What is Cancer?

Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells. Cancer cells rapidly reproduce despite restriction of space, nutrients shared by other cells, or signals sent from the body to stop reproduction.
Cancer cells are often shaped differently from healthy cells, they do not function properly, and they can spread to many areas of the body. In Cancer - Tumors, abnormal growth of tissue, are clusters of cells that are capable of growing and dividing uncontrollably; their growth is not regulated. Oncology is the branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of Cancer. Cancer - What do the terms benign and malignant mean? Tumors can be benign (nonCancerous) or malignant (Cancerous). Benign tumors tend to grow slowly and do not spread. In Cancer - Malignant tumors can grow rapidly, invade and destroy nearby normal tissues, and spread throughout the body.
Cancer - How is each Cancer type named? Cancer is named after the part of the body where it originated. When Cancer spreads, it keeps this same name. For example, if kidney Cancer spreads to the lungs, it is still kidney Cancer, not lung Cancer. (The lung Cancer would be an example of a secondary tumor.) Staging is the process of determining whether Cancer has spread and, if so, how far. There is more than one system used for staging Cancer, and the definition of each stage will depend on the type of Cancer.
Cancer - What are the different types of Cancer? Cancer is not just one disease but rather a group of diseases, all of which cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control. Cancer is classified either according to the kind of fluid or tissue from which they originate, or according to the location in the body where they first developed. In addition, some types of Cancer are of mixed types.
The following five broad categories indicate the tissue and blood classifications of Cancer:Carcinoma Cancer : A carcinoma is a Cancer found in body tissue known as epithelial tissue that covers or lines surfaces of organs, glands, or body structures. For example, a Cancer of the lining of the stomach is called a carcinoma. Many carcinomas affect organs or glands that are involved with secretion, such as breasts that produce milk. Carcinomas account for 80 percent to 90 percent of all Cancer cases. •
Sarcoma Cancer: A sarcoma is a malignant tumor growing from connective tissues, such as cartilage, fat, muscle, tendons, and bones. The most common sarcoma, a tumor on the bone, usually occurs in young adults. Examples of sarcoma include osteosarcoma (bone) and chondrosarcoma (cartilage). •
Lymphoma Cancer: Lymphoma refers to a Cancer that originates in the nodes or glands of the lymphatic system, whose job it is to produce white blood cells and clean body fluids, or in organs such as the brain and breast. Lymphomas are classified into two categories: Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. •
Leukemia Cancer: Leukemia, also known as blood Cancer, is a Cancer of the bone marrow that keeps the marrow from producing normal red and white blood cells and platelets. White blood cells are needed to resist infection. Red blood cells are needed to prevent anemia. Platelets keep the body from easily bruising and bleeding. Examples of leukemia include acute myelogenous leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The terms myelogenous and lymphocytic indicate the type of cells that are involved.
Myeloma Cancer: Myeloma grows in the plasma cells of bone marrow. In some cases, the myeloma cells collect in one bone and form a single tumor, called a plasmacytoma. However, in other cases, the myeloma cells collect in many bones, forming many bone tumors. This is called multiple myeloma.

Healthy Eating for Life: Food Choices for Cancer Prevention and Survival

Are you ready to start enjoying the powerful benefits of a vegetarian diet?

Some dietary changes have a preventive effect for many types of cancer.
Boosting your intake of vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits, for example, strengthens your immune system and helps knock out cancer cells.

To help prevent cancer, it is also smart to avoid meats, dairy products, and fried foods. Choosing fiber-rich legumes, grains, vegetables, and fruits helps keep many types of cancer at bay.
Plant foods also contain a wide variety of cancer-fighting substances called phytochemicals.

These facts all point to choosing a vegetarian diet to help prevent cancer and improve cancer survival.

Studies of vegetarians show that death rates from cancer are only about one-half to three-quarters of those of the general population.

What is Mesothelioma?

Malignant Mesotheliome is a rare cancer form, which begins in the Mesothel, the diaphragm, which covers and protects most internal body organs. The Mesothel consists of two layers, by which the organ surrounds and which other one forms a pouch lining therefore around. Between these two layers a small quantity liquid is normally produced, which serves the better mobility of the organs. If the normal cells of the Mesothels strew except control turned out and fast, Mesotheliome develop.
The most frequent form of the Mesotheliome are "pleurale" Mesotheliome. These develop in the lung lining. Other forms are "peritoneale" Mesotheliome, which concern the abdominal cavity lining, and "perikardiale" Mesotheliome, which concern the heart lining.
