Breast Cancer - Caurses, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment.

BREAST CANCER

Because of the social changes, which has brought increased number of workingwoman and hence delayed childbearing, there has been a steep rise in the number of breast cancer patients in the last few decades. But as the incidence of the patients has risen so has raised themodality of treatments and the success rates. Also scientists have devised methods by which the cancer can be detected in an early stage and it has been convincingly proved that early detection and treatment bears a better prognosis than the later stage.

Myths
There are many myths attached to breast cancer. Some think that any lump in breast is a breast
cancer but to the contrary most of them are benign. Similarly it was a popular belief earlier that breast-feeding decreases one’s risk of the cancer but that has been now found to be untrue. Some say that mammography makes the breast cancer widespread but it’s not true. Similarly there are many other myths, which need to be cleared in mind of the general mass for the proper detection and management of the tumor.

Early detection
Breast cancer can be detected in an early stage if women are taught to self-examine their breast. In case of detection of any breast lump or of any slightest suspicion, mammography should be done to rule out any tumor. Mammography is a good tool to diagnose this type of cancer.

Breast Cancer

Statistics
The incidence of breast cancer is increasing at an alarming rate. It is said that every 2-3 minutes one  woman is diagnosed a breast cancer.

Cause
Although the cause is not fully understood but it is hypothesized that there are various factors such as genetic and environmental. The environmental factors are increased age, obesity, smoking and having the first child at late age.

Diagnosis
The findings that denote a cancer are single, non-tender and firm to hard mass with ill-defined margins. This can be later confirmed by mammography and biopsy. After the cancer has been diagnosed staging is done to find out the best treatment option as well as the prognosis.


Management
The management of breast cancer rests basically on two things. The first is the treatment and second is the counseling. The treatment can further be divided into three: medical, radiation, and surgery. The medical treatment consists of drugs such as tamoxifen, which is an anti estrogen, aromatase inhibitors such as aminoglutethimide and monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab. But similar to other drugs they have their own side effects profile. The side effects associated with tamoxifen are increased vaginal bleeding, endometrial cancer and cataracts. The aromatase inhibitors have the side effects of leg cramps, jaundice and weight gain while the monoclonal antibodies may cause sterility or certain birth abnormalities.

Generally the radiation and surgery are the modalities, which are needed for the treatment to ward off the body of the cancerous growth.

Breast Cancer

Counseling
This is one of the most important parts of the treatment both before and after the surgery. The patients are to be taught that this is only another disease, which has treatment available, and persons can lead a normal life after that.

Latest research
Latest research is being done on both the surgery and the medicine. For the surgery, surgeons are trying to find out the best way of surgery so that post surgery the patients have minimal disabilities. Similar medicines with lesser side effects are being researched.

Breast Cancer, what you should know about Testing and Diagnosis

The chance, that breast cancer is found early, it is more likely to be treated successfully. Checking for cancer in a person who does not have any symptoms is called screening.

Screening -Tests for breast cancer include, among others, clinical breast exams and mammograms and there is a very important base in the health-service for women.
The doctor or other health care professional can check the breasts and underarms for lumps, during a clinical breast exam, which could be a sign of breast cancer.

""What is the “mammogram”?

“The mammogram is a special x-ray of the breast and that can often detect cancers that there are too small for a woman or her doctor to feel them. “

A lot of studies show's that mammography screening has reduced the number of deaths from breast cancer. But also, some other studies have not shown a clear benefit from mammography. So you can't get a 100% results!

But, to day there are no other ways to check out the breast cancer with a good percentage. Concerning that, the Scientists are continuing to examine the level of benefit that mammography can produce. The National Cancer Institute recommends the following:

• you are a woman in your 40s, you should have mammography screening every one to two years.

• you are a woman age 50 and older, you should have mammography screening every one to two years.

• If you are a woman who is at higher than average risk for breast cancer, you should seek expert medical advice about whether to begin screening before age 40 and how often to have screening mammography.

Breast Cancer

The results are between 5 and 10 percent of mammogram not normal and require more testing. The one good information - the most of these follow-up tests confirm that no cancer was present.

What will be this "more testing"? The doctor will call it a “Biopsy”. The procedure which is
needed is to take a small amount of fluid or tissue must remove from the breast to make a diagnosis. A doctor might perform fine needle aspiration, a needle or core Biopsy, or a surgical
Biopsy.

This tissue goes to in the lab, this tissue will be checked on the pathologist examines under the microscope and the results let him see if any of the cells are cancerous.

In the last time, the Doctors are studying another new type of surgical biopsy that removes less breast tissue. This new type is called an image-guided needle breast biopsy, or stereotactic biopsy.

