While numerous organizations provide information on cancer, the American Cancer Fund’s <em><strong>vital difference</strong></em> is our ability to provide you with reliable resources and streamline the process to quickly educate and empower you to cope with cancer, however it affects you. ACF is also part of ACES, another great Cancer Information and healthy living resource. ACES/ACF is a proud member of both the Mercer and Middlesex County Chambers of Commerce, the Somerset County Business Partnership as well as the Hillsborough Economic Business Development Council. Documentation for ACES and ACF can be found at <a href=\"http://www2.guidestar.org/ReportNonProfit.aspx?ein=20-3232112&amp;Mode=Gx&amp;lid=100776176&amp;dl=True\">Guidestar</a>, the federal registry for charities. They have awarded ACES/ACF their highest award,the Exchange Seal and Partners in Trust.\n\nThe <strong>American Cancer Fund®</strong> has been operating continuously since the mid 1970\'s. They have worked tirelessly to provide assistance to Cancer patients. The organization was started by transplanted New Yorkers when they moved to Florida and realized that many retirees did not have the funds they needed to pay for serious medical care like Cancer. The founders enlisted family and friends and started chapters (from 1974 – 1976) in Florida, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, California and Arizona. The original goal was to provide some amount of funding and resources to anyone struggling with the big ‘C’. They started their efforts by working with churches and synagogues (of the founders) to find donors so that they could evaluate and really help those in need. The founders reached out to everyone they knew in the garment and plumbing industries as well as lawyers and accountants and asked for donations from every personal connection they made. This model lasted until the 1990\'s when most of the original founders passed on leaving a legacy of service to the next generation.\n\nMost of the patients that received assistance were identified by ‘word of mouth’ (there was no internet in those days and NO twitter), and were assessed by the volunteers from ‘chapters’ that were in cities where the founders had a family or business connection.\n\nAs the original volunteers passed away, the assistance became more centralized. It wasn’t until the late 1990\'s when the next generation decided to restructure and re-evaluate the mission and goals that the current mission was established. American Cancer Fund and American Cancer Educational Services joined forces and refiled as a charity in 2005.\n<h2>American Cancer Educational Services (ACES)™</h2>\nis a grass roots organization of individuals with family and friends touched by Cancer as well as Cancer survivors.

These cells can grow very fast and spread, eventually crowding out normal cells and damaging entire systems of the body.\r\n<h2>What You Need To Know About Oral Cancer – The Basics</h2>\r\nBy Dr. Richard M. Nadler DMD, FAGD (see Profile below)\r\n<h3>A Description Of Oral Cancer or Cancer of the Mouth</h3>\r\nCancer can affect any part of the mouth including the lips, gums, cheeks, tongue and hard or soft palate. The most common symptom of oral cancer is a sore in the mouth that bleeds easily and does not heal. Another common sign of oral cancer is pain or numbness, which does not go away, or a change in the way the teeth fit together. Other signs and symptoms could include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>A lump or thickening in the cheek</li>\r\n	<li>A white or red patch on the gums, tongue, tonsil or lining of the mouth</li>\r\n	<li>A sore throat or a feeling that something is caught in the throat</li>\r\n	<li>Difficulties in chewing, swallowing, speaking or moving the tongue or jaw</li>\r\n	<li>A color change of the oral tissues</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Who is at Risk for Oral Cancer?</h3>\r\nClose to 37,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral or pharyngeal cancer this year. It will cause over 8,000 deaths, killing roughly one person per hour, 24 hours a day. Of those newly diagnosed individuals, only slightly more than half will be alive in five years (around 57%).\r\n\r\n<strong>Gender</strong> - Oral cancers or cancer of the mouth are about twice as common in men than women. This is because men are more likely to use tobacco and alcohol over long periods of time and in large enough quantities to cause these cancers.\r\n\r\n<strong>Age</strong> - The likelihood of developing oral cancer increases with age, especially after age 35. Half of all oral cancers are diagnosed in people older than 62.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tobacco and Alcohol</strong> - About 80% of patients with oral cancers use tobacco. The risk of developing these cancers increases with the amount smoked or chewed and the duration of the habit.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>About 70% of al patients with oral cancers drink alcohol frequently. These cancers are much more common in drinkers than non-drinkers.</li>\r\n	<li>The combination of smoking and drinking heavily raises a person’s risk much more than either by itself.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Sun Exposure</strong> - Many patients with cancers of the lip have outdoor jobs associated with prolonged exposure to sunlight.\r\n\r\n<strong>Diet</strong> - A diet low in fruits and vegetables is associated with an increased risk of developing this cancer.\r\n\r\n<strong>HPV Infection</strong> - According to a recent article in Time (October 5, 2011), the number of head and neck cancers linked to the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV) has increased sharply over the past two decades. This virus may account for more cancers than tobacco or alcohol, a new study finds. Overall, the risk was greatest and rising in men. HPV is best known as the virus that causes cervical cancer in women, but because of better screening, the rate of such cancers has declined. The good news is that patients with HPV-positive oral cancers have better survival rates than those with cancer due to other causes, possibly because their tumors have less genetic damage, which makes them more responsive to treatment.\r\n<h3>Bottom Line – Early Detection<strong> </strong></h3>\r\nOne of the real dangers of this cancer is that, in its early stages, it can go unnoticed. It can be painless, and few physical changes may be obvious. The good news is that your dentist or doctor can, in many cases, see or feel the tissue changes, or the actual cancer of the mouth while it is still very small, or in its earliest stages. It may appear as a white or reed patch, or a small ulcer similar to a canker sore. Because so many benign changes occur in the mouth, it is important to have any sore or discolored area of your mouth, which does not heal in 14 days, looked at by a professional. Other symptoms include: a lump or mass which can be felt inside the mouth or neck, pain or difficulty swallowing, speaking, or chewing, any wart-like masses, hoarseness which lasts for a long time, or any numbness.\r\n\r\nThe only way to know for sure is to do a biopsy of the site. This procedure is not painful or expensive, and takes little time. It is important to have a diagnosis as early as possible, and your medical doctor or dentist may refer you to a specialist to have the biopsy performed.\r\n<h3>Conclusion and Prevention</h3>\r\nMost oral cancers could be prevented if people did not use tobacco or drink heavily. Quitting tobacco and limiting alcohol use sharply reduces any risk of developing oral cancer, even after years of use. Many oral cancers may be found early by a combination of routine screening exams by a doctor or dentist or by self-examination.\r\n<h3>About the Author</h3>\r\nRichard M.

The anus is formed partly from the outer, skin layers of the body and partly from the intestine. Two ring-like muscles, called sphincter muscles, open and close the anal opening to let stool pass out of the body. The anal canal, the part of the anus between the rectum and the anal opening, is about 1½ inches long.\n<h2>Anatomy of the lower digestive system, showing the colon and other organs.</h2>\nThe skin around the outside of the anus is called the perianal area. Tumors in this area are skin tumors, not anal cancer.\n\nBeing infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV) can affect the risk of developing anal cancer.\n\nRisk factors include the following:\n<ul>\n	<li>Being over 50 years old.</li>\n	<li>Being infected with human papillomavirus (HPV).</li>\n	<li>Having many sexual partners.</li>\n	<li>Having receptive anal intercourse (anal sex).</li>\n	<li>Frequent anal redness, swelling, and soreness.</li>\n	<li>Having anal fistulas (abnormal openings).</li>\n	<li>Smoking cigarettes.</li>\n</ul>\nPossible signs of anal cancer include bleeding from the anus or rectum or a lump near the anus.\n\nThese and other symptoms may be caused by anal cancer. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. A doctor should be consulted if any of the following problems occur:\n<ul>\n	<li>Bleeding from the anus or rectum.</li>\n	<li>Pain or pressure in the area around the anus.</li>\n	<li>Itching or discharge from the anus.</li>\n	<li>A lump near the anus.</li>\n	<li>A change in bowel habits.</li>\n</ul>\nTests that examine the rectum and anus are used to detect (find) and diagnose anal cancer.\n\nThe following tests and procedures may be used:\n<ul>\n	<li>Physical exam and history: An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual. A history of the patient’s health habits and past illnesses and treatments will also be taken.</li>\n	<li>Digital rectal examination (DRE): An exam of the anus and rectum. The doctor or nurse inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into the lower part of the rectum to feel for lumps or anything else that seems unusual.</li>\n	<li>Anoscopy: An exam of the anus and lower rectum using a short, lighted tube called an anoscope.</li>\n	<li>Proctoscopy: An exam of the rectum using a short, lighted tube called a proctoscope.</li>\n	<li>Endo-anal or endorectal ultrasound: A procedure in which an ultrasound transducer (probe) is inserted into the anus or rectum and used to bounce high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissues called a sonogram.</li>\n	<li>Biopsy: The removal of cells or tissues so they can be viewed under a microscope by a pathologist to check for signs of cancer. If an abnormal area is seen during the anoscopy, a biopsy may be done at that time.</li>\n</ul>\nCertain factors affect the prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.\n\nThe prognosis (chance of recovery) depends on the following:\n<ul>\n	<li>The size of the tumor.</li>\n	<li>Where the tumor is in the anus.</li>\n	<li>Whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.</li>\n</ul>\nThe treatment options depend on the following:\n<ul>\n	<li>The stage of the cancer.</li>\n	<li>Where the tumor is in the anus.</li>\n	<li>Whether the patient has human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).</li>\n	<li>Whether cancer remains after initial treatment or has recurred.</li>\n</ul>\nInformation on this page has been condensed from the US National Cancer Institute website.

