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.

Cancer has now become a central issue in several countries in Asia. In some countries, even the cancer has become the number one cause of death. Therefore, cancer prevention should be a priority.

The remark was made Malcolm A Moore of the International Union Against Cancer Asian Regional Office for Cancer Control at the National Seminar on Cancer Management in Indonesia in Jakarta Dharmais Cancer Hospital, Monday (10/11).

National seminar about cancer was held to commemorate the 15th Anniversary Dharmais Cancer Hospital.

According to Committee Chairman Dr Abidin Widjanarko Seminar, World Health Organization (WHO) has predicted that cancer will become the number one killer in the year 2030. This fact can be seen from the increase in the average number of deaths each year, significantly increasing the number of smokers are 57 million people, the number of people who consume alcohol and the number of people suffering from obesity.

Today, various sectors such as universities, education in the hospital, professional affiliation and NGOs need to work together tackling cancer.

Preventive measures was expressed by the experts in the framework of the World Cancer Day. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one of eight deaths a day caused by cancer. The amount is more than AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. WHO warned, without any change, cancer deaths worldwide could reach 17 million by 2030 from 7.6 million today.

In a report launched the International Union Against Cancer, the experts revealed that 21 percent of all cancers caused by infection, such as the HPV virus that causes cervical cancer and hepatitis infections that cause liver cancer.

We have been cancer-preventing vaccine available, but only available in developed countries. No wonder 80 percent of deaths from cervical cancer occur in poor and developing countries.

“Policymakers around the world have the opportunity and obligation to make a vaccine to save the lives of many people. They also need to be campaigning for lifestyle changes to reduce cancer risk,” Cary said Adam, Chairman of the International Union Against Cancer, in press release.

Experts argue, common cancers suffered by people in developed countries, such as lung cancer, breast, and colon cancer, could have been prevented if they want to change his lifestyle.

Healthy lifestyle coupled with nutritious diet and exercise is the most effective way to ward off cancer, which until now has not known the cause of this. Although still controversial, one of the myths that many believed to reduce the risk of this cancer is the frequency of sex that often.

Many doctors observed that the man was fit for regular exercise and frequent sexual intercourse rarely have prostate problems. Scholars who support this theory also says ejaculate expenditure will make the channel in the penis is not clogged.

A study published in The British Journal of Urology found that sexual activity of males between the ages of 50 years can provide protection from this disease. “This is due to release of toxins that accumulate during sexual activity can reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer in the region,” said Polyxeni Dimitropoulou who led the study. However, it needs further study.

The following classification of skin according to The Fitzpatrick Classification of Skin Type, which consists of six categories:

1. Always burns, never be more dark, brown (pale skin, white).

2. Flammable, in menimal brown (white).

3. Simply burn, to brown them evenly (tan leather).

4. Burns minimally, always tan well (brown leather).

5. Rarely burns, with clear brown (dark brown skin).

6. Never burn (the skin pigment that contains dark brown to black).

People with skin type 1 usually have pale skin, white, red or blond hair, green eyes or blue, and the descendants of Celtic (Irish, Scottish, Welsh, or Breton). People with this skin type’s most high-risk of experiencing a variety of skin problems due to exposure to sunlight, including skin cancer and photoaging.

People with type 2 and 3 have white skin with pigmentation more clearly, and have moderate to high risk for skin problems from the sun.

While they were with the type 4 and 5 have an olive skin color to brown, and moderate to low risk for experiencing skin problems. Type 6 is the skin of those who have dark brown to black. The risk of this skin type to skin problems from the sun is only minimum.

“People still perceive cancer as a deadly disease, an incurable, and can not be prevented and a high cost for treatment,” said Director General of Disease Control and Environmental Health (P2PL) Ministry of Health, Prof. Tjandra Yoga Aditama, in his statement welcoming Cancer Day fell worldwide on Thursday (4/2/2010) it.

According to Tjandra, wrong perception about the cancer can not be separated from the still lack of public awareness and lack of information about the disease and how to prevent it.

“There are still many problems and obstacles faced, such as lack of information about cancer to the public, the public perception of cancer that is not true as incurable cancer, a shameful disease, and believe in the occult in the treatment of cancer. In addition, the lack of public awareness in preventing cancer as early as possible. On the program, the cancer has not become a priority, especially in the area, “said Tjandra.

Cancer and tumors, continued Tjandra, acknowledged was still a top killer diseases in Indonesia. Based on data from Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2008, the tumor / cancer is the leading cause of death no. 7 in Indonesia with 5.7 percent presentation. Riskesdas 2008 data also showed that the prevalence of tumor / cancer in Indonesia is 4.3 per 1000 population.

