In a study of 95,396 women there were 4782 cases of invasive breast cancer during 20 years from 1986 to 2006. Breast cancer risk was lower in women who did more exercise. What Sort of Moderate Activity is Best? Unfortunately at the moment there is no data on the type of exercise that works best to reduce breast cancer risk. “Although greater activity has been related to lower postmenopausal breast cancer risk, important details remain unclear, including type, intensity, and timing of activity.” The researchers did report that 5 hours of brisk walking per week was “sufficient to reduce the risk of breast cancer”. This is within the Governments current guidelines for exercise. The report admits that there are limitations to the accuracy of the information as the subjects of the study carried out a self assessment of their activity levels.

This disease is a very rare cancerous tumor than generally forms in the liver and can travel elsewhere. The disease can start on a child from infancy to 3 years old. Prognosis and long term survival can vary on a child depending on how early the disease is diagnosed and what treatment plans are considered. Chemotherapy is the most common form of treatment however there are also; surgery, liver transplant, supportive care, and continuous follow-up care.  Hepatocellular carcinoma or HCC is another liver cancer developed in children between ages 10-16 years. The Function of the Liver What is the function of a liver and why is it important to catch this disease early? The primary function is detoxifying the liver of toxic chemicals. Its other functions include protein synthesis and production of biochemicals that are necessary for digestion. There is no way the body can function without a liver, and in most cases liver transplants can lead to long term health complications. This organ has a number of functions in the body which include hormonal production of the body, protein synthesis, and decomposition of red [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/hepatoblastoma-an-uncommon-childhood-illness/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Milk Teeth may Prevent Disease in the Future</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/news/milk-teeth-may-prevent-disease-in-the-future</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/news/milk-teeth-may-prevent-disease-in-the-future#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:02:09 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Marcia</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[alzheimer's]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Milk teeth]]></category> <category><![CDATA[stem cells]]></category> <guid

It kills the tumorous cells by blocking the activity of the BRAF gene, which is believed to be the cause of the spread of skin cancer. The drug works at the molecular level, representing a seismic shift in cancer treatment. So far trials have involved just 31 people, but results have been very good. The research work is being carried out by scientists at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital in New York. The drug is only a treatment for skin cancer at the moment, which could prolong life for sufferers. It is not currently capable of curing the condition, although scientists are hopeful that this could one day lead to a cure.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/new-skin-cancer-drug-could-cure-cancer/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>How to Detect and Treat Ovarian Cancer</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-and-treat-ovarian-cancer</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-and-treat-ovarian-cancer#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:25:44 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Marcia</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ovarian cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ovarian cancer diagnose]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ovarian cancer risk factors]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ovarian cancer symptoms]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ovarian cancer treatment]]></category> <guid

There are two types of ovarian cancer, Epithelial, which starts in the tissue around the ovary and is the most common. The second type is rarer and is called germ cell tumours, starting within the cells that produce eggs. There are some factors that can increase the risk of a woman developing ovarian cancer they are as follows: Family genes or history of ovarian, breast, uterus, urinary or bowel cancer Increased risk at an older age Starting menstruation at a young age Late menopause Intake of HRT may increase the risk a little Infertility may also be related to a higher risk There are also some factors that can decrease the risk of a woman developing ovarian cancer they are as follows: Having children and breastfeeding Use of contraceptive pill – benefits last even after stopping taking it Being sterilised or having a hysterectomy What symptoms you should be alert to? The early symptoms can be mistaken for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and for this reason are often ignored, they include pain in the lower abdomen or sideways and [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-and-treat-ovarian-cancer/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Breast Cancer Self Examination</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/breast-cancer-self-examination</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/breast-cancer-self-examination#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:15:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medimise</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[bras]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breast cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breast cancer screening]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mammography]]></category> <category><![CDATA[self examination]]></category> <category><![CDATA[women's health]]></category> <guid

The purpose is to identify changes in the breast structure, especially lumps. Self examination can only help to detect some forms of breast cancer, there is no guarantee that it will always successfully detect cancerous growth. It is recommended that women over the age of 40 include a mammography in their general medical check up every 1-2 years. How to check your breasts for signs of cancer Stand upright with your upper body exposed in front of a mirror. Start with your hands on your hips while just looking for signs of dimpling, swelling, soreness, or redness. Repeat this visual examination with your arms raised above your head. While still standing, palpate (i.e. examine by touch) your breasts with your fingers, feeling for lumps. Try to use a larger area of your fingers rather than prodding. Feel both the area just beneath the skin and the tissue deeper within. Go over the entire breast while examining. One method is to divide the breast into quadrants and palpate each quadrant carefully. Also examine the “axillary tail” of each breast that extends toward the axilla (armpit). Repeat palpation [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/breast-cancer-self-examination/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>How to Detect and Treat Breast Cancer</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-breast-cancer</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-breast-cancer#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:15:09 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Marcia</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breast cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breast cancer screening]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mammography]]></category> <category><![CDATA[self examination]]></category> <category><![CDATA[women’s health]]></category> <guid

The breast is composed of a group of glands and ducts protected by a fatty tissue. When cancer occurs the cells start to divide and multiply quickly growing in an abnormal pace. It can start within the mammary glands or ducts and spread to the lymph nodes and the fat tissue around the breast. Although, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer amongst women under 35, only 8,000 women are diagnosed before their menopause, of which 2,000 are in their 20s or 30s, out of 44,000 women diagnosed each year. There are some factors that can increase the risk of a woman developing breast cancer they are as follows: Starting menstruation at a young age, before 12 years old. Late menopause, after 55 years old Being overweight, in particular after the menopause If it is in the family history and/or inherited genes Intake of HRT – only while taking it, the risks are reduced after stopping taking it Regular intake of more than one unit of alcohol every day Having previously had [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-breast-cancer/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
