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.

Often heard green tea good for health? Did you know that according to Taiwanese scientists, drink a glass of green tea or more a day can resist the ill effects of cigarettes can cause lung cancer, especially in smokers who did not have cancer, congenital gene.

I-Hsin Lin, a graduate student at Chung Shan Medical University in Taiwan says that the antioxidants in green tea can inhibit tumor growth. This research study presented at the American Association of Cancer Research at the confluence of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, Coronado, California, was in January 2010.

Lin found a protective effect, especially in smokers group that has specific genotype was not associated with cancer risk. Along with her team, he evaluates 170 patients with lung cancer and 340 healthy patients. They were asked to describe their smoking habits, drinking habits of their green tea and other lifestyle factors for five years.

These researchers do genotyping on the separation of the participants to see if any of them who have inherited genotype associated with cancer risk. These include IGF1, IGF2, and IGFBP3.

In general, the smokers and non smokers who did not drink green tea have a lung cancer risk five times greater than those who drank at least one drink a day, said Lin.

The green tea drinker who does not have an inherent risk of cancer genes have a decreased risk of lung cancer as much as 66 percent compared with the green tea drinkers have the innate genes susceptible to cancer.

Lin himself has said, the best way to avoid cancer cells are exposed to stop smoking, while only green tea reduces the risk.

Good news for your cell phone heavy users. There was no link between mobile phone use and cancer risk.
Thus the findings of a study of brain tumors, such as the Legal lansir from Nydailynews on Monday (7/12/2009).

No relationship was between the use of cell phones and cases of cancer in adulthood. The researchers found, there was no change in high rates of cancer incidence between 1998 and 2003 compared with the two previous dekada, according to a report in the Telegraph UK.

The study headed by Dr. Isabelle Deltor from Danish Cancer Society and his colleagues are focusing research on the Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish. The countries were selected because of high cell phone usage.

Research carried out at 59. 984 people diagnosed with a brain tumor cases among the 16 million adult population, ages 20 and 79 years starting in 1974 until 2003.

“The case of brain tumors is less well understood. Only risk factors that already exist, namely radiation cancer ions and some of the symptoms of decline, reported cases represent a small portion of brain tumors,” according to research published in Deltour Journal of the National Cancer Institute .

Study confirms the conclusion, if the risks arising from the use of regular cell phones, will need more than 5-10 years for the appearance of tumors.

According to the Telegraph, the World Health Organization (WHO) hopes to soon release the results of a long study that stated, cell phone users face a higher risk of brain tumor growth in the future.

it’s like rowing two islands exceeded, so efficacy of bone tonic which was also useful to prevent breast cancer.

This preliminary conclusion resulting from the study of 151,592 female participants, in which 2216 participants are taking bisphosphonates or amplifier bone to prevent osteoporosis, at the beginning of the study.

Checked during the seven years later it was discovered only 31 percent of the participants who drank bone supplements with breast cancer. Positive benefits of this supplement to dominate, even after the researchers put a variety of factors, such as age, smoking habits, weight, hormones, and other factors that affect bone density and breast cancer.

Although this is not enough research to prove the benefits of these supplements for cancer prevention, but enough to give hope. Moreover, many women who consume these tablets bone amplifier.

However, experts still do not understand how these tablets work, whether because the bones become more resilient against the spread of cancer, or because the drug has side benefits as antitumor capable of preventing the emergence of cancer.

Other studies confirm the benefits of a tablet for the prevention of cancer is a study conducted in Israel experts. In a 2000 study comparing postmenopausal women with breast cancer in 2000 who did not have breast cancer, known from 29 percent of patients taking bisphosphonates first group.

However, these bone tablets is known to have side effects of pain in muscles and joints. Until now the recommended drugs to prevent breast cancer in healthy women is inhibiting hormone called tamoxifen and raloxifene.
