Rare Cancers in Adulthood - Anal cancer Anus is a 3 cm muscular ring connected to the end of the rectum with the function of controlling the expulsion of feces. Anal cancer is a type of cancer arisen from the malignant cells of the anus. It is a rare type of cancer in adulthood affected approximately 5000 men and women in US in 2010. Symptoms 1. Bleeding It may be caused by enlarged tumors affecting the capillaries in the anus or the large intestine trying to push waste through the blockage of the tumor. 2. Pain and pressure As the feces trying to push through the blockage of the tumor or tumor has growth large enough to press onto the nerves. 3. Itching

May be due to infection 4. Lump As the cancer has growth large enough to form a lump on the surface of the anus. This may be the early stage of the cancer. 5. Change of bowel habit Due to affect of the tumor. 6. Weight loss Any unintentional weight loss over 10% is the general symptoms of cancers. 7. Loss of appetite Another symptom of cancer. 8. Lower back pain The affect of tumor pressing to the nerve connect to the back. 9. Etc. Causes and risk factors 1. Human papillomavirus (HPV virus) In a study of Detection of Multiple Human Papillomavirus Genotypes in Anal Carcinoma by Sonia Ramamoorthy, Yu-Tsueng Liu, Linda Luo, Katsumi Miyai, Qing Lu and John M Carethers, researchers found that the majority of anal cancers in our study associated with pathogenic HPV 16 and/or 18. Other HPV genotypes are present simultaneously with HPV 16 and 18, and might contribute to its pathogenesis. 2. Sexual activity Anal sexual intercourse and sex with multiple partner can enhance the risk of HPV virus, leading to the disease. 3. Smoking a. In a study by Epidemiologist Janet Daling, Ph.D., a member of Fred Hutchinson's Public Health Sciences Division, and her team, researchers found that smoking appears to play a significant role in anal-cancer development that's independent of other behavioral risk factors. b. In a study of tobacco smoking and risk of recurrence for squamous cell cancer of the anus. researcher found that tobacco smoking appears to be associated with anal carcinoma disease recurrence, and is related to increased mortality. This data suggests that patients should be cautioned about tobacco smoking once a diagnosis of anal carcinoma is made in attempt to improve their long-term outcome.

4. Immunosuppression The weaken immune system due to suppression of medicine insreaces riak of anal cancer as a result of HIV infection. 5. Inflammation Inflammation caused by begnin anal lesions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), hemorrhoids, fistulae, hemorrhoids, anal fistulas, cicatrices, etc. enhance the risk of the cancer 6. Age Risk of the cancer increase after age of 50 7. Etc. Diagnosis and tests After recording your family history and a complete physical exams for any lump including anal pap smears similar to those used in cervical cancer to detect the early stage of the anal cancer. 1. Anal pap smears It is a easy done test similar to cervical pap test by using a small brush or cotton-tipped rod which is inserted into the anus to collect the the cells and examined under microscope. 2. Endo-anal or endorectal ultrasound It is a test with the use of a probe which is inserted into the rectum to generate high frequency sound waves (ultrasound waves) bouncing off internal tissues or organs. The pattern of echoes bounced off tissues is detected and converted into a picture on a screen of the computer to determine the location, size and stage of the cancer. 3. CT scan A CT scan generates a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation, to create a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body in details. The pictures are viewed by your doctor to see the extent of the tumors abnormalities, such as spreading of cancer to the nearby structure and lymph nodes. Unfortunately, CT scan can only review the existence of cancer, but can not tell it is a primary or secondary cancer. 4. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is one of many advanced technology

used to visualize internal structures cross sectional imaging of your body used effectively in providing the better details of the metastasis of cancer in the tissue, the organ and surrounding areas. 5. Etc. Grades The grade of anal cancer is depending to the tendency of spreading. Low grade cancers usually grow more slowly and are less likely to spread while high grade cancer indicates otherwise. Stages Anal cancer is classified as 5 stages 1. Stage 0 If the cancerous cells have not penetrated into deeper tissue and remain on the surface of the anus. 2. Stage I In stage I, the cancerous cells are no longer in the surface but have invaded into deep the inside tissue lining but still completely inside the affected anus. a. Stage IA The cancer is not 3 mm (1/8 inch) deep and 7 mm (1/4 inch) wide. a.1. Stage IA1:The spreading is not less than 3mm(1/8 inch) deep and & less than 7mm (1/4 inch) wide. a.2. Stage IA2:The invasion area is 3 mm but 5 mm (about 1/5 inch) deep and & less than 7 mm (about 1/4 inch) wide. b.Stage IB: The cancer in this stage have invaded the connected tissue of the anus, & less than 5mm (1/5 inch). b.1. Stage IB1: Cancer is 4 cm large (1 3/4 inches). b.2. Stage IB2:Cancer is 4 cm (1 3/4 inches) but & less than 5cm (1/5 inch) 3. Stage II In stage II, the cancerous cells have spread to distant tissues, but is still within the affected anus. 4. Stage IIIIn this stage, cancerous cells has spread to the tissues immediately surrounding the affected anus.

