Ovarian Cancer is not as widely publicized as breast cancer, so many people are left searching online and through books for more information on symptoms, survival rates, warning signs, and stages. This article will break down the staging and explain what each different one means.

Stage 1: This of course is the earliest form of cancer. In this stage, cancer is found in one or both ovaries. It is further divided into the following sub-stages.

1A: 1 ovary involved, no...

Another very serious subject and not to be dealt with glibly, so I will not be making bold claims about a cure all.

It seems that cancerous cells are present in all of us but when our immune system fails to kill these cells they multiply rapidly.

Our immune systems needs a good diet to be able to function correctly and it is for this reason why scientists recommend 5 helpings of fresh fruit and veg a day:

• Poor levels of vitamin C have been linked with cancer...

Shakespeare said that “one may smile, and smile, and be a villain.” Hamlet was obviously going through something that few of us ever have or will, but a villainous smile still holds true today. When we imagine what separates the smiles of heroes from the smiles of villains, we get two very different pictures. Those heroes’ pearly whites, straight and even, evoke strength and confidence. The villain is another story. Crooked or missing teeth, certainly not white (brown,...

Breast thermography is a new, non-invasive imaging procedure that utilizes infrared heat-sensing technology to detect metabolic changes in the breast. Abnormalities can be detected long before a tumor is present. Because researchers are acknowledging the importance of prevention and early detection as the keys to long term breast health, breast thermography is fast becoming an important diagnostic test to add to health care regimens.

To perform breast thermography, a special...

These three little words took on a life of their own during the Human Potential Movement of the 70's. Completely oblivious of the Movement, I was in the throes of my illness/healing challenge - six surgeries in 4 years followed by 3 years of chemotherapy. Then, just as I was coming into the "try everything and anything that might get me well" period, I heard about est. I signed up and found myself sitting in the company of two hundred and forty-nine other bewildered...

"I felt the HIFU treatment was excellent. The cost should be covered by health care providers. Cost would be as much or greater with other procedures that are covered, which are more invasive. I have printed up and received about 2 dozen pamphlets and given them to friends at the golf club and bowling alley.

I truly believe that this procedure is the ONLY way to go. My urologist prescribed “Tylenol-3” for pain. I had absolutely NO PAIN, and did not take a...

When the harmful side effects of the sleeping pill thalidomide became known in 1961, and quite a number of children were born with deformities, the medication was taken off the market.

When it became known that dioxins, such as the so-called Seveso poison, for example, and that TCDD is one of the most dangerous environmental poisons of all because of its dangerous effects on health, a worldwide ban on dioxins was passed at the “Stockholm Convention” in 2001.

When...

The need of support depends on many individual criteria from the type of treatment you received to the type of person you are. In the case of radiotherapy there are side effects that can cause problems with gaining and maintaining an erection. This can be tough and when paired with the possibility of not being able to pass urine as before can be mentally challenging. In most instances you will be informed of all possible side effects before treatment takes place.

It is vital...

There are many theories about why we get cancer individually, they range from genetic mutations through to environmental carcinogens, improper diet and the use of cell phones and other electromagnetic equipment.

I intend to look at the question form a more metaphysical perspective.

First of all, how much do we suffer from cancer? The statistic that is often cited, especially by people promoting alternative cancer cures, is that 1 in 3 people suffer from cancer at...

In July, 2008, British researchers claimed to have won a major victory for prostate cancer treatment. According to recently release reports, a new drug, abiraterone, may be used to treat as many as 80% of patients suffering from advanced forms of prostate cancer.

Researchers worldwide involved in the treatment of prostate cancer are cautiously optimistic, and welcoming what may arguably be the best news in prostate cancer treatment research in the past 15 years. It is thought...
