Why cancer is categorized by body part?
Cancer is cancer. Overloading cells grow in the human body causing damage and death. So I wonder why people in health have to break this condition by the body and brain cancer cancer separately breast and prostate cancer. Everything is the same disease, only grows in a different part of the body. Perhaps to make money advertising promotion starts finger cancer and cancer of the eye next. Please give me a break! The radiation apparently kills cells, but that could have harmful side effects so it is probably better to learn early how to eat healthy to avoid cancer altogether waiting to see what triggers it. That would be better than having doctors specialize in a particular body part instead of understanding the body as a whole and how everything works together. Weird how people are excited about the technological advances however, still barely understand the human body.
I like the answer "jack99sk .." The simple answer is this – the cancer in different parts the body behave differently. There are hundreds of different diseases, so called "cancer." We have over 100 different chemotherapy drugs now. Some work for a type of cancer and not another. It is much more complicated than many people think. And we're learning about the nature of different malignant tumors at the molecular level / Genetic level. Just read the medical oncology literature now includes more than molecular biology. Look at these facts: The 2008 survival data from five years of the American Cancer Society [Note that the five-year survival does not necessarily mean "cure".] All sites of breast cancer 66% Colon 89% 50% 65% leukemia lung cancer Melanoma 16% 92% NHL, 64% of ovarian 45% of pancreatic Prostate% 5 99% 66% Straight bladder 81% Note that the majority are cured with surgery yet – not by chemotherapy. So, why cancer Pancreas has a 5% survival for lung cancer five years 16% survival in case of testicular cancer that has spread to distant sites are cured now? (For example, Lance Armstrong's testicular cancer spread to his brain and lungs much.) Is because they behave differently. Cancer is not a disease. Cancer is not only cancer, as you say. Cancer is a general term for hundreds of diseases as different as the infection period is a general term for many hundreds of different diseases caused by microbial organisms very different. I'm sure you realize the differences between viral, bacterial, fungal and protozoa. Cancers are likewise multi-variant behavior. Hell, no two people with breast cancer are exactly alike. There are at least 75 subtypes lymphoma have been identified so far. I like to find common denominators and simplify things wherever possible, but no simplification of the myriad expressions malignant disease among humans. Yes, they all share the overgrowth of cell clones that have lost the ability to know when to stop dividing, but they There are many variations to the bio-molecular level. "cancers finger" might be sarcomas of bone, muscle sarcomas, vascular tumors, or tumors of the skin – all very different diseases. Our treatments are much more nonspecific disease. That is because they are still very raw – and radiation chemical nonspecific cytotoxic systemic therapies. Fifty years from now doctors mock oil therapies we use today – as well as some Today doctors scoff at the lack of effective treatments in 1959 malignant neoplasms. But to ask Lance Armstrong how he feels about modern generalized systemic therapy of "cancer." You're absolutely right about prevention. At least 31% of all cancer deaths in the U.S. could be prevented if people do not smoke cigarettes. In fact, it's much better to prevent cancer – especially one caused by carcinogens of snuff – instead of trying to treat successfully. Why are snuff causes cancer of the mouth, throat, larynx, esophagus, lung and bladder as resistant to almost all of our many chemotherapy drugs? Because they have characteristics different testicular cancers, lymphomas, breast cancers, etc. Wow – good response "Midnight" Indeed, we have a terminology cancer specialist designations only part of the body, but the average non-medical people do not know what we were talking about whether these terms are used only histopathological techniques.