5. Stage IV In this stage, cancerous cells has spread to the tissue immediately outside of the anus to distant parts of the body. Preventions A. How to avoid 1. Early diagnosis If you feel that you have any of above symptoms, you should check with your doctor. In general, cancer disceovered in the early stage can ce treated without risk of colostomy. 2. Practice safe sex If you have several partners or anal sexual preference, please use any precaution to be infected by sexual transmtting diseases. 3. Vaccine At 22 December 2010, FDA has approved Gardasil vaccine to prevent anal cancer and pre-cancerous lesions in males and females aged 9 to 26 years to protect against anal cancer. 4. Quit Smoking As it has been proven as one the risk factor of anal cancer. 5. Etc. B. Diet 1. Omega 3 fatty acids In a study of The Effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Cancer, researcher found that that omega-3 fatty acids may affect tumor behavior by competing with omega-6 fatty acids for the enzymes that metabolize them to their bioactive products or by influencing the genes for these enzymes; however, other evidence suggests an effect on intracellular redox state and the integrity of membrane lipids. 2. Carrot In a study from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (UK) and the University of Southern Denmark (Odense) used a rat model to study the effect of carrots and falcarinol on tumor development, researchers found that found a diet rich in carrots provides anticancer benefits due to the activity of the chemical falcarinol. 3. Soy In laboratory studies, saponins have shown the ability to inhibit the

reproduction of cancer cells and slow the growth of tumors in several different tissues. 4. Grape Grape contains high amount of resveratrol which in some clinical studies of resveratrol, researchers found that resveratrol demonstrated an ability to reduce tumors already in existence, prevent cellular damage, and work to increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy. 5. Garlic An analysis of several case-controlled studies in Europe suggests an inverse association between garlic consumption and risk of common cancers. 6. Etc. C. Nutritional Supplements 1. Antioxiadant - Free radical scavengers Vitamin A, C, E are free radical scavengers enhanced the immune system against the forming of free radicals and prevent the alternation of cell DNA cause of abnormal cell growth.

Transferrin In a study of Transferrin Binding Protein Nanoparticles to Treat Cancer, researcher found that the use of this technique (laboratory invented a print technology, able to exact size and shape of human Zaochu meet the expectations of the nano-particles.) to produce a kind of preclusion can be combined with human transfer the biocompatibility of ferritin nanoparticles, which can safely and accurately identify the spectrum of cancer, in addition to B cell lymphoma,.... 3. Phytochemicals Phytochemicals are under active research for possible benefits immune system, and as anti-cancer agents. Flavonoids found abundant in berry, inhibit caner cell in vitro study. 4. Beta -carotene In some laboratory, animal, and human studies, researchers found that vitamin A, certain retinoids may also inhibit cancer development.

5. Zinc In Zinc and Cancer - Seminar by Belinda Hope indicated that epidemiologic studies suggest zinc deficiency may be associated with increased cancer risk and one way to do this is to improve general immunity using nutrients such as zinc. 6. Etc. Treatments A. In conventional medicine 1. Surgery a. Depending to the location and size of the tumor, if the cancer is small, the chance of cure is higher, as it can be removed with out affect the anusfunctions. b. In case of infeasibility, abdominoperineal resection may be necessary with the removal of the anus, rectum, and part of the sigmoid colon as an opening is made in the surface of the abdomen to collect body feces in a disposable bag outside of the body (colostomy) c. Risks and side effects Surgical and anesthesia risks 3. Radiotherapy a. By using high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation, radiation therapy kills lung cancer cells and keep them from growing or regrowing. Depending to stage, grade and location of the affected area. Radiation may be used in situations when surgery isn't an option. b. Risks and side effects b.1.. Fatigue b.2. Chest pain b.3. Heart problem b.4. Short of breath b.5. Skin discoloration or pinkness, irritation. b.6. Etc. 4. Chemotherapy a. Chemotherapy is most use to treat with advance stage of the cancer, as it has spread to a distant parts of the body by using drugs such as adriamycin, cis-platinum, cyclophosphamide, etc. taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle of the patient to stop the growth of or to kill cancer cells.

b. Risks and side effects b.1. Nausea b.2. Vomiting b.3. Hair loss b.4. Fatigueb. 5. Anemia b.6. Mouth sores taste and smell changes b.7. Infection b.8. Etc. B. Herbal medicine 1. Allium tuberosumIn a study of A Pilot Study on Anticancer Activities of Chinese Leek researchers found that Chinese leek extract inhibited cancer cell growth and induced apoptosis in vitro. Oral administration of leek extract significantly reduced lung metastases in the present animal model. 2. Red clover 3. Allium sativum An analysis of several case-controlled studies in Europe suggests an inverse association between garlic consumption and risk of common cancers. 4. Green tea Leaves of Camellia sinensis, in some clinical studies researchers suggested that the polyphenols in green tea, may play an important role in the prevention of cancer by killing cancerous cells and stopping their progression. 5. Etc. C. Traditional Chinese medicine 1. Dong ling Cao (Rabdosime Rubescentis) In laboratory animals study, reported by Joe Hing Kwok Chu, Dong ling Cao's components rubescensine A and B inhibit Ehrlich-Ascites tumor, sarcoma180 and esophageal carcinoma. 2. Yi Yi Ren and other herbs In clinical study with(100ml was equal to 50g crude drug), oral administration, 20~40ml, 3 times daily, Yi Yi Ren combined with Teng Liu, He Zi An Ling Tiao was used to treat alimentary tract cancers. 168 cases of patients were treated, 1 dose every day, taken in three times.After treatment,

the appetite and general condition were improved. And this formula had certain therapeutic effects on 30 cases out of 36 cases who took over three months treatment. 3. Bai Hua She She Cao The Sanjiv Kumar YADAV, Shao Chin LEE(Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore researcher results showed that the ethanol extract from Bai Hua She She Cao effectively evokes cancer cell apoptosis, possibly through burst-mediated caspase activation. 4. Jiu Zi (Chinese leek) In a study of A Pilot Study on Anticancer Activities of Chinese Leek researchers found that Chinese leek extract inhibited cancer cell growth and induced apoptosis in vitro. 5. Etc. Rare Cancer in Adulthood - Bile Duct Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma) Bile duct, the tube-like structure carries bile to the intestine for foods digestion secreted by the liver through the common bile duct. Bile duct cancer is defined as the malignant cells originated from the cells in the duct. It more likely to affects people between age of 50 - 70 with an annual incident rate of less 2 cases per 100,000 in the Western world. Symptoms 1 Abdominal pain Due to the enlarged tumor that has blocked the flow of bile. 2. Jaundice Any blockage of the flow of bile will reduce liver function in waste procession, in this case, it is death of blood cells. 3. Weight loss Weight loss is a general cause of cancer 4. Itching Due to abnormal function in toxins procession. 5. Fever As a result of infection or inflammation 6. Stool or urine color change

