In the last six years the incidence of breast cancer increased by 13 percent but thanks to early diagnosis and innovative therapies also increase the prospects of recovery and survival, which can be up to 5 years to 98 percent.
The other good news is that patients benefit from a quality of life better and better, thanks to the latest therapies such as those that rely on sophisticated technology platforms and leverage innovative mechanisms of action. One of these is nabTM paclitaxel, the first nano-target chemotherapy for patients with advanced breast cancer, using albumin as a carrier naturally carries the active ingredient directly into the tumor cells, increasing overall survival compared to chemotherapy and significantly reducing side effects. As explained by Paul Marchetti, Director of Operations Complex Medical Oncology at the Hospital St. Andrew in Rome, “nabTM paclitaxel uses a highly innovative and targeted chemotherapy can significantly improve both the efficacy and tolerability in patients receiving therapy.
The technology that underlies nabTM paclitaxel allows the transmission of high concentrations of the drug within the tumor mass, without such an increase might affect the quality of life of patients. The complex nabTM paclitaxel compared to paclitaxel dissolved in a solvent, has been shown to be more effective in the prolongation of life, both with respect to progression of the disease both in terms of overall survival. ” Combining effectiveness of therapies and quality of life is the new challenge at this stage of the fight against breast cancer, especially for women who are at an advanced stage of the tumor and which therapies aim to offer not only “years to live” but “years to live.” And the quality of life can be further improved through diet, with the choice of foods considered true allies of therapies. Some foods, like fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A, as well as prevent cancer, reduce the risk of relapse in patients operated on and limit the side effects of therapies.

Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer
There are several ways you can do this for the treatment of cancer with radiation therapy that uses high energy X-rays to destroy cancer cells. You may receive radiation treatment before or after cancer surgery performed. Your doctor will recommend a combination of radiation and chemotherapy treatment if your cancer can not be treated surgically.
Chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells but also damage some normal cells. This can result in side effects, which depend on the type of drug, amount taken, and duration of treatment. Short-term side effects can include nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, hair loss and mouth sores. Because chemotherapy can damage the bone marrow, where new blood cells are made, the blood cell counts may be low.
Operation
Pancreatic cancer surgery is one of the most difficult operation for the surgeon and patient. Surgery causes complications and may take several weeks for patients to recover.
There are two types of operations that are used for pancreatic cancer:
1. Curative surgery when it looks like it is possible to remove all the cancer.
2. Palliative surgery may be done if tests show that the tumor is too large to be completely removed. In this case, surgery is performed to relieve symptoms or to prevent blockage of the bile duct or colon cancer.
Research has shown that palliative surgery did not help most patients to live longer. Read the rest of this entry »

Diagnosing Pancreatic Cancer
To diagnose pancreatic cancer, doctors perform a complete physical examination and ask medical history private patients and families. In addition to the signs of general health (temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and so on), the doctor usually orders blood tests, urine, and feces. The doctor may also ask for a “series of barium swallow”, or “series of the upper gastrointestinal tract (upper GI)”. For this test, the patient drinks a barium solution before performing x-rays of the upper digestive system taken. Barium pancreas chart shows the x-rays.
Other tests may be ordered, such as:
• An angiogram, a special x-ray of blood vessels.
• CT scans, x-rays which give detailed pictures of cross section of the pancreas. Picture-gamar was created by a computer.
• transabdominal ultrasound to see the pancreas. In this procedure, a device that sends sound waves of high frequency, which can not be heard, is passed over the abdomen. The sound waves echo behind the pancreas. Echoes form a picture on a screen that looks like a television.
• ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram), is a special x-ray of the common bile duct. For this test, a long flexible tube (endoscope) is inserted through the patient’s esophagus through the stomach into the small intestine. A dye is injected into the common bile duct (common bile duct), and x-rays taken. Doctors can also look through the endoscope and taking tissue samples. Read the rest of this entry »

Allegations of some medical experts is evident when a few years later the condition deteriorated Jobs accompanied by weight loss and skin turn yellow. In January 2009, Jobs said that they experienced only a hormonal imbalance.
A few weeks later, he reportedly underwent liver transplantation. When undergoing the transplant is actually a bad sign that the conditions for pancreatic cancer Jobs had not yet finished.
