INTRODUCTION: Cancer is a group of more than 100 different diseases that are due to abnormal growth of body cells. Cancer is one of the key diseases that is a "goose that lays golden eggs" for orthodox medicine. Cancer is usually classified according to the tissue from which the cancerous cells originate, as well as the normal cell type they most resemble.



CHILDRENS CANCERS: Amongst all age groupings, the most common childrens cancers are leukemia, lymphoma, and brain cancer. In nearly all cases, however, childhood cancers come from non-inherited changes in the genes of growing cells. Longer-term effects may include infertility, problems with growth, Damage of internal organs, or increased risk of other cancers.

The diagnosis and treatment of childhood cancers takes time, and there are both short-term and long-term side effects.

WOMAN: Many women with inflammatory breast cancer do not have an associated breast lump, which can make the disease more difficult to detect. Another challenge is that inflammatory breast cancer is a much more aggressive cancer in younger women than other types of breast cancer.

Still, some benign breast conditions are important because women with these conditions have a greater risk of developing cancer of the breast . However not all women with lymph node involvement develop metastases, and it is not rare for a woman to have negative lymph nodes and later develop metastases.

TREATMENTS: Different kinds of cancer have different signs, symptoms, treatments, and outcomes, depending on the type of cell involved and the degree of uncontrolled cell growth.

Each child's treatment differs, so a child may be given daily, weekly, or monthly chemo treatments. Radiation is one of the most common treatments for cancer. While surgery is usually all that is needed, these types of cancers may not respond very well to the other treatments used for invasive ductal or lobular breast cancer.

As research continues to develop, treatments are becoming more specific to different types of cancer. Also, histologic grading and the presence of specific molecular markers can also be useful for prognosis, as well as in determining individual treatments. Many experimental cancer treatments are also under development.

CONCLUSION: Cancer is not caused by micro-organism, like colds or the flu are. Cancer is a term for diseases in which cells divide abnormally without control and can invade other tissues.

Although the control of the symptoms of cancer is not usually thought of as a treatment for cancer, it is important in determining the quality of life of cancer patients, and plays an important role in the decision as to whether the patient is able to undergo other treatments. Once diagnosed, it is usually treated with a combination of surgery, drugs and radiotherapy. The cure and cause of cancer is within us.
