Important Breast Cancer Terms You Need to be Familiar With

It is a little difficult to flow or understand health personnel’s when they begin to reel out their terms or jargons when it come to breast cancer related issues. This write-up is intended to water down all the related terms associated with breast cancer; Happy reading:

• Adenocarcinoma: Malignant tumor originating in glandular (Relating to or affecting or functioning as a gland) epithelium (Membranous tissue covering internal organs and other internal surfaces of the body). This is a type of cancer that starts in glandular tissue (tissue that makes and secretes a substance).

• Carcinoma: Any malignant tumor derived from epithelial tissue; one of the four major types of cancer. This term is employed to identify a cancer that begins in the lining layer of organs such as the breast. At least 80% of all cancers are carcinomas, and almost all breast cancers are carcinomas.

• Invasive (infiltrating) carcinoma: An invasive carcinoma is a state of cancerous attack or invasion that has already penetrated deep and beyond the layer of cells where it started from.

• Carcinoma in situ: A cluster of malignant cells that has not yet invaded the deeper epithelial tissue or spread to other parts of the body.

• Sarcoma: A usually malignant tumor arising from connective tissue (bone or muscle etc.); one of the four major types of cancer. They start from connective tissues such as muscle tissue, fat tissue or blood vessels.

]]>

• Adjuvant therapy: Treatment used in addition to the main treatment. The term usually refers to hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy added after surgery to increase the chances of curing the disease or keeping it in check.

• Antibody: Any of a large variety of proteins normally present in the body or produced in response to an antigen which it neutralizes, thus producing an immune response.

• Antigen: Any substance (as a toxin or enzyme) that stimulates an immune response in the body (especially the production of antibodies)

• Blood Brain Barrier: A mechanism that creates a barrier between brain tissues and circulating blood; serves to protect the central nervous system. “the brain was protected from the large molecules of the virus by the blood-brain barrier”

• Cell: the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. The basic unit of which all living things are made. The processes that control formation of new cells and death of old cells are disrupted in cancer.

• Chemotherapy: Systemic treatment with drugs to destroy cancer cells. It is often administered intravenously and can be given as single therapy or in combination with multiple drugs at once. Chemotherapy can be administered concurrently or sequentially with other treatments and in addition to surgery or radiation to treat cancer when it has spread, when it has come back (recurred), or when there is a strong chance that it could recur.

• Inflammatory Breast Cancer: A type of invasive breast cancer with spread to lymphatic vessels in the skin covering the breast. The skin of the affected breast is red, feels warm, and may thicken to the consistency of an orange peel. About 1-6 percent of all breast cancer is inflammatory breast cancer.

• Intravenous: Within or by means of a vein. A method of supplying fluids or medications using a needle inserted in a vein.

• Metastasis: The spreading of a disease to another part of the body; also known as advanced cancer. A jargon or term describing stages of cancer in which the disease has spread from the primary site to other parts of the body.

• Neoadjuvant therapy: Systemic therapy, such as chemotherapy or hormone therapy, given before surgery. This can shrink some breast cancers, so that surgical removal can be accomplished with a less extensive operation than would otherwise be needed.

• Oncologist: A specialist in oncology, A doctor with special training in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

• Radiation therapy: (medicine) the treatment of disease (especially cancer) by exposure to a radioactive substance.

• Tumor: An abnormal new mass of tissue that serves no purpose.

• Volumetric Analysis: A quantitative calculation of the space taken up by the metastatic lesion used to compare over time and assess growth or shrinkage.

All you need to know about breast cancer

 

Breast cancer is devastating for everyone involved. It is the second most common type of cancer, coming only after lung cancer. It is the most common type of cancer in women. With this said, breast cancer is the fifth most common cause of death by cancer. And here’s something I bet you did not know: breast cancer accounts for about 1 percent of cancer deaths in men. Yes that’s right, men can get breast cancer too.

What is breast cancer? Breast cancer is cancer of the breast, which is a malignant growth in the breast tissue of women and even men. There are many risk factors pertaining to breast cancer although there is no set known cause.