While numerous organizations provide information on cancer, the American Cancer Fund’s <em><strong>vital difference</strong></em> is our ability to provide you with reliable resources and streamline the process to quickly educate and empower you to cope with cancer, however it affects you. ACF is also part of ACES, another great Cancer Information and healthy living resource. ACES/ACF is a proud member of both the Mercer and Middlesex County Chambers of Commerce, the Somerset County Business Partnership as well as the Hillsborough Economic Business Development Council. Documentation for ACES and ACF can be found at <a href=\"http://www2.guidestar.org/ReportNonProfit.aspx?ein=20-3232112&amp;Mode=Gx&amp;lid=100776176&amp;dl=True\">Guidestar</a>, the federal registry for charities. They have awarded ACES/ACF their highest award,the Exchange Seal and Partners in Trust.\r\n\r\nThe <strong>American Cancer Fund®</strong> has been operating continuously since the mid 1970\'s. They have worked tirelessly to provide assistance to Cancer patients. The organization was started by transplanted New Yorkers when they moved to Florida and realized that many retirees did not have the funds they needed to pay for serious medical care like Cancer. The founders enlisted family and friends and started chapters (from 1974 – 1976) in Florida, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, California and Arizona. The original goal was to provide some amount of funding and resources to anyone struggling with the big ‘C’. They started their efforts by working with churches and synagogues (of the founders) to find donors so that they could evaluate and really help those in need. The founders reached out to everyone they knew in the garment and plumbing industries as well as lawyers and accountants and asked for donations from every personal connection they made. This model lasted until the 1990\'s when most of the original founders passed on leaving a legacy of service to the next generation.\r\n\r\nMost of the patients that received assistance were identified by ‘word of mouth’ (there was no internet in those days and NO twitter), and were assessed by the volunteers from ‘chapters’ that were in cities where the founders had a family or business connection.\r\n\r\nAs the original volunteers passed away, the assistance became more centralized. It wasn’t until the late 1990\'s when the next generation decided to restructure and re-evaluate the mission and goals that the current mission was established. American Cancer Fund and American Cancer Educational Services joined forces and refiled as a charity in 2005.\r\n<h2>American Cancer Educational Services (ACES)™</h2>\r\nis a grass roots organization of individuals with family and friends touched by Cancer as well as Cancer survivors. We know that good, simple information is available but hard to find and understand.

It stores <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000046642&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\" target=\"_blank\">urine</a>, the liquid waste made by the <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000046325&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\">kidneys</a>.\r\n\r\nYour bladder is part of the <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000046095&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\">urinary tract</a>. Urine passes from each kidney into the bladder through a long tube called a <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000046638&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\" target=\"_blank\">ureter</a>. Urine leaves the bladder through a shorter tube (the <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000046640&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\">urethra</a>).\r\n\r\nThe wall of the bladder has layers of <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000046683&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\" target=\"_blank\">tissue</a>:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Inner layer</strong>: The inner layer of tissue is also called the lining. As your bladder fills up with urine, the transitional cells on the surface stretch. When you empty your bladder, these cells shrink.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Middle layer</strong>: The middle layer is muscle tissue. When you empty your bladder, the muscle layer in the bladder wall squeezes the urine out of your body.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Outer layer</strong>: The outer layer covers the bladder. It has fat, <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000344349&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\">fibrous</a> tissue, and blood vessels.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBladder location in men\r\n\r\n<img alt=\"This picture shows the bladder and nearby organs in a man\" src=\"http://www.cancer.gov/PublishedContent/Images/images/documents/cddc0d3e-4fdc-4332-8f6b-1d6136ffdd5f/clip_image004.jpg\" width=\"321\" height=\"271\" />\r\n\r\nBladder location in women\r\n\r\n<img alt=\"This picture shows the bladder and nearby organs in a woman.\" src=\"http://www.cancer.gov/PublishedContent/Images/images/documents/cddc0d3e-4fdc-4332-8f6b-1d6136ffdd5f/clip_image006.jpg\" width=\"324\" height=\"271\" />\r\n\r\nPhotos from Cancer.Gov\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<a name=\"5\"></a>\r\n<h2>Symptoms</h2>\r\nBladder cancer may cause these common symptoms:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Finding blood in your urine (which may make the urine look rusty or darker red)</li>\r\n	<li>Feeling an urgent need to empty your bladder</li>\r\n	<li>Having to empty your bladder more often than you used to</li>\r\n	<li>Feeling the need to empty your bladder without results</li>\r\n	<li>Needing to strain (bear down) when you empty your bladder</li>\r\n	<li>Feeling pain when you empty your bladder</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese symptoms may be caused by bladder cancer or by other health problems, such as an infection. People with these symptoms should tell their doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<h2>Treatment</h2>\r\nTreatment options for people with bladder cancer are <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000045570&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\">surgery</a>, <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000045214&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\">chemotherapy</a>, <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000045617&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\">biological therapy</a>, and <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000044971&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\">radiation therapy</a>. You may receive more than one type of treatment.\r\n\r\nThe treatment that’s right for you depends mainly on the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The location of the tumor in the bladder</li>\r\n	<li>Whether the tumor has invaded the muscle layer or tissues outside the bladder</li>\r\n	<li>Whether the tumor has spread to other parts of the body</li>\r\n	<li>The grade of the tumor</li>\r\n	<li>Your age and general health</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nYou may have a team of specialists to help plan your treatment. Your doctor may refer you to a specialist, or you may ask for a referral. You may want to see a <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000046643&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\">urologist</a>, a <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/Common/PopUps/popDefinition.aspx?id=CDR0000044306&amp;version=Patient&amp;language=English\">surgeon</a> who specializes in treating problems in the urinary tract.

Some individuals can handle medical terms and concepts, while others must be provided the information in very basic language.\r\n\r\nRegardless of how an individual receives and processes the information provided, the critical aspect is that the information be easily accessible, be offered repeatedly, and at the level at which the patient can grasp it. Cancer, much like any other serious medical condition, does not afford the patient the luxury of misinformation. We seek to eliminate misinformation by doing the research for the patient; seeks to decrease the precious time wasted in research and data collection by providing a clear understandable source of information; seeks to offer comfort and support by ensuring that the information provided is useful and offered in a caring respectful manner.','Our Mission','','inherit','open','open','','370-revision-v1','','','2014-11-01 17:04:41','2014-11-01 21:04:41','',370,'https://americancancerfund.org/blog/2014/11/01/370-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1515,4,'2014-11-01 17:05:04','2014-11-01 21:05:04','[image url=\"/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/about.jpg\" title=\"About us\" raw=\"true\" alignment=\"center\" margin_left=\"0\" margin_right=\"0\" margin_top=\"0\" margin_bottom=\"20\" shadow=\"7\" width=\"640\" height=\"229\"]\r\n<h2>Newly Diagnosed?

For that reason, it is treated as prostate cancer, not bone cancer. Doctors sometimes call the new tumor \"distant\" or metastatic disease.\r\n<h3>What does it mean to be diagnosed with cancer?</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>- It does not mean that a person has been handed a death sentence</li>\r\n	<li>- It does mean that the person has a serious illness that needs immediate attention</li>\r\n	<li>- It also means that the patient must act quickly yet carefully to promote a more positive outcome</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>What are the stages of Cancer?</h2>\r\nA cancer stage is an expression of how advanced the disease is in the body. Specifically, it refers to the size of the malignant tumor found.\r\n\r\nStages range from 0 through 4. Stage 0: is non-invasive, early detection and a small tumor; to Stage 4: Very advanced and a larger tumor.\r\n\r\nCancer like any other disease is more dangerous as it progresses. Early detection is, therefore, critical. As the stages advance, the possibility of a positive outcome or prognosis decreases.\r\n<h2>Managing your treatment</h2>\r\nVital to helping you understand your condition and manage your care is keeping track of important phone numbers, treatment history, side effects, and laboratory results, such as your complete blood count (CBC).

Doctors sometimes call the new tumor \"distant\" or metastatic disease.\n<h3>What does it mean to be diagnosed with cancer?</h3>\n<ul>\n	<li>- It does not mean that a person has been handed a death sentence</li>\n	<li>- It does mean that the person has a serious illness that needs immediate attention</li>\n	<li>- It also means that the patient must act quickly yet carefully to promote a more positive outcome</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>What are the stages of Cancer?</h2>\nA cancer stage is an expression of how advanced the disease is in the body. Specifically, it refers to the size of the malignant tumor found.\n\nStages range from 0 through 4. Stage 0: is non-invasive, early detection and a small tumor; to Stage 4: Very advanced and a larger tumor.\n\nCancer like any other disease is more dangerous as it progresses. Early detection is, therefore, critical. As the stages advance, the possibility of a positive outcome or prognosis decreases.\n<h2>Managing your treatment</h2>\nVital to helping you understand your condition and manage your care is keeping track of important phone numbers, treatment history, side effects, and laboratory results, such as your complete blood count (CBC). Use these tools to help organize this information so you can be an active participant in your cancer care. Keep them handy for use at home and bring them along to your doctor visits and other medical appointments.\n<ol>\n	<li>Important Contacts</li>\n	<li>Health and treatment history</li>\n	<li>Copies of reports - Blood tests, Pathology reports, etc</li>\n	<li>Calendar</li>\n	<li>Progress</li>\n	<li>Questions</li>\n	<li>Insurance</li>\n</ol>\n<strong>Acting quickly is critical, but you should always take the time to get a second opinion.</strong>\n\n<strong>*</strong>Understanding Cancer section condensed from the National Cancer Institute Website <a href=\"http://www.Cancer.gov\">www.Cancer.gov</a>\n<div><img alt=\"alt\" src=\"http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/1063970384/?value=2.0&amp;label=sSSSCOKxmgEQ0Myr-wM&amp;guid=ON&amp;script=0\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" /></div>\n&nbsp;','Cancer 101','','inherit','open','open','','15-autosave-v1','','','2014-11-02 09:11:05','2014-11-02 14:11:05','',15,'https://americancancerfund.org/blog/2014/11/02/15-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1529,2,'2014-11-02 09:37:06','2014-11-02 14:37:06','[image url=\"/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/cancer101.jpg\" title=\"Cancer 101\" raw=\"true\" alignment=\"center\" margin_left=\"0\" margin_right=\"0\" margin_top=\"0\" margin_bottom=\"20\" shadow=\"7\" width=\"640\" height=\"229\"]\r\n\r\nChoosing the right or best Cancer treatment center or Cancer hospital can affect your overall outcome.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2009/10/16/what-you-don-t-know-might-kill-you.html\" target=\"_blank\">Here is a link</a> to an article from Newsweek that suggests “Why a top Cancer Hospital or Cancer Center could save your life”.\r\n<h2>Leading Cancer Hospitals</h2>\r\nIn the USA there is the <a href=\"http://www.nccn.org/patients/about/what.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">National Comprehensive Cancer Network</a> (NCCN).

