Liver cancer can be caused by carcinogenic compounds such as aflatoxin, polyvinyl chloride (plastic raw material), viruses, etc..
Aplatoxin is a poison produced by Aspergillus flavus and can contaminate food during food storage, such as beans, rice and cassava, especially in the tropics. Hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis C funds to develop into liver cancer.

Liver cancer occurs when cancer cells develop in the liver tissue. Liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma, a lot happens (HCC). HCC is a serious complication of end hepatitiskronis, especially cirrhosis resulting from hepatitis B, C and hemochromatosis.
Examination to detect liver cancer: AFP, PIVKA II

SYMPTOMS – SYMPTOMS

Pain / symptoms of abdominal pain is the most common liver cancer and usually signifies a very large tumor or liver involvement is extensive. Incidence of complications of a sudden. For example, the sudden appearance of ascites (fluid and swelling of the abdomen), jaundice (yellow skin color), or depreciation of muscle without the causative factors (which cause, for example alcohol consumption) suggests the possibility of liver cancer.

Skin Cancer is a disease characterized by the growth of skin cells that are not controlled, can damage surrounding tissue and can spread to other parts of the body. There are three types of skin cancer which generally is often suffered by humans, such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma (MM).
Malignant Skin Cancer
TYPES OF SKIN CANCER
# Malaria (BCC)

Is a type of skin cancer is most common. This type of cancer do not experience the spread (metastasis) goto the other body, but cancer cells can grow and cause damage to surrounding skin tissue. The bright color and are often exposed to the sun heating the two suspected as the cause of Malaria. Other factors that also may be the cause of this cancer type is a weak immune system (both the impact of other diseases or treatment), burns, X-ray beam.

1. Signs and Symptoms
The body of a basal cell cancer is usually the face, neck and scalp. The signs of this type of cancer is a lump a little shiny, reddish-colored with a rising edge slightly blackish, abnormalities such as scarring and blisters / Lika that does not heal.

2. Types of Cancer Diagnosis
Single method to ensure that basal cell cancer doctor will perform a clinical and histopathologic examination by taking a sample of skin that is considered as the cancerous tissue (biopsy) to be studied under a microscope.

3. Therapy and Medication
If the diagnosis has been established clearly that patients with skin cancer basal cell type, the action taken is usually surgery or removal of skin tissue (cancer) is complete, or they can be with radiation action. Other methods are also often done is frozen surgery, surgical power, lasers, photodynamic well with medication either topical or injected (chemotherapy).
# Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)

Is a type of skin cancer affects more men, especially the elderly (the elderly). This is a type of skin cancer where the malignancy occurs epidermal keratinocytes cells, is the second commonest skin cancer. SCC of skin cancer can spread goto the other body, generally suffered by those in the tropical region.

Like BCC disease, this type of skin cancer are also suspected due to sunlight (dominant), a weak immune body, viruses, chemicals and scar tissue can also cause this disease. The signs and symptoms is to have abnormalities such as lumps, bumps or sores that do not heal. Diagnosis is established by the same method at the BCC, as well as therapy and treatment measures tend to be similar to basal cell cancer.
# Malignant melanoma (MM)

This is a type of skin cancer’s most malignant and potentially lethal. In America, the data obtained for six of these seven patients died of cancer. And the number of people infected increasing from year to year. Malignant melanoma can develop from moles arise existing or newly emerging.

1. Signs and Symptoms
This information is very important for the They who have a mole that then either change the color, size and shape, moles itch and sometimes bleed when scratched. These cancer cells grow from melanocytes, the skin cells that function to produce melanin pigment.

Cancer is characterized by ABCD, A = asymmetric, irregular shapes. B = Border or uneven edges as well. C = Color or colors that vary from one area to another. Can be brownish to black. Even in certain cases found in white, red and blue. D = diameter greater than 6 mm.

2. Diagnosis of malignant melanoma
Enforcement of diagnosis in cases of this type of skin cancer as well as two types of skin cancer above (BCC and SCC), which is doing the action biopsy for examination under a microscope.

