1. Surgery (taking out the cancer)
2. Radiation therapy (using high-dose x-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells)
3. Hormone therapy (using hormones to stop cancer cell growth)
4. Chemotherapy (using drugs to kill cancer cells)
5. Biological therapy (using the body’s immune system to fight cancer)

Surgery is one of the common treatments for prostate cancer. Your doctor may remove the cancer using one of the following. Surgery is reseved for those patients in good health, with less than 70 years and who choose surgery as their best option.

Radical prostatectomy:

Is the removal of the prostate and some tissue around it. The doctor can perform surgery through an incision in the area between the scrotum and anus (perineum) using an operation known as perineal prostatectomy or through an incision in the lower abdomen using an operation known as
retropubic prostatectomy. Radical prostatectomy is performed only if the cancer has not spread outside the prostate. Usually, before carrying out the prostatectomy, the doctor will perform surgery to remove pelvic lymph nodes in order to determine the presence of cancer. This procedure is called lymph node dissection
pelvic lymph. If the lymph nodes contain cancer, the doctor usually no fee prostatectomy and may recommend other therapy. Men who have been treated with surgery may suffer from impotence and spillage of urine from the bladder.

Transurethral resection

Is the removal of prostate cancer using an instrument with a small wire loop on the end which is inserted into the prostate through the urethra. This operation is sometimes done to relieve symptoms caused by the tumor before further treatment or apply to men who can not support a radical prostatectomy due to age or other disease.

Sometimes after a lumpectomy, radiation therapy is internal rather than external. Internal radiation therapy involves the application of radioactive material contained in a thin metal wires or tubes that are implanted within the breast during a minor operation. These implants are then removed after a short period of time without leaving any other radioactive material. This type of radiation therapy requires hospitalization.

The radiation treatment for breast cancer may cause some side effects such as flushing, nausea, fatigue definition and definition. These side effects usually disappear once the treatment, although the fatigue may continue for some months. It is important that you talk to your doctor if you experience nausea or fatigue, as there is treatment in both cases (see also the guidance of symptoms that include on this website).

Radiation therapy (also known as radiation, X-ray therapy, or irradiation) uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. These rays typically comes from a machine more powerful than standard X-ray equipment used in hospitals. The X-ray beam is directed with great precision to the location of the tumor to avoid damaging effects on other body parts.

Radiation therapy is frequently administered as supportive therapy after breast cancer surgery to increase the probability to eliminate any remaining cancer cells. Support This treatment is called adjuvant radiotherapy. For example, after a definition removing only the tumor, adjuvant radiotherapy can be administered in the remaining breast tissue. In addition, radiation therapy can be administered in the thoracic region after a mastectomy definition. If the lymph nodes are not removed when performing the surgery, radiation therapy can also be given in the axillary area.

For the effective radiation treatment is necessary that the tumor receives an adequate supply of oxygen. Scientists believe that the presence of oxygen enhances the effects of radiation on tumor cells. According to some physicians, the treatment of anemia by blood transfusion or use of the hormone erythropoietin definiciónantes and during radiotherapy may increase the effectiveness of treatment.

However, according to Dr. Ir. Francisca Zakaria, MSc, researcher and lecturer at Agricultural Technology (Fateta) Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) in Bogor, cancer could be prevented, and this is done by improving the food consumption.

“Among them are fruits and vegetables are colored green like broccoli, green cincau pariah and that contains chlorophyll. Also, carrots, tomatoes, oranges and other foods that are rich orange carotene cancer prevention is also very helpful,” he said.

Exposure Francisca Zakaria is never communicated in a seminar entitled “Understanding, Prevention and Countermeasures Cancer in Women” at the Auditorium Rectorate Campus IPB Darmaga.

He further explained that cancer is not contagious disease that originated from the changes in genetic material, or DNA, which exist in normal cells and cells producing yag no longer the same as its parent.

“This is called gene mutation and 15 percent of which occur because of heredity, while the rest of the body caused by external factors such as viruses, continuous infections, air pollution, radiation, and foreign chemicals in food,” he said.

He said the cell which genes have mutated, if it could survive would be the forerunner of the tumor or cancer, because if he could continue his life and divide to grow it will become the tumor tissue.

“It’s definitely very dangerous because it can undermine the body and suck the nutrients as much as possible and make the blood vessels themselves,” he said.

By looking at the data shows that 85 percent of cancers caused by external factors, he said, the cancer could have been prevented.