Due to bile flows back to the liver. 7. Enlarged liver May be caused by back flow of bile 8. Nausea and vomiting They are the general symptoms of cancer 9. Loss of appetite Another general symptom of cancer 10. Etc. Causes and risk factors The exact cause of bile duct is unknown 1. Liver diseases Increased risk of bile duct cancer for people with liver diseases such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, ulcerative colitis, choledochal cysts, cirrhosis, etc. 2. Parasites Due to eating uncooked fish, meat and plant growth in the infected water contains tiny fluke parasite worm. 3. Age The cancer is more likely to develop in the age between 50- 70. 4. Obesity Hormonal change due to obesity increase the risk of bile duct cancer. 5. Gene In a study of K-ras Mutation, p53 Overexpression, and Microsatellite Instability in Biliary Tract Cancers by Asif Rashid1, Takashi Ueki, Yu-Tang Gao, Patrick Scott Houlihan, Charita Wallace, Bing-Sheng Wang, MingChang Shen, Jie Deng, and Ann W. Hsing reserchers found that ...K-ras mutation was present in 14.3% of the biliary tract cancers in our study......p53 overexpression was present in 27.6% of biliary tract cancers.... MSI-high was present in 3.2% of biliary tract cancers.... genetic alterations in biliary tract cancer vary by subsite and histological type of tumor and by age of onset of the tumor. The frequency of the K-ras mutation is dependent on the subsite of the biliary tract cancer and associated with prognosis of bile duct cancers; p53 overexpression and MSI are associated with the histological type of tumor; and MSI is associated with early age of onset without HNPCC.

6. Chemical exposure People have exposed to certain chemical substances such as thorium dioxide, nitrosamines, dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls are st risk of bile duct cancer. 7. Infection of hepatitis B and C Inflammation and infection caused by hep B, C can cause the increased risk of the disease. 9. Family history Risk of bile duct cancer increase for people with family history of bile duct cancer. 10. Alcohol drinking Excessive drinking can cause cirrhosis, leading to increased risk of bile duct cancer. 11. Etc. Grades The grade of bile duct cancer are depending to the tendency of spreading. Low grade cancers usually grow more slowly and are less likely to spread while high grade cancer indicates otherwise. Stages Bile duct cancer is classified as 5 stages 1. Stage 0 If the cancerous cell have not penetrated into deeper tissue but on the surface of the inside lining of the bile duct . 2. Stage I In stage I, the cancerous cells are no longer in the surface but have invaded into deep the inside bile duct lining but still completely inside the bile duct. a. Stage IA The cancer is not 3 mm (1/8 inch) deep and 7 mm (1/4 inch) wide. a.1. Stage IA1: The spreading is not less than 3mm(1/8 inch) deep and & less than 7mm (1/4 inch) wide. a.2. Stage IA2:The invasion area is 3 mm but 5 mm (about 1/5 inch) deep and & less than 7 mm (about 1/4 inch) wide.

b.Stage IB: The cancer in this stage have invaded the connective tissue, & less than 5mm (1/5 inch). b.1. Stage IB1:Cancer is 4 cm large (1 3/4 inches). b.2. Stage IB2:Cancer is 4 cm (1 3/4 inches) but & less than 5cm (1/5 inch) 3. Stage II In stage II, the cancerous cells have spread to distant tissues, but is still within the bile duct. 4. Stage III In this stage, cancerous cells has spread to the tissues immediately surrounding the bile duct. 5. Stage IV In this stage, cancerous cells has spread to the tissue immediately outside of the bile duct to distant parts of the body. Diagnosis and tests After recording the family history and physical exam to check for any sign of cancer such as swelling, lump, etc. Your doctor may suggested the diagnosis and tests below. 1. Blood test With the blood withdrawn from your vein, it is test to measure the levels of bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase. Higher levels of above are indication of improper function of the bile duct. 2. Blood test for tumor markers (CEA and CA19-9) Any indication of high levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA19-9 in the blood may be result of bile duct cancer. 3. Biopsy In bile duct cancer biopsy, a very small tissue sample is extracted and examined under a microscope for the presence of cancer cells by using a thin, tube like medical instrument to look for the grade of abnormal cells growth by a pathologist, depending to the location of the cancer. 4. Ultrasound Ultrasound allows your doctor to visualize and assess the size and to check for any abnormality and surrounding area with image taken from the test.