With this new system - If approved for general use, we can await, that the result's are much more efficient and clearly, so that the doctors would become an important surgical tool.

The last technical review - With the magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, and ultrasound we
have two other techniques which the researchers think might detect breast cancer with greater accuracy and with lower risk!

Other new techniques used to find cancer include a new way of reading mammograms called digital mammography.

Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, and ultrasound are two other techniques which researchers think might detect breast cancer with greater accuracy.

Six Steps To Reduce The Risk Of  Breast Cancer

Make Money at Home - Learn the Secrets Before Starting...

To a lot of people, network Marketing seems an arduous task. But it doesn't have to be that
 way. Networking can be very rewarding and you can have fun while learning how to make
 money at home.
 Advertising can be accomplished in many different ways. Car stickers to sign posts and beer mats have been used consistently. Business cards conveniently placed in Hotels, Taxi Ranks,
 Airport departure lounges and hundreds of other suitable venues have produced good results. Making money online doesn't have to be pursued online.


 To make money on the Internet, you just have to communicate through all the known mediums available. Be proud of what you represent and make sure that others know you are proud of
 your business. If you aren't proud of it, then go find something else that you can be proud of representing.
 You do not need a highly priced business to make money on the internet. In fact, the lower the price, the more interest your business will receive.
 Now this is where people go astray ... Network Marketing is about leverage. It is not about
 signing up thousands of people in your first week. It's about finding just a few people who find a few people ... and so on.
 Remember, the drop out rate for highly priced businesses are substantially more than for the
 lower priced options. Affordability is a key factor in retaining your associates and your associates are the key factors that allow you to make money at home. Looking after, supporting and mentoring those associates should be your prime purpose in life. They are the people who will ensure your success.


 In some businesses, you will not find any support whatsoever. Those are the ones to avoid.
 Also take a look and see if there is a good marketing system in place. If there isn't, you could run up a sizeable bill in marketing your business with external resources.
 Remember, the whole point in starting and maintaining your business is to make money, not to spend it on resources that should have come with the business model.
 While automation plays a part in todays marketing environment, it is the personal touches that
 make the sale. That follow up phone call to say hello, makes a whole lot of difference between success and failure.
 To make money online, you have to communicate with those who have taken an interest in your business and you have to assure them that you are the person they need as a sponsor. Are youthat dependable person? 

I Make Money Online. You Can Too

When I purchased my first computer over 10 years ago, I knew I wanted to put it to work and make money with it some how. But I knew nothing about computers or the Internet. I knew
 nothing about network marketing, search engine marketing, or even how to create my own web site. I knew nothing about e-mail marketing e-mail leads or how to set up an e-mail list.


 I began searching the Internet for ideas. I quickly learned that you could join several affiliate
 programs and they would supply you with a free affiliate web page. Unfortunately getting good quality traffic to these affiliate web pages was somewhat of a challenge. And the Major search engines wouldn’t even list my new affiliate web pages. So once again I was left searching the Internet for ideas.
 I kept reading over and over again to get your own domain name and create your own web site.
 Then incorporate all your affiliate links into your new web site. Create a theme and join affiliate programs related to that theme. But I knew nothing about creating a web site. And what the
 heck is HTML?
 I began creating web pages on Microsoft publisher. These were very simple pages and now when I look back at them I have to laugh. They were anything but professional and publisher
 actually made many errors in the HTML code. But this was all just part of the learning curve. You have to learn to walk before you run.


 Eventually I started writing my own HTML using Microsoft word and saving it as a simple HTML text file. To this day all my web page’s are created using word.
 Since starting my online business I have probably joined 100s of affiliate program opportunities, re-modeled my web page over 50 times and spend more than 4 hours a day reading and learning how to further promote my sites to make more money. All this was done on my own
 with little to no training from others.
 When I started I knew nothing and now my business is getting between 5-10 commission checks in the mail every month generated from sales or leads coming from my 6 web sites.
 I get people that say to me all the time. I cannot do that on my own. Well if I can do it you can too. It just takes a little patients and the will to learn. If you want to make money online you need to act. You need to search for information and read all about how to create your own web site.
 Then you need to search for information on how to promote, advertise, and most of all how to get good search engine rankings.

How to start a home business.

