In the latest Journal of Clinical Investigation, British researchers released their new research result that antibody can kill cancer cell directly without human immune system, which would help to develop a new treatment for cancer.

Antibody can be used in cancer treatment. The basic principle is, combining with antibody, it will be easier for human immune system to identify cancer cells and then kill them.

University of Southampton declared in its press communique on July 21, a joint research team with University of Manchester found some antibodies could kill cancer cell directly bypassing human immune system. While those antibodies combining with cancer cells, the lysosome in cancer cell will burst and release toxic substance, which will kill cancer cell finally.

The Budwig Diet
is one of the best entirely natural ways of beating cancer, but despite its success rate it is still relatively unknown. There are numerous conventional forms of treating cancer in the world today, but the problem is that many of these have unpleasant side effects and can sometimes put the patient through a lot of pain.

The Budwig Diet takes a different approach to the treatment of cancer, and proves that many people can be cured from the devastating disease simply through the food that they eat. It is gradually beginning to gain acceptance as an effective treatment for cancer, and the positive results are proving time after time that it should be seen as a very real alternative to the conventional treatments. Here we will present the main elements of the Budwig Diet so that you too can benefit from its powerful effects.

Dr Budwig

Dr Johanna Budwig was the founder of the Budwig Diet. Born in 1908 and dying in 2003, she lived a long life that was dedicated almost exclusively to research into a cure for cancer. She made such a reputation for herself during her lifetime that she became one of the most eminent cancer researchers in Europe and was nominated for the Nobel Prize on no less than seven occasions.

TREATMENTS WHEN SURGERY IS NOT POSSIBLE.

For some people, surgery may be too risky. These people have other options for treating their kidney cancers, including:

1. Blocking blood flow to the tumor (embolization). In this procedure, a special material is injected into the main blood vessel leading to the kidney. By clogging this vessel, the tumor is deprived of oxygen and other nutrients. Arterial embolization also may be used before an operation or to relieve pain and bleeding when an operation isn’t possible. Side effects may include temporary nausea, vomiting or pain.
2. Treatment to freeze cancer cells (cryoablation). Recent studies show cryoablation may be useful for treating kidney tumors that can’t be removed through surgery. During cryoablation, one or more special needles (cryoprobes) are inserted through small incisions in your skin and into the tumor. Gas in the needles creates extreme cold that causes the cells around the point of each needle to freeze. Doctors use CT scans to monitor the procedure and to ensure that all of the visible cancer tissue and some of the surrounding healthy tissue is frozen. Another type of gas in the needles creates warmth to thaw the frozen tissue. Then the process is repeated. The cycles of freezing and thawing cause cancer cells to die. You may experience some pain after the procedure. Rare side effects may include bleeding, infection and damage to tissue surrounding the tumor. (more…)

Cancer that develops in the breast tissues is referred to as ‘breast cancer’. It usually takes place in the lobules (the glands that produce milk) and in the ducts (the tubes that transport the milk to the nipples). Breast cancer can happen to men as well as woman, however it’s occurrence in males is very rare.

The signs and symptoms of breast cancer are quite obvious. Moreover, it’s vital for every woman to know tem thoroughly in order to help safeguard your life. You have a whole lot of treatment options if the disease has been suspected in the initial stages. Some of the most common symptoms of breast cancer are; (more…)

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American women. In 2009, approximately 194,280 patients are estimated to be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and 62,280 with carcinoma in situ. An estimated 40,610 will die of this disease. For a woman of average risk, the lifetime incidence of breast cancer is one in eight.

Serum tumor markers for breast cancer used in the clinic include CA 15-3, CEA (carcinoembyonic antigen), and CA 27-29. All have low sensitivity and specificity, and thus not helpful in detecting early breast cancer. CA 15-3 levels are increased in approximately 5-30% of patients with stage 1 disease, 15-50% with stage 2, 60-70% with stage 3, and 65-90% with stage 4. CA 15-3 measurements are also elevated in 15-20% of women with benign breast conditions, 50-60% with liver disease, 20-70% pulmonary malignancies, 15-60% of gastrointestinal/colonic malignancies, and 40-60% of ovarian cancer cases. CEA is more prevalent in colorectal cancer, whereas CA 27-29 is more specific for breast cancer. These three tumor markers have, however, been validated for monitoring treatment in patients with advanced disease, particularly if the cancer cannot be evaluated with conventional imaging. (more…)

You see, we should be very thankful that we are born in this modern generation because of the existence of the Internet. With the Internet, every information (whether about asbestos lung cancer or any other such as cosmetic dental, white light teeth whitening, custom whitening trays or even whitening light) can be found with ease on the Internet, with great articles like this.

Certainly, teeth whitening kits purchased from the local pharmacy are not as effective and result yielding as the bleaching based teeth whitening procedure. A dentist will have advanced tools and equipment for certain kinds of teeth, which yield better and instantaneous results. However, if you are after an economical way to whiten your teeth, teeth whitening products will do the job for you, albeit gradually. (more…)

If you are looking for information about asbestos lung cancer, you will find the below related article very helpful. It provides a refreshing perspective that is much related to asbestos lung cancer and in some manner related to dental whitener, laser dentistry, teeth whitening techniques or teeth whitening shades. It isn’t the same old kind of information that you will find elsewhere on the Internet relating to asbestos lung cancer.

Before giving your teeth the laser treatment, your dentist will apply gel to your teeth. The laser speeds up the teeth whitening process. Depending on the stain and discoloration of your teeth, the gel and laser may be applied on your teeth several times. (more…)

A brain tumour can be either cancerous or non-cancerous depending upon whether the tumour is growing and spreading aggressively. If the tumour is not aggressive then it will be termed ‘benign’ and generally speaking a benign tumour is less serious but treatment may still be required.

If the tumour is growing and producing abnormal cells, which spread and take over the space of healthy cells then it will be termed ‘malignant’ or ‘cancerous’. Cancerous brain tumours can originate either directly from the brain (known as Primary Tumours) or they can develop from a cancerous tumour elsewhere in the body and spread to the brain (known as Secondary Tumours).

Ultrasound is a medical technique that is often used during the course of a pregnancy to provide three dimensional images of the fetus. There are 2D and 3D scanning modes in medical and obstetric ultrasound. 2D scanning is the common obstetric diagnostic mode . 3D ultrasound reconstructs a three dimensional volume image of the fetus with height, width and depth in the image, but no movement.

But 4D ultrasound is pretty much like a movie, almost like taking a peek inside the womb. It allows the expectant mother to get up, close and personal with the baby, watching its every move in real time and even in color. The features of the fetus are visible with the 4D ultrasound technology, and the parents are very pleased when they are able to see the unborn child’s eyes, ears, nose and cheeks. (more…)