5. CT scan A CT scan generates a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation, to create a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body in details. The pictures are viewed by your doctor to see the extent of the tumors abnormalities, such as spreading of cancer to the nearby structure and lymph nodes. Unfortunately, CT scan can only review the existence of cancer, but can not tell it is a primary or secondary cancer. 6. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is one of many advanced technology used to visualize internal structures cross sectional imaging of your body used effectively in providing the better details of the metastasis of cancer in the vulva and surrounding areas. 7. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) In fine needle aspiration (FNA) bile duct diagnosis, a needle is guided by ultrasound or CT scan from the skin through the abdomen and into the bile duct to exam the tumor if there is one. Sample is also taken for examination by a pathologist under microscope. 8. Etc. Preventions A. How to avoid 1. Avoid eating raw fish and meat It is proven that raw fish and meat may contain parasites which cause bile duct cancer. 2. Clean your raw vegetables vegetables grown in contaminated water can contain parasites that cause the disease. 3. Avoid infected by hepatitis Take hepatitis vaccine 4. Avoid exposure to certain chemicals Avoid making contact with certain chemicals such as thorium dioxide, nitrosamines, dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls can increase the risk if bile duct cancer. If occupation required, please take all necessary precaution. 5. Lose weight Obesity is proven can cause hormonal changes that can cause bile duct cancer. 6. Avoid alcohol Excessive drinking can cause cirrhosis and other liver diseases.

7. Etc. B. Diet 1. Carrot Carrot contains high amount of beta carotene which has shown to induce appotosis of cancer cells. In study of Cell Cycle Regulation and Induction of Apoptosis by -carotene, researchers found that in vivo study warrants further confirmation that -carotene acts as apoptosis agent in cancer cells particularly leukemia cells but not normal cells. 2. Garlic An analysis of several case-controlled studies in Europe suggests an inverse association between garlic consumption and risk of common cancers. 3. Green tea In some clinical studies researchers suggested that the polyphenols in green tea, may play an important role in the prevention of cancer by killing cancerous cells and stopping their progression. 4. Cabbage Cabbage beside contains high amount of antioxidants, but also phytonutrients that have been shown to help prevent the onset and halt the progression of certain cancers. 5. Soy In laboratory studies, saponins have shown the ability to inhibit the reproduction of cancer cells and slow the growth of tumors in several different tissues. 6. Etc. C. Nutritional supplements 1. Antioxidants - free radical scavengers Vitamin A, C, E are free radical scavengers enhanced the immune system against the forming of free radicals and prevent the alternation of cell DNA cause of abnormal cell growth.

2. Beta -carotene In some laboratory, animal, and human studies, researchers found that vitamin A, certain retinoids may also inhibit cancer development. 3. Lycopene Many studies showed that antioxidant lycopene in tomato inhibits cancer cell growth and exhibit apoptosis, causing cell death. 4. Omega 3 polyunsurated fatty acid In a study of Cyclooxygenase-2Derived Prostaglandin E2 Activates BetaCatenin in Human Cholangiocarcinoma Cells: Evidence for Inhibition of TheseSignaling Pathways by W3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids by Kyu Lim, Chang Han, Lihong Xu, Kumiko Isse, Anthony J. Demetris and Tong Wu, researchers found that COX-2derived PGE2 activates beta-catenin in human cholangiocarcinomacells and that N3-PUFAs inhibit cholangiocarcinoma cell growth by simultaneously blocking beat-catenin and COX-2 signaling pathways.Our findings provide important preclinical evidence and molecularinsight for potential utilization of omega 3-PUFAs in the chemopreventionand treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. 5. Selenium Research showed that selenium has a protective effect on various stages of cancer, including both the early and later stages of the disease. In a study in large groups of people, researchers found that in areas of the world where selenium levels in the soil are high, death rates from cancer are significantly lower than in areas where selenium levels are low. 6.Etc. Treatments A. In conventional medicine 1. Surgery a. The aim of the surgery is to cure, if the cancer is small, the bile duct is removed and replaced by making a new duct connect to the openings in the liver to the intestine. In case of cancer has spread to the liver then part of liver is removed as well, depending to the grade and stage and location of the cancer. b. Risks and side effects Surgical and anesthesia risks 2. Radiotherapy

a. Radiation may be used for stages II, III, and IV to kill any cancer cells remaining in the body. By using high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation, radiation therapy kills the cancer cells and keep them from growing or regrowing after surgery. Sometimes, radiotherapy is used instead of surgery under certain condition and situation. b. Side effects b.1. Fatigue b.2. Chest pain b.3. Heart problem b.4. Short of breath b.5. Skin discoloration or pinkness, irritation. b.6. Etc. c. Chemotherapy Chemotherapy is most use to treat with advance stage of cancer combined with radio therapy, as it has spread to a distant parts of the body by using drugs taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle of the patient to stop the growth of or to kill cancer cells. In bile duct cancer, the cancer is not sensitive to chemotherapy, but it can be used as additional treatment after surgery. b. Side effects b.1. Nausea b.2. Vomiting b.3. Hair loss b.4. Fatigue b.5. Anemia b.6. Mouth sores taste and smell changes b.7. Infection b.8. Etc. B. Herb medicine 1. Tea Tannins, a group of simple and complex phenol, polyphenols, and flavonoid compounds, once are considered anti nutritional but it is now known of their beneficial depending to their chemical structure and dosage for its antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitic effects. Theanine, an amino acid that produces tranquilizing effects in the brain, theanine found in green tea, has a significant clinical results for naturally calming as it promotes alpha brain waves, putting you in a state of relaxation without causing drowsiness. It also increases the dopamine levels in the