Emphasized that it can be done by improving the food consumption in order to obtain all the 44 kinds of nutrients needed by the body in sufficient and available at all times.

He reminded that the human body is basically having a miraculous immune system can eradicate all kinds of microorganisms including viruses and also kill cancer cells.

Therefore, he said, the immune system needs adequate nutrients so it can be a “Natural Killer” (natural killer) cells in which mutated and infected with the virus.

One that can stimulate the activity of these immune system such as ginger and several kinds of mushrooms.

The other way is to prevent the entry of carcinogenic compounds by avoiding foods that contain pesticide residues, heavy metals, chemicals in food, medicines Excessive dust, and industrial compounds from vehicle exhaust, and cigarette smoke.

In addition, also by improving the body’s detoxification system and also by consuming foods that contain antioxidants such as carotenoids, vitamin A, C, E, compound “flavonoids”, “isoflavones”, “terpenoid”, “isotionoid”, “chlorophyll”, and ” phenol “simple shield that can be avoided.

According to him, these foods containing these substances was not difficult to find and consume as much food materials are common everyday materials, namely vegetables and fruits that are colored green and orange.

He suggested that consumption of vegetables and fruits at least reach 400-800 grams per day to get the antioxidant substances.

To center nutrition and protein should be obtained through fish, white meat, eggs, milk, eggs and nuts. While for carbohydrates, consumption of rice , flour from whole wheat, cassava, sweet potato, taro, or bananas.

Especially for fat consumption, he warns that using vegetable fats rich in linoleic, and oleic acid that is widely available in corn, soybean, and avocado.

Via the bloodstream or lymphatic system, often the tumor cells and the toxins they produce out of the herd and spread to other parts of the body. Cells that spread will then grow in a new place, which eventually form a malignant tumor cells or a bunch of new cancers. This process is called metastasis.

Breast cancer including cancer among the most widely discussed because of ferocity that often ended in death.

Breast cancer will show the uniqueness in the attack sufferer.Malignancy was demonstrated by attacking cancer cells normal surrounding especially the weak cells.  cancer cells grow very rapidly, so that patients will be enlarged breasts are not as usual.

While attacking the surrounding normal cells, cancer also produce toxins and remove cancer cells from the mother who broke out. Toxins and cancer cells will spread along the blood flow. Hence we often find cancers that grow in other places as a result. In cancer, severe bleeding often occurs

In Indonesia the number of breast cancer patients occupy the second level after cervical cancer.

Why someone has cancer, she said DO NOT KNOW
But medically it can be said that one chance to get cancer because the carcinogens, immune and psychological aspects.

That cancer cells constantly develop and can not die.

Cancer cells can not be returned to normal (irreversible).

Mode of treatment: surgery, radiation, and chemical therapy.

Possible recovery from cancer pain is relatively very small.

The symptoms, which indicates the attack Canc

which can generally be seen and felt:
1. Arising in the breast lump that can be touched by hand, the longer it is increasingly hardened lumps and irregular shape
2. Shape, size or weight of one breast changes
3. Small lump under the armpit arise
4. Out of blood, pus or watery fluid from the nipple
5. Breast skin puckered like an orange peel
6. Shape or direction of nipple changes, such as depressed nipples into

Cancer as Abnormal Cells
Breast cancers arise as a result of abnormal cells formed on the breast with uncontrolled speed and irregular. Cells that are a result of gene mutations with changes in shape, size and function, as our body cells of the original.
This gene mutation is triggered by the presence of a foreign material into the body, such as food preservatives, MSG, radioactive, oxidants, or carcinogenic properties produced by the body’s own naturally. But the latter is very rare because the body naturally neutralizes carcinogenic substances produced by the body.

With the flow of blood and lymph flow, the cancer cells and toxins they produce can spread around the body like bones, lungs, and liver unnoticed by the patient. Therefore not surprising if the breast cancer patients found a lump in the armpit lymph nodes or other lump. In fact, there are also cancer in the liver and lungs as metastasisnya cancer. Patients often cough that never healed or prolonged shortness of breath.

