Children and Cancer's Facts and TreatmentsBY: Ritu Choudhary | Category: Childhood Cancer | Submitted: 2010-10-10 18:25:28
In Europe, one in five hundred children cancer suffer from cancer. On average more than 70 percent heal after proper diagnosis and treatment. 30 percent of all cancer patients have leukemia (blood cancer). Twenty percent had a brain tumor. The remaining tumors are often in kidneys, bones and muscles. Cancer among children is increasingly treatable. Eighty percent of patients with lymphoblastic leukemia are cured. Of Wilms tumor (kidney cancer) cure nearly 90 percent are cured. Other tumors are often difficult to treat. Cancer in children has actually nothing to do with cancer in adults. In adults, cancer is often due to outside influences, tissue damage that are built over many years. In children time based cancer cannot happen. This is the reason why children do not have cancer like lung cancer etc. Childhood cancer is not hereditary. In a hereditary form of cancer, including breast cancer, there is a piece of genetic material in order. This error alone is not enough to get cancer, but if there is damage to the outside by a mistake then the cell may become cancerous. The cells multiply in an uncontrolled manner, resulting in tumor of cancerous in nature. As childhood cancer is not hereditary, where does it come from? It is now very cautiously speculated that like leukemia could arise from a viral infection, but nothing is certain. In cancer, the idea is that you can prevent worse by diagnosing it as early as possible. There will be a possibility for metastases. It is more so that it is the virulence of the tumor or its metastases. A very malignant tumor spreads immediately, while another remains in the same place. There are several treatment options for cancer, combinations of therapies are given: • The chemotherapy consists of beverages, infusions or pills. These drugs cause cancer cells to degrade. But there are also healthy cells thereby broken. For one, you can include chemotherapy, or it can be done outpatient. Chemotherapy is suitable for cancer throughout the body is, like leukemia, but chemotherapy can also be used in tumors, which make them pre-operatively to reduce or to eliminate any metastases. Sometimes it is necessary at the end of treatment an additional high dose chemotherapy. These are all healthy blood cells also demolished. Then a bone marrow transplant, so that there is enough healthy blood can be created after the last chemotherapy. • Radiation therapy is comparable to a very high dose X-rays. You can play a tumor on a certain spot to try to destroy. Surgery is also a tumor in one place. Healthy cells remain intact, but there must still be taken to ensure that no cancer cells remain, which can multiply itself again. After the cure of cancer called late effects may remain. Anyone who has undergone radiotherapy in the head may have concentration problems. Concentration problems will be solved in a course of time. Who has had a brain tumor, often has the same symptoms. The future of cancer disease is uncertain. The aim is that 100 percent of the patients of cancer shall be cured. May be this objective will never be achieved, however the situation is much better than before, in the fifties it was almost certain that a person with cancer is means a certain death. Now we have better combinations of drugs and we find more knowledge about chromosomal abnormalities also learn about the causes of cancer. It is important for parents of children who has cancer to know about what cancer is and how it is diagnosed. Keeping a know how about clinical pathology, genetics and diagnostic radiology are important. Treatment methods such as chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, bone marrow transplantation must be known. Supportive treatments such as nutrition, antibiotics, pain management are also essential.
