Besides suffering from the disease itself, we know that cancer patients have it twice as hard. Facing cancer is not just face the fact of having a potentially terminal illness, but also a lot of symptoms that it makes us suffer in our bodies, which may constitute a considerable obstacle to recover from the disease.

The more we can reduce the symptoms of cancer, the more we overcome the disease, and improve our quality of life. But how to get rid of them? Apparently, the massage is the answer to this question.

According to a study presented at the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia Annual Scientific Meeting in Melbourne, which was carried out by Dr David Joske, which evaluated the quality of life of 1,244 cancer patients, who carried out massages to reduce the symptoms of the disease.

Joske noted that a 14% reduction in symptoms was experienced by cancer patients in the study, including some such as fatigue, pain, breathing difficulties, lack of appetite, nausea and insomnia.

Although researchers are not entirely clear whether this was due to a placebo effect, the fact is that actually happened in this way, recognizing that massage may play an important role in order to develop natural cancer treatments .

In fact, after receiving massage therapy patients also experienced a reduction of symptoms using conventional therapies as massage may work both ways.

New technique cancer reconstructed breast affected by Hospital Clinic of Barcelona presented a new technique to reconstruct the breast to women who have had breast cancer, with fat grafts that are implanted body without scarring.

The head of the Plastic Surgery Medical Center, Joan Fontdevila, said at a news conference that the new technique is much simpler than those used so far to repair affected by breast tumor tissue as obtaining large areas body to carry out a reconstruction or the use of prostheses.

He explained that this is a technique similar to liposuction, in which the surgeon takes fat under the skin with the help of a canola (small tubes) special in any area of the body, leaving scars under three millimeters.

After removing the fat, processed in the operating room to clean it, separating the red cells and plasma, and subsequently injected into the affected breast by mastectomy, without the need for a new scar.

The operation takes about two hours and recovery time is much smaller, which improves the condition of the patients, who have to endure surgery to remove the cancer and aggressive treatments of chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

According Fontdevila, with this new method of regeneration could cover 80% of patients with cancer who have had breast conserving surgery, and specify a percentage for other types of more radical surgery.

This technique has the disadvantage that can not be made until after three to nine months after the operation to remove the tumor or after completion of chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions.

Diagnosis is by blood and bone marrow and treatment with intensive chemotherapy and sometimes bone marrow transplantation

Carcinomas originate in the epithelium, tissues that are formed by one or more layers of juxtaposed cells that line the cavities and canals of the body besides the skin, and also form the mucous glands. Mucosa, for example, the lining inside the mouth or nose. Any viscera, any duct or gland is formed, in large part by mucous ..

The epithelia are constantly regenerating: The epithelial cells have a short cell cycle, due to continuous wear to which they are subjected.

Most cancers originate in the epithelium and are called carcinomas. They are the most common malignant tumors such as breast, lung, colon, stomach and prostate. Read the rest of this entry »
