Cancer Symptoms and Remedies

Introduction

In medical terms cancer is known as malignant neoplasis. This is a group of diseases which are caused due to unregulated cell growth. In this the cells divide and grow at an uncontrollable rate which forms tumors at a later stage and may affect various body parts at a later stage. It may even spread to other body parts through the blood stream. It is not that all the tumors .shall converts to cancer but yes most of them do. There are said to be 200 cancers found that affect the human beings. There are many reasons for the cancer but no such specific reason has been found. But intake of tobacco, irregular exercise and excess of fat deposit are some of the quoted reasons for the cancer. Even the environment is again a contributing factor to cancer. These factors can sometimes damage the internal body parts fully to great extent. They combine with genes to cause mutations and alter on develop cancerous to cause great harms. Large amount of exposure to sunlight may even cause cancers and avoiding vaccination of many diseases is yet another cause. So, prefer a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables and less consumption of tobacco and vaccination against may of the infected disease can really help you avoid cancer.

Symptoms

         

There are no such specific signs and symptoms for cancer. Like a rash on child’s body may be a sign of so many things. It could be a simple injury or measles as well or may be some poison that may result into some serious outcome. The signs and symptoms of cancer depend upon the region where the cancer is there or where the cell growth has started extensively. But if it has spread to the whole body then the symptoms could be seen throughout the body. And if there is cancerous growth or tumor detected in the brain region then there may be multiple signs and symptoms for that.

In some case there may not any symptoms seen until the growth is really large. For example in pancreatic region there may not be any sign till it has really grown to a great extent and has even affected nearby region or vessels of blood or nervous system. Some of them may grow around the bile duct and may cause problems in the secretion of bile. This may result in change of the color of eyes and skin and may result in jaundice. But this is the initial stage there may be some advanced results of it as well.

In many other cases there may be signs of feverishness or less energy because cancer reduces energy level to great extent and may result in decrease of activity of the body. In some cases some body organs may release some toxins feeding the other parts of the body and may result to the cancer spread to the other parts as well. This may cause dizziness, weakening of muscles and energy drain out.

Causes

The primary reasons of cancer are the environmental reasons. 90-95% of the case has been found to be cause due to environmental reasons and rest due to some genital reasons. The most contributing reasons of cancer are tobacco, diet, excess fat in the body, infections , exposure to radiations, lots of stress and depression , no physical activity and pollution in the environment. It is difficult to find what is the actual reason of the cancer which occurred to a particular person. Like for a tobacco consuming person there may be chances of lung cancer. But generally due to air pollution or radiations there may already be chances of lung cancer to a common person.  

Chemical consumption

Alcohol, tobacco, smoking are the major reasons of the cancer. So, chemical consumptions are the major causes to cancer and they adversely affect the body part affected and may even spread in the other body parts.

Diet and exercise

Diet is the major control factor of every health related issue. And the second is the inactivity.  Obesity and no exercise have been found to cause 30-35% of deaths. Increase of excessive weight effects the overall composition of the body. It weakens the immune system and the endocrine system. This is all due to over nutrition. Diets with low fat and whole grains and vegetables and fruits and are linked to growth of cancers. Even intake of diet with large quantity of salt may lead to gastric cancers which are linked to liver cancers. Cancer may vary depending upon the region and its dietary habits. Like gastric cancer is high in Japan and colon cancer is high in Unites states.

Diagnosis

Many of the cancers have been recognized due to some signs or symptoms found after screening. There is no pre-defined diagnosis. A pathologist is a person who determines the cancer in an individual. People who are doubted to have cancer undergo certain medical tests which include the common blood tests, CT scans, X-rays and the endoscopy. Detection of cancer is said to increase the risks of suicide in many people.

Thus there is no fix diagnosis of the cancer detection. It just some test is done when the same symptoms appear again and again and then the doctor suggests finding out the real reason behind it. But even if detected with cancer you need not to lose hope because there are means to prevent and cure it also.

Treatment and prevention

Cancer can be prevented by taking certain measures and steps. Although large number of cancers have been reported due to environmental reasons. Cancer is considered to be a controllable disease since it can be prevented by taking some strict actions and measures. Many cancer deaths can be avoided provide they take proper diet, avoid intake of harmful chemicals such as tobacco and avoid excess exposure to radiations and sunlight.

Dietary control

Start having healthy food and diets and exercise regularly. This helps to maintain a proper balance in the body. Many cases of colon cancer and pancreatic cancer can be avoided if you consume salt in the right quantity.
