Breast cancer chemotherapy - DRUGS

Chemotherapy - is a very effective method of treating tumors using poisons or toxins . Poison or toxin is then called the chemotherapeutic agents or chemotherapeutic agent .Chemotherapy - is a very effective method of treating cancer , chemotherapy because of rapidly act on the cells .The goal of chemotherapy , as well as other types of systemic therapy - this effect on all cancer cells that are in the body. This distinguishes it from methods of local treatment (e.g. radiotherapy ) , in which the effect exerted on a certain area of ​​the body.Chemotherapy may be applied as before surgery to shrink a tumor , and thereafter , in order to prevent recurrence and metastasis of the tumor.

Symptoms and self-diagnosis of testicular cancer

Testicular cancer is a relatively rare form of cancer , and is diagnosed in less than one percent of all cancer patients . Malignant cells can form inside or around one of the testicles, and may be felt as a lump or hardening of the testicle. Testicular cancer mainly affects men aged 20 to 34 years , although it can also occur in men younger or older .
Symptoms of testicular cancer may include a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum . The impression is that the scrotum is pulled down . Testicular cancer is often accompanied by pain in the testicles , penis or scrotum. Pain can be either tractive or discontinuous . Often with testicular cancer fluid accumulates in the scrotum , in connection with which she seems unusually large. Furthermore, men can also pay attention to abdominal pain.
If women often engaged in BSE , men rarely pay attention to the status of their testicles. However , monthly testicular self-examination can be very useful for the early diagnosis of testicular cancer . Monthly inspection can help a man to identify any unwanted changes .

Immunotherapy for melanoma

Immunotherapy stimulates the patient's immune system . This allows it to effectively recognize and destroy tumor cells.
Use of the drug ipilimumab

Ipilimumab (Yervoy) - is a drug based on monoclonal antibodies ( a synthetic version of immune system proteins ) . The drug effect on CTLA- 4 protein , which normally controls the function of cells of the immune system T lymphocyte . Ipilimumab increases the intensity of the immune response against melanoma cells , blocking the activity of CTLA- 4 protein .Every three weeks for 4 days the drug is administered intravenously. The drug increases the life expectancy of patients with melanoma , which can not be surgically removed or has spread to distant organs , for several months.The drug activates the body's immune system and helps fight against the tumor cells . At the same time it may lead to serious side effects. Sometimes the immune system begins to attack healthy tissue. In some cases, side effects can be fatal.Most often, the side effects of the immune system occur during treatment. But these effects may occur , and a few months after treatment ends. Should immediately inform your doctor about any side effects. 

Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the female reproductive organs, but ranks last among these diseases as a cause of death, as detected usually at an early stage when the disease responds well to treatment . Recent decades, the incidence of endometrial cancer has been steadily increasing, which is apparently due to the increase in life expectancy of women and their stay in the postmenopausal period . Uterine cancer mostly occurs in postmenopausal women , average age of the patients was 60-62 years . During the life of endometrial cancer sick 2-3 % of women.
There are two pathogenic variant of endometrial cancer - hormone-dependent and autonomous .

Symptoms and diagnosis of testicular cancer

Testicular cancer is not always the manifestation. Usually the disease manifests itself in testicular tumor , which is the first symptom of cancer. When this tumor is painless. Furthermore, among the manifestations of testicular cancer can be noted as follows:

•     increase in testicular
•     seal eggs
•     Pain in the scrotum or lower abdomen.

Ovarian Cancer Symptoms

Symptoms of ovarian cancer

 In the early stages of ovarian cancer does not cause many symptoms . It is for this reason that most cases do not reveal until the cancer has not spread .

•     Constant cramping and abdominal pain.
•     Constant pain in the pelvis and lower back.

Oncology and Psychosomatics

It's no secret that emotions and stress and bad impact on the bodily health. Sometimes emotional pain is so strong that leads to cancer .
Many people mistakenly believe that the cancer - is a relatively new disease , and old people do not hurt them . In fact it is not. Modern molecular biology techniques that have been used to analyze the remains of ancient people and their predecessors, have enabled scientists to establish the fact that neoplastic diseases were among primitive people.
The mechanism of tumor scientists almost unknown. If you do not go into the details , the overall picture of the process is such that a normal ( healthy cell ) for one reason or another begins to multiply infinitely . That is, in the cell death program shuts down ( which is inherent in all healthy cells ) . Becoming " immortal " cell begins to continuously replicate , to reproduce itself . So there is a tumor that grows over time and metastasizes . It is worth noting that in healthy humans daily formed hundreds of millions of cells , however, our immune system is constantly followed by " watching " just neutralizes them . If the immune system fails, then starts the process of cancer development .