Breast and cervical cancer, the highest
Among the many types, continued Tjandra, cancer most commonly found in Indonesia is a case of cancer of female breast cancer and cervical cancer. Based on data from Hospital Information System (SIRS) in 2007, breast cancer cases recorded at 8227 (16.85 percent) and 5786 breast cancer cases (11.78 percent). While the highest cancer in males is lung cancer incidence with an estimated 20 per 100,000 men (GLOBOCAN, IARC 2002). According to SIRS 2007, cases of bronchus and lung cancer were 2847 cases (5.8%)

Currently, Tjandra said, efforts to control the number of cancer patients is by way of education and prevention “of cancer control efforts are effectively done is to provide information to the widest public that cancer can be prevented, by knowing the risk factors and to primary prevention, secondary, and tertiary integrated, “he said.

MOH also try to decrease morbidity and mortality of cancer in Indonesia through the programs measured. We have given priority cancer control program at the highest cancer of cervix cancer and breast with the formation of early detection of the pilot projects in 6 provinces (6th district) and its development until the currently running in 11 districts / cities, using the method of Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA ) and Clinical Breast Examination (CBE).

“The program of early detection of cervical cancer and breast cancer have a target of 80 per cent of women aged 30-50 years for the screening which is expected to avoid both these cancers. In the year 2014 Ministry of Health target of 25 percent districts in Indonesia will implement early detection of cervical cancer with IVA and breast cancer by CBE, “said Tjandra.

Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth of cells that attack and cause damage to surrounding tissue. Oral cancers arise due to the growth or sores on the mouth that is not lost. Cancer includes cancer of the mouth lips, tongue, cheek, floor of the mouth, soft palate and hard, sine, and pharynx (throat), can be life threatening if not diagnosed and treated early.

Factor risk of mouth cancer include:
* Smoking
* Menginang
* Excessive alcohol consumption
* History mouth cancer in the family
* Hit by excessive sunlight.

Symptoms
* Swelling
* Penderahan obscure musababnya in the mouth
* The pain / pain in the face, mouth, and neck.
* Kesulitasn chewing, swallowing, and speaking
* Chronic hoarseness

Treatment
Choice of treatment depends mainly on public health, where in the mouth or oropharynx the cancer began, tumor size, and whether the cancer has spread. The doctor can describe treatment options and expected results.

Are preservatives, nitrates, chemicals and other additives cause cancer?

You know, we often hear stories that connect the various additives, chemicals, and dyes with cancer risk. This could have happened. But basically, the evidence was not shown the truth of the relationship. In fact, some of the antioxidant preservative, which can keep us.

I think people are too much with these theories when they are better focused on ways to reduce their risk of cancer with weight loss, exercise, and healthy diet.

Why are fruits, vegetables, and plant foods seem to protect us from cancer?

Food bernabati possibilities offered protection in several ways. They provide thousands of phytochemicals, natural plant ingredients. Many antioxidants that can maintain and repair DNA. Some antioxidants appear to attack the cancer cells, controlling the growth and spread. Vitamins and minerals in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and nuts also help to produce and repair DNA and control cell growth.

Some foods have a direct effect on some types of cancer. Like, plant foods contain fiber, which seems to reduce the risk of colon cancer. The indirect benefits of eating low-fat foods. Calories tend to be less, so we can add the food without getting a lot of calories.

Is organic food the best prevention against cancer?

Eating organic food is a good choice, but it’s not necessary it is recommended to reduce the risk of cancer. You can find studies that show higher organic food nutrition and protection of phytochemicals, but others said no. Although those concerned with pesticide residues, not all plants contain non-organic pesticides. Less than 1% of content is in the amount above the tolerance level.

If you choose organic, it was good. However, organic fruit and vegetables a greater expense. So eat less fruits and vegetables that you can only buy organic, it’s not a good idea. People should not put them at risk if they eat foods that are grown conventionally.

How does physical activity affect cancer risk?

Physical activity has a vital role in reducing cancer risk. Directly exercise can reduce insulin levels, inflammasi, and reproductive hormone levels. Indirectly, the move can help achieve and maintain ideal weight, as well as preventing obesity that occurs in adults when they get older.

American Institute for Cancer Research recommends physical activity is, at least 30 minutes a day. If you can afford, you need to reach 60 minutes per day or 30 minutes with more severe activity. This not only protects us from cancer, but also maintain weight.

Is meat or similar food contributed to the risk of cancer?

