    Approach to Care of Cancer

    Cancer is considered the second leading cause of death in the United States resulting in about 25% of deaths (Copstead, & Banasik, 2010). The term cancer encompasses a cluster of more than one hundred diseases. Though there are various kinds of cancer, all cancers start due to abnormal cells growth. The typical characteristic of a cancerous cell is that they grow out of control and invade other tissue through the bloodstream or lymph vessels. If untreated, cancers can result in serious complications and death (American cancer Society (ACS), 2012). Although the cause of various cancers remains unknown, still there are several known causes such as: genetic factors; lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol use, diet, and physical activity; certain types of infections for example, HPV and HIV; and environmental exposures to different types of chemicals and radiation (ACS, 2014). It is predicted by ACS (2012) that 1/2 of all men and 1/3 of all women in the United States will develop cancer in their lifetime. The risk of many cancers could be minimized by lifestyle modification and screening. This paper will discuss the diagnosis and staging of cancer, three complications of the disease, side effects of treatment, and methods to minimize physical and psychological effects of cancer treatments. Diagnosis…

    According to the National Cancer Institute

    According to the National Cancer Institute, lung cancer is the second most common cancer and primary cause of cancer-related death in both men and women in the United States. The overall death rate for lung and bronchus cancers rose steadily through the 1980s, peaked in the early 1990s, and has been slowly declining since 2001. Trends in lung cancer incidence and death rates have closely mirrored historical patterns of smoking prevalence, after accounting for a gap period. Because the prevalence of smoking peaked later in women than in men, lung cancer incidence and death rates began declining later for women than men. The incidence rate has been declining since the mid-1980s in men but only since the mid-2000s in women; the mortality rate began declining in 1991 in men and but not until 2003 in women. Incidence and mortality rates are highest among African American men, followed by white men.…

    Make no mistake; lung cancer is the most deadly form of cancer death. I decided for statistics I would research information on lung cancer deaths in the United States. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) the last reported year for lung cancer deaths is 2007. Let’s look at the statistics. In the US alone, "109,643 men and 93,893 women were told they had lung cancer, and 88,329 men and 70,354 women died from it." (U.S. Cancer Statistics Working Group, 2010) Now let’s take a look at the statistics by gender and race. For men, "black men were diagnosed with lung cancer most…

    breast cancer reflection

    Breast cancer is a global disease that even though it is very serious, early detection can make a huge difference in a female individual. My article discusses the idea, and it is an idea because as stated, it is a preliminary finding which requires further investigation, nevertheless, I think it’s good to start from somewhere. The article states that high fat diet during puberty increases the risk of breast cancer. The finding was made through a study from the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program at Michigan State University, which indicated that before any tumors appear, there are changes in the breast that include increased cell growth and alterations in immune cells. I believe this is a great topic for a health science class for students, has many other broader areas of work and subject to further discuss such disease and preventions that can be made and helps teachers have more knowledge as to what diseases can be prevented from articles like this one.…

    Cigarette Must Be Banned

    In spite of the fact that using tobacco is the leading cause of dangerous diseases and illnesses, including cancers and cardiovascular disease, more than twenty percent of Americans and Canadians still smoke every year (Bellver, Melo and Soares). The impacts of tobacco are larger than smokers could imagine. Tobacco smoke contains more than two hundred toxic chemicals. More seriously, sixty-nine of those chemicals are classified as carcinogens (Kushihashi). This reliable statistic proves that a common disease caused by tobacco use is cancer. Over 150,000 deaths were caused by tobacco related cancer in 1990 (“Deaths Caused by Smoking in the U.S., 1990”). It is clear that using tobacco in the long term affects the smokers’ health directly. Due to the dangerous effects on their health, the more the smokers use tobacco, the sooner the smokers die.…

    Lung cancer is the largest single cause of cancer deaths in the United States. For years, men were at higher risk for lung cancer because of higher smoking rates. However, with more women smoking, lung cancer surpassed breast cancer in 1987 as the leading cause of cancer deaths among women. Over the last two decades, lung cancer deaths have increased 150 percent in women, compared to an increase of about 20 percent in men. In fact, with all outside factors being equal, women have a greater risk of developing lung cancer than men. Several studies have suggested that estrogen may help lung cancers to grow, increasing the risk of lung cancer developing in women.…