brain, leading to a well-being feeling. 2. Celandine Celandine is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Chelidonium, belonging to the family Papaveraceae, native to Europe and western Asia and introduced widely in North America. In a study of Ukrain (Ukrain is an anticancer drug based on the extract of the plant) a new cancer cure? A systematic review of randomised clinical trials, researcher suggested, according to the data from randomised clinical trials that Ukrain to have potential as an anticancer drug. However, numerous caveats prevent a positive conclusion, and independent rigorous studies are urgently needed. 3. Curcumin In laboratory and animal studies, researchers found that curcumin may slow the spread of cancer and the growth of new tumor blood vessels. It may also cause cancer cells to die. 4. Fenugreek Fenugreek is used both as a herb (the leaves) and as a spice (the seed), genus Trigonella, belonging to family Fabaceae. Vitro studies have shown that fenugreek exhibits chemopreventive properties against certain cancers. 5. Etc. C. Traditional Chinese medicine 1. Pu Kong Yin (Dandelion Root) In a study of the efficacy of dandelion root extract in inducing apoptosis in drug-resistant human melanoma cells, researchers found that treatment with this common, yet potent extract of natural compounds has proven novel in specifically inducing apoptosis in chemoresistant melanoma, without toxicity to healthy cells. Po kung yin is one the best Chinese herbs to treat hepatistic virus infection. 2. Bai Hua She She Cao In a study of Evidence for Oldenlandia diffusa-evoked cancer cell apoptosis through superoxide burst and caspase activation by Yadav SK, Lee SC, researchers found that the ethanol extract of the herb effectively evokes cancer cell apoptosis, possibly through burst-mediated caspase activation.

3. Huang qi and Dang qui According to the report of 2007 Dr. Narda G. Robinson, DO, DVM, MS. huang qi (astragalus) and Dang qui (angelica) activate the immune system and display antitumor activity. In study of Astragalus-Based Chinese Herbs and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy for Advanced NonSmall-Cell Lung Cancer: Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials, researchers found that astragalus may increase effectiveness of platinum-based chemotherapy when combined with chemotherapy. These results require confirmation with rigorously controlled trials. According to the American Cancer Society, the substances, licochalcone-A, licocoumarone and glabridin, which are present in licorice root, may prevent mutations in the DNA and kill existing cancer. 4. Bai zhu In a laboratory tests researchers found that neutral oil of the vaporizing oil bai zhu could inhibit esophagus cancer cells. 10mg/ml/hour could detach all the cancer cells. 5mg/ml/hour could detach most of the cancer cells and damaged the remaining cells. The nucleus became hazy and the cells became empty bubbles., according to Introduction of Research of Effect of Chinese Herbs on Cancer Cells. 5. Ling Zhi Ling Zhi one of many herbs, has been used over thousands of year in treating abnormal cells growth in traditional Chinese and herbal medicine. In a study , researcher found that cancer cells responded to the herb much in the same way as they would react to chemotherapy drugs. Yet unlike chemotherapy drugs, which can also be toxic to healthy cells, herbal extracts were more deadly to cancer cells than to normal cells, indicating that they have some ability to specifically target cancer. 6. Etc. Rare Cancer in Adulthood - Carcinoid/ Carcinoid Tumors Carcinoid is a slow-growing type of neuroendocrine tumor, arisen from the malignant cells of the neuroendocrine system, but it can produce hormones and release them into the bloodstream, causing symptoms of flushing in the face and chest and wheezing. Approximately 7587% The tumors found in

the digestive tract such as appendix, small bowel, stomach. etc. at the level of the ileum and 28% in the respiratory tract of all cases. Symptoms 1. Abdominal pain and cramps Due to the tumor in the abdomen has affected the nerve of the area. 2. Symptoms due to production of hormones from the cancer a. Facial flushing b. Chest flushing c. Diarrhea d. Wheezing e. Etc. Causes and risk factors 1. Family history Increased risk of carcinoid for people with family history with the disease. 2. Health condition Certain chronic health conditions, such as a peptic ulcer or Zollinger Ellison syndrome can increase risk of the carcinoid. 3. Race Black men of African descent are at higher risk than other races. 4. Gender Women are at higher risk of carcinoid before the age of 50, but the risk reverses after that 5. Smoking A study in Europe also found that smoking may double the risk of having a carcinoid tumor in the small intestine than non smokers 6. Syndrome Family syndrome with multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 (MEN1) is at higher risk of the disease. 7. Etc. Grades The grade of mesothelioma are depending to the tendency of spreading. Low grade cancers usually grow more slowly and are less likely to spread while high grade cancer indicates otherwise. Stages Carcinoid is classified as 5 stages 1. Stage 0

If the cancerous cell have not penetrated into deeper tissue and remain on the surface of the organ. 2. Stage I In stage I, the cancerous cells are no longer in the surface but have invaded into deep the inside tissue lining but still completely inside the affected organ. a. Stage IA The cancer is not 3 mm (1/8 inch) deep and 7 mm (1/4 inch) wide. a.1. Stage IA1: The spreading is not less than 3mm(1/8 inch) deep and & less than 7mm (1/4 inch) wide. a.2. Stage IA2: The invasion area is 3 mm but 5 mm (about 1/5 inch) deep and & less than 7 mm (about 1/4 inch) wide. b.Stage IB: The cancer in this stage have invaded the other tissue of the organ, & less than 5mm (1/5 inch). b.1. Stage IB1: Cancer is 4 cm large (1 3/4 inches). b.2. Stage IB2: Cancer is 4 cm (1 3/4 inches) but & less than 5cm (1/5 inch) 3. Stage IIIn stage II, the cancerous cells have spread to distant tissues, but is still within the affected organ. 4. Stage III In this stage, cancerous cells has spread to the tissues immediately surrounding the affected organ. 5. Stage IV In this stage, cancerous cells has spread to the tissue immediately outside of the affected organ to distant parts of the body. Diagnosis and test After recording your family history and symptoms of above, a physical exam is to check for any sign of tumor,especially in the abdominal region. 1. Urinary and blood test The tests is to measure the levels of the levels of serotonin or its by-products such as 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), neuropeptide, neurotensin, secretin, etc. over 24 hours period, the higher levels may be an indication of carcinoid. Serotonin-rich foods such as pineapple, eggplant, walnuts,

