*Risk Factors
Several factors influencing risk are:
1. Age.
Approximately 60% of breast cancer occurs in over 60 years of age. Greatest risk found in women aged over 75 years.
2. Never had breast cancer.
After the affected breast removed, then the risk of breast cancer in healthy increased by 0,5-1% / year.
3. Family history of breast cancer.
Women are mothers, sisters or children suffering from cancer, a risk 3 times more likely to have breast cancer.
4. Genetic and hormonal factors.
5. Disease had non-cancerous breast.
6. Menarche (first menstruation) before age 12 years, menopause after age 55 years, first pregnancy after age 30 years or had never been pregnant.
7. Kb pills or estrogen replacement therapy.
8. Obesity after menopause.
9. Use of alcohol.
10 The use of alcohol more than 1-2 cups / day can increase the risk of breast cancer.
11. Chemicals.
Several studies have mentioned the chemical exposure that resemble estrogen (contained in pesticides and other industrial products) may increase the risk of breast cancer.
12. DES (diethylstilbestrol).
Women who take DES to prevent miscarriage have a higher risk of breast cancer.
13 radiation.

*Symptoms and Signs
The initial symptoms in the form of a lump that is usually perceived differently from the surrounding breast tissue, painless and usually have an irregular edge.

In the early stages, when driven by a finger, a lump can be moved easily under the skin. At an advanced stage, the lump is usually attached to the chest wall or the surrounding skin. In advanced-stage cancer, can form a swollen lump or breast skin ulcers. Sometimes the skin over the lump shrank and looked like an orange peel.

Other symptoms that may be found in a lump or mass in the armpit, change the size or shape of the breast, an abnormal discharge from the nipple (usually bloody or yellow to green, may also be pus), change in skin color or texture in the breasts, nipples and areola (dark brown area around the nipple), breast looks red, the skin around the nipple scaly, nipples are interested in or feel itchy, painful swelling of the breasts or one breast. At an advanced stage may arise bone pain, weight loss, swelling of arms or ulcerated skin.

*Prevention
Many risk factors can not be controlled. Some experts diet and cancer experts believe that the changes in diet and lifestyle in general can reduce the incidence of cancer.

Endeavored to make early diagnosis of breast cancer easier to treat and can if still in early stages.

Be aware, examine the clinical breast and mammography as a screening procedure to detect the 3 instruments at an early stage cancer.

*Management
Treatment usually begins after the comprehensive assessment of the condition of the patient, ie about 1 week or more after the biopsy. The treatment consists of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and hormone inhibitors.

Radiation therapy used to kill cancer cells in the tumor removal and the surrounding area, including lymph node.

Chemotherapy (a combination of drugs to kill cells that multiply quickly or pressing breeding) and drug-hormone inhibitors (drugs that affect the hormones that support the growth of cancer cells) are used to suppress the growth of cancer cells throughout the body.

Stomachache. That complaint is often perceived Prasetyo, 45 years old, for three years before he was sentenced colorectal cancer (colon).

Initially, he was declared a doctor suffering from inflammation of the intestine, so that only given anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, and antibiotics. However, drugs were never able to completely remove the grievances. As a result, the recurrent abdominal pain, and always repeated. Until one day, he felt a great pain in her stomach.

Prasetyo returned to the doctor. This time, doctors say, Some large intestine was cut. Done a problem? Apparently not. Prasetyo that heavy smokers are still often feel pain in the abdomen. His body grew thin, and often had diarrhea. The cause of abdominal pain is finally known to pass the examination at a large hospital in Bandung. Certain cancers has been lodged in the large intestine Prasetyo, and has reached stage IV. Four months after hearing this verdict, Prasetyo perished for ever.

Colorectal cancer is one type of cancer is fairly common, especially in men and women aged 50 years or more. In men, colorectal cancer ranks as the third most common cancer found after prostate and lung. While in women, this cancer also ranks third after breast cancer and lung. ”From the various reports, in Indonesia there is an increase in the number of cases (colon cancer), though no definitive data. Data on the Department of Health found rates 1.8 per 100 thousand inhabitants,”the doctor said Adil S Pasaribu, SpB KBD, surgical specialists from Dharmais Cancer Hospital, Jakarta.

