Lung Cancer: Listen To What Dr. Kevin Has To Say About The Diagnosis & Treatment

Doctor Kevin Most offered a thorough discussion on the lung cancer on the morning of March 9, 2015. His valuable notes are discussed henceforth. Although there are a number of restrictions enforced on smoking, the disease of lung cancer remains a vital cause of death by cancer worldwide. In the year of 2012, it had been found that about 1.6 million people were found dead due to this fatal disease. However, the changes in insurances last year had affected the screening of cancer patients with high risk. During recent weeks, it made an impact on the treatment procedure. Well, if these two fields can be combined then it can surely be expected to have a drop in the number of casualties. Lung cancer can be referred to as one of the most obvious reasons behind death by cancer for both the sexes in the United States. The survival rate for five years is 17.8% only. Key reason behind this poor result being the disease was diagnosed long after being spread. The symptoms are also very common lik

Better treatment for previous cancer diagnosed

Lung cancer has been a serious problem in people nowadays and the main reason is not smoking anymore. People who are over exposed to smoke and pollution in general are also suffering from this problem. However many lung cancer has been cured but to bad lifestyles etc. it may come up again, but one should not live in fear and get themselves checked. It is not necessary that once a person who has been diagnosed with lung cancer may be diagnosed with it again and so his or her survival rate becomes less. Doctors say that if a person has suffered from cancer before then this should not prevent them from going for clinical trials for advance lung cancer as the clinical outcomes will remain same. This research was done by UT Southwestern Medical center and they claim that this research can boost the enrolment in lung cancer clinical trials. Irrespective of what kind of cancer a person has in the past, time period etc. does not affect his/her survival rate and thus one should not back off fr

Rising Cases Of Lung Cancer Should Serve As A Warning

I remember one time my grandmother paid us a visit in the city, she made a remark how the world has changed. She was referring to a group of ladies who as they chatted, standing outside the restaurant, would pause every now and then to take a puff from the cigarette clutched between their meticulously manicured nails. She went on to explain how during her time, you would not see a woman smoking, let alone a well-educated woman. You must understand, this was almost ten years ago and it was her first time in the big city. But she did have a point, women smoking was not something one could easily observe in developing countries such as Kenya, not until recent times. The situation was different in developed countries where a woman smoking is nothing to write home about and is a rising trend. Subsequently, cases of lung cancer in women is higher in developing countries. However, what came as a surprise was the finding that lung cancer is now the leading cause of death in women in developed

Vegetarian Diet Lowers The Risk Of Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal CancerColorectal cancer, like lung cancer, is a dreaded disease that affects portion of the large intestine leading from the cecum to the rectum and the rectum proper in humans. As part of their continuing research, Seventh Day Adventists in America further held studies on vegetarians, pescovegetarians (vegetarians eating no meat but eating fish more than once in a month) and low meat-eating groups to study the spread of colorectal cancer amongst such demographies, releasing their findings on March 9, 2015 in JAMA Internal Medicine. The studies revealed that vegetarians have 22% lower risk for colorectal cancer than normal meat eaters, while, surprisingly, pescovegetarians (a part of vegetarian community) stand a 43% lower risk of contracting this cancer, apart from having increased longevity and low risk from other diseases such as lung cancer as well. Why pescovegetarians were chosen for study? These people, who eat only fish and plant foods, and no meat, are rated to hav

Are non-smokers really safe?

Cancer is a deadly disease and if not detected early it can be very dangerous and fatal. Very few people have recovered from cancer and once you reach the 3rd stage it is close to impossible. Cancer in all types is dangerous be it lung cancer, blood cancer, prostate cancer etc. Cancer does not just damage the particular organ but kills the person as a whole. Recently many treatments have been started for these types of cancer and awareness has spread too. People have made lifestyle change like quitting smoking and as a result the rate of smokers has reduced in the Unites states. But this is again a problem as doctors say that this reduction in smokers may be more dangerous as it has become more difficult to diagnose a person with lung cancer. Researchers even say that more people may die as they have reduced smoking or quit smoking and as a result they do not quality for low dose CT scan and ultimately the cancer does not get detected. Now the situation is such that there are certain