banana, etc. may interfere with result make sure you follow the instruction your doctor before taking the tests. 2. Chest x ray If your doctor suspected the cancer has spread to the lung or the primary cancer is in the lung. 3. CT scan A CT scan generates a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation, to create a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body in details. The pictures are viewed by your doctor to see the extent of the tumors abnormalities, such as spreading of cancer to the nearby structure and lymph nodes. Unfortunately, CT scan can only review the existence of cancer, but can not tell it is a primary or secondary cancer. 4. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is one of many advanced technology used to visualize internal structures cross sectional imaging of your body used effectively in providing the better details of the metastasis of cancer in the tissue, the organ and surrounding areas. 5. Positron emission tomography (PET) Positron emission tomography (PET) is a type of nuclear medicine imaging with the uses of small amounts of short-lived radioactive material, either injected into a vein, swallowed or inhaled as a gas which will appear in the area of the body being examined, where it gives off energy in the form of gamma rays detected by a camera of positron emission tomography that produces a three-dimensional image or picture of functional processes of the organ in the body. 6. Etc. Preventions A. How to avoid 1. People with stomach pain and ulcer may have carcinoid growth in the stomach without knowing, because it is slow grow and most of time it can be discovered before causing any symptoms or problem. 2. Quit smoking Since smoking double the risk of carcinoid, stop smoking can reduces it.

3. Etc. B. Diet Although there no effective way in preventing the development of carcinoids, eating foods contains high amount of antioxidants and have been found to have some effects in killing cancers in certain studies might be helpful in preventing the disease. 1. Green tea Green tea contain low levels of oxalate and some researchers believe that the amount of oxalate may already absorbed by the digestive system, before it has the change to enter the body . In some clinical studies researchers suggested that the polyphenols in green tea, may play an important role in the prevention of cancer by killing cancerous cells and stopping their progression. 2. Grape Grape contains high amount of resveratrol which in some clinical studies of resveratrol, researchers found that resveratrol demonstrated an ability to reduce tumors already in existence, prevent cellular damage, and work to increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy. 3.

Blood test for tumor markers (CEA and CA19-9) Any indication of high levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA19-9 in the blood may be result of gallbladder cancer. 2. Ultrasound Ultrasound allows your doctor to visualize and assess the size and to check for any abnormality and surrounding area with image taken from the test. 3. CT scan A CT scan generates a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation, to create a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body in details. The pictures are viewed by your doctor to see the extent of the tumors abnormalities, such as spreading of cancer to the nearby structure and lymph nodes. Unfortunately, CT scan can only review the existence of cancer, but can not tell it is a primary or secondary cancer.

4. Chest x-ray If your doctor suspected that cancer has invaded the lung tissue. 5. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is one of many advanced technology used to visualize internal structures cross sectional imaging of your body used effectively in providing the better details of the metastasis of cancer in the vulva and surrounding areas. 6.

In case a blockage is found, bile will be drained through a thin, flexible tube put in the liver to the small intestine. 9. Etc. Grades The grade of gallbladder cancer are depending to the tendency of spreading. Low grade cancers usually grow more slowly and are less likely to spread while high grade cancer indicates otherwise. Stages Gallbladder cancer is classified as 5 stages 1. Stage 0 If the cancerous cell have not penetrated into deeper tissue but on the surface of the inside lining of the gallbladder . 2. Stage I In stage I, the cancerous cells are no longer in the surface but have invaded into deep the inside gallbladder lining but still completely inside the gallbladder. a. Stage IA

Stage II In stage II, the cancerous cells have spread to distant tissues, but is still within the gallbladder. 4. Stage III In this stage, cancerous cells has spread to the tissues immediately surrounding the gallbladder. 5. Stage IV In this stage, cancerous cells has spread to the tissue immediately outside of the gallbladder to distant parts of the body. Prevention A. How to avoid 1, Quit smoking Smoking In a study of Acute effect of smoking on gallbladder emptying and refilling in chronic smokers and nonsmokers: a sonographic study by Degirmenci B, Albayrak R, Haktanir A, Acar M, Yucel A. researchers found that smoking prolongs the maximal GB emptying time both in smokers and in nonsmokers though it is not significant. It delays GB contraction in chronic smokers and causes a significant decrease in GB emptying volume. Smoking causes no significant delay in GB refilling in both smokers and nonsmokers. These effects of smoking observed in acute phase result in bile stasis in GB. Bile stasis is the underlying cause of most GB disorders in chronic process. 2. Reduce intake of Alcohol drinking

The cancer accounts for an approximate 5% of all cases and tends to be aggressive and affects an younger age group. 3. Basal cell carcinoma A slow growth type of vulvar cancer, accounts approximately 1-2 % of all cases and affects most ly older women age group. 4. Etc. Causes and risk factorsThere is no known cause of vulvar cancer but the genetic change cause of mutation of DNA of the cells. Some theories suggested that it is caused by free radical but further studies are needed. 1. Human papilloma virus (HPV) Risk of vulvar cancer increases with the infection of HPV.