Colorectal cancer is the growth of malignant cancer cells in the surface of the colon or rectum. Most colon cancer starts with the growth of malignant cells that do not or adenoma, which in the early stages of forming polyps (cells that grow very quickly).

In the early stages, adenoma can be removed easily. It’s just that at this early stage, often adenoma did not show any symptoms, so that is not detected in a relatively long time. In fact, the initial adenoma not cause any complaints of this, at a time can develop into cancer that undermines all parts of the large intestine.

The initial symptoms are not typical of this makes a lot of colon cancer patients come to the hospital when the course of the disease was so advanced. Efforts treatment becomes difficult. In fact, as Chairman of the Association of Indonesian Internist Specialist, doctors SpPD Sudoyo KHOM Aru, the main key to the success of treatment of colon cancer was found in early-stage cancer, so that therapy can be implemented in a curative surgery. Unfortunately, things like this are very rare. What often happens is that cases such as experienced Prasetyo, the cancer is found at an advanced stage, so that the patient hopes for survival becomes very small.

If colon cancer is found in stage I, the patient opportunities to live up to five years to reach 85-95 percent. Meanwhile, if found in stage II, the opportunity to reach 60-80 per cent, at stage III around 30-60 percent, and stage IV of about 25 percent. ”This means, if there are 100 people with colon cancer stage IV, it is still alive five years only five people,’’said Aru.

Early detection
To avoid the worst, as experienced Prasetyo, early detection is very important. ”Early detection or screening for this cancer, can save lives,”firmly Fair.

With early detection can be found in a precancerous polyp, an abnormal colon or rectum that can be discarded before it turned into cancer. ”If all people aged 50 years or older be screened regularly, so as much as 60 percent of colorectal cancer deaths can be avoided,”he said.

Early detection is the investigation of individual asymptomatic (without symptoms) which aims to detect the disease at an early stage so that curative therapy can be done. In general, explained Adil, early detection can be performed on two groups, namely the general population and high risk groups. Early detection in the general population group made to individuals over the age of 40 years. While those belonging to high-risk groups, among others, are those who have had a polipektomi for adenoma in the large intestine, and the people who come from families with a history of this disease.

Associated with family history, you do not have to worry too much if it came from a family with a history of colon cancer. According to Adil, genetic factors can indeed be a cause of this disease, but these factors can be narrowed. Way, change your diet and do early detection.

Causes and symptoms
So far, the cause of colon cancer are not known with certainty. Only, there are some things that allegedly led to the potential of this malignant disease, namely: the wrong diet (too many foods high in fat and protein, and low in fiber), obesity (overweight), had colon cancer, comes from a family who have a history of colon cancer, had had polyps in the colon, age (risk increases at age above 50 years), less physical activity, often exposed to food preservatives and dyes that are not for food, and smoking.

In the book Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Management Guide says that although initial studies showed no relationship of smoking with the incidence of colon cancer, but new research suggests, long-term smokers (30-40 years) have a risk ranging from 1,5-3 times. It is estimated, one out of five cases of colon cancer in the United States can be attributed to smoking. Cohort and case-control with a good design shows, smoking associated with an increased risk of adenoma formation and also increase the risk of changes in adenoma of colon cancer. Therefore”to prevent the occurrence of colon cancer is recommended not to smoke,’’said Aru. About colon cancer symptoms, Aru mention a few things that patients often complained of, namely:

* Bleeding in the large intestine characterized by the finding of blood in the stool during defecation.

* Changes in bowel function (diarrhea or constipation) for no apparent reason, more than six weeks.

* Weight loss for no apparent reason.

* The pain in the abdomen or the back.

* Stomach still felt full even after a bowel movement.

* Fatigue constant

* Sometimes the cancer can be a barrier in the large intestine that looks at some symptoms such as constipation, pain, and feeling bloated in the stomach.

To deal with colon cancer, according to Aru, surgical therapy is the most effective way, especially if done on the disease is still localized. However, when it happened metastases (spread), treatment becomes more difficult. However, with the development of chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the moment, allows people with advanced stage or in the case of recurrence for adjuvan therapy. Adjuvan therapy is chemotherapy given after surgery in patients with stage III cancer in order to kill remaining cancer cells.

