Tumores and Myths to Fall Down

No tumor-like disease is subject to myth and faith. “Several years ago the American Cancer Society conducted a study of fake cancer news to see how widespread they were”, says Paolo Vineis, head of the research unit in epidemiology and molecular genetics at the Human Genetics Foundation ( Torino.

The results are shocking: one in four respondents think that it is not necessary to change their lifestyle at a new age to prevent the disease, three out of ten people are convinced that mobile phones cause cancer (even if it is still a very controversial matter and the subject of study, for which there is no final scientific evidence) “.

COMPLOTIS THORITS. Wrong beliefs may also lead individuals to behave negatively about health: for example, the belief that cancer can lead to the spread of mountain cells, or that radio therapy is more dangerous than disease itself, can stimulate the person to refuse treatment that represents his/her opportunity for salvation.

The American Cancer Association also reports that 28% of respondents believe there is already a final cure for cancer, but for some reason kept hidden.

Let's make some clarification about the expression “states that...” regarding tumors:

1. PJ THE GREAT ESA E People whom KANCER KANA A FAMILY T E T YRE T I know.

Most tumors are not inherited. Only one percentage between 5% and 8% is hereditary. Confusion comes from the fact that cancer is often said to be a “genetic disease”. However, a gene disease is not a hereditary disease: genes can really change in adulthood and inherit in a certain form from parents. And it's important to remember that inheriting a shitty gene that increases the risk of cancer does not necessarily mean developing cancer in life.

2. AFTER V ITES THAT PIN I'm afraid you're in love. DHAH IS E PADOBUSED

Because studies show that although the danger is not completely clear, the chances of contracting lung cancer are reduced when you stop smoking and 10 years after the last cigarette risk of death by cancer are about half compared to that of a smoker. And even the risk of cancer affecting other tobacco - related organs (many tumours on the head, bladders, liver, kidneys, helmets, ovaries, stomachs, and so forth) decrease progressively as time grows without smoking. Every extra cigarette increases the risk, so whenever someone decides to quit smoking, they'll always win something.

3. T Um... KEYER THE FOOD OF FOOD FIZIK E. TRUE

Some types of tumors are sensitive to the effects of movement, which reduces their account: direct relationships have been demonstrated for colon cancer, endometry, and breast, while for others, such as prostate cancer, data is not yet enough to produce final concussions. Although the mechanism with which physical activity exercises an antitomoral action has not been fully understood for certain tumors, those playing sports games become less sick than those who are sedentary because the movement causes the production of protective substances and reduces body inflammation levels and the concentration of pro-canzerogenic substances (such as certain female hormones or insulin). We don't know what age it's best to start, but that's only for cancer: exercise and movement, in fact, are useful for preventing cardiovascular diseases and avoiding osteoporosis. To that end, the sooner you start with movement and exercise, the better.

4. NO WHAT PEOPLE SAY WHEN IT IS IT There's a PRECH RISK IN THE THREAT FROM CNCERIA IN THE MINOR AGENCE

Because many of the lifestyles acquired during childhood or adolescence have a major impact on the risk of contracting cancer at the age of three. Just think of the importance of proper nutrition or smoking (a custom often acquired in adolescence). You can always correct incorrect behavior, but even if you do not engage in such misconduct, it is the best prevention strategy.

In this area, educators (parents, teachers) play an essential role, they should be an example: It is unnecessary to insist on not smoking if parents feel a pack of cigarettes a day.

5. GAT ICE With MIKROVAL PROVOKON GREAT

There is no connection between these two factors. microwave ovens, such as radio, release electromagnetic fields with radio frequency. Several studies have been conducted and no health risks have been proved. On the other hand, microwaves are protected by scheme: only very old, damaged or not properly closed devices can potentially be dangerous (because they heat the tissues), but only if we stay in the vicinity long while operating.

6. TENSION'S LINES SUCCESS OF TUMA INFANTILE -AS TRUE And ASS RUST

There is still no scientific security in this area. This uncertainty is largely due to the fact that it is not easy to do research to prove a cause relationship between high - frequency electromagnetic fields, which are created by energy lines, as well as the development of certain types of childhood cancers (especially leukemia), and research results are often contradictory.