Bone cancer can begin in any bone in the body, but it most commonly affects the long bones that make up the arms and legs.\r\n\r\nSeveral types of bone cancer exist. Some types of bone cancer occur primarily in children, while others affect mostly adults.\r\n\r\nThe term “bone cancer” doesn’t include cancers that begin elsewhere in the body and spread (metastasize) to the bone. Instead, those cancers are named for where they began, such as breast cancer that has metastasized to the bone. Bone cancer also doesn’t include blood cell cancers, such as multiple myeloma and leukemia, that begin in the bone marrow — the jelly-like material inside the bone where blood cells are made.\r\n<h2>Common types of primary bone cancer include the following</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Osteosarcoma</strong>, which arises from osteoid tissue in the bone. This tumor occurs most often in the knee and upper arm.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Chondrosarcoma</strong>, which begins in cartilaginous tissue. Cartilage pads the ends of bones and lines the joints. Chondrosarcoma occurs most often in the pelvis (located between the hip bones), upper leg, and shoulder. Sometimes a chondrosarcoma contains cancerous bone cells. In that case, doctors classify the tumor as an osteosarcoma.</li>\r\n	<li>The <strong>Ewing Sarcoma</strong> Family of Tumors (ESFTs), which usually occur in bone but may also arise in soft tissue (muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, blood vessels, or other supporting tissue). Scientists think that ESFTs arise from elements of primitive nerve tissue in the bone or soft tissue. ESFTs occur most commonly along the backbone and pelvis and in the legs and arms.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nOther types of cancer that arise in soft tissue are called soft tissue sarcomas. They are not bone cancers and are not described here.\r\n<h3><a title=\"Bone Cancer Symptoms\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/bone-cancer/bone-cancer-symptoms/\">To understand the signs and symptoms of bone cancer, click here</a></h3>\r\n<h2>Bone Cancer Treatment</h2>\r\nTreatment options for bone cancer are based on the type of cancer you have, the stage of the cancer, your overall health and your preferences. Bone cancer treatment typically involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a combination of treatments.\r\n<h2>What Causes Bone Cancer?</h2>\r\nAlthough bone cancer does not have a clearly defined cause, researchers have identified several factors that increase the likelihood of developing these tumors. Osteosarcoma occurs more frequently in people who have had high-dose external radiation therapy or treatment with certain anticancer drugs; children seem to be particularly susceptible. A small number of bone cancers are due to heredity. For example, children who have had hereditary retinoblastoma (an uncommon cancer of the eye) are at a higher risk of developing osteosarcoma, particularly if they are treated with radiation. Additionally, people who have hereditary defects of bones and people with metal implants, which doctors sometimes use to repair fractures, are more likely to develop osteosarcoma. Ewing sarcoma is not strongly associated with any heredity cancer syndromes, congenital childhood diseases, or previous radiation exposure.\r\n<h2>Reliable Resources:</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/adult/bone/about-primary-bone\" target=\"_blank\">Memorial Sloan Kettering</a>\r\nThe MSK website has pages of detailed information about the disease, diagnosis and treatment.

Rarely, there may be an increased risk of childhood cancer in children who have a genetic condition, such as Down syndrome. Children who have had chemotherapy or radiation treatment for a prior cancer episode may also have an increased risk of cancer. In almost all cases, however, childhood cancers arise from non inherited mutations (or changes) in the genes of growing cells.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/youngpeople\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Young People with Cancer – A Handbook For Parents</strong></a>\r\n\r\nIf you are the parent of a child that has just been diagnosed with Cancer, take a look at this downloadable handbook from the National Cancer Institute.

Normally, the body maintains a system of checks and balances on cell growth so that cells divide to produce new cells only when needed. Disruption of this system of checks and balances on cell growth results in an uncontrolled division and proliferation of cells that eventually forms a mass known as a tumor.\r\n\r\nTumors can be benign or malignant; when we speak of “cancer,” we refer to those tumors that are considered malignant. Benign tumors can usually be removed and do not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors, on the other hand, grow aggressively and invade other tissues of the body, allowing entry of tumor cells into the bloodstream or lymphatic system and then to other sites in the body. This process of spread is termed metastasis; the areas of tumor growth at these distant sites are called metastases. Since lung cancer tends to spread or metastasize very early in its course, it is a very life-threatening cancer and one of the most difficult cancers to treat. While lung cancer can spread to any organ in the body, certain organs — particularly the adrenal glands, liver, brain, and bone — are the most common sites for lung-cancer metastasis.\r\n\r\nThe lung is also a very common site for metastasis from tumors in other parts of the body. Tumor metastases are made up of the same type of cells as the original, or primary, tumor. For example, if prostate cancer spreads via the bloodstream to the lungs, it is metastatic prostate cancer in the lung and is not lung cancer.\r\n<h2>Types of Lung Cancer</h2>\r\nLung cancers, also known as bronchogenic carcinomas (carcinoma is another term for cancer), are broadly classified into two types: small cell lung cancers (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). This classification is based upon the microscopic appearance of the tumor cells themselves. These two types of cancers grow and spread in different ways and may have different treatment options, so a distinction between these two types is important.\r\n\r\nSCLC comprise about 20% of lung cancers and are the most aggressive and rapidly growing of all lung cancers. SCLC are strongly related to cigarette smoking, with only 1% of these tumors occurring in nonsmokers. SCLC metastasize rapidly to many sites within the body and are most often discovered after they have spread extensively. Referring to a specific cell appearance often seen when examining samples of SCLC under the microscope, these cancers are sometimes called oat cell carcinomas.\r\n\r\nNSCLC are the most common lung cancers, accounting for about 80% of all lung cancers. NSCLC can be divided into three main types that are named based upon the type of cells found in the tumor:\r\n\r\nAdenocarcinomas are the most commonly seen type of NSCLC in the U.S. and comprise up to 50% of NSCLC . While adenocarcinomas are associated with smoking like other lung cancers, this type is observed as well in nonsmokers who develop lung cancer. Most adenocarcinomas arise in the outer, or peripheral, areas of the lungs. Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is a subtype of adenocarcinoma that frequently develops at multiple sites in the lungs and spreads along the preexisting alveolar walls.\r\n\r\nSquamous cell carcinomas were formerly more common than adenocarcinomas; at present, they account for about 30% of NSCLC. Also known as epidermoid carcinomas, squamous cell cancers arise most frequently in the central chest area in the bronchi.\r\n\r\nLarge cell carcinomas, sometimes referred to as undifferentiated carcinomas, are the least common type of NSCLC.\r\n\r\nMixtures of different types of NSCLC are also seen.\r\n\r\nOther types of cancers can arise in the lung; these types are much less common than NSCLC and SCLC and together comprise only 5%-10% of lung cancers:\r\n\r\nBronchial carcinoids account for up to 5% of lung cancers. These tumors are generally small (3-4 cm or less) when diagnosed and occur most commonly in people under 40 years of age. Unrelated to cigarette smoking, carcinoid tumors can metastasize, and a small proportion of these tumors secrete hormone-like substances that may cause specific symptoms related to the hormone being produced. Carcinoids generally grow and spread more slowly than bronchogenic cancers, and many are detected early enough to be amenable to surgical resection.\r\n\r\nCancers of supporting lung tissue such as smooth muscle, blood vessels, or cells involved in the immune response can rarely occur in the lung.\r\n\r\nAs discussed mentioned, metastatic cancers from other primary tumors in the body are often found in the lung. Tumors from anywhere in the body may spread to the lungs either through the bloodstream, through the lymphatic system, or directly from nearby organs. Metastatic tumors are most often multiple, scattered throughout the lung, and concentrated in the peripheral rather than central areas of the lung.\r\n<h2>Advanced Lung Cancer Articles*</h2>\r\n<h3>Revision Of Lung Cancer Staging System</h3>\r\n<strong>Synopsis</strong>\r\n\r\nA revised staging system, called IASLC Staging System, for non-small cell lung cancer patients has been developed by the American College of Chest Physicians. The revised staging system provides a detailed common nomenclature and clearly helps to predict how severe the lung cancer is for patients with non-small cell lung cancer through the addition and reclassification of many new patient subgroups. This revised system provides a more scientific approach to lung cancer. The previous system was known as TNM staging system. “The IASLC classification system is designed to name and define prognosis. The new IASLC staging system was accepted by the AJCC and UICC and will appear in the UICC staging manual in November of 2009.\r\n<h3>FDA Approves First Maintenance Drug Therapy For Advanced Lung Cancer</h3>\r\n<strong>Synopsis</strong>\r\n\r\nThe FDA has approved the drug Alimta, which will be used for therapy of metastatic lung cancer. Alimta is a drug produced by Eli Lilly and Company. Alimta disrupts metabolic processes that depend on B-vitamin folate, which provided cell replication and duplication. This drug will be used for non-small cell lung cancer. A case study was conducted in which participants that received the drug Alimta survived 5.2 months more than participants that received a placebo, or inactive substance. Alimta was first approved in 2004 to treat patients with mesothelioma, a cancer that is caused by asbestos exposure. The drug was later approved in 2009 to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer whose disease worsened prior to chemotherapy drugs.\r\n<h3>Compugen Announces Discovery Of Blood Based Biomarker For Diagnosis Of Lung Cancer</h3>\r\n<strong>Synopsis</strong>\r\n\r\nCompugen Limited announced the discovery of CGEN-438. CGEN-438 can be used to serve as both a serum biomarker for the diagnosis of small cell lung cancer and as a component in a biomarker combination for the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer patients. Blood levels of the peptide was measured in about 40 lung cancer patients and studied were conducted to conclude that serum samples of small cell lung cancer patients were higher than those detected in healthy patients. In other words, it can be used as a diagnostic biomarker for small cell lung cancer. CGEN-438 can provide us with information by acting as a biomarker about whether or not a patient has small cell lung cancer.\r\n<h3>New Genetic Techniques To Combat Lung Cancer</h3>\r\n<strong>Synopsis</strong>\r\n\r\nNew results on genetic techniques to treat lung cancer were released at the 1st European Lung Cancer Conference. Israeli researchers from Rosetta Genomics discovered a test to differentiate between different types of lung cancers. In addition, these Israeli researchers also discovered that based on different levels of microRNA molecules in tissue samples, they are able to distinguish each type of lung cancer. In another type of research, a group of Italian researchers test included the gene LCK, which marks immune cell anticancer activity, DUSP-6 which regulates a signaling pathway involved in cancer spread, and ERCC1, which is a significant therapeutic biomarker in non small cell lung cancer. This researcher can help oncologists with a more efficient use of adjuvant drug after lung surgery.\r\n\r\n* These articles identified and condensed by Pratik Patel a high school Summer intern.

Pancreatic cancer typically spreads rapidly and is seldom detected in its early stages, which is a major reason why it’s a leading cause of cancer death. Signs and symptoms may not appear until pancreatic cancer is quite advanced and surgical removal isn’t possible.\r\n<h2>Understanding<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> your </span>pancreas</h2>\r\n<span><span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\">Your </span>pancreas is about 6 inches (15 centimeters) long and looks something like a pear lying on its side. The pancreas is a crucial part of<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> your </span>digestive system. It secretes hormones, including insulin, to help<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> your </span>body process sugar. And it produces digestive juices to help<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> your </span>body digest food.</span>\r\n<h2>How pancreatic cancer forms</h2>\r\n<span>Pancreatic cancer occurs when cells in<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> your </span>pancreas develop genetic mutations. These mutations cause the cells to grow uncontrollably and to continue living after normal cells would die. These accumulating cells can form a tumor.</span>\r\n<h2>Types of pancreatic cancer</h2>\r\nThe types of cells involved in a pancreatic cancer help determine the best treatment. Types of pancreatic cancer include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Cancer that forms in the pancreas ducts (adenocarcinoma).</strong> Cells that line the ducts of the pancreas help produce digestive juices. The majority of pancreatic cancers are adenocarcinomas. Sometimes these cancers are called exocrine tumors.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Cancer that forms in the hormone-producing cells.</strong> Cancer that forms in the hormone-producing cells of the pancreas is called endocrine cancer. Endocrine cancers of the pancreas are very rare.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer</h2>\r\nSigns and symptoms of pancreatic cancer often don’t occur until the disease is advanced.