Do you know that it’s possible for a housewife or a ‘one-man-show’ around the world to start a home business for full time income?
 It’s possible. And I'm going to tell you what you need and how to do it.
 First you need to get an extra phone line, fax and a computer in your home. This should be different from your existing home phone line or computer. That was easy to get started, wasn't it?
 The secret to start a home business quick and profitable is to be a ‘middle man’ between the
 prospects and the products or services they are looking for. It’s that simple! Of course you can create your own products or services to sell, but why go through the hassle in the early stages


 of getting started? By being the ‘middle man’, you can get started immediately.
 Then, you have to determine whether you want to be a ‘middle man’ for a product or service oriented business. Both will give you the same benefits. Even if it’s product oriented, you are not
 be producing it. You are just merely getting it from someone and passing it to the customer. Therefore, you should not have any inventory. However, I’ll prefer to be involved in service oriented home business because it’s less ‘sticky’. Products may have more issues such as delivery, order fulfillment, product return and so on.
 Here are 3 ways you can immediately start a home business by being a ‘middle man’ for a
 service oriented home business:
 1. Human Resource ‘Department’
 Do you know that many companies are hiring and many people are looking for a job? This is
 one of the best opportunities that you can get started immediately. It’s low cost, almost zero in cost. Go to all the offices and factories in your city and tell the human resource
 manager/department that you want to help them find reliable staff. They will have a list of vacancies. Get all the details. Compile it and start announcing to the public what vacancies you have to offer! You can make money from either the company or anyone who gets a job from your help. You decide how much commission you want. If the company already has their own
 commission scheme, you can just earn from there.
 2. Real Estate
 You'd be surprised that many people are actually buying houses each day. And many people are selling houses as well! Don't believe me? Go to your local real estate dealer’s office and you'll see there are plenty of requests from people wanting to buy or sell houses. You can just be a ‘middle man’ to get the deal. In fact, all real estate agents are ‘middle men’ in reality. You can just tie up with a few real estate agents and negotiate for a commission from them if you help them to get the houses their customers are looking for, or to help their customers to sell off
 their house.
 A few deals a month will land you in big commission checks because houses price can vary from $50,000.00 to $5,000,000.00! However, you do want to set a certain criteria of amount that
 you will not participate. Example, you might not do any deals below $25,000.00 (or whatever figure you choose) because you'll need to put in the same effort and yet the return is too minimal.
 3. Seminar business


 Do you see seminars conducted in your city or state? It can be any type of seminars. Doesn't matter what seminar it is. Pick up your phone and call the seminar organizers. Tell them you'll
 find participants to fit in their room and ask them how much commission they are willing to pay
 you per head. If the company is smart, they'll pay you good commission because they no longer need to invest their money in advertising. And secondly, they cannot lose because they are paying you for results only.
 Once you have experience of it, you may even consider engaging your own speaker one day and organize it. This can be your quarter year project for quick, instant cash.
 There are so many other ways to start a successful home business. I've not even covered on how to start a home business by using the internet.

 So don't give excuses for yourself that it’s too much work, you need a lot of money to get started, and so on. Those are all excuses you create for yourself because of unconscious fear of failure. Or your own limiting beliefs.
 It’s your life. It’s your decision. Sit on it, and there is no way you can expect to start a home
 business. Start it today, and maybe you'll start making money in a few months and generate a full time income in a year or 6 months.

How To Avoid Fraud, Deceit & Scams!

The world is full of people who feel they can take advantage of others to obtain their goals in
 life. Fraud, Deceit & Scams happen in the real world every day. Just tune into your local news to
 hear about them. But, Fraud, Deceit & Scams also happen in the virtual world as well. And, unfortunately they often hit those who can lease afford the losses.

 Online we are always inundated with "get rich quick schemes" and their claims of "overnight
 success". If you're like me you find this kind of s.p.a.m clogging up your email box on a daily bases. They tell us how easy it is. How we can just sit back and relax, do nothing all day long and still make a roll full of money. Hell, we might as well go golfing because we'll be making money hand over fist while on the golf course. :-| Now while sitting back and watching the
 money roll in would definitely be nice, reality is, rarely does any get rich quick scheme ever
 work. The promises of millions never pan out no matter how hard you try.

The problem here is that so many people want and need to make more money. And they want
 to make that money as quickly as they can. So they believe, or hope that what the scammer is telling them will be true. But understand this, even the greatest, largest companies in the world took time and work to build. Martha Stewart for example will tell you that she started her business in the basement of her house. And look where that business is today. A multi billion
 dollar a year corporation. While we all can't be Martha Stewart or Donald Trump  we can have our own successful home based business if we just stay away from the scams.

So, how do we spot the scams? Well, if you are serious about operating your own home based
 business there are things you can watch out for. Sort of the red flags of the business opportunity world. Let's have a look at some now.

 - Charging you for information about their business opportunity.
It's pretty plain and simple. A so called business opportunity tells you all you have to do is go to your mail box pick up the checks and cash them, but first you must send them a check to get the information on how this is done.

Can You Really "Strike Gold" Online?