Some of these risk factors include: a family history of breast cancer, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and late menopause. If any of these risk factors apply to you, it is important to take extra precaution. Women can do this by doing a monthly self breast exam, or having one performed by a doctor. Another preventative measure is having an MRI performed. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Another screening method is x-ray mammography, which is most often referred to as a mammogram. The newest form of breast cancer screening is ultrasound computed tomography. This method creates a three dimensional image to help detect cancerous cells. Any preventative measure taken again breast can potentially be crutial to the health of a man or woman.

]]>

Along with self examinations, it is also important to look out for symptoms of breast cancer regardless of any risk factors. A common symptom is an abnormal lump in the breast or armpit, along with change in size or shape of the breast. Although those are the most common symptoms, there are several others to be aware of. These are fluid leaking from the nipple, change in shape or size of the nipple, or change in color or texture of the areola. Unusual pain in the breast or armpit can also be a symptom of breast cancer.

If someone is diagnosed with breast cancer, there are several different types of treatment options available today. The doctor will discuss and decide with the patient which type is best for their particular case. Commonly, surgery will be performed where the cancerous tumor is removed, followed by hormonal therapy. chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Depending on the risk and severity of the tumor, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or immune therapy can also be options.

Breast cancer is serious but it does not have to be deadly. By following preventative measures and watching out for signs and symptoms, breast cancer can be caught in the early stages.

I Need a New Boiler. What do i need to know

I Need a New Boiler. What do i need to know

If you have ever need to upgrade your boiler you will know what a nightmare it can be having to choose what  New Boiler you need for your home.  What brand do I need?  Where should I put it?  How long will it last?  The questions are almost as serious as buying a new car or buying a home.  Purchasing a new boiler is after all a capital purchase, and serious consideration needs to be given in selecting the right brand and where it is going to be sighted.  Kitchen, Bedroom, or Loft, there are loads of spin off questions that come from the need for a new boiler.  First of all don’t worry,  there are hundreds of heating engineers that are highly qualified that can help you with your problem and if you are cold and have no hot water, dont get forced into decisions without assessing the options first. The old saying react in haste repent in lesiure is a true statement when choosing and installing a new boiler.

There are normally two types of customer that we come accross that need a new boiler.  1. Customers that need to have a boiler installed yesterday.  2. The customer thats planned their installation carefully because they know that there old boiler has been costing allot of money to run.

In both cases the questions will start to come and go .  So firstly get a pen and a piece of paper and write down what questions arise,  that way when you need to remember them, you have a record of your thoughts to dicuss with your installer.

There are considerations that you need to think about and there are some things that are taken out of customers hands due to Building regulation compliance ,so ill try to be brief so you can get an idea of what things customers can focus on to discuss.

Its important to identify what system you have!

Do I have a hot water cylinder?
Do I have Tanks in the loft, and how many tanks there are?
Do I have a room thermostat?
Do I have a programmer?
Do I have Thermostatic radiator valves?
Do I have a power shower

By finding out the answers to the above questions will help simplify what you need to discuss with your installer  Remember The size of your house is a large consideration when you have a property that is larger than three bedrroms. Purely because normally a 3-4 bed house starts to have other bathrooms and en suits,  more hot water taps than are found in a 2-3 bed home. thus the need for a larger volume of water being supplied to the hot taps. to avoid flow reduction if multiple taps are turned on.

Hot Water Cylinders.
If you have a cylinder in your home you will either have a fully pumped or gravity system an S-plan or C-plan system installed.
Here we go you may think?,  Not so.  If you have a cylinder in your home and its a three bedrromed house then 90% of our customers opt to have a Combination boiler installed in their home (On the whole they are far more efficient).  Its normally being upgraded from either of the systems that i mentioned above. So try to relax and discuss with your installer what you think you need.  He will explain what system you have when he call to give you a quote and survey your home.

Tanks in the loft.
If you have tanks in the loft or above your boiler and system, you have a few considerations for them.  Any exposed tank ie a tank without a sealed lid on it has to be upgraded so that it is sealed,  Galvanised tanks have to be removed so check what type of tank you have .  You have to have whats called a By law 30 kit to both tanks installed so if your opting to keep your existing system design and just get your boiler upgraded then water by laws state to all installers that this has to be done.

