Malignant tumor

How often, recently, you can hear from friends about the sudden death of their relatives and friends from cancer. Yes, indeed, malignant tumors affect the world's population more and more, but medicines from them have not yet been invented.

Malignant tumor is the result of the process of degeneration of normal functioning tissues of the body into atypical, non-functioning ones. Figuratively one can imagine that the affected area of the human body becomes a tree and eventually grows in size and can "capture" the entire body.

It is interesting that scientists around the world can not fully understand the true cause of such uncontrolled cell division. All the existing etiological theories do not have a solid foundation, indicating the occurrence of cancer. For example, why in a family, all members of which lead the same lifestyle, one of the members still undergoes this disease, and the rest do not.

"An hereditary factor," you will say. But not all the children whose parents died of cancer suffer from malignant neoplasms.

If we turn to the opinion of people with paranormal abilities, they will most likely argue that a malignant tumor is nothing more than a curse or an evil rock that goes "back to the ancestors." But still, as this phenomenon is not called, it takes the lives of many thousands of people, including young people.

Let's still try to figure out what a malignant tumor is and how the process of its appearance can be prevented.

To begin with, this disease affects mainly the elderly generation, although to date, statists have noted a tendency to "rejuvenate" cancer. At a certain time, several carcinogenic factors act simultaneously on the organ or tissue of the body, which trigger the process of cell transformation, as a result of which new (cancerous) tissues can no longer perform the function in full. So the work of the whole organism is disrupted.

There are many varieties of malignant tumors that are classified by location, size, the presence of metastases and enlarged lymph nodes.

One of the most dangerous and fleeting forms is a malignant brain tumor. Patients with this form of neoplasm tend to suffer very hard chemotherapy and radiation treatment. The tumor very quickly metastasizes, while squeezing the formation of the brain. Accordingly, there is symptomatology of brain damage.

After some time after diagnosis of brain cancer , patients can find mental disorders, abnormalities in speech and hearing. It all depends on which part of the brain is affected.

Interesting is the fact that cancer, as a disease, was first described 1600 years BC. Ancient Egyptians. In papyri, it is told about an unknown disease of the breast of women, from which there is no treatment. After some time Hippocrates called this pathology carcinoma - cancer.

The ancient healers knew only two ways of influencing the given disease: to treat and not to treat. In the first case, the tumor was excised with nearby tissues, but when doctors diagnosed a process that was too run-up, they preferred simply to let a person die.

In principle, until now, the approach to treatment of tumor processes has not changed. Is that there was chemotherapy and radiation exposure. If the tumor is operable, it is removed, and if not, doctors try to maximize the patient's life.

Modern surgeons, of course, have a wider range of tools and techniques to qualitatively remove the tumor, while minimally traumatizing nearby structures and maximizing the function of the organ, which can not be said for the most ancient doctors who did not know what a laser beam and antiseptic facilities.