Prostate cancer usually occurs in older men.\r\n\r\nProstate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. Prostate cancer usually grows slowly and initially remains confined to the prostate gland, where it may not cause serious harm. While some types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may need minimal or no treatment, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly.\r\n\r\nProstate cancer that is detected early — when it’s still confined to the prostate gland — has a better chance of successful treatment.\r\n\r\nProstate cancer is a disease where some prostate cells have lost normal  control of growth and division. They no longer function as healthy  cells.\r\n\r\nA cancerous prostate cell has the following features:\r\n•    Uncontrolled growth\r\n•    Abnormal structure\r\n•    The ability to move to other parts of the body (invasiveness).\r\n\r\nIt is important to note that not all clusters of cells growing in a mass  are cancerous, and that a prostate with an irregular shape is not  necessarily cancerous either. It is advisable to ask your doctor what it  may be.\r\n<h4>Signs and symptoms of prostate cancer:</h4>\r\nCommon signs and symptoms of prostate cancer may include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Difficulty urinating<!--?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" /--></li>\r\n	<li>Urgent need to urinate</li>\r\n	<li>Frequent urination, especially at night</li>\r\n	<li>Burning or pain when urinating</li>\r\n	<li>Inability to urinate or difficulty starting or stopping urine flow</li>\r\n	<li>Painful ejaculation</li>\r\n	<li>Blood in the urine or semen</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSymptoms are not always present especially in the early stages of prostate cancer.  If detected and treated in its earliest stages (when cells are only in the prostate), your chances of survival are greatly increased.\r\n<h4>Risk Factors for prostate cancer:</h4>\r\nThere is no single cause of prostate cancer. However, some factors make developing prostate cancer more likely.\r\n\r\n<strong>Age</strong><span style=\"font-size: small\">: The chance of getting prostate cancer rises quickly after a man reaches age 50. Age is the most important risk factor for prostate cancer. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Race</strong><span style=\"font-size: small\">: Prostate cancer is more common in men of African or Caribbean descent and less common in men of Asian descent. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Family history</strong><span style=\"font-size: small\">: Genetics plays a role - the risk of prostate cancer increases if close family members have had the disease.\r\n</span><strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Diet</strong><span style=\"font-size: small\">: Men who eat a low-fiber, high-fat diet have a higher rate of prostate cancer. Research suggests that saturated fat (commonly found in processed foods, whole-milk dairy products and fatty cuts of meat) increases the production of the hormone testosterone, which may help prostate cancer cells grow. </span><strong></strong>\r\n\r\nLifestyle<span style=\"font-size: small\">: Having a high Body Mass Index (BMI) may increase the risk of prostate cancer. Being physically active is a good preventative tactic, along with losing weight and eating the right foods. Consuming lycopene (found in tomatoes and tomato products), soy, green tea and cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli), among other foods and nutrients, may help to prevent prostate cancer.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: small\">It is possible to develop prostate cancer even when none of these risk factors is present.</span>\r\n\r\nThe section on prostate cancer treatment can be <a title=\"Prostate Cancer Treatment\" href=\"/prostate-cancer-treatment/\">found here.</a>\r\n<h4>Recommended reading:</h4>\r\nThe National Cancer Institute has a very good online booklet about prostate cancer that is easy to read and understand.  <a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/wyntk/prostate\">Click here</a> to open the link and read the booklet.','Prostate Cancer','','inherit','open','open','','257-revision-v1','','','2014-11-11 20:31:33','2014-11-12 01:31:33','',257,'https://americancancerfund.org/blog/2014/11/11/257-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1576,4,'2014-11-11 20:31:59','2014-11-12 01:31:59','[image url=\"/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/cancertypes.jpg\" title=\"Cancer Types\" raw=\"true\" alignment=\"center\" margin_left=\"0\" margin_right=\"0\" margin_top=\"0\" margin_bottom=\"20\" shadow=\"7\" width=\"640\" height=\"229\"]\r\n<h2>Newly Diagnosed with Throat Cancer?

Your voice box sits just below your throat and is also susceptible to throat cancer. The voice box is made of cartilage and contains the vocal cords that vibrate to make sound when you talk. Throat cancer can also affect the piece of cartilage (epiglottis) that acts as a lid for your windpipe. Tonsil cancer, another form of throat cancer, affects the tonsils, which are located on the back of the throat.\r\n\r\nYou can reduce your risk of throat cancer by not smoking, not chewing tobacco and limiting alcohol use.\r\n<h2>Throat Cancer Symptoms</h2>\r\nSigns and symptoms of throat cancer may include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>A cough</li>\r\n	<li>Changes in your voice, such as hoarseness</li>\r\n	<li>Difficulty swallowing</li>\r\n	<li>Ear pain</li>\r\n	<li>A lump or sore that doesn’t heal</li>\r\n	<li>A sore throat</li>\r\n	<li>Weight loss</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWhen to see a doctor: Make an appointment with your doctor if you notice any new signs and symptoms that are persistent. Most throat cancer symptoms aren’t specific to cancer, so your doctor will likely investigate other more common causes first.

Squamous cell carcinomas arise in the flat, scale<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\">-</span>like cells that line the esophagus and usually occur in the upper and middle part of the esophagus. Adenocarcinomas usually develop in glandular tissue in the lower part of the esophagus. Treatment is similar for both types.</li>\r\n	<li>By far, tobacco and alcohol use are the strongest risk factors for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, accounting for more than 90 percent of such cases. The causes of esophageal adenocarcinoma are more diverse, but are led by overweight and <a id=\"_GPLITA_3\" title=\"Powered by Text-Enhance\" href=\"#\">gastroesophageal reflux</a>, a problem in which stomach contents frequently back up into the esophagus.</li>\r\n	<li>People with a pre<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\">cancer</span>ous condition called Barrett’s esophagus face a far greater than average risk of developing esophageal<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> cancer</span>, although not all people with Barrett’s go on to develop<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> cancer</span>. Barrett’s esophagus occurs when tissues at the bottom of the esophagus become irritated as a result of reflux. Over time, cells in the irritated part of the esophagus may change and begin to resemble the cells that line the stomach.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>Esophageal<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> Cancer</span>: Some Key Research From Hutchinson<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> Cancer </span>Research Center</h2>\r\nThrough the <a href=\"http://www.seattle.barrettsresearch.org/\">Seattle Barrett’s Esophagus Research Program</a>, which is based at the Hutchinson Center, our researchers collaborate with colleagues at the University of Washington and other institutions on studies aimed at improving the lives of people living with the condition. The program includes an experienced clinical team that cares for patients with Barrett’s esophagus; a laboratory team that investigates the genetic and cell<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\">-</span>cycle abnormalities that lead to<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> cancer </span>in Barrett’s esophagus; and epidemiologists who explore genetic and environmental risk factors that may cause Barrett’s esophagus and<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> cancer</span>.\r\n\r\nOur investigators are also active members of the Barrett’s and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Consortium (BEACON), an international group of investigators who pool data and resources to investigate possible causes of the conditions and ways to prevent it.\r\n\r\nAmong its accomplishments, the Hutchinson Center team of investigators has shown that a systematic, multidisciplinary approach to early<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> cancer </span>detection can boost the five<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\">-</span>year survival rate for esophageal<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> cancer </span>from about 10 percent to more than 80 percent.\r\n\r\nOther promising research findings from the Seattle team, all of which require additional research, suggest that reducing obesity and quitting smoking also may prevent progression of Barrett’s.\r\n\r\nTo read more about the <a href=\"http://www.seattle.barrettsresearch.org/\">Seattle Barrett’s Esophagus Research Program</a>. »\r\n<h2>Determining esophageal<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\">-</span><span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\">cancer </span>risk</h2>\r\n<ul type=\"disc\">\r\n	<li>In the first and longest observational study of its kind, Dr. Thomas Vaughan and colleagues found that aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\">-</span>inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, may significantly reduce the risk of esophageal<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> cancer </span>among people with Barrett’s esophagus.

Minimizing exposure to passive smoking is also an effective preventive measure. Using a home radon test kit can identify and allow correction of increased radon levels in the home, which can also cause lung cancers.

There are many lists of superfoods, and many strong opinions about which is best, but you will always find the following mentioned!\r\n<h1>10 Best Anti-Aging Superfoods</h1>\r\n<h3>Blueberries</h3>\r\nThese are the most super of the superfoods. They are little exploding bombs of nutrients, packed with bioflavanoids, a type of antioxidant that is said to strengthen artery walls and maintain the structure of the skin. They contain anti-cancer and anti-aging properties, and can help to lower cholesterol. Sprinkle them on porridge or cereal for a power breakfast.\r\n<h3>Broccoli</h3>\r\nA powerhouse source of iron, broccoli is the king of vegetables. Absolutely packed with bioflavanoids, it is top of the list of anti-cancer vegetables, and has been shown to protect against breast and prostate cancer. Use it steamed or in stir- fries.\r\n<h3>Tomatoes</h3>\r\nA source of lycopene, which can help to fight prostate cancer in particular, as it mops up the free radicals that cause damage to body tissue. The body absorbs lycopene more efficiently if the tomatoes are cooked, so use freely in soups and sauces. Tinned tomatoes are an excellent source of lycopene, as they have already been cooked.\r\n<h3>Oily Fish</h3>\r\nOily fish, such as salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines are top sources of Omega-3 fatty acids. These are absolutely the “in” nutrients of the moment, said to help lower the risk of blood clots, and the build up of fatty deposits on arteries. However, it is the suggestion that Omega-3 improves brainpower that has been causing a stir, and experiments have shown a marked improvement in the concentration of school children who have been given Omega-3 supplements. Parents are now being advised to make sure their children have adequate Omega-3 in their diets.\r\n<h3>Garlic</h3>\r\nFor centuries garlic has been renowned for it’s healing properties. It is also a powerful antioxidant, and is considered one of the best natural remedies for colds and ‘flu. Garlic has also been shown to help reduce high cholesterol levels For best results, eat garlic raw, if you dare! Failing that, use freely in cooking..\r\n<h3>Brazil Nuts</h3>\r\nBrazil nuts are considered high in fat, but this is unsaturated fat, considered to be the “good” fat. They are an excellent source of the antioxidant selenium, which neutralizes free radicals in the body. Just two or three brazil nuts a day will provide you with adequate levels of selenium.\r\n<h3>Avocado</h3>\r\nAnother superfood considered to be high in fat, but again, we are talking about the beneficial monounsaturated fat. Nutritionally, avocados are almost a complete meal in themselves, containing high levels of many vitamins, especially vitamins E and C.\r\n<h3>Olive Oil</h3>\r\nFavorite anti-aging ingredient of the Mediterranean diet which has proved to be so beneficial in improving blood vessel function, and maintaining a healthy heart. It is rich in monounsaturated fats which help lower cholesterol levels. Recently it has been found that extra virgin olive oil contains an anti-inflammatory compound, which may help people with arthritis. Use freely as a salad dressing and in cooking.\r\n<h3>Honey</h3>\r\nHoney, like garlic, has been a superfood before the term had even been invented! Has powerful antibacterial and healing properties. Manuka honey, a specialist honey from bees that feed on the flowers of the manuka tree has been found to be effective as a topical dressing in the treatment of wounds and infections. It has been used to cure difficult wounds like leg ulcers when conventional treatment has failed.\r\n<h3>Bananas</h3>\r\nA meal in a skin!

