Vitamin D Depress the Risk of Breast Cancer

Latest research indicated that increasing of vitamin D consumption through food and sunlight exposure was related to the declining of breast cancer risk.

According to American Journal of Epidemiology, issued at 20th October 2009, Vitamin D intake can depress estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), both of them are cancer hormone receptors.

You can analog the receptor hormone as “ear in breast cell”. It will hear the signal from the hormone. When the signal comes out and order your body, cancer cell will be produced in breast cell and it contains lot of receptor.

Cancer called ER-positive (ER+) if the cancer growth caused by the existence of Estrogen hormone receptor. While, if the growth of cancer caused by progesterone hormone, the cancer will be called PR-positive (PR+).

This research was established by Blackmore KM and partners from Mount Sinai Hospital at Ontario, Canada. The research was held by comparing 758 breast cancer patients and 1,135 participants who don’t suffer from cancer. Researchers found that participants who consume high level of vitamin D intake had 26% declining risk of ER and PR breast cancer and 21% declining of ER or PR tumor.

That study also indicated that vitamin D was related to declining of breast cancer risk without knowing the status is ER or PR tumor.

Vitamin D found in food such as cod liver oil, juice, cereal, and milk. You can also have it through sunlight exposure.

All About Malignant Cancer

Breast Cancer is a malignant tumor which growth under breast tissue. The cancer starts to grow in the mammary gland or fat tissue.

At the height of women awareness to do regular examination for their breast, the mortality level can be reduced, especially for patient under 30 years old. But, if the cancer has been exist in your body longer, you should go through a serial test and examination.

# Stadium 1
In this stadium, the cancer lump is not more than 2 cm and can not be detected from outside. A systematic treatment will be given to that cancer in this stadium, the purpose is to make the cancer cell doesn’t spread and not continuous to the next level. In this stadium, possibility to recover is 70%.

# Stadium 2
The possibility to recover in this stadium is 30 - 40 %, depends on the area or scope of cancer cell spreading. Usually, the width of the lump has been more than 2 cm, in fact, it can reach until 5 cm and the spread level has been reach to armpit area. Or the size of the cancer has been reach 5 cm but still not spread yet. Usually, doctor will do some operation to take up cancer cell at all spreading are, and after surgery doctor will do some illumination or radiation to make sure there is no other cancer cell left.

# Stadium 3A
87% breast cancer was diagnosed in this stadium. The lump has been more than 5 and has been spread until spleen gland.

# Stadium 3B
Cancer has been spread through all part of the breast, even through the skin, ribs and breast muscle. Besides, the spread also attack the spleen gland savagely. If that so, there is no other alternative ways than breast removal.

# Stadium 4
Cancer cell has been creep spread to other part of the body, bone, lungs, liver or brain. It can also attack skin, and spleen gland in the neck. Same like stadium 3, the action doctor should do is breast removal.

Here are some terminology of medical action doctor will do to stop the growth of cancer cell :

- Lumpectomy
The common word is lump removal. Usually, this removal also include little part of healthy tissue. In this way, the healthy remain tissue is expected to reform the breast naturally.

- Radical Mastectomy
Radical Mastectomy is part or whole breast removal include the breast muscle under the breast to prevent spreading of the cancer cell getting wider. Now, this method is rarely done in medicine technology.

- Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a therapy given as certain drugs which have very strong effect (anticancer). This therapy is given orally or intravenous (injection). This treatment is given regularly with 3 to 6 months cycle.

- Hormonal therapy
Hormone is working as inhibitor of cancer cell growth.

- Radiation Therapy
This treatment usually give coincide with lumpectomy or mastectomy. The function of this therapy is to destroy cancer cell to prevent the spreading of cancer cell to other part of the body.

Breast cancer verdict is not the end of life, doctor is a human who can say anything. But, still God determines everything, including human life. So, don’t be desperate, whatever your condition is, you still have a hope!

Cancer Case Raise Up More Than 100% In 100 Years

It’s the time for you to change if you aware of the carcinogens and poisons in your everyday personal care items.

One of the most frightening things a person can hear from their doctor is, you have cancer. Why? Because, until now, there’s no cure for cancer and if they are still alive, that person must have been endure high risk operation or dreadfully chemotherapy. It is expensive and induced illness, hair loss and other side effects of radiation.

You have to know what is the cause of cancer, and you can also prevent or minimize your potential exposure and how you can support your body's natural abilities to protect itself from cancer.

Cancer has become an epidemic, effecting massive numbers of people in all social and economic groups. Death from cancer is exceeded only by heart disease. As comparison, 1 in 2 of all men and 1 in 3 of all women today will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime. This is a massive increase over the 1 person in 80 who contracted cancer 100 years ago. That means the number of cancer victims has been raise up 100% in 100 years.

Beware of severe obesity this may reduce your life for 20 years than people who are not overweight. This year, about 1,200,000 new cancer cases will be diagnosed in the USA alone, with hundreds of thousands more in the UK and in Australia and other Western countries.
Although small improvements have occurred in treating some cancers, the overall rate of recovery for cancer patients has changed very little over the past 50 years. The average cancer survival rate was about 50% in 1950, and it is still about 50% today. For African-Americans, the survival rate in 1950 was under 40%, and it also remains about the same today.

Chemotherapy For Cancer
Don’t you ever think that chemotherapy is very effective in treating cancer and in saving the lives of cancer victims. That’s totally wrong. Chemotherapy consists of a mixture of highly toxic drugs which are given the patient in a series of treatments over a period of time. Research shows that chemotherapy can often cause a partial or even complete shrinkage of a tumour, although this shrinkage does not necessarily prolong expected survival.

In fact cancer often returns even more aggressively than before, because chemotherapy has created more resistant cells. In addition, a strongly negative side effect of chemo is that it can severely damage the body's immune system as well as the kidneys and liver.