Room Thermostats.
You may have a room thermostat in your home thats been installed with your central heating system, or you may have had it installed after an old one has broken down.  You may not have one at all.  If you are thinking of just upgrading your old boiler again you have to consider a room thermostat.  Under current building regulations your new boiler has to have whats called a boiler interlock.  That is the control of heat by a combination of room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valve controls.  Your installer will tell you more about this but if you have not got them,  you will need to have them installed so that you system conforms to current building regulations.   Having them installed will help save huge amounts of gas and reduce that monthly gas bill considerably.

Thermostatic radiator valves.
Thermostatic radiator valves come in many shapes and orientations but the most common feature is a control that regulates the temprature of the heat that is in the room.  either by detecting the radiator panel temprature or the ambient temprature of the room the radiator is installed in.  As i explained in room thermostats these are mandatory if your system does not have them and they will help save you around £300.00 in gas anually.

Do i have a Power Shower.
This is where carefull consideration needs to be given.  If you are in a 2-3 bed house and you have a power shower and think.  I can not have a combination boiler because i have that type of shower you would be wrong.  Combination boilers come with many different flow rates some offer up to 19.1 ltrs a minute and still provide enough heat for the heating system and hot water.  With a combined incoming cold mains flow and the hot water flow  you should experience a combined flow rate through your shower in excess of 24 ltrs per minute.  You will find that your shower pump provides water flow rates of around this mark,  so upgrading your system to a combination boiler (certain checks have been made) could still provide the hot water you need for your shower to operate without the noise and electricity from the pump.

Will it be Combination or System Boiler

]]>

This is the inside of a normal system boiler.  All of its main controls are on the panel at the front of the boiler and its system controls are ouside the boiler.

Because of building regulations you would have to have installed with this boiler the following from the top of your system to the bottom:

Upgrade tanks and By Law 30 kits.**
Install 3 port valve kit or S-Plan System.**
Upgrade old cylinder.
Re Orientate existing pipework.**
Install Room Thermostats.**
Install Thermostaatic Radiator Valves.**
Upgrade Gas pipe to boiler ( Not in all cases)
Install condensate pipework from new boiler to drain**
Install flue basket If situated below 1.8m outside.**
Exterior components not under Manufacturer guarantee.

 

This is the inside of a combination boiler, you will have noticed from the picture

above that all of its controls are outside the boiler but on this boiler all of the controls are on the inside there are only a few considerations that we need to take into consideration to have one of these installed

Gas Supply needs upgrading
Install condensate pipework from new boiler to drain.**
Install room thermostat.**
Install Thermostatic Radiator Valves.**
Remove excess pipework and seal system.*
Can Be re sighted easily.
More flueing options.
Higher combined efficiency.
All components under  manufacturer guarantee.

 

 

 

Choosing controls that are Effective and look ok too.

Installing efficient controls that are not only effective but pleasing to the eye are the best controls that you can choose.  If you are spending the time to have your system upgraded then its common sense to choose something thats not an eye sore.  some controls such as this Easy stat from Alpha have a radio device on the left of the picture that fits neatly into the boller .  It communicates with the Easy stat by radio frequency and it can be sited up to 60 meters away from the boiler, it operates through walls and does not need line of site to work.  When having a thermostat like this installed meens less wiring.  Means less over all cost.

 

The Costs.

The cost of a new replacement system boiler taking into consideration the nessacery upgrades that have to be done are between £2100.00 – £4000.00 depending on the upgrades that need to be applied,  if you are lucky and you have all the controls that are needed to comply with building regulations then you could expect your system to be installed for under £2000.00  obviously prices will differ depending on when and who you get to install it.  Be sure of one thing whoever you get to install it.  They have to be Gas Safe Registered and they have to have part L for registering there appliance with your local building regulation department.  If they are not registered part L compliant then expect to get a bull from building control for around £200.00 for registering your product.

