Cancer, Common Cancers, A Simple Guide To The Conditions, Diagnosis, Treatment And Updated Cancer Treatments

This book describes Cancer, Common Cancer Diseases, Diagnosis and Treatment and Updated Cancer Treatments
Cancer you are a deadly disease
On our tissues you choose to feast
By staying in our bodies deep
And invading our organs you cowardly creep

You have taken mothers, daughters, brothers
Fathers, friends and life long lovers
We will fight back to give remedy
To bring back the immune harmony

Hope and Faith we must restore
For all victims who suffer the cancer foe
Help the body and soul join together
To seek peace and fight forever

The legions of the cancer cells with smirks on their faces
We must fight and strengthen each time you attack our bases
To ensure that your cancer existence will soon expire
And ensure our scarred body a good fight to inspire

As we continue this quest we have started
And remember those of us who have departed
So smirk and smile you killer of man
Enjoy your glory while you can

We will remove the smirk from your face
When you realize this is your final and only race
We have cornered you, your race is run
All our cells unite to finish what we have begun

We will fight to the death this awful scourge of man
And clobber this cowardly cancer in the end
We shall clobber this mutant beast
No more our flesh for you to feast

These were days filled with anger
Sad days to be in so much danger
As the days and months went on
Our cells started getting strong

And as we learned to cope
We discovered the meaning of hope.
And we have our friends and family to thank
You are all our angels so much our friend
An original poem by Kenneth Kee

Types of Cancer cells:
1.Epithelium (skin or mucosa):
a.Squamous cell:Squamous cell carcinoma
b.Glandular cell:Adenocarcinoma
2.Mesenchyme or tissue:
a.Fibroblast:Fibrosarcoma
b.Fat cell: Liposarcoma
c.Endothelial:Angiosarcoma
d.Cartilage:Chondrosarcoma
e.Bone:Osteosarcoma
Genetic causes:
About 5 to 10 % of cancers are hereditary.
a.Abnormal genes have present in breast Cancer
b.Familial history happen in colon Cancer
Environmental causes
The risk of cancer is 90-95 % of cases:
1.Tobacco use,
2.Certain infections,
3.Radiation,
4.Lack of physical activity,
5.Obesity,
6.Environmental pollutants.

Treatments for Cancer
1.Surgery
2.Chemotherapy
3.Radiotherapy
4.Hormonotherapy
5.Immunotherapy

7.Biologic Therapy
9.Stem cells or Bone marrow transplant
10.Organ Transplant
Drug-free therapies:
Healthy Lifestyle
Meditation
Updated Cancer Treatments
1.High-Technological Breakthroughs
Multi-parametric-magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI)
Fluorescence lifetime imaging
Cryo-ablation
MRI-guided focal laser ablation
Individualized Medicine:
Targeted medicines e.g. PEGPH20 for Stage 4 Pancreas Cancer
Immunotherapy is now the biggest breakthrough in cancer treatments
1.CAR T-cells,
2.Immune checkpoint inhibitors
3.Tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy
Cancer Vaccines
Organoids
Combinations of immunological agents such as anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapies
Combinations with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and genomically targeted drugs
Combining checkpoint blockade therapies with cancer-toxic agents
Alterations in the gene BRCA
