For the purpose of this article, Lung Cancer, Skin Cancer, Brain Cancer and Breast Cancer will be critically discussed. Their causes, symptoms and prevention will be the areas of concentration. Let us start with Lung Cancer.
LUNG CANCER
Lung Cancer is disease that usually develops from the lung. It does not easily show up until when it gets to a particular extent. That means, victim of lung cancer may not know or feel presence of the disease until it gets developed almost beyond control. It is difficult to cure when gets to this level. The lung cancer is very dangerous because its victim will not know until it developed and when developed, its cure is rare. Here, prevention is better than cure. The reason is that percentage of who got lung cancer and got healed completely is very low.
CAUSES OF LUNG CANCER
★ Smoke from industry is one of the causes of the lung cancer. May be your home of residence is close to any industry where smoke is always polluting the air and there is no any mean of prevention for the smoke. This can cause cancer of the lung.
★ Cigarette Smoking is another dreadful cause of lung cancer. In fact, it is the one rated as the most dangerous cause of lung cancer. Thousands of chemical compounds are contained in the cigarette smoke. Through these numerous chemical compounds, lung cancer can issue out.
★ Smoke from various engines such as power generator also helps the disease to develop. It is not only smoke from cigarette that causes this but also smoke from vehicles or motorcycles. Cells will be growing gradually abnormally.
SYMPTOMS OF LUNG CANCER
★ Frequent Cough.
★ Weight Loss
★ Weakness
★ Chest Pain
★ Breathing Difficulty
★ Streaking of Blood.
HOW TO PREVENT LUNG CANCER?
If you believe that prevention is better than cure, it is essential for you to hold back from tobacco smoking. Make your place of residence far from industry where smoke is being generated. When you want to switch on your power generator, be careful not to get affected by its smoke.
IS THERE TREATMENT FOR LUNG CANCER?
Yes. Just consult your doctor because this blog does not support self-medication but can only give you prevention; not cure. Once you are noticing any of the above symptoms, just go to your doctor for checkup, medical treatment and professional advice.
SKIN CANCER
Skin cancer can develop in any part of human body where sunshine can hit. Such places are face, arms, scalp, nose, ears, lips, hands and any other places that normally expose to sunshine.
Advice is that you should visit your doctor to examine yourself when you are noticing strange effect in any part of your skin. Your doctor will examine you to discover the problem and its causes, most especially when you are getting worried.
BREAST CANCER
It is a kind of disease that is usually grow from cells to produce tumor. Breast cancer is found commonly among ladies, it is rare among men as its percentage is 1%. It happens to women within ages of 50 and 70.
CAUSES
The causes of breast cancer include environmental factors and sometimes by genetic mutilations. Alcoholic drink and smoking of cigarette are included as the causes of the disease.
It may be inherited, that is if someone had had it before in your family, there is tendency that you too can develop it if care is not taken.
SYMPTOMS
When the breast cancer just started to develop, there will not be any specific sign that can notify its victim until tumor begins to sum up. Meanwhile, the following signs can be noted as breast cancer symptoms:
★ several pain in armpits.
★ Appearance of rashes around nipples.
★ Skin of the breast may begin peeling and it may be on the nipples.
★ Appearance of red skin around nipples colored like a ripped orange.
★ there can be excess existence of swell or lump under armpits.
★ Appearance of flaky skin around nipples
★ there may be change in size or shape of such breast.
PREVENTION
How can someone prevent oneself from having breast cancer? The first way I will consider to talk about is heredity . You might not know maybe someone in your family had had breast cancer which can be transmitted later. It is therefore essential to conduct research in order to confirm that .Provided you discover that someone had it before in your family, it is important to go for checkup and your doctor will render you effective advice that can assist your situation.
The second one I will like to talk about is "alcoholic drinks". I do not know the reason why people should be engaging in drinking of alcohol that does not add any good value to their living. If you love yourself and determine to prevent your life against breast cancer, even other categories of cancer, you need to help yourself. Who has been addicted with the act of drinking alcohol has the greatest risk of the disease.
The third prevention is regular exercise. The regular physical exercise is a tip not only for preventing breast cancer but any other forms of illness. Your health can be maximized by this. A woman who can do physical exercise for at least 30 minutes daily will enjoy better health living and will also guarantee your healthy weight. Whoever has healthy weight will have privilege to move fast while walking or running, he or she will not always feel like sitting all time. Some people cannot stand for 30 minutes while some people also cannot walk for 10 minutes before breathing heavily. Therefore, it is important to exercise regularly.
BRAIN CANCER
The brain cancer is an abnormal development of cells to tumor in the brain. It can occur to man or woman, young or old, children or adult. The disease can be transmitted into the brain via blood flowing to the brain if there is the disease in any part of human body.
CAUSES
Apart from the fact that cancer can get into the brain through blood, there are other direct causes like too much exposure to radiation of your head. Some people believe that using of mobile phone can also contribute to the problem. Not only that, it can be transmitted genetically that is if a person in your family had had this disease before.
SYMPTOMS
What I know as predominant symptom of the brain cancer is serious headache. Other symptoms are:
★Loss of memory.
★Unable to hear clearly.
★Unable to see clearly.
★Unable to think or to reason fast.
★Unable to smell or to feel touch.
★It can even mental problem.
★Comprehension difficulty.
★ Malfunction of one part of the body since it is the brain controls all action of parts of body.
PREVENTION
The first prevention I will mention is that you should always keep your cell phone away from your head. We have some ladies that do keep their phones on their heads while wearing hats. This is very dangerous and can cause brain cancer.
As I earlier mentioned that the brain tumor can be transmitted to the brain through blood tissue. This cannot be possible if there is no cancer in anywhere in your body, therefore, you must not allow anything that can cause cancer to your body. Do not smoke cigarette, do not drink too much alcohol, and do not get closer to where you can have contact with smoke from engines either from industry or vehicles.
Avoid exposing your head to radiation always. Keep your head from it and be saved.
Not only that, do not forget to check your family history to discover if anyone had had the disease in the family before. If yes, consult your doctor and do not forget that physical exercise is a major prevention.