You’ve heard it said – “Love yourself, first.” That’s true enough but it’s not the answer to our question. No, the answer is – “Like you, first.” That’s right – Like You! Be your best friend. And allow yourself the luxury of feeling JOY!\r\n\r\nYour real life best friend likes who you are right now with all your imperfections, quirks, and circumstances. For true happiness, you must become your best friend before you can begin to love yourself. Loving yourself means not doing things that will hurt you in some way. You’ll never get me bungee jumping or skydiving because I love this body I live in! You may also have heard it said – “loving means accepting.” Change this to – “liking means accepting.” To like yourself, and others, means to realize that we are not perfect beings. You will never be perfect no matter how long you walk this earth. No one living today are perfect. No, not anyone!\r\n\r\nLiking yourself means developing an attitude of genuine contentment. When you accept your current job, accept the way you look, accept your family, accept your friends, your home, your car, and all the material things you now have – truly, you know what genuine contentment is. You have begun to love yourself and be genuinely happy.\r\n\r\nAn unhappy person never accepts the good in their circumstances because they are always comparing themselves to someone who seems to have what they think they are lacking. This is an exercise in “stinkin’ thinkin’.” They see themselves as unlucky and as a failure in life. They don’t like themselves. You will never like yourself if you compare yourself to other people. If you keep questioning life like it has never done you any good or that you are a failure, you will never be able to find genuine happiness. So . . .\r\n\r\n1) Snap out of it!\r\n\r\n2) Stop the comparisons! Stop seeing others as better off than you are or more intelligent than you are! You really have no idea of the details of their lives so your comparison is flawed from the start. You simply do not have enough information to make a comparison.\r\n\r\n3) Stop the expectations! Stop placing unreasonable expectations on yourself and others based upon false information. Are you a glutton for self-punishment?\r\n\r\n4) Get over yourself! You’ll never be perfect, remember?\r\n\r\nLife can be the greatest game. Go at it with gusto. It’s about finding out about right and wrong, trying and failing, wining and losing. These are things that happen as often as you inhale and exhale. These are as necessary as air is to living. These are your teachers. Embrace them with enthusiasm. Is anyone genuinely happy in spite of life’s trials and tribulations or are they just acting like they are? Here again we are making comparisons.\r\n\r\nDoes it matter to you if anyone else is truly happy? No, it doesn’t, at this point. You see, you need to get yourself in line with life before you can worry about anyone else. You need to focus on YOU!\r\n\r\nYou need to focus on improving how you feel about the quality of you own life and your inner being. It starts and ends within YOU!\r\n\r\nHere is a revealing exercise.\r\n\r\nStart each day with a blank sheet of paper divided into two columns. Label one column – “Positive Stuff,” label the other column – “Negative Stuff.” At the end of each day write down as many positives and negatives that you experienced that day. Write down only those that really stick out. Now, study your lists.\r\n\r\nThis exercise will reveal just where your attitude needs to change toward all the things in life that you confront each day. As you examine your list, ask yourself two questions:\r\n\r\n1) “Why do I feel that’s positive?”\r\n\r\n2) “Why do I feel that’s negative?”\r\n\r\nNow, examine your inner definitions of what’s positive and what’s negative. You decided what’s positive and what’s negative by using your expectations of how you believe you should have handled what the world threw at you that day, right? The key to finding contentment and genuine happiness is to change your definitions, the way you evaluate how you handle life. But, how do you change your definitions and begin to become genuinely happy?\r\n\r\nEveryone has a personal definition of “happiness.” Happiness for a writer may mean having a first novel published. Happiness for a basketball rookie may mean getting the rookie of the year award. Happiness for a beggar may mean five dollars handed to him by a generous passerby. Happiness for a businessman may mean a 5% profit margin. But all those are temporary. All those exist in a moment in time.\r\n\r\nWould the writer be content with having only a single article published? Would the rookie be content to just enjoy playing the game? Would the beggar be content with just one dollars? Would the businessman be content with a 2% profit margin? Contentment is knowing that current circumstances change minute-by-minute, day-to-day, realizing that “every day above ground is a good day!”\r\n\r\nSimple.\r\n\r\nSo, how do you become genuinely happy? Realize that your happiness does not depend upon having the best things in this world. It’s about doing and making the best out of every single thing you have. Smiling at your own mistakes and telling yourself – “Oh, I’ll do better next time” – is a powerful mental tool that you can use anytime the situation calls for it. You possess a willingness to stand up again and try, a willingness that will make you a genuinely happy person.\r\n\r\nWhen you learn to like yourself by accepting your faults, you have begun the journey toward becoming genuinely happy. By accepting yourself first, you will be more accepting of others. You will see life as a great and fun game in which to play. You will accept your wins and your losses with equally positive enthusiasm because it really makes no difference to your inner self.\r\n\r\nLet us leave you with one more thought – Most of us know that laughter is the best medicine to life’s aches and pain. But most of us don’t know that the best kind of laughter is laughing at your own mistakes and foibles. Laughing at yourself will truly set you free to live life with genuine happiness.\r\n<div></div>','Happiness','','inherit','open','open','','70-revision-v1','','','2014-11-15 22:29:38','2014-11-16 03:29:38','',70,'https://americancancerfund.org/blog/2014/11/15/70-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1582,4,'2014-11-15 22:30:05','2014-11-16 03:30:05','[image url=\"/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/healthyliving.jpg\" title=\"Healthy Living\" raw=\"true\" alignment=\"center\" margin_left=\"0\" margin_right=\"0\" margin_top=\"0\" margin_bottom=\"20\" shadow=\"7\" width=\"640\" height=\"229\"]\r\n\r\n<strong>For real Safe Tanning options - Try our NEW Cancer resistant Sunscreen </strong>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> Protection You Can Count On!</span></strong></p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div>**********</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>ACF is now selling its own exclusively blended SPF 30 Sunscreen.

There are 3 different types of UV radiation; UVA, B and C. UVC is the strongest wavelength but is also the shortest and usually gets absorbed by the ozone layer before it reaches the earth. UVB is responsible for most burns. UVA (UVAI and UVAII) is the least intense, but the most deeply penetrating. UVA and UVB can causepremature skin aging, eye damage (i.e. cataracts) and skin cancer.\r\n<div>95% of all UV rays are UVA, though less intense than UVB rays they are 30-50 times more common. UVB rays intensity varies by season, location and time of day. They are strongest between 10 am and 4 pm from April through October in the US. But they can burn you all year round especially around snow and ice since 80% of rays are bounced back at you and you are hit twice by them. UVA rays are relatively constant all day, every day and can penetrate through clouds and glass. Yes, there are UV rays on rainy, cloudy days even though you can’t see them. Wear your sunscreen!!</div>\r\n<div>Even though UV radiation gives us an awesome tan, UV radiation damages the skin’s cellular DNA and can produce genetic mutations leading to skin cancer. Our tan is the body trying to protect itself from more DNA damage, whether from direct sunlight or tanning beds. As Dr. Dima says ‘The tanning bed bulbs emit UVA radiation which is less likely to burn you than UVB radiation. An easy way to remember this is UVA: ‘<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">U</span> will get<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">V</span>ERY <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">A</span>GED skin’ and UVB: ‘<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">U</span> will get <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">V</span>ERY <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">B</span>URNED.’ Bottom line though is that they both cause wrinkles and skin cancer.’ You can protect yourself from the damaging UV rays in many ways:</div>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Daily use of sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher; reapply every 2 hours or immediately after swimming or excessive sweating.</li>\r\n	<li>Cover up with clothing, broad-brimmed hats, UV blocking sunglasses.</li>\r\n	<li>Seek shade, especially between 10 am and 4 pm.</li>\r\n	<li>Avoid tanning and tanning salons.</li>\r\n	<li>Keep newborns out of the sun. Apply sunscreen to all babies over 6 months old.</li>\r\n	<li>See your physician every year for a skin exam.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nDima Ali, M.D. is an internationally recognized Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Medicine expert.