A combination system up to around 35KW fully installed is around £2000.00 – £3600.00 depending on flue type and control set.  these systems are far more efficient so you will recover installation costs alltot quicker than you would a system boiler.  guarantees range from 3,5 and 10 years with the prices given above and all the boilers have to have a Gas Safe Registered engineer to install them again they also need top be Part L compliant.

Remember VAT goes up to 20% in 2011

Have your boiler installed by us before the VAT increase  and we will give you up to £100 in Marks & Spencer vouchers.  You will also receive A Free Adey Magna Clean or A Free Fernox TF-1 Filter to increase the life of your boiler.  Fully installed free of charge

I need to know about symptoms after Prostate Cancer surgery?

Posted on by

Question by SNOOP: I need to know about symptoms after Prostate Cancer surgery?
My husband had complete prostate removal surgery 5-05 and has the usual problems associated with that but has another side effect his Dr’s. wont even discuss.

His legs became very weak right after surgery and remain so, After asking other men (3) who have had the same surgery and them experiencing the same symptoms why wont the medical community discuss this? Any ideas?

By the way….He had to use the VA Health Care System and his cancer came from service in Vietnam.

Best answer:

Answer by Totsakan
Ref. 1 discussed complication of leg weakness after perineal prostatectomy surgery. Your husband most likely had retropubic type of surgery (from pubic area rather than between scrotum and anus).
Another possibility is if the cancer spread to the bone where the spinal cord could be affected, then leg weakness could happen (ref. 2).
The third reference talked about complication of surgery which it did not sound like your husband had it.
It is interesting because I was not aware of the association between Vietnam War and increased incidence of prostate cancer. But I found ref. 3!
However, the last reference reminds us that there are other factors related to prostate cancer. People who did not fight and are not fighting in Vietnam or not exposed to agent Orange can also develop prostate cancer.
Best of luck and great thanks and appreciation to your husband, you and the family for serving the country.

Lung Cancer Symptoms – What You Need to Know

Lung cancer is a serious health problem affecting both men and women. It is the largest cause of cancer related deaths in men and is the second cause of cancer related deaths in women. What many people might not know is that lung cancer is the result of several different things and not just from smoking tobacco alone. Whatever the causes of lung cancer, it is important for us to know what the common lung cancer symptoms are so that we you take early remedial or corrective actions to contain or cure this deadly disease. Early effective medical intervention increases the percentage of an early cure from the disease.

Lung cancer is a disease caused by uncontrolled cell growth in the lungs. Smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer, accountable for about 87% of all lung cancer cases diagnosed. Cigarette smoke contains over 60 carcinogens which included the harmful and addictive nicotine. Prolonged exposure to the cigarette smoke (whether as an active or a passive smoker) can lower your body’s immune systems to fight the malignant cancer growth tissue. In addition to smoking, there are other causes of this disease like radon gas from the earths crust, asbestos and various viruses like the human papillomavirus, JC virus, simian virus 40 (SV40), BK virus and cytomegalovirus.

The specific noticeable lung cancer symptoms include the dyspnea or shortness of breath, hemoptysis or coughing up blood, chronic coughing, wheezing, chest or abdomen pain, weight loss, fatigue, and difficulty in swallowing. Cancer cells may grow in our  airway, obstruct the airflow and cause dangerous breathing difficulties. This can result in the cancer patient getting pneumonia which in turn causes muscle weaknesses and other symptoms. Surprisingly, lung cancer is often diagnosed after the patients goes in thinking they have pneumonia.

There are also many non-specific symptoms of lung cancer as well. These symptoms include bone pain, fever and weight loss. Lung cancer often spread to other parts of the body as well, including the bone, spinal cord, liver and the brain. This act of the cancer spreading is known as metastasis.

