TREATMENT While the most important factor in colorectal cancer is early detection, treatment is an important component. Treatment is driven by how advanced the cancer is. The cancerous tumor must be removed along with adjacent tissue. After this is done, the two ends of the intestines are joined. This is markedly invasive surgery and often will require a temporary colostomy. A colostomy is an opening in the abdomen through which feces

...It can spot moderate to severe dysplasia (irregular tissue), "some of which may turn out to be malignant and you'll have a case of lung cancer," he explains. Patients with dysplasia can then be closely monitored, and if cancer appears, it can be treated in its earliest stages. The second diagnostic tool is an imaging agent called Nofetumomab (verluma). Approved by FDA in 1996, it can determine the extent of

diseases i.e. lung cancer, childhood leukemia, obesity and Alzheimer's disease. In each explanation, I have included a definition of the disease, risk factors, treatments, prognosis, and prevention. Later, I have provided short literature reviews of four articles. Lung Cancer Lungs are those organs in the body that help the human beings to breathe i.e. inhale and exhale oxygen. Their primary function is to provide oxygen to every cell in the body.

Nursing There are many diseases that can be treated if they are detected at an early stage. A number of such diseases include cancers including colon, cervical and breast cancers. All of the mentioned diseases can be fatal if they are not treated in a timely manner. For treatment in a timely manner, it is important that the disease is detected while it is still benign and not that harmful. For

Certain populations can benefit greatly from prevention, especially those who are prone to specific types of diseases or conditions. One of the most common behaviors that leads to many chronic and often very damaging health conditions is smoking. Smoking