The inevitable morning mishaps will be less stressful.</li>\r\n	<li>Prepare for the morning the evening before. Set the breakfast table, make lunches, put out the clothes you plan to wear, etc.</li>\r\n	<li>Don\'t rely on your memory. Write down appointment times, when to pick up the laundry, when library books are due, etc.</li>\r\n	<li>Do nothing which, after being done, leads you to tell a lie.</li>\r\n	<li>Make duplicates of all keys. Bury a house key in a secret spot in the garden and carry a duplicate car key in your wallet, apart from your key ring.</li>\r\n	<li>Practice preventive maintenance. Your car, appliances, home, and relationships will be less likely to break down/fall apart \"at the worst possible moment.\"</li>\r\n	<li>Be prepared to wait. A paperback can make a wait in a post office line almost pleasant.</li>\r\n	<li>Procrastination is stressful. Whatever you want to do tomorrow, do today; whatever you want to do today, do it now.</li>\r\n	<li>Plan ahead. Don\'t let the gas tank get below one-quarter full; keep a well-stocked \"emergency shelf\" of home staples; don\'t wait until you\'re down to your last bus token or postage stamp to buy more; etc.</li>\r\n	<li>Don\'t put up with something that doesn\'t work right. If your alarm clock, wallet, shoe laces, windshield wipers - whatever- are a constant aggravation, get them fixed or get new ones.</li>\r\n	<li>Allow 15 minutes of extra time to get to appointments. Plan to arrive at an airport one hour before domestic departures.</li>\r\n	<li>Eliminate (or restrict) the amount of caffeine in your diet.</li>\r\n	<li>Always set up contingency plans, \"just in case.\" (\"If for some reason either of us is delayed, here\'s what we\'ll do. . .\" kind of thing. Or, \"If we get split up in the shopping center, here\'s where we\'ll meet.\")</li>\r\n	<li>Relax your standards. The world will not end if the grass doesn\'t get mowed this weekend.</li>\r\n	<li>Pollyanna-Power! For every one thing that goes wrong, there are probably 10 or 50 or 100 blessings. Count \'em!</li>\r\n	<li>Ask questions. Taking a few moments to repeat back directions, what someone expects of you, etc., can save hours. (The old \"the hurrieder I go, the behinder I get,\" idea.)</li>\r\n	<li>Say \"No!\" Saying \"no\" to extra projects, social activities, and invitations you know you don\'t have the time or energy for takes practice, self-respect, and a belief that everyone, everyday, needs quiet time to relax and be alone.</li>\r\n	<li>Unplug your phone. Want to take a long bath, meditate, sleep, or read without interruption? Drum up the courage to temporarily disconnect. (The possibility of there being a terrible emergency in the next hour or so is almost nil.) Or use an answering machine.</li>\r\n	<li>Turn \"needs\" into preferences. Our basic physical needs translate into food, water, and keeping warm. Everything else is a preference. Don\'t get attached to preferences.</li>\r\n	<li>Simplify, simplify, simplify. . .</li>\r\n	<li>Make friends with non-worriers. Nothing can get you into the habit of worrying faster than associating with chronic worrywarts.</li>\r\n	<li>Get up and stretch periodically if your job requires that you sit for extended periods.</li>\r\n	<li>Wear earplugs. If you need to find quiet at home, pop in some earplugs.</li>\r\n	<li>Get enough sleep. If necessary, use an alarm clock to remind you to go to bed.</li>\r\n	<li>Create order out of chaos. Organize your home and workspace so that you always know exactly where things are. Put things away where they belong and you won\'t have to go through the stress of losing things.</li>\r\n	<li>When feeling stressed, most people tend to breathe short, shallow breaths. When you breathe like this, stale air is not expelled, oxidation of the tissues is incomplete, and muscle tension frequently results. Check your breathing throughout the day, and before, during, and after high-pressure situations. If you find your stomach muscles knotted and your breathing is shallow, relax all your muscles and take several deep, slow breaths.</li>\r\n	<li>Writing your thoughts and feelings down (in a journal, or on paper to be thrown away) can help you clarify things and can give you a renewed perspective</li>\r\n	<li>Try the following yoga technique whenever you feel the need to relax. Inhale deeply through your nose to the count of eight. Then, with lips puckered, exhale very slowly through your mouth to the count of 16, or for as long as you can. Concentrate on the long sighing sound and feel the tension dissolve. Repeat 10 times.</li>\r\n	<li>Inoculate yourself against a feared event. Example: before speaking in public, take time to go over every part of the experience in your mind. Imagine what you\'ll wear, what the audience will look like, how you will present your talk, what the questions will be and how you will answer them, etc. Visualize the experience the way you would have it be. You\'ll likely find that when the time comes to make the actual presentation, it will be \"old hat\" and much of your anxiety will have fled.</li>\r\n	<li>When the stress of having to get a job done gets in the way of getting the job done, diversion - a voluntary change in activity and/or environment - may be just what you need.</li>\r\n	<li>Talk it out. Discussing your problems with a trusted friend can help clear your mind of confusion so you can concentrate on problem solving.</li>\r\n	<li>One of the most obvious ways to avoid unnecessary stress is to select an environment (work, home, leisure) which is in line with your personal needs and desires. If you hate desk jobs, don\'t accept a job which requires that you sit at a desk all day. If you hate to talk politics, don\'t associate with people who love to talk politics, etc.</li>\r\n	<li>Learn to live one day at a time.</li>\r\n	<li>Every day, do something you really enjoy.</li>\r\n	<li>Add an ounce of love to everything you do.</li>\r\n	<li>Take a hot bath or shower (or a cool one in summertime) to relieve tension.</li>\r\n	<li>Do something for somebody else.</li>\r\n	<li>Focus on understanding rather than on being understood; on loving rather than on being loved.</li>\r\n	<li>Do something that will improve your appearance. Looking better can help you feel better.</li>\r\n	<li>Schedule a realistic day. Avoid the tendency to schedule back-to-back appointments; allow time between appointments for a breathing spell.</li>\r\n	<li>Become more flexible. Some things are worth not doing perfectly and some issues are fine to compromise upon.</li>\r\n	<li>Eliminate destructive self-talk: \"I\'m too old to. . .,\" \"I\'m too fat to. . .,\" etc.</li>\r\n	<li>Use your weekend time for a change of pace. If your work week is slow and patterned, make sure there is action and time for spontaneity built into your weekends. If your work week is fast-paced and full of people and deadlines, seek peace and solitude during your days off. Feel as if you aren\'t accomplishing anything at work? Tackle a job on the weekend which you can finish to your satisfaction.</li>\r\n	<li>\"Worry about the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.\" That\'s another way of saying: take care of the todays as best you can and the yesterdays and the tomorrows will take care of themselves.</li>\r\n	<li>Do one thing at a time. When you are with someone, be with that person and with no one or nothing else. When you are busy with a project, concentrate on doing that project and forget about everything else you have to do.</li>\r\n	<li>Allow yourself time - everyday - for privacy, quiet, and introspection.</li>\r\n	<li>If an especially unpleasant task faces you, do it early in the day and get it over with, then the rest of your day will be free of anxiety.</li>\r\n	<li>Learn to delegate responsibility to capable others.</li>\r\n	<li>Don\'t forget to take a lunch break. Try to get away from your desk or work area in body and mind, even if it\'s just for 15 or 20 minutes.</li>\r\n	<li>Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing something or saying anything that could make matters worse.</li>\r\n	<li>Have a forgiving view of events and people. Accept the fact that we live in an imperfect world.</li>\r\n	<li>Have an optimistic view of the world. Believe that most people are doing the best they can.\r\n<div></div></li>\r\n</ol>','Stress Reducers','','inherit','open','open','','69-revision-v1','','','2014-11-15 22:30:30','2014-11-16 03:30:30','',69,'https://americancancerfund.org/blog/2014/11/15/69-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1584,4,'2014-11-15 22:31:02','2014-11-16 03:31:02','[image url=\"/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/healthyliving.jpg\" title=\"Healthy Living\" raw=\"true\" alignment=\"center\" margin_left=\"0\" margin_right=\"0\" margin_top=\"0\" margin_bottom=\"20\" shadow=\"7\" width=\"640\" height=\"229\"]\r\n\r\nYou know that regular maintenance is the best and least costly way to care for your car or your home.

Bone cancer can begin in any bone in the body, but it most commonly affects the long bones that make up the arms and legs.\n\nSeveral types of bone cancer exist. Some types of bone cancer occur primarily in children, while others affect mostly adults.\n\nThe term “bone cancer” doesn’t include cancers that begin elsewhere in the body and spread (metastasize) to the bone. Instead, those cancers are named for where they began, such as breast cancer that has metastasized to the bone. Bone cancer also doesn’t include blood cell cancers, such as multiple myeloma and leukemia, that begin in the bone marrow — the jelly-like material inside the bone where blood cells are made.\n<h2>Common types of primary bone cancer include the following</h2>\n<ul>\n	<li><strong>Osteosarcoma</strong>, which arises from osteoid tissue in the bone. This tumor occurs most often in the knee and upper arm.</li>\n	<li><strong>Chondrosarcoma</strong>, which begins in cartilaginous tissue. Cartilage pads the ends of bones and lines the joints. Chondrosarcoma occurs most often in the pelvis (located between the hip bones), upper leg, and shoulder. Sometimes a chondrosarcoma contains cancerous bone cells. In that case, doctors classify the tumor as an osteosarcoma.</li>\n	<li>The <strong>Ewing Sarcoma</strong> Family of Tumors (ESFTs), which usually occur in bone but may also arise in soft tissue (muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, blood vessels, or other supporting tissue). Scientists think that ESFTs arise from elements of primitive nerve tissue in the bone or soft tissue. ESFTs occur most commonly along the backbone and pelvis and in the legs and arms.</li>\n</ul>\nOther types of cancer that arise in soft tissue are called soft tissue sarcomas. They are not bone cancers and are not described here.\n<h2><a title=\"Bone Cancer Symptoms\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/bone-cancer/bone-cancer-symptoms/\" target=\"_blank\">To understand the signs and symptoms of bone cancer, click here</a></h2>\n<h2>Bone Cancer Treatment</h2>\nTreatment options for bone cancer are based on the type of cancer you have, the stage of the cancer, your overall health and your preferences. Bone cancer treatment typically involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a combination of treatments.\n<h2>What Causes Bone Cancer?</h2>\nAlthough bone cancer does not have a clearly defined cause, researchers have identified several factors that increase the likelihood of developing these tumors. Osteosarcoma occurs more frequently in people who have had high-dose external radiation therapy or treatment with certain anticancer drugs; children seem to be particularly susceptible. A small number of bone cancers are due to heredity. For example, children who have had hereditary retinoblastoma (an uncommon cancer of the eye) are at a higher risk of developing osteosarcoma, particularly if they are treated with radiation. Additionally, people who have hereditary defects of bones and people with metal implants, which doctors sometimes use to repair fractures, are more likely to develop osteosarcoma. Ewing sarcoma is not strongly associated with any heredity cancer syndromes, congenital childhood diseases, or previous radiation exposure.\n<h2>Reliable Resources:</h2>\n<a href=\"http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/adult/bone/about-primary-bone\" target=\"_blank\">Memorial Sloan Kettering</a>\nThe MSK website has pages of detailed information about the disease, diagnosis and treatment.

