In this equation it’s taking the difference spotting what’s in common and seeing the remainder. When you consider the United States having spent $200 Billion Dollars on cancer research since the early 1970’s and the five year survival rate for all diagnosed with cancer has risen from 50 percent in the 1970’s to 65 percent today. Are we really getting our moneys worth when you look at the Top Ten Cancers that kill the most people?
Within the top tag 18 Major Types of Cancer which differ from this blog post, having many of the best links and options to speak of that was found on the internet. If others know of anymore please comment at the bottom of this blog. When someone is looking for Answers to Cancer there are many websites and personal blogs you find that have technical jargon with little substance (Been There ~ Done That.)
The Ten Deadilest… kill “eighty percent” of all cancer patients and also represents the severity of this disease. Although procedures continually improve, in many areas we need to increase the awareness of knowledge to prevent further increases to our health care cost in the United States. So within the future when programs are cut “we” can avoid a humantarian effort of keeping cost under control if we find the causes and effects!!!
I. Lung and Bronchial Cancer: actually there are two major types non – small cell and small cell lung cancer. With small cell lung cancer spreading more quickly (with more than 160,000 Americans are expected to die from lung cancer this year.)
II. Colon and Rectal Cancer: colon cancer grows in the tissues of the colon, whereas rectal cancer grows in the last few inches of the large intestine near the anus. Most cases begin as a clump of small benign cells called polyps and colorectal cancer will kill 52,000 Americans this year.
III. Breast Cancer: being the second most common cancer in women after skin cancer in the United States. This cancer usually forms in the ducts that carry milk in women and in rare cases can occur in men as well and breast cancer will kill 40,ooo Americans this year. The Estrogen Connection.
IV. Pancreatic Cancer: begins in the tissue of the pancreas which aids digestion and metabolism regulation. Detection and early intervention are difficult because it progresses stealthly and pancreatic cancer rapidly kills 37,000 Americans each year in the United States.
V. Prostate Cancer: the second leading cause of death in men after lung and bronchial cancer. Prostate cancer usually grows slowly in the prostate gland that produces semsual fluid to transport sperm. While some remain confined to the gland, and are easy to treat; others forms of prostate cancer are agressive quickly killing 28,000 Americans annually.
VI. Leukemia: the story of leukemia, however, it affects the blood – forming tissues of the body. Such as bone marrow and lymphatic system while resulting in an over production of the abnormal white blood cells. Leukemia types are classified how fast they progress and which cells they affect. Acute Myelogonous Leukemia which kills the most and combined 23,500 Americans die each year.
VII. Non – Hodgkin Lymphoma: this cancer affects the lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell. That is characterized by larger lymph nodes, fever and weight loss. There are several types of Non – Hodgkin Lymphoma categorized by whether the cancer is fast – or – slow growing and which type of lymphocytes are affected. Non – Hodgkin being deadlier then Hodgkin Lymphoma kills 20,000 Americans yearly.
VIII. Liver and Intrahepatic Bile Duct: which is the most common form of cancer globally, however, is uncommon in the United States. The rates are rising and usually spreads to the liver from else where in the body. A closely related cancer, intrahepatic bile duct cancer which occurs in the duct that carries bile from the liver to the small intestine with nearly 20,500 Americans who die of liver cancer each year.
IX. Ovarian Cancer: being the number four leading cause of death in women. With the median age of women diagnosed being 63 years old. This cancer is easily treated but harder to detect in early stages, however, recent research has brought to light early syptoms being abdominal pain, urgency in urination and pelvic discomfort with 15,500 women expected to die of ovarian cancer this year alone.
X. Esophageal Cancer: starting in the cells lining the esophagus which is the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. Which usually occurs in the lower part of the esophagus affecting more men than women and esophageal cancer will kill 14,500 Americans in 2013.