2. Sexually transmitted diseases Women who are treated with antibodies due to sexual transmitted diseases such as herpes are at higher risk of vulvar cancer. 3. Lupus Lupus is a chronic inflammatory diseases due to immune system attacks the body own tissues and organs. Statistic showed that risk of vulvar cancer increases by 5 fold with women with lupus. 4. Smoking It may be due to cigarette carcinogens. 5. Immunosuppressant drugs Using immunosuppressant drugs to suppress the immune system for implantation are at high risk to develop vulvar cancer. 6. HIV/AIDs Increased risk of vulvar cancer for women with HIV/AIDS. 7. Psoriasis Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated disease that appears on the skin, as a result of immune system faulty signals that speed up the growth cycle of skin cells. Higher risk of vulvar cancer if a woman has developed the disease. 8. Etc. Symptoms 1. Persistent itching 2. Bleeding It may be caused by tumor has invaded the nearby capillaries. 3. Redness 4. Lump Due to the growth of malignant cells 5. Painful during urination It may be caused by cancer has narrow the urinary track 6. Genital warts Growth of the cancer depends on the types of cells. 7. Painful sexual intercourse 8. Etc. Grades The Grade of vulvar cancer are depending to the tendency of spreading. Low grade cancers usually grow more slowly and are less likely to spread while high grade cancer indicates otherwise.

Stages Vulva cancer is classified as 5 stages 1. Stage 0 If the cancerous cell have not penetrated into deeper tissue but on the surface of the the inside lining of the vulvar lining. 2. Stage I In stage I, the cancerous cells are no longer in the surface but have invaded into deep the inside vulvar limning but still completely inside the vulva. a. Stage IA The cancer is not 3 mm (1/8 inch) deep and 7 mm (1/4 inch) wide. a.1. Stage IA1: The spreading is not less than 3mm(1/8 inch) deep and & less than 7mm (1/4 inch) wide. a.2. Stage IA2:The invasion area is 3 mm but 5 mm (about 1/5 inch) deep and & less than 7 mm (about 1/4 inch) wide. b.Stage IB: The cancer in this stage have invaded the connective tissue, & less than 5mm (1/5 inch). b.1. Stage IB1: Cancer is 4 cm large (1 3/4 inches). b.2. Stage IB2: Cancer is 4 cm (1 3/4 inches) but & less than 5cm (1/5 inch) 3. Stage II In stage II, the cancerous cells have spread to distant tissues, but is still within the vulva. 4. Stage III In this stage, cancerous cells has spread to the tissues immediately surrounding the vulva. 5. Stage IV In this stage, cancerous cells has spread to the tissue immediately outside of the vulva to distant parts of the body. Diagnosis and tests After recording the family history and physical exam to look for any sign of abnormality, such as lump, in your vagina and cervix with the use of a

speculum. The exam also includes a pap test for lab analysis. 1. Biopsy In vulvar cancer biopsy, a very small tissue sample is extracted and examined under a microscope for the presence of cancer cells by using a thin, tube like medical instrument to look for the grade of abnormal cells growth. 2. Cystoscopy Cystoscopy is an exam to look inside surface of the bladder via the urethra with a thin, light tube called cystoscope under local anesthesia. If your doctor suspected that the cancer has spread to the bladder. 3. Proctoscopy Proctoscopy is an visual exam of the rectum using a thin lighted tube. If your your doctor suspected that the cancer has spread to the bowel tissue. 4. Chest x-ray If your doctor suspected that cancer has invaded the lung tissue. 2. Cystoscopy Cystoscopy is an exam to look inside surface of the bladder via the urethra with a thin, light tube called cystoscope under local anesthesia. If your doctor suspected that the cancer has spread to the bladder. 3. Proctoscopy Proctoscopy is an visual exam of the rectum using a thin lighted tube. If your your doctor suspected that the cancer has spread to the bowel tissue. 4. Chest x-ray If your doctor suspected that cancer has invaded the lung tissue. 5. CT scan A CT scan generates a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation, to create a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body in details. The pictures are viewed by your doctor to see the extent of the tumors abnormalities, such as spreading of cancer to the nearby structure and lymph nodes. Unfortunately, CT scan can only review the existence of cancer, but can not tell it is a primary or secondary cancer. 6. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is one of many advanced technology used to visualize internal structures cross sectional imaging of your body

used effectively in providing the better details of the metastasis of cancer in the vulva and surrounding areas. 7. Positron emission tomography (PET) Positron emission tomography (PET) is a type of nuclear medicine imaging with the uses of small amounts of short-lived radioactive material, either injected into a vein, swallowed or inhaled as a gas which will appear in the area of the body being examined, where it gives off energy in the form of gamma rays detected by a camera of positron emission tomography that produces a three-dimensional image or picture of functional processes of the organ in the body. 8. Etc. Preventions A. How to avoid 1. Quit smoking and limited intake of alcohol In a study of Smoking, alcohol among risk factors for vulvar/vaginal carcinoma by reuter, researchers found that on multivariate logistic regression analysis, statistically significant risk factors for VV-SCCvulva included history of anogenital warts (p<0.001), marital status (p=0.03), smoker status (p<0.001), cumulative alcohol consumption (p=0.01), and years at school (p=0.02). Significant risk factors for VV-SCCvagina were genital washing habits before and after intercourse (p=0.02), history of preinvasive or invasive cervical cancer (p<0.001), smoker status (p=0.02), and cumulative alcohol consumption (p=0.003). 2. Safe sex practice To reduce the risk of development of sexually transmitted diseases such as HPV infection. 3. Detecting pre-cancerous conditions Pre-cancerous vulvar conditions can be prevented, if the vulva is examined at the same time when a woman has a pap test and pelvic examination. 4. Etc. B. Diet 1. Cranberries Cranberries contains high amount of cyanidin and delphidin which inhibit vulvar cancer in vitro.