At present, therapy can be done without adjuvan injection (IV), but with oral / tablets (Capacitabine). Capacitabine”is also an oral chemotherapy is safe and working up to the cancer cells,’’said Aru, who also serves as chairman of the Commission Adjuvan Therapy, Working Group on Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Indonesia.

Kick Colon Cancer
Prevent better than cure. It also applies to colon cancer. In order not to touch this deadly disease, prevention efforts do. Consider prevention tips from doctors Adil S Pasaribu KBD SpB following:

* Avoid foods high in fat, protein, calories, and red meat. Do not forget the consumption of calcium and folic acid.

* After undergoing adenoma polipektomi calcium supplementation is recommended.

* Also recommended supplementation of vitamin E, and D.

* Eating fruits and vegetables every day.

* Maintain a body mass index between 18.5 to 25.0 kg/m2 for life.

* Doing physical activity, such as brisk walking at least 30 minutes a day.

* Avoid smoking.

* Done immediately and polipektomi colonoscopy in patients found in the polyps.

* Apply early detection with a faint blood tests since the age of 40 years.

Disease of lung cancer is a form of development is very fast sell (abnormal) in lung tissue caused by changes in tissue form sell or expansion of sell themselves. If left this abnormal growth can be spread to other organs, both the near and distant lung such as bone, liver, or brain.

Disease of lung cancer is caused more by smoking (87%), while the remainder are caused by asbestos substances, radiation, arsenic, chromate, nickel, klorometil ethers, mustard gas and coke oven emission can cause lung cancer, although usually only occurs the workers who also smoked.

* Classification of Diseases Lung Cancer

There’s classification of the disease of lung cancer, is seen from the level of either the spread lung itself or to other organs. But basically a disease of lung cancer is divided into two levels of criteria based on their distribution:

1. Lung cancer primary
Has 2 main types, namely Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). SCLC is the kind of sell little (lot) which has its very rapid growth to grow. Usually called “oat cell carcinomas” (wheat cell carcinoma). This type is closely associated with smoking, handling good enough to respond through action chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

While the growth of NSCLC is the single sell, but often strike more than one area in the lungs. For example adenoma, and Kaposi Hamartoma kondromatous.

2. Secondary lung cancer
Lung cancer is a disease that arises as a result of the spread of cancer from other organs, most often breast cancer and colon cancer (stomach). Cancer spreads through the blood, lymphatic system, or due to closeness organs.

*Signs and Symptoms Diseases Lung Cancer

Signs and symptoms of lung cancer will only occur when the abnormal development of this sell more severe towards the more advanced stages, and this will take many years since the beginning of its development. In fact there is a possibility not to show any particular signs and symptoms, but only appeared if the X-ray done. But if some of the signs and symptoms below, if recognized, should immediately check with your doctor:

1. Coughing old people smoking
2. Difficulty breathing (shortness of breath)
3. Cough out blood (even though small amounts)
4. Frequent lung infections (pneumonia or bronchitis)
5. The presence of chest pain, shoulder and the back
6. The sound has changed from the usual
7. Cough more than 2 weeks in people who do not smoke
8. Others such as difficulty swallowing, neck and face appeared swollen, decreased appetite, weight loss, tired or weak.

* Cause Disease Lung Cancer

The biggest cause of smoking, while others are caused by contamination of the surrounding air by the substance of asbestos, air pollution by combustion or fumes including cigarette smoke. There are several cases of diseases that trigger disease lung cancer, namely tuberculosis and pneumonia. Both diseases can cause injury to the lung tissue that sell organs supports the occurrence of abnormal growth within the cavity sell it. Lung cancer usually develops from this case is the type of adenocarcinoma (adenoma).

* Treatment and Disease Lung Cancer Treatment

Handling and treatment or treatment performed on people who have diagnosed lung cancer will depend on the level stadiumnya, the possibility of the operation, and the general condition of the patient. This is not apart of history and the causes of the existence of lung cancer, of course.

Some typical steps are:

* Actions sell lift surgery cancer
* Actions Radiation Therapy
* Action Therapy Kemotherapy
* Actions injection (Photodynamic (PTD))

Providing Nutrition and supplements can reduce symptoms caused by lung cancer. Vitamin D and Fe is very nice to be given by the lung cancer patients, so it is with antioxidant foods such as blueberri, cherri, and tomatoes. Source: Lung Cancer Disease.
