Mesothelioma – Cancer of the lung lining

Mesothelioma is a very rare form of lung cancer that arises in the mesothelium. The mesothelium is made up of parietal and visceral membranes, thin layers of tissue, which surround organs and body cavities, such as the lungs or abdomen. The visceral membrane immediately surrounds the organ, and the parietal membrane is a sac covering. The visceral and parietal membranes that make up the mesothelium. The mesothelium is referred to by different names, depending on what part of the body it is found in.

Information on Laryngeal Cancer

Laryngeal cancer may also be called cancer of the larynx or laryngeal carcinoma. Most laryngeal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, reflecting their origin from the squamous cells which form the majority of the laryngeal epithelium. Cancer can develop in any part of the larynx, but the cure rate is affected by the location of the tumor. For the purposes of tumour staging, the larynx is divided into three anatomical regions: the glottis (true vocal cords, anterior and posterior commissures); the supraglottis (epiglottis, arytenoids and aryepiglottic folds, and false cords); and the subglottis.

The larynx is an organ at the front of your neck. It is also called the voice box. It is about 2 inches long and 2 inches wide. It is above the windpipe (trachea). Below and behind the Continue Reading

The role of nutrition care in cancer treatments

The role of nutrition in cancer patients is very important. Not only for the body but the mind. My husband was given three weeks to live in 1999. He was on radiation and chemotherapy.

The chemotherapy made him lose his appetite, plus his esophagus had narrowed. It was as thin as a match. There were body changes as his right lung had been removed in 1998. His spinal cord was taking many twists and turns. His esophagus with it. I was told it would not be the cancer that killed him but the lack of protein. I told the doctor I would fight it and he said there was no hope as he had cancer in an advanced stage.

I declared war with the cancer. I fed him raw eggs and milk with a high protein drink. It was easy to swallow. I did my research on all high protein foods and kept in Continue Reading

Over the last few years the number of women diagnosed with cancer has increased because more women are smoking than every before. Approximately 90% of lung cancers start in the brochi (the large, branching airways) and the trachea. This type of lung cancer is called “bronchogenic carcinoma.” The more specific types of lung cancer are small cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.

Almost everyonek knows that smoking leads to lung cancer. The American Lung Association reports that smoking is the cause of 90% of lung cancer in men, and 80% in women. Nearly 1 in 9 who start smoking today will be killed by it. Some people are fortunate and can survive many years without a Continue Reading