When we are declared by the doctors tested positive for cancer, the first reaction that emerges is extraordinary fear and despair, especially if the cancer is already in an advanced stage. We suggest that excessive fear of this should be avoided, because this fear can weaken our psyche that ultimately may decrease the body’s immune or immunitas resources that naturally exist in the body. Surrender and begin to understand the following cancer treatments to be done, will be helpful in treating this cancer.
Prevention

Breast cancer can be prevented by:
1. Avoid using a bra that is too tight for a long time
2. Avoid heavy smoking and alcohol consumption
3. Perform breast self examination every month
4. Avoid too much exposed to x-rays or other types of radiation
5. Keep your health by consuming fruits and vegetables fresh. We recommend that frequent consumption of soy and derivatives, such as tofu, tempeh, and soy milk, because soy contains phyto estrogens, namely genistein, which is beneficial for reducing the risk of breast cancer
6. Perform regular exercise
7. Avoid eating too many high fat foods
8. Overcome stress as well, such as through relaxation and meditation
9. Eat fresh vegetable turmeric puti (Intersection mango) are more or less two knuckles every day

Sense of the extraordinary pain that cancer is one of prolonged suffering that must be borne by patients with cancer. The handling of this pain, in the modern medical world is in fact one of the most intractable problems
. From observation, the difficulty of handling the problem of pain is caused by the presence of subjective and psychological factors. Besides, most drugs used to combat pain can lead to drug dependency and trigger atherogenic disease.

A tumor is any alteration of tissue

A tumor can be benign or malignant.

What matters is that benign tumor cells do not spread to other parts of the body. Cells from benign tumors in addition to always stay together, they are often surrounded by a membrane.

Malignant tumors can invade and damage tissues and organs near the tumor, or discard it and travel long distances

Causes and Risk Factors

In general, tumors appear when there is a problem with cell division. Generally, the division of cells in the body is controlled by a very strict so-called Oncogenes or protooncogenes.

If you alter the balance of cell division and death, can form a tumor.

The best known causes are:

* Snuff
* Benzene and other chemicals
* Excessive alcohol intake
* Excessive exposure to sunlight
* Inactivity (sedentary lifestyle)
* Obesity
* Radiation
* Certain viruses can play an important role, as the human papilloma virus in cervical cancer and hepatitis B virus in liver cancer

Symptoms

Some tumors are asymptomatic, but symptoms that occur most often are:

* Shivers
Fatigue
* Fever
* Loss of appetite
* Malaise
* Night sweats around in body
* Weight Loss

Another type of cancer that affects the bone is Ewing’s sarcoma. It is similar to osteosarcoma because it also affects adolescents and young adults, and usually attacks the legs or pelvis.

Most teens with Ewing’s sarcoma receiving chemotherapy and undergoing surgery. Some patients also need lightning, in addition to surgery or in lieu thereof, to be sure to destroy the remaining cells. Ewing’s sarcoma generally responds well to chemotherapy and radiation.

Osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma share common risk factors and the same side effects of treatment. The chances of recovery depend on the location of the tumor, its size and whether it has spread. But both types of bone cancer respond well to treatment and, in many cases are curable.

Leukemia

Leukemia is one of the most common cancers in childhood. Appears when the bone marrow is invaded by large numbers of abnormal white blood cells called leukemic blasts and in some cases, it enters the bloodstream.

Because these abnormal blood cells have defects, it helps protect the body against infections, as do normal white blood cells. And because they grow out of control, take over the bone marrow and interfere with the production of other types of cells important in blood flow, like red blood cells (which carry oxygen) and platelets (which allow blood clotting) .

Leukemia causes problems like bleeding, anemia (low red blood cell count), bone pain and infections. It can also spread to other parts of the body such as lymph nodes, liver, spleen, brain and in the case of men, the testicles.

The most common types of leukemia in teens are acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Virtually all persons with ALL and AML are treated with chemotherapy and some also receive stem cell transplants. During this procedure, get new stem cells from another person. Bone marrow transplants are a common form of stem cell transplantation. Some people also receive radiation. The duration of treatment and medications administered rates vary by type of leukemia.

The chances of cure of certain types of leukemia are very good. With proper treatment, most patients with ALL and many patients with AML are cured of the disease and it does not reappear.

1. Reproductive factors

Reproductive characteristics associated with risk of breast cancer is nuliparitas, menarche at a young age, menopause at older age, and her first pregnancy at older age. The main risk of breast cancer is age. Estimated, the period between the occurrence of first menstruation to the age at first pregnancy is a window of initiation of breast cancer development. Are anatomically and functionally, will experience breast atrophy with age. Less than 25% of breast cancer occurred before menopause during which the tumor is estimated onset occurred long before the occurrence of clinical changes.

2. Use of hormone
The hormone estrogen associated with breast cancer. Reports from the Harvard School of Public Health stated that there was an increase meaningful breast cancer in users of estrogen replacement therapy. A metaanalisis stated that although there is no risk of breast cancer in oral contraceptive users, women who use this drug for a long time have a higher risk for this cancer before menopause.

