the sea, but most of us do not have cancer; because a well-
functioning a spectacular 'DNA repair mechanisms, our system, abnormal cells our with an extraordinary divine
mission seriousness' swept' scavenger cells and our dizzying could not be destroyed by even though the
scavenger cells of a series of abnormal ways within the complex cell cells to self-destruct forcing 'apoptosis'
meaning 'cell suicide' we have a system. I mention all of them in detail in this article, based on whether we keep
ourselves in a gilded cage, not make more sense to strengthen the defense system of our body, this gorgeous,
what do you think? You'll find all the secrets and tricks to do this in this article and in your kitchen.

Environmental Cancer Hazards

Environmental carcinogens are not going to be so many here, moreover, is not thought to be many more yet to be
determined carcinogen. These environmental factors, sometimes, sunlight, such as in the case of 'universal' and
sometimes, as in the asbestos example, 'local' is possible. Asbestos, some parts of the availability of land, the
pathology 'Mesothelioma' called lung and peritoneum, which is a natural mineral carcinogens cause cancer.
Cancer, as in the example of smoking and alcohol, sometimes with people's habits, and sometimes can be
associated with sexual life as well as in cervical cancer. Sometimes they can be professional trends against this
disease, inhaled or touched by chemicals in the workplace, many years later, people can return as cancer. As a
result, there are not many escape from environmental factors, people earn a living, live and enjoy everything that
can be done to get back to her 'cancer' is. This 'trapped situation' do not you get drag pessimism, the body against
cancer 'internal' defense mechanisms too, can get outside, this mechanism 'to feed' foods that ... I will tell them
individually in the following sections ...

Another data clearly demonstrate the importance of environmental factors in the occurrence of cancer seen in
very different proportions of the various parts of the world from each other in various types of cancer. For
example, in Japan, in general, much less than the incidence of cancer in America, while, in contrast, deaths due
to stomach cancer rate of America's exactly 8 times. A more interesting aspect is the ratio of Japanese living in
America for a long time, gradually approaching the same level with the Americans in every generation. Liver
cancer is relatively rare in the United States, whereas the number one cause of death in indigenous communities
in Africa. In this case, socio-economic level and consequently are quite low hygienic conditions associated with
infectious diseases commonly seen in African society. All of the statistical evidence, determined by the
geographical diversity of the show that much is environmental rather than genetic.

Molecular Mechanisms of Cancer

Cancer on the basis of 'non-lethal genetic damage' lies. The predominant pathologic opinion at the moment it
occurs on the molecular mechanisms of cancer. Up to this conclusion has been reached so many scientific studies
ever to be able to say that these fleeting sentence pat never been easier. Various chemicals, smoke, radiation,
viruses, etc. etc. All of the cells eventually throw the seed of cancer by genetic injury. Genetic damage is roughly
means damage to the cell's DNA.

Genetic damage, disrupt the balance needed in order to create groups of three regulatory genes cancer; stimulate
growth genes, and cancer suppressor genes that inhibit growth and 'apoptosis' we call genes regulating
programmed cell death. Here are three of this set order is kept in a very fine balance in the body and this
'adjustment' cancer occurs when broken. Programmed cell death, ie apoptosis, the self-destruction of abnormal
cells, with a good mimic 'the suicide', resulting in one of the most powerful body's natural defenses against
cancer. I will discuss this in more detail later than spectacular event.

DNA repair genes also play a very important role in preventing the formation of cancer. They are very important
because they are non-lethal damage in DNA repair; because, fatal damage already destroys the cells and only
cause cell loss, the main danger and damage non-fatal because they such damage results 'abnormal that' but the
uncontrolled proliferation of undead cells, ie, result in cancer.