3. Therapy and Medication
Malignant melanoma is a type of skin cancer is the most malignant, can spread assigned to other bodies such as the lymph glands. Action taken on this type of cancer is a complete removal of cancerous tissue by surgery, has been known to occur when the spread is required further operations to remove tissue in the vicinity. If cancer cells are found spread to the lymph glands, then inevitably the glans was also appointed.

Scientists from the University of Oxford England has found a new way to learn quickly the cancer stem cells. The new way is to get the cancer stem cells from colon cancer cells and keep it alive in the laboratory.

With this method, cells can be used repeatedly in a drug test antidotes. That way, they can accelerate drug development against the disease. This project aimed to overcome cancer in children that come from genetic factors.

Meanwhile, researchers in Washington, United States, Monday (25/1/2010), announced a new project to trace the tumor causing genes in children which aims to find early cancer cases. They hope this research may help treatment of cancer in children

True friend “of lung cancer is smoking. This is reinforced by the results of research, whether conducted in Indonesia and abroad, that the majority or 80 percent of lung cancer caused by smoking.

It dipubikasikan National Cancer Center Hospital Dharmais as Prostate Cancer Awareness Early Detection in RS Dharmais. Furthermore, say, lung cancer is the growth of neoplastic (tumor), which are malignant, which originated from one type of cell in the airways (bronchi).

Here are some symptoms of lung cancer. Symptoms generally are not experiencing shrinkage appetite and weight. While the specific symptoms directly related to the lung, such as coughing, lots of phlegm, cough blood, shortness of breath, and chest pain.

The publication also mentions that anyone at high risk for lung cancer. They are men aged 40 years and over, active smokers and passive smokers, and those who work in environments that contain carcinogens. Carcinogen is a substance or factor that can cause cancer.

For that, they are advised to conduct sputum examinations regularly. In addition, chest x-ray examination on a regular basis every 4-6 months. With this expected to be found in early-stage lung cancer.

The best way to avoid cancer is to avoid starting to smoke for those who do not smoke, but if a smoker then immediately stops, avoid cigarette smoke of others. For companies that comply with the regulations on occupational health and safety.

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer in men. Other cancers that often nest on “The Adam” is a cancer of the stomach and prostate cancer.

A recent study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology revealed that adults who are regularly active, whether through exercise or work, lower risks of cancer.

A study involving nearly 80,000 adult men and women in Japan showed that men and women who regularly active lower risks of various types of cancer. Having investigated further, regular exercise apparently associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and stomach cancers.

They also found that the protective effect was strongest among men or women of normal weight.
This certainly supports the theory that physical activity can reduce cancer risk, at least partly through better weight control.

In that study, Dr. Manami Inoue and colleagues at the National Cancer Center in Tokyo analyzed the incidence of cancer in 79 771 male and female participants aged 45-74. Between 1995 and 1999 timeframe, these participants were surveyed about the level of physical activity they do, diet, and habits and their lifestyle. Researchers continue to follow this development until 2004, and found more than 4300 new cancer cases diagnosed.

In general, researchers say, the risk of developing any cancer dipped slightly as participants’ activity levels. On average, male participants’ physical activity most often 13 percent lower risk of cancer than the least active men physically. The most active women 16 percent lower risk of cancer than their counterparts who often just sat quietly working continuously.

The link held true when the researchers accounted for other factors such as age, weight, smoking habits, and intake of calories per day.

Physical activity was defined not only on leisure-time exercise, but also the amount of time participants typically spent walking, physical activity at work, and housework.

“Our results suggest that increased daily total physical activity (not just sports) may be beneficial in preventing the development of cancer in men and women in Japan,” said Inoue.

Researchers also noted that Japan’s population is on average thinner may be related to decreased risk of this cancer.

Thus we can conclude, physical activity may help prevent cancer, controlling body weight. “Theoretically, physical activity also has other positive effects in terms of delaying the occurrence of cancer,” said Inoue.

Inoue added, such as physical activity, can stimulate the immune system which is one of the body’s natural ability to fight cancer. It may also be related to levels of certain hormones, including sex hormones and other growth factors that can trigger the growth and spread of tumors.