Based on full analysis of available data, the International Agency for Cancer Research (The International Agency for Cancer Research), I The ARC) concluded, however, that the electromagnetic fields created by high-tensity pillars be classified as possible neurox0 cancerogenic for man.

“Possibly carcinogenic for people” is the category by lower and low among three categories (” for people “, ”, possibly cancerous for people “,” potentially cancergenous for people “classification used by IARC to classify scientific evidence for environmental agents. The IARC conclusions were later reinforced by those received by the World Health Organization, which carried out its assessment of available scientific data.

And possibly cancerous for people” is a classification used to show an agent for which there is limited evidence of human cancer and less than sufficient evidence in experimental animals.

Classification is based on the stability of available scientific evidence, not on how high the danger is. Today, the situation has not been clarified, but experts say that if the relationship existed, it would cover only a very small percentage of children (between 1% and 4% of those exposed to the highest level), while there would be no significant increase in risk for children exposed to low level electromagnetic fields, for which most of us are exposed.

7. GODITS AND TRUMS CAN T EXPLAIN TUMOR CEWN

There was an ancient belief that had support among doctors in the early 20th century. The opposite may be true: A tumor can make a part of the body vulnerable to accidents (such as bone tumors). At times, a random medical examination to deal with a minor trauma may lead to suspicious swelling. People pay more attention to a painful part of their body - the impact does not cause the tumor, it reveals a tumor already there.

8. PI THE WALK IN THE MUSCHER IS MEANING THE RISK OF LIFE WRITER IN A City T Um... E P ISH GUARD

Air pollution causes many lung diseases (astma, chronic bronze), including lung cancer, but tobacco tumors are far more common than they are because of pollution. Pollution increases lung inflammation, which can promote a tumor on predisposed people. Among them are undoubtedly smokers, who add cancerous effect to the negative effect of inflammation itself.

9. SO T It's all right. SEUNDAY With TUMOR CHAAS TRUE and RUBED

Because if some cancers, such as breast cancer in females, are on the rise, others, such as cervical or stomach, have fallen. Numberically, there are more tumors, but this is due to the fact that the average age of the population has increased and that cancer affects the number of ages. Moreover, improving diagnostic skills allows for more tumors, which are more frequent than once but on the other hand, mortality due to this disease has decreased.

10. MI SUFFECTS IN ZARE ♪ TRUE

Although the exact demonstration was only taken by animals. On the other hand, there is a quantitative danger only if you eat grilled meat (and especially cooked meat in coal pans) at least once a day.

The main causes for increased risk are heterocicic ammines and speltic hydrocarbons, chemicals resulting from the transformation of meat proteins subject to high temperatures. However, we should remember that other cooking methods are not safe - for example, French foods generally contain more fat and are thus harmful to heart and blood vessels.

The most accurate strategy is to taste the lotion as often as possible, but to make it carefully cooking, perhaps avoiding the possibility of consuming the fat parts that are more dangerous and to choose less fat like chicken, taking care to eliminate its skin during the consumption of this meat.

11. CIRURGIAL RUTH PER T E ♪ E FAVORIZED THE TUMORATH CHABUED

This is a false belief dating back to the early 20th century, when many interventions to remove tumors were carried out when in reality the patient had reached the creation of metastases in his body. The fact that a new tumor appeared after the intervention in another organ created this belief. Furthermore, it is possible that, in part, by removing a tumor, some remaining cells in the country may cause metastase, but this phenomenon has become rare with the development of modern surgical techniques and especially diagnostic devices such as PET Scanner, which are able to also identify some cell tumors. Furthermore, to eliminate sick “cells “, we now have radio therapy and other strategies more or less “legitimate”.

12. I can't help it. TRUE

However, the frequency that this happens to is far lower than the risk of death by a tumor present in the organism treated in an unacquacy. Radio therapy, which consists of x-ray emissions towards tumoral cells, to destroy them can also trigger genetic mutations in healthy cells. Most of these DNA damage is repaired by cells themselves in a short time. As with many medical practices, we consider using a treatment in light of balance between risks and benefits, and there is no doubt that when a doctor suggests radio therapy, the benefits are far greater than possible risks.