2. Green tea Green tea contain low levels of oxalate and some researchers believe that the amount of oxalate may already absorbed by the digestive system, before it has the change to enter the body . In some clinical studies researchers suggested that the polyphenols in green tea, may play an important role in the prevention of cancer by killing cancerous cells and stopping their progression. 3. Modified citrus pectin In a study, researcher found modified citrus pectin may help block the growth and metastasis of solid tumors. 4. Garlic An analysis of several case-controlled studies in Europe suggests an inverse association between garlic consumption and risk of common cancers. 5. Cabbage Cabbage beside contains high amount of antioxidants, but also phytonutrients that have been shown to help prevent the onset and halt the progression of certain cancers. 6. Etc. C. Nutritional supplements 1. Antioxidants - free radical scavengers Vitamin A, C, E are free radical scavengers enhanced the immune system against the forming of free radicals and prevent the alternation of cell DNA cause of abnormal cell growth. For more information of how antioxidants help to treat cancer, click here 2. Cyanidin and delphidin In a study of A study by Susanne Meiers and a team of researchers at the University of Regensburg in Germany, published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry in February 2001. researchers found that cyanidin and delphidin inhibits vulva cancer cells in vitro. 3. Beta -carotene In some laboratory, animal, and human studies, researchers found that vitamin A, certain retinoids may also inhibit cancer development.

4. Phytochemicals Phytochemicals are under active research for possible benefits immune system, and as anti-cancer agents. Flavonoids found abundant in berry, inhibit caner cell in vitro study. 5. Lycopene Many studies showed that antioxidant lycopene in tomato inhibits cancer cell growth and exhibit apoptosis, causing cell death. 6. Etc. Treatments A. In conventional medicine 1. Surgery The aim of the surgery is to cure. If the tumor is small and has not spread deeply, surgery may be the only treatment. Otherwise, the combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be necessary, depending to the stage and grade of the cancer. In some case, dissection of the lymph nodes in the groin may be necessary if extensive surgery is needed to cure. b. Risks and side effects Surgical and anesthesia risks 2. Radiotherapy a. Sometime doctors give radiation for vulva cancer after surgery and before chemotherapy. In vulva cancer, radiation may be used to kill the cancer cells and keep them from growing or regrowing. b. Side effects b.1. Fatigue b.2. Chest pain b.3. Heart problem b.4. Short of breath b.5. Skin discoloration or pinkness, irritation. b.6. Etc. 3. Chemotherapy a. If the cancer has spread, chemotherapy with use of drugs to cure vulva cancer even the cancer has spread to distant part of the body. Chemotherapy is most use to treat with advance stage of cancer combined with radio therapy.

b. Side effects b.1. Nausea b.2. Vomiting b.3. Hair loss b.4. Fatigue b.5. Anemia b.6. Mouth sores taste and smell changes b.7. Infection b.8. Etc. 4. Laser Therapy a. Laser therapy is a treatment for patients with a low grade and stage of vulva cancer by using a laser beam concentrated to kill off the cancer cells. b. Risks and side effects b.1. burning and/or swelling to the treated area b.2. Itching, b.3. Redness b.4. Etc. 5. Etc. B. Herbal medicine 1. Asparagus Cochinchinensis In vitro studies researchers found that curcumin acts as a weak phytoestrogen, exhibits neuroprotective, antiproliferative and preventative effects against cancer. 2. Celandine Celandine is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Chelidonium, belonging to the family Papaveraceae, native to Europe and western Asia and introduced widely in North America. In a study of Ukrain (Ukrain is an anticancer drug based on the extract of the plant) a new cancer cure? A systematic review of randomised clinical trials, researcher suggested, according to the data from randomised clinical trials that Ukrain to have potential as an anticancer drug. However, numerous caveats prevent a positive conclusion, and independent rigorous studies are urgently needed. 3. Fenugreek

Fenugreek is used both as a herb (the leaves) and as a spice (the seed), genus Trigonella, belonging to family Fabaceae. Vitro studies have shown that fenugreek exhibits chemopreventive properties against certain cancers. 4. Aloe in some studies, researchers suggest that some chemical compounds of aloe, such as acemannan, aloeride, and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) may have immunomodulating and anticancer effects. 5. Etc. C. Traditional Chinese medicine 1. Dang qui Dang qui is also known as Chinese engelica root. A study published in the journal Life Sciences in August 2004 showed that an extract of Dang qui was able to slow the proliferation of several different types of cancer cells in vitro. 2. Huang Qi In study of Astragalus-Based Chinese Herbs and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy for Advanced NonSmall-Cell Lung Cancer: Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials, researchers found that astragalus may increase effectiveness of platinum-based chemotherapy when combined with chemotherapy. These results require confirmation with rigorously controlled trials. According to the American Cancer Society, the substances, licochalcone-A, licocoumarone and glabridin, which are present in licorice root, may prevent mutations in the DNA and kill existing cancer. 3. Pu Kong Yin (Dandelion Root) In a study of the efficacy of dandelion root extract in inducing apoptosis in drug-resistant human melanoma cells, researchers found that treatment with this common, yet potent extract of natural compounds has proven novel in specifically inducing apoptosis in chemoresistant melanoma, without toxicity to healthy cells. 4. Gan Cao Gan Cao is also known as Licorice root. In-vitro, researchers found that saponins in Gan Cao stimulate the immune system and inhibit Epstein-Barr

virus expression and possess anti-cancer activities. Etc.