Instead, those cancers are named for where they began, such as breast cancer that has metastasized to the bone. Bone cancer also doesn’t include blood cell cancers, such as multiple myeloma and leukemia, that begin in the bone marrow — the jelly-like material inside the bone where blood cells are made.\r\n<h2>Common types of primary bone cancer include the following</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Osteosarcoma</strong>, which arises from osteoid tissue in the bone. This tumor occurs most often in the knee and upper arm.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Chondrosarcoma</strong>, which begins in cartilaginous tissue. Cartilage pads the ends of bones and lines the joints. Chondrosarcoma occurs most often in the pelvis (located between the hip bones), upper leg, and shoulder. Sometimes a chondrosarcoma contains cancerous bone cells. In that case, doctors classify the tumor as an osteosarcoma.</li>\r\n	<li>The <strong>Ewing Sarcoma</strong> Family of Tumors (ESFTs), which usually occur in bone but may also arise in soft tissue (muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, blood vessels, or other supporting tissue). Scientists think that ESFTs arise from elements of primitive nerve tissue in the bone or soft tissue. ESFTs occur most commonly along the backbone and pelvis and in the legs and arms.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nOther types of cancer that arise in soft tissue are called soft tissue sarcomas. They are not bone cancers and are not described here.\r\n<h2><a title=\"Bone Cancer Symptoms\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/bone-cancer/bone-cancer-symptoms/\" target=\"_blank\">To understand the signs and symptoms of bone cancer, click here</a></h2>\r\n<h2>Bone Cancer Treatment</h2>\r\nTreatment options for bone cancer are based on the type of cancer you have, the stage of the cancer, your overall health and your preferences. Bone cancer treatment typically involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a combination of treatments.\r\n<h2>What Causes Bone Cancer?</h2>\r\nAlthough bone cancer does not have a clearly defined cause, researchers have identified several factors that increase the likelihood of developing these tumors. Osteosarcoma occurs more frequently in people who have had high-dose external radiation therapy or treatment with certain anticancer drugs; children seem to be particularly susceptible. A small number of bone cancers are due to heredity. For example, children who have had hereditary retinoblastoma (an uncommon cancer of the eye) are at a higher risk of developing osteosarcoma, particularly if they are treated with radiation. Additionally, people who have hereditary defects of bones and people with metal implants, which doctors sometimes use to repair fractures, are more likely to develop osteosarcoma. Ewing sarcoma is not strongly associated with any heredity cancer syndromes, congenital childhood diseases, or previous radiation exposure.\r\n<h2>Reliable Resources:</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/adult/bone/about-primary-bone\" target=\"_blank\">Memorial Sloan Kettering</a>\r\nThe MSK website has pages of detailed information about the disease, diagnosis and treatment.

Three of them begin <em>in situ</em><span> — meaning they occupy only the top layers of the skin — and sometimes become invasive; the fourth is invasive from the<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> start</span>. Invasive melanomas are more serious, as they have penetrated deeper into the skin and may have spread to other areas of the body.</span>\n\n<strong>Superficial spreading melanoma</strong> is by far the most common type, accounting for about 70 percent of all cases. This is the one most often seen in young people. As the name suggests, this melanoma travels along the top layer of the skin for a fairly long time before penetrating more deeply.\n\nThe first sign is the appearance of a flat or slightly raised discolored patch that has irregular borders and is somewhat geometrical in form. The color varies, and you may see areas of tan, brown, black, red, blue or white. This type of melanoma can occur in a previously benign mole. The melanoma can be found almost anywhere on the body, but is most likely to occur on the trunk in men, the legs in women, and the upper back in both.\n\n<strong>Lentigo maligna</strong> is similar to the superficial spreading type, as it also remains close to the skin surface for quite a while, and usually appears as a flat or mildly elevated mottled tan, brown or dark brown discoloration. This type of <em>in situ</em> melanoma is found most often in the elderly, arising on chronically sun-exposed, damaged skin on the face, ears, arms and upper trunk. Lentigo maligna is the most common form of melanoma in Hawaii. When this cancer becomes invasive, it is referred to as <strong>lentigo maligna melanoma.</strong>\n\n<strong>Acral lentiginous melanoma</strong> also spreads superficially before penetrating more deeply. It is quite different from the others, though, as it usually appears as a black or brown discoloration under the nails or on the soles of the feet or palms of the hands. It is the most common melanoma in African-Americans and Asians, and the least common among Caucasians.\n\n<strong>Nodular melanoma </strong>is usually invasive at the time it is first diagnosed. The malignancy is recognized when it becomes a bump. It is usually black, but occasionally is blue, gray, white, brown, tan, red or skin tone. The most frequent locations are the trunk, legs, and arms, mainly of elderly people, as well as the scalp in men. This is the most aggressive of the melanomas, and is found in 10 to 15 percent of cases.\n\n<strong>Once again, please look at the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a title=\"Skin Cancer Melanoma Pix\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/skin-cancer/melanoma-pictures/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Skin cancer pictures </span></a></span>and read the <a title=\"ABC’s of Skin Cancer\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/skin-cancer/what-you-should-know/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">ABC’s of skin cancer</span></a> to get the complete understanding.</strong>\n\nConsider buying our exclusively formulated <a title=\"Sunscreen\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/store/sunscreen/\" target=\"_blank\">Sunscreen</a>.

Three of them begin <em>in situ</em><span> — meaning they occupy only the top layers of the skin — and sometimes become invasive; the fourth is invasive from the<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> start</span>. Invasive melanomas are more serious, as they have penetrated deeper into the skin and may have spread to other areas of the body.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Superficial spreading melanoma</strong> is by far the most common type, accounting for about 70 percent of all cases. This is the one most often seen in young people. As the name suggests, this melanoma travels along the top layer of the skin for a fairly long time before penetrating more deeply.\r\n\r\nThe first sign is the appearance of a flat or slightly raised discolored patch that has irregular borders and is somewhat geometrical in form. The color varies, and you may see areas of tan, brown, black, red, blue or white. This type of melanoma can occur in a previously benign mole. The melanoma can be found almost anywhere on the body, but is most likely to occur on the trunk in men, the legs in women, and the upper back in both.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lentigo maligna</strong> is similar to the superficial spreading type, as it also remains close to the skin surface for quite a while, and usually appears as a flat or mildly elevated mottled tan, brown or dark brown discoloration. This type of <em>in situ</em> melanoma is found most often in the elderly, arising on chronically sun-exposed, damaged skin on the face, ears, arms and upper trunk. Lentigo maligna is the most common form of melanoma in Hawaii. When this cancer becomes invasive, it is referred to as <strong>lentigo maligna melanoma.</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Acral lentiginous melanoma</strong> also spreads superficially before penetrating more deeply. It is quite different from the others, though, as it usually appears as a black or brown discoloration under the nails or on the soles of the feet or palms of the hands. It is the most common melanoma in African-Americans and Asians, and the least common among Caucasians.\r\n\r\n<strong>Nodular melanoma </strong>is usually invasive at the time it is first diagnosed. The malignancy is recognized when it becomes a bump. It is usually black, but occasionally is blue, gray, white, brown, tan, red or skin tone. The most frequent locations are the trunk, legs, and arms, mainly of elderly people, as well as the scalp in men. This is the most aggressive of the melanomas, and is found in 10 to 15 percent of cases.\r\n<h3><strong>Once again, please look at the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a title=\"Skin Cancer Melanoma Pix\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/skin-cancer/melanoma-pictures/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Skin cancer pictures </span></a></span>and read the <a title=\"ABC’s of Skin Cancer\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/skin-cancer/what-you-should-know/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">ABC’s of skin cancer</span></a> to get the complete understanding.</strong></h3>\r\nConsider buying our exclusively formulated <a title=\"Sunscreen\" href=\"/sunscreen/\">Sunscreen</a>.

For a very comprehensive overview, try the National Comprehensive Cancer Networks<strong> </strong>patient guide. <a href=\"http://www.nccn.org/patients/guidelines/melanoma/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Here is the link.</strong></a>\r\n<h2>Pictures of Skin Cancer</h2>\r\n<strong><a title=\"Skin Cancer Melanoma Pix\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/skin-cancer/melanoma-pictures/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for our skin cancer pictures.</a></strong>\r\n<h2>The Four Basic Types of Skin Cancer or Melanomas</h2>\r\nMelanomas fall into four basic categories. Three of them begin <em>in situ</em><span> — meaning they occupy only the top layers of the skin — and sometimes become invasive; the fourth is invasive from the<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> start</span>. Invasive melanomas are more serious, as they have penetrated deeper into the skin and may have spread to other areas of the body.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Superficial spreading melanoma</strong> is by far the most common type, accounting for about 70 percent of all cases. This is the one most often seen in young people. As the name suggests, this melanoma travels along the top layer of the skin for a fairly long time before penetrating more deeply.\r\n\r\nThe first sign is the appearance of a flat or slightly raised discolored patch that has irregular borders and is somewhat geometrical in form. The color varies, and you may see areas of tan, brown, black, red, blue or white. This type of melanoma can occur in a previously benign mole. The melanoma can be found almost anywhere on the body, but is most likely to occur on the trunk in men, the legs in women, and the upper back in both.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lentigo maligna</strong> is similar to the superficial spreading type, as it also remains close to the skin surface for quite a while, and usually appears as a flat or mildly elevated mottled tan, brown or dark brown discoloration. This type of <em>in situ</em> melanoma is found most often in the elderly, arising on chronically sun-exposed, damaged skin on the face, ears, arms and upper trunk. Lentigo maligna is the most common form of melanoma in Hawaii. When this cancer becomes invasive, it is referred to as <strong>lentigo maligna melanoma.</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Acral lentiginous melanoma</strong> also spreads superficially before penetrating more deeply. It is quite different from the others, though, as it usually appears as a black or brown discoloration under the nails or on the soles of the feet or palms of the hands. It is the most common melanoma in African-Americans and Asians, and the least common among Caucasians.\r\n\r\n<strong>Nodular melanoma </strong>is usually invasive at the time it is first diagnosed. The malignancy is recognized when it becomes a bump. It is usually black, but occasionally is blue, gray, white, brown, tan, red or skin tone. The most frequent locations are the trunk, legs, and arms, mainly of elderly people, as well as the scalp in men. This is the most aggressive of the melanomas, and is found in 10 to 15 percent of cases.\r\n\r\n<strong>Once again, please look at the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a title=\"Skin Cancer Melanoma Pix\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/skin-cancer/melanoma-pictures/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Skin cancer pictures </span></a></span>and read the <a title=\"ABC’s of Skin Cancer\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/skin-cancer/what-you-should-know/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">ABC’s of skin cancer</span></a> to get the complete understanding.</strong>\r\n\r\nConsider buying our exclusively formulated <a title=\"Sunscreen\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/store/sunscreen/\" target=\"_blank\">Sunscreen</a>.

