INTRODUCTION: Leukemia means white blood. It is found in the bone marrow or blood and is characterized by an abnormal growth of blood cells, typically white blood cells (leukocytes)and is separated into its acute and chronic forms.
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.
INTRODUCTION: Lung cancer is a disease of uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lungs. It is one of the most common cancers in the United States, accounting for about 15 percent of all cases, or 170,000 new cases each year. It is also the worst cancer killer in America, taking more lives each year than breast, prostate and colorectal cancers combined, according to the American Cancer Society. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths in US women and is responsible for as many deaths as breast and all gynecological cancers combined.
INTRODUCTION: Prostate cancer is cancer of the small gland in men that creates the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. It is also the 2nd most common type of cancer among men in the US and is the third most common cause of death from cancer in men of all ages.
INTRODUCTION: Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is nearly always brought about by previous exposure to asbestos. The majority of people who develop it have inhaled asbestos particles while being employed on a job where asbestos is used, or they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fibre in some other way, such as by washing and cleaning the clothes of a family member who worked with or around asbestos.
INTRODUCTION: Colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine also known as the colon, the lower part of your digestive system. It is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the US, and the leading cause of deaths from cancer among non-smokers.
INTRODUCTION: Real bone cancer (aka primary bone cancer) occurs in over 2,000 americans each year. Cancer that begins in the bone – primary bone cancer – is rare. Early diagnosis and treatment of this malignancy increases the chance of survival. Children and young people are more apt than adults to develop cancer of the bones. In the past, amputation was normal for bone cancer in an arm or leg.
INTRODUCTION: Skin cancer represents the most commonly diagnosed malignancy, surpassing lung, breast, colorectal and prostate cancer. Skin cancer generally develops in the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin), so a tumor is usually clearly visible.
INTRODUCTION: Breast Cancer is a disease in which cancerous cells form in the breast. It is the number one cause of death among women between 40 and 55 years of age, the second overall cause of death for women (exceeded only by lung cancer) and is rising worldwide. Breast cancer is more easily treated and usually curable if it is found early.
Introduction: Gastric cancer (stomach cancer) is the fourth most common cancer in the world with 930,000 cases diagnosed in 2002. It mostly affects older people – 2 out of three people who have it are over age 65. Stomach cancer is more readily treated when found early.
