Symptoms of cancer associated with lung cancer.
The growth of cancer symptoms and attacks (invasion) of lung tissues and the environment-the environment may interfere with breathing, leading to symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, wheezing (wheezing), chest pain, and coughing up blood (hemoptysis). If the symptoms of cancer has invaded nerves, for example, he may cause shoulder pain that moves down the outside of the arm (called Pancoast's Syndrome) or paralysis of the vocal cords leading to hoarseness (husky). Assault esophagus may lead to difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). If a large airway is obstructed, its flat part of the lung may occur and cause infections (abscesses, pneumonia) in an unobstructed area.

There are no cancer symptoms: In up to 25% of the people who get lung cancer, first discovered on a chest x-ray and CT scans routinely as a small remote mass sometimes called a wound coin (coin lesion .) These patients with single masses of small often reported no symptoms of lung cancer at the time found.

Findings vaccine to prevent cancer symptoms
The findings of this study reinforce the reasons for the prevention of cervical cancer symptoms and illness through the use of existing vaccines and will help the development of second generation vaccines against several other strains of HPV, "said De San Jose, as quoted by msnbc.com. More than 118 HPV types identified. About 40 of them infect the genital tract and as many as 12 types of cancer known as a trigger.
From research to see cases of cervical cancer in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Oceania, the researchers also found a rare HPV type that is type 26, 30, 61, 67, 69, 82, and 91. HPV types can also be a trigger cervical cancer, but likely only one percent of cases worldwide.

The findings of the cancer vaccine for active women
GSK vaccine production, Cervarix, and Merck, Gardasil, protects only HPV types 16 and 18. Through cross-protection, partly also against HPV types 31 and 45. Many rich countries began to make HPV immunization outreach programs for women before sexually active. But in general the price of the vaccine was too expensive and inaccessible to most people who live in poor countries.

Findings vaccine to prevent cervical cancer of types
Joint research team has found eight types of human papillomavirus (HPV) that trigger 90 percent of cervical cancers worldwide. This finding is important for the development of cervical vaccine better. Drug manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline and Merck & Co. indeed have created a vaccine to prevent this type of cancer. But with the discovery of eight types of HPV, the vaccine can be developed better. Cancer is the second lady killer in the world to the death toll reached 328 thousand per year. This large study to see the data collected during 60 years on 10,575 cervical cancer in 38 countries. International team was formed and headed by Silvia de San Jose of the Catalan Institute of Oncology in Barcelona, Spain. Findings vaccine to prevent this cancer type has been examined by experts.
The results showed, eight types of HPV that the main trigger type of cervical cancer cases worldwide are virus types 16, 18, 45, 33, 31, 52, 58, and 35, in order of frequency. The results of this study published in the Lancet Medical Journal

Good therapy for colon cancer
Currently, adjuvant therapy can be done without a needle (IV), but with oral / tablets (Capacitabine). Availability capacitabine tablet allows patients to undergo chemotherapy at home, of course, its effectiveness is better. Capacitabine also an oral chemotherapy that is safe and work up to the cancer cells.
Kick Preventing Colon Cancer
Preventing far better than cure. It also applies to colon cancer. So as not to touchable this deadly disease, do prevention efforts.

Symptoms and treatment for colon cancer
To deal with colon cancer, surgical therapy is the most effective, especially if done on a disease that is still localized. However, when it occurs metastasis (spread), the handling becomes more difficult. However, with the development of chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the moment, allows people with advanced stages or in case of relapse for adjuvant therapy. Adjuvant therapy is chemotherapy given after surgery in patients with stage III cancer in order to kill remaining cancer cells.

bowel cancer symptoms
Symptoms of colon cancer among others, a sense of bloating in the abdomen.
So far, the cause of colon cancer is not clearly known. However, there are some things that allegedly has the potential to bring this malignant disease, namely: how the wrong diet (too many foods high in fat and protein, and low in fiber), obesity (overweight), had colon cancer, comes from a family who have a history of colon cancer, have had polyps in the colon, age (risk increases at age above 50 years), less physical activity, are often exposed to food preservatives and dyes that are not for food, and smoking.
One symptom of bowel cancer, among others: First, the bleeding of the colon is marked by the discovery of blood in the stool during defecation. Second, changes in bowel function (diarrhea or constipation) for no apparent reason, more than six weeks. Third, weight loss for no apparent reason. Fourth, pain in the abdomen or the back.

Thyroid cancer often limits the ability to absorb iodine and limit the ability to produce thyroid hormone, but sometimes cancer produce enough thyroid hormone, causing hyperthyroidism.
Thyroid nodules tend to be malignant if it:
- just found one
- Skening thyroid nodules do not indicate that the function
- nodulnya solid and does not have fluid (cystic)
- nodulnya hard
- rapid growth.