There are quite convincing relationship between red meat and colon cancer, and possibly other cancers as well. Not just fat, although choosing lean meat for nutrition, this is not enough to reduce the risk of cancer. However, you do not have to give up. Ate 1.8 kg of red meat per week is safe.

Eating meat that has been processed, such as marinated, injected, diasapkan, or plus preserved a greater risk of colon cancer. So, should be limited.

In addition you must be careful with the sodium. More than 2400 milligrams a day will increase the risk of stomach cancer. Alcohol also increases the risk of some cancers. Women should not drink more than one drink a day and men no more than two.

Warts are skin growth caused by a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus causes rapid growth of cells on the outer skin layer. As we know, warts are not the sort of cancer.

In fact, warts are usually harmless and often go away. But if the warts are annoying or embarrassing can be eliminated.

Symptoms
The visible signs of warts include:
* Ketch and rough lumps on the skin
* Colorful, white, pink or brown
* Rough to the touch

Warts usually grow on the hands, fingers, or near the nail. Can also grow in other parts of the body.

Treatment

Warts do not require treatment, but can be eliminated. Treatment without the help of a doctor by using salicylic acid, which is conducted regularly and diligently to overcome the problem of warts. Although eliminated, the possibility of warts will recur after treatment, and will be ongoing problems.

cancer disease types Myxopapillary spinal ependymoma is one of the rare cancer cases found in Indonesia. Zulfikar, 12-year old boy was detected as the first patient with the case.

Until now Fikar still struggling to fight cancer cells that attack the body. Although life expectancy is thin, the orphans still have a great spirit to heal and happy mother of a loved one, only one nuclear family owned after his father died 2 years ago.

Fikar treated at the Cancer Hospital was declared a doctor Dharmais cancer Myxopapillary rare ependymoma. Symptoms that arise for this disease is the back pain, rectal area, the second leg and hip pains lead to (sore waist).

This disease involves the Conus and cauda equina. Spontaneous pain occurs usually associated with the Conus, while the most prominent symptoms occur in patients usually occurs in the cauda equina. Cauda equina pain involving the thigh and leg areas.

As quoted from Emedicine, Friday (25/12/2009) patients often experience sensory decline due to injuries (lesions) in the cauda equina. While autonomic dysfunction such as decreased bladder function, and impotence is an early symptom of the injury (lesion) Conus medullaris.

Patients who have a spinal tumor in Conus and cauda equina can have a combination of symptoms. As these tumors grow, leg paralysis, muscle atrophy and decreased function of the foot leg. If the condition is getting worse, can make the patient could not move his limbs.

Fikar who suffer from this disease would have to lose weight of nearly 20 kg. This is because the day his condition grew worse and the food was no longer able to enter through the throat. That the only intake that entered her body only through intravenous fluids alone.

“I still hope that one day could be cured Fikar, he still has high spirits,” said the mother Nurhasanah when found in detikHealth Dharmais Cancer Hospital, on Thursday (24/12/2009).

Fikar belly bulge, smaller bones, and his face more gaunt. Several times the doctor had to suck the fluid in his lungs to keep his soul. But because the conditions are still weak Fikar it can not be issued once all the liquid.

Currently still receiving treatment Fikar Morphin form. But if it had been consumed in pill form that must be taken every 6 hours or so then now Morphin given in the form as attached patches on the skin and can last up to 4-5 days.

Fikar began complaining ill since February 2009. Zulfikar often complain of pain and stiffness in her body even though at that time, the pain has not disrupt their activities. Pain is not felt directly examined. But in early August 2009 the pain in her back came, but this time the pain is accompanied by bleeding in the urine.

Since early-stage cancer found in September, within two months of the bone cancer has become advanced stage. Doctors said his life expectancy was thin due to undermine his cancer. Only a miracle can cure.

Support to recover Fikar to come from many parties. Several pilot of Garuda Indonesia Airlines Special to come visit him because Fikar always aspired to be a pilot.

“Fikar since grade 1 had a goal to become a pilot, a doctor deliberately to bring pilots here Fikar inspiring life,” his mother said.

Fikar sympathy for the situation also came from the Ministry of Women Linda Perbedayaan Gumelar, Jeffri Al Ustadz Buchari, football players Bambang Pamungkas as a hobby Fikar play station play ball, celebrity Panji Wicaksono and also a flight attendant whose children had suffered a lung infection.

Fikar condition was half conscious, talking and started babbling a bit harsh do not like him personally as yet ill. “Maybe because of the influence given Morphin, now Fikar become a little more rough and fierce. And once she did not like that,” says her mother