3. Fibrocystic disease
In women with adenosis, fibroadenomas, and fibrosis, there is no increased risk of breast cancer. In hiperplasis and papilloma, slightly increased risk of 1.5 to 2 times. Meanwhile, in atypical hyperplasia, the risk increased to 5 times.

4. Obesity
There is a positive relationship between weight and body shape with breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Variation of the frequency of this cancer in Western countries and not the West as well as frequency changes after migration indicates that there is the influence of diet on the occurrence of this malignancy.

5. Fat consumption
Estimated fat consumption as a risk factor for breast cancer. Willet et al., Perform a prospective study over 8 years of fat and fiber consumption in relation to risk of breast cancer in women aged 34 to 59 years.

6. Radiation
Exposure to ionizing radiation during or after puberty increase the risk of breast cancer. From several studies conducted concluded that cancer risk is linearly related to radiation dose and age when the exposure.

7. Family history and genetic factors
Family history is an important component in the history of the patient to be carried out screening for breast cancer. There is an increased risk of this malignancy in women who have breast cancer families. In genetic studies found that breast cancer associated with specific genes. If there BRCA 1, which is a breast cancer gene suseptibilitas, the probability of occurring breast cancer by 60% at the age of 50 years and 85% at the age of 70 years.

World health agencies (WHO) say 8-9 per cent of women will experience breast cancer in her life. Breast cancer can be caused by many things, although the real cause of cancer rely on risk factors alone, the direct cause is not known for sure. Even so, with away from the risk factors, cancer risk goes down.

The world’s cancer experts have recently published a report on the causes and prevention of cancer in a book entitled Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: A Global Perspective.

For breast cancer, among other measures mentioned infants at birth take effect on the risk of breast cancer. This is partly because the accumulation of body fat a person has occurred since birth. The experts argued that accumulate fat will affect the hormone which in turn make cells grow abnormally and become cancerous.

Another factor is the menstrual period, which got an early first menstrual period (less than 11 years) or late menopause (age above 60 years). Women who have conditions that would have the reproductive hormone estrogen exposure longer in his life so that the growth potential of cancer is also greater

Factors that also increase the risk for second cancers suffered by most Indonesian women include heredity, age is growing, not having children, and her first pregnancy over 30 years.

For women who have risk factors on the alert is necessary, among others, by doing regular health checks. Routine inspection early stages can be done alone at home. How to touch her breasts and under the armpit area to find a lump. Breast cancer can also be detected with ultrasound and mammography for women aged 35 years and over.

The report also mentioned, if managed well can we actually reduce the risk of breast cancer. For example by running a healthy lifestyle, such as regular exercise, avoid smoking and alcohol, and fatty foods. Breastfeeding is also recommended to reduce the risk of breast cancer.

The word cancer is common among all, especially if we speak in relation to food, there are still many myths about the causes that cause it.

Each cancer patient is special, but look broadly common risk factors that recur in most cases:

• Aging: While children, teens and adults can suffer, it is common that after 65 years of age becomes a risk factor.

• The snuff: people who smoke are more likely to develop some form of cancer, besides being a habit that can be avoided.

• The sun’s rays: ultraviolet radiation, both the Sun and from tanning beds, cause premature aging and skin damage. We recommend sun exposure in moderation and at convenient times after the 17 pm or before 11 pm.

• Ionizing radiation: the cellular damage resulting from sources like X-rays, radioactive fallout, radon gas or radiation in excess, not on the scale used for the treatment of cancer.

• Certain chemicals and substances: the constant exposure to asbestos, benzene, benzidine, cadmium, nickel and vinyl chloride at work can cause cancer.

• Some viruses and bacteria are produced by infection with human papilloma virus, hepatitis B and C, leukemia, Epstein Barr virus, HIV, Helicobacter pylori and human herpesvirus 8.

• Use of menopausal hormone therapy.

• History of cancer in the family: the risk of inheriting the mutation of genes in cells.

• Excessive alcohol, the right serving is 1 cup per day for women and 2 drinks for men per day.

• Unbalanced diet, physical inactivity and overweight: increasingly it is found that the diet rich in saturated fats, junk food and sedentary lifestyle is one of the causes of recurrent occurrence of cancer today. Eat well, varied and quality, to accompany the diet with exercise and maintain proper weight are the tools we have at our disposal even prevent cancer.