I guess human nature leads us to this about every 30 - 50 years.
 As a history major, I studied the gold rush of 1849, the 19th century oil booms, the stock market hustles of the late 1920's, the get rich-quick mail order schemes of the 1950's and 60's and now
 the "Internet" gold rush of the late 1990's and early 21st century.

 When people perceive someone else getting rich with little or no effort, they jump on the band wagon seeking fame and fortune.
 In reality, in any "gold rush," the ones who really get rich represent the exception.
 Unfortunately, people perceive those "exceptions" as the rule, rather than the special cases they actually represent.



But, if you're bound and determined that you can be one of the "chosen few" who get rich online, the following tips will save you years of frustration.

** Little Oil Wells **
Don't try to get rich online with one gold or oil "strike!"
 Most people I know who do very well online operate multiple websites targeting multiple niche markets.
They sell many products and make their money by creating multiple streams of income rather
 than depending on a single website to stake their claim for online riches.

** Solve Problems **
People go online to solve problems.
 Whether they need to improve their job interview skills or find a winter coat and hat for their Chihuahua, they want to find products or knowledge they don't currently possess.
 The more pressing the problem, the easier and faster these people will buy.
 The easiest way to make a fortune online involves finding the most severe problems you can and charging for the solutions.

** Sweat, Not Money **
Most people want to throw money at a problem and hope that will get them what they desire.
 This fact keeps the "get-rich-quick" schemers in business.
However, the best way to make money online involves getting your hands dirty, learning a market inside and out, discovering what they want to buy and why, and then selling it to them.
 Contrary to popular belief, throwing money at a problem often won't solve it.

** Don't Compete **
The fastest way to make a fortune online involves persuading other people to sell your product or service for you as an affiliate.
 However, nobody sells a product or service for someone they perceive as "competition."
 You must position your product or service in such a way that others will eagerly promote it for you because they see you as someone who complements what they already offer.

 ** Wants vs. Needs **
Circus and publicity guru, P.T. Barnum, expressed it best, "People will spend their last nickel to
 have fun!"
 People always find a way to buy what they want, but often avoid spending on what they need.

 ** The Underwear Myth **
The "make money in your underwear at the kitchen table working only 1 or 2 hours a day" represents the biggest crock of !@#$% ever foisted on the public.
 Anyone I know who makes a lot of money at anything, busts their buns to get their projects off the ground.
 Once they get a business up and running, it might only take a couple of hours a day or week to keep it running, but they worked their fingers to the bone to get things rolling.
 And the real secret to their success: they repeat the process over and over again!

Can You Really Make Money with Surf for Cash Programs?

This article will focus on the Spedia Surf for Cash Program.
 I first came across spedia.net from my Alexa Toolbar as a result of visiting another non related site. I was looking for programs to promote and spedia sounded good on the outside and I
 almost signed up in order to refer others into the program.



 It all sounded too good to be true. The 5 level deep payout structure would ensure a decent income after some heavy promoting but my intuition told me to do a quick search for the term
 "spedia scam" and see if there was any negative spedia information around. The results speak for themselves.
 An abundance of warnings and people's negative experiences with spedia. The most common
 complaints seem to be that they don't pay. Other complains include system crashes and spam if you cancel your account.

You must agree to these terms in order to participate in the Spedia Surf for Cash Program. It is a very interesting page. Especially clause
 #16 whereby you agree not to participate in a Class Action Law Suit against Spedia but you are
 "allowed" to make a claim as an individual.
 Personally, I cannot see any one person taking Spedia to court for 30 bucks which they did not
 pay. If you cannot participate in a Class Action whereby thousands of individuals can make a claim with one court case and with one attorney, what chance have you got to get your money?
 Spedia and Surf+ Scumware
 It seems that by downloading and installing the spediabar, you are also installing a Scumware program called Surf+. This is not a good thing. The Surf+ Scumware has the ability to change plain text words on any web page into hyperlinks. These hyperlinks are inserted without the permission of the webmaster in order to hijack you onto another site.

 Certain Spyware and Scumware programs will require special attention to be removed from your system because they cannot be removed by the regular add/remove programs method. If
 your computer has been infected with the Surf+ virus, you will need instructions to remove all
invisible components from your system.

 A Better Way to Make Money Online
 It seems that even IF you find a legitimate Surf for Cash program, it will take ages to get even a $30 payout. I still think it is much easier to sell either your own products or other people's products and services via an affiliate program. To do this you will need your own website, register your own domain name, select a web hosting company and learn how to get traffic to your site.

Are You Wasting Time
 It's time to ask yourself, "Am I wasting time on the Internet?" and "Does it really serve me to do what I am doing?".
 If we are doing the same old things and not getting the desired results, it may be time to shift our thinking and open up to new ideas, or do some of the stuff we know we "should" do but
 have been to lazy to do it.
