Primary Peritoneal Cancer Prognosis - Is it a Death Sentence?

A cancer diagnosis is devastating. A stage IV cancer diagnosis is even worse. Primary Peritoneal Cancer Prognosis is not great but it is manageable. This cancer mimics ovarian cancer in that few symptoms show up until it is quite advanced. Standard treatments include surgery and chemotherapy.

There are other forms cancer that seem to hide or be misdiagnosed until they are very advanced. One is GIST-Gastro Intestinal Stroma tumor. Just a few years ago, a diagnosis of this stomach lining tumor was enough to start making funeral arrangements. But that is not the case now. Thanks to advances in research and actually separating this type of tumor from other cancers that were all lumped into the stomach cancer category, a diagnosis of GIST is no more an immediate death sentence.

A couple of drugs on the market have made a big difference. One is called Gleevec and the other is called Sutent. Gleevec is usually the first line of defense. This drug is a protein inhibitor that attacks the tumor and shrinks it. It has a 70% success rate which is unheard of for most kinds of cancer.

Interestingly, it was initially used in the treatment of leukemia and was used by a doctor as a last ditch effort for a patient who was dying of GIST. It is now standard protocol for GIST treatment.

Gleevec is not without its side effects but most are manageable. One of them is short term memory loss. That's not a big deal to you are in line at the post office and can't remember where the package your are mailing is supposed to go.

Primary peritoneal cancer prognosis will also be more favorable as other drugs are developed for treatment of this specific type of Cancer. Research is ongoing and breakthroughs are being made all the time.

Do You Know Some Nutrients Help Prevent Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer today is one of the most threatening conditions that a woman might have. A woman's breast undergoes a lot of changes during her lifetime. Right from puberty breast tissues are continuously developing. Women find changes in their breast at every menstrual cycle where they feel different just before and during the periods days. Pregnancy and Lactation causes a lot of changes in the breasts. As age progresses the breast tissue becomes less dense. Because of these continuous changes women need some extra nutrients so that the breast tissues get the adequate supply of them. There are many causes for breast cancer and you can read more in websites like bcancer.com. But do you know that there are some nutrients and food that especially help to prevent breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Screening
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer women face second only to lung cancer, however it is the most feared cancer or disease for most women. It occurs in about 12% of women who will live to the age of 90. Several well established factors increase the risk of breast cancer and they include family history, nulliparity (not having had children), early menarche (starting menstrual cycles early), advanced age and a personal history of breast cancer. Other risks include exposure to environmental toxins such as tobacco smoke that increase the chance for cancer growth. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The American Cancer Society has many activities this month to bring this to the public attention.

Mammogram and Breast Cancer Screening
Cancer screening The term screening is commonly used for a test that is used for evaluation of a person for possible disease without the person ever having any symptoms or signs of the disease. Screening tests are usually undertaken in a target population, which has significantly high risk of developing the disease. Mammogram is a screening technique used for breast cancer, and the target population for mammogram is women who are aged 40 and above. PSA testing is a screening test for prostate cancer and the target population is men over 50 years of age. Screening tests cannot be employed in all diseases. In some cases a useful screening test may not be available, and in some other cases it may not be worth screening for a disease because screening and finding out the disease early may not change the natural history of disease. The later is probably true in case of screening of lung cancer. From the studies so far published, there is no clear evidence to suggest that screening for lung cancer in high-risk population (smokers) would improve survival.