Being one of the most common forms of cancer, it is incredibly important for us to be informed of the many lung cancer symptoms.  It is also important for us to know what causes lung cancer so that we can take necessary precaution to reduce our chances of getting it. Obviously smoking is a horrible decision, not only for the cancer related reasons but also for our general health and well-being as well. But also knowing the other causes like radon gas, asbestos and the other various viruses is just as important as well. If you feel you have been exposed to any of these causes and have the lung cancer symptoms listed above, it is important that you consult your doctor early so that necessary diagnostic tests can be carried out to ascertain your health condition.

www.thegreatcourses.com If you’re old enough to remember watching TV before 1971, you probably remember cigarette commercials on TV: “Me and my Winstons”; “Come all the way up to Kool”; “I’d rather fight than switch” (that’s for Tareyton); “You’ve come a long way, baby” (Virginia Slims, the “women’s cigarette”); and of course, Chesterfield’s 101s, “A silly millimeter longer.” I watched way too much TV. The commercials disappeared as a result of negotiations between the federal government and the four major tobacco companies: American Brands, Liggett & Myers, Philip Morris, and Reynolds. In 1964, the surgeon general’s report linking smoking to lung cancer came out. So an argument could be made for a desire on the part of the tobacco companies to protect people from cancer. I’m afraid I’m a bit cynical about this, especially in light of how hard those companies worked to prevent [publicizing] the links [among] cancer, smoking, and addiction in the years before 1964. But then, why would the cigarette companies agree to a ban on advertising? The answer is that it got them out of a prisoner’s dilemma. Before the ban, the decision of whether to advertise or not was really a fourplayer game among the four tobacco companies, but we won’t miss any of the salient points if we boil it down to just two companies, say Eagle Tobacco and Dan’l Boone, to keep me out of legal trouble. Why advertise? Yes, it does persuade some nonsmokers to take up the habit, but the biggest payoff is …

Breast Cancer: Women Need Not Suffer Anymore!

Breast Cancer: Women Need Not Suffer Anymore!

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with breast cancer, it’s important to understand some basics: What is breast cancer and how does it happen?

In this article, you can learn about how breast cancer develops, how many people get breast cancer, and what factors can increase risk for getting breast cancer. You also can learn more about signs and symptoms to watch for and how to manage any fears you may have about breast cancer.

Breast cancer is always caused by a genetic abnormality (a “mistake”) in the genetic material. About 90% of breast cancers are due to genetic abnormalities that happen as a result of the aging process and the “wear and tear” of life in general. Less than 10% of cancers are due to an abnormality inherited from your mother or father.

Cancer occurs as a result of mutations, or abnormal changes, in the genes responsible for regulating the growth of cells and keeping them healthy.Normally, the cells in our bodies replace themselves through an orderly process of cell growth:

But over time, mutations can “turn on” certain genes and “turn off” others in a cell. That changed cell gains the ability to keep dividing without control or order, producing more cells just like it and forming a tumor.

]]>

The term “breast cancer” refers to a malignant tumor that has developed from cells in the breast.

A tumor can be benign (not dangerous to health) or malignant (has the potential to be dangerous). Benign tumors are not considered cancerous: their cells are close to normal in appearance, they grow slowly, and they do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors are cancerous. Left unchecked, malignant cells eventually can spread beyond the original tumor to other parts of the body.

Surgery is usually the first line of attack against breast cancer. Decisions about surgery depend on many factors. You and your doctor will determine the kind of surgery that’s most appropriate for you based on the stage of the cancer, the “personality” of the cancer, and what is acceptable to you in terms of your long-term peace of mind.

Radiation therapy — also called radiotherapy — is a highly targeted, highly effective way to destroy cancer cells in the breast that may stick around after surgery. Radiation can reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence by about 70%. Despite what many people fear, radiation therapy is relatively easy to tolerate and its side effects are limited to the treated area.

Chemotherapy treatment uses medicine to weaken and destroy cancer cells in the body, including cells at the original cancer site and any cancer cells that may have spread to another part of the body. Chemotherapy, often shortened to just “chemo,” is a systemic therapy, which means it affects the whole body by going through the bloodstream.There are quite a few chemotherapy medicines. In many cases, a combination of two or more medicines will be used as chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.

To avoid the perils of breast cancer it is important that, you understand  the different types of breast cancer tests, such as mammogram, breast MRI, and biopsy.

While there are steps every person can take to help the body stay as healthy as possible (such as eating a balanced diet, not smoking, limiting alcohol, and exercising regularly), breast cancer is never anyone’s fault.