Clinical trials (also called medical research and research studies) are used to determine whether new drugs or treatments are both safe and effective. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find treatments that work. Ideas for clinical trials usually come from researchers. Once researchers test new therapies or procedures in the laboratory and get promising results, they begin planning Phase 1 Clinical Trials. New therapies are tested on people only after laboratory and animal studies show promising results. More detailed information about clinical trials can be found at <a href=\"http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/info/understand\" target=\"_blank\">ClinicalTrials.Gov</a>\r\n<h2>What is a protocol?</h2>\r\nAll clinical trials are based on a set of rules called a protocol. A protocol describes what types of people may participate in the trial; the schedule of tests, procedures, medications, and dosages; and the length of the study. While in a clinical trial, participants are seen regularly by the research staff to monitor their health and to determine the safety and effectiveness of their treatment.\r\n<h2>What are clinical trial phases?</h2>\r\nClinical trials of experimental drugs proceed through four phases:\r\n\r\n<strong>In Phase I </strong>clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.\r\n\r\n<strong>In Phase II </strong>clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.\r\n\r\n<strong>In Phase </strong><strong>III</strong> studies, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.\r\n\r\n<strong>In Phase IV</strong> studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed. These studies continue testing the study drug or treatment to collect information about their effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.\r\n<h2>Who can participate in a clinical trial?</h2>\r\nAll clinical trials have guidelines about who can get into the program. Guidelines are based on such factors as age, type of disease, medical history, and current medical condition. Before you join a clinical trial, you must qualify for the study. Some research studies seek volunteers with illnesses or conditions to be studied in the clinical trial, while others need healthy volunteers. Healthy volunteers participate in Phase I trials, vaccine studies, and trials on research on preventive care for children or adults. The factors that allow you to participate in a clinical trial are called inclusion criteria and the factors that keep you from participating are called exclusion criteria. It is important to note that inclusion and exclusion criteria are not used to reject people personally. Instead, the criteria are used to identify appropriate participants and keep them safe. The criteria help ensure that researchers will be able to answer the questions they plan to study.\r\n<h2>Who sponsors clinical trials?</h2>\r\nClinical trials are sponsored by government agencies: such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH); pharmaceutical companies; individual physician-investigators; health care institutions such as health maintenance organizations (HMOs); and organizations that develop medical devices or equipment. Trials can take place in a variety of locations, such as hospitals, universities, doctors’ offices, or community clinics.\r\n<h2>What protections are there for people who participate in clinical trials?</h2>\r\nThe government has strict guidelines and safeguards to protect people who choose to participate in clinical trials. Every clinical trial in the U.S. must be approved and monitored by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to make sure the risks are as low as possible and are worth any potential benefits. An IRB is an independent committee of physicians, statisticians, community advocates, and others that ensures that a clinical trial is ethical and the rights of study participants are protected. All institutions that conduct or support biomedical research involving people must, by federal regulation, have an IRB that initially approves and periodically reviews the research.\r\n<h2>What is informed consent?</h2>\r\nInformed consent is the process of learning the key facts about a clinical trial before you decide whether or not to participate. These facts include: Why the research is being done. What the researchers want to accomplish. What will be done during the trial and for how long. What risks are involved in the trial. What benefits can be expected from the trial. What other treatments are available. The fact that you have the right to leave the trial at any time. If you are considering joining a clinical trial, the research staff will give you informed consent documents that include the details about the study. If English is not your native language, you can ask for the consent documents in languages other than English. Since joining a clinical trial is an important decision, you should ask the research team any questions you may have about the study and the consent forms before you make a decision. It is also a good idea to take the consent documents home and discuss them with family members or friends. Talking about your options can help you to feel comfortable with your decision. If you decide to join the clinical trial, be sure to ask for a copy of the informed consent documents so you can review them at any time. Remember informed consent is more than signing a form. It is a process that continues through the study. You should feel free to ask the research team questions before, during, and after the study. Informed consent continues as long as you are in the study.\r\n\r\n<strong>A clinical trial is a research study to answer specific questions about vaccines or new therapies or new ways of using known treatments</strong>.\r\n<h2>What questions should I ask?</h2>\r\nSome questions you might ask about the research include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Why is this research being done?</li>\r\n	<li>What is the purpose of the study?</li>\r\n	<li>Who is sponsoring the study?</li>\r\n	<li>What happens to my treatment if I’m in the placebo group</li>\r\n	<li>Who has reviewed and approved this study?</li>\r\n	<li>Why does the research team think the treatment, drug, or medical device will work?</li>\r\n	<li>If I do not qualify for this clinical trial, are there others?</li>\r\n	<li>Where is the study site?</li>\r\n	<li>What kinds of therapies, procedures, and/or tests will I have during the trial?</li>\r\n	<li>Will they hurt?

For a very comprehensive overview, try the National Comprehensive Cancer Networks<strong> </strong>patient guide. <a href=\"http://www.nccn.org/patients/guidelines/melanoma/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Here is the link.</strong></a>\r\n<h2>Pictures of Skin Cancer</h2>\r\n<strong><a title=\"Skin Cancer Melanoma Pix\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/skin-cancer/melanoma-pictures/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for our skin cancer pictures.</a></strong>\r\n<h2>The Four Basic Types of Skin Cancer or Melanomas</h2>\r\nMelanomas fall into four basic categories. Three of them begin <em>in situ</em><span> — meaning they occupy only the top layers of the skin — and sometimes become invasive; the fourth is invasive from the<span id=\"dtx-highlighting-item\"> start</span>. Invasive melanomas are more serious, as they have penetrated deeper into the skin and may have spread to other areas of the body.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Superficial spreading melanoma</strong> is by far the most common type, accounting for about 70 percent of all cases. This is the one most often seen in young people. As the name suggests, this melanoma travels along the top layer of the skin for a fairly long time before penetrating more deeply.\r\n\r\nThe first sign is the appearance of a flat or slightly raised discolored patch that has irregular borders and is somewhat geometrical in form. The color varies, and you may see areas of tan, brown, black, red, blue or white. This type of melanoma can occur in a previously benign mole. The melanoma can be found almost anywhere on the body, but is most likely to occur on the trunk in men, the legs in women, and the upper back in both.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lentigo maligna</strong> is similar to the superficial spreading type, as it also remains close to the skin surface for quite a while, and usually appears as a flat or mildly elevated mottled tan, brown or dark brown discoloration. This type of <em>in situ</em> melanoma is found most often in the elderly, arising on chronically sun-exposed, damaged skin on the face, ears, arms and upper trunk. Lentigo maligna is the most common form of melanoma in Hawaii. When this cancer becomes invasive, it is referred to as <strong>lentigo maligna melanoma.</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Acral lentiginous melanoma</strong> also spreads superficially before penetrating more deeply. It is quite different from the others, though, as it usually appears as a black or brown discoloration under the nails or on the soles of the feet or palms of the hands. It is the most common melanoma in African-Americans and Asians, and the least common among Caucasians.\r\n\r\n<strong>Nodular melanoma </strong>is usually invasive at the time it is first diagnosed. The malignancy is recognized when it becomes a bump. It is usually black, but occasionally is blue, gray, white, brown, tan, red or skin tone. The most frequent locations are the trunk, legs, and arms, mainly of elderly people, as well as the scalp in men. This is the most aggressive of the melanomas, and is found in 10 to 15 percent of cases.\r\n\r\n<strong>Once again, please look at the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a title=\"Skin Cancer Melanoma Pix\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/skin-cancer/melanoma-pictures/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Skin cancer pictures </span></a></span>and read the <a title=\"ABC’s of Skin Cancer\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/skin-cancer/what-you-should-know/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">ABC’s of skin cancer</span></a> to get the complete understanding.</strong>\r\n\r\nConsider buying our exclusively formulated <a title=\"Sunscreen\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/store/sunscreen/\" target=\"_blank\">Sunscreen</a>.

Bone cancer can begin in any bone in the body, but it most commonly affects the long bones that make up the arms and legs.\r\n\r\nSeveral types of bone cancer exist. Some types of bone cancer occur primarily in children, while others affect mostly adults.\r\n\r\nThe term “bone cancer” doesn’t include cancers that begin elsewhere in the body and spread (metastasize) to the bone. Instead, those cancers are named for where they began, such as breast cancer that has metastasized to the bone. Bone cancer also doesn’t include blood cell cancers, such as multiple myeloma and leukemia, that begin in the bone marrow — the jelly-like material inside the bone where blood cells are made.\r\n<h2>Common types of primary bone cancer include the following</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Osteosarcoma</strong>, which arises from osteoid tissue in the bone. This tumor occurs most often in the knee and upper arm.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Chondrosarcoma</strong>, which begins in cartilaginous tissue. Cartilage pads the ends of bones and lines the joints. Chondrosarcoma occurs most often in the pelvis (located between the hip bones), upper leg, and shoulder. Sometimes a chondrosarcoma contains cancerous bone cells. In that case, doctors classify the tumor as an osteosarcoma.</li>\r\n	<li>The <strong>Ewing Sarcoma</strong> Family of Tumors (ESFTs), which usually occur in bone but may also arise in soft tissue (muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, blood vessels, or other supporting tissue). Scientists think that ESFTs arise from elements of primitive nerve tissue in the bone or soft tissue. ESFTs occur most commonly along the backbone and pelvis and in the legs and arms.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nOther types of cancer that arise in soft tissue are called soft tissue sarcomas. They are not bone cancers and are not described here.\r\n<h2><a title=\"Bone Cancer Symptoms\" href=\"https://americancancerfund.org/cancer-types/bone-cancer/bone-cancer-symptoms/\" target=\"_blank\">To understand the signs and symptoms of bone cancer, click here</a></h2>\r\n<h2>Bone Cancer Treatment</h2>\r\nTreatment options for bone cancer are based on the type of cancer you have, the stage of the cancer, your overall health and your preferences. Bone cancer treatment typically involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a combination of treatments.\r\n<h2>What Causes Bone Cancer?</h2>\r\nAlthough bone cancer does not have a clearly defined cause, researchers have identified several factors that increase the likelihood of developing these tumors. Osteosarcoma occurs more frequently in people who have had high-dose external radiation therapy or treatment with certain anticancer drugs; children seem to be particularly susceptible. A small number of bone cancers are due to heredity. For example, children who have had hereditary retinoblastoma (an uncommon cancer of the eye) are at a higher risk of developing osteosarcoma, particularly if they are treated with radiation. Additionally, people who have hereditary defects of bones and people with metal implants, which doctors sometimes use to repair fractures, are more likely to develop osteosarcoma. Ewing sarcoma is not strongly associated with any heredity cancer syndromes, congenital childhood diseases, or previous radiation exposure.\r\n<h2>Reliable Resources:</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/adult/bone/about-primary-bone\" target=\"_blank\">Memorial Sloan Kettering</a>\r\nThe MSK website has pages of detailed information about the disease, diagnosis and treatment.
