-Tommy park

The basic idea is the Secondhand smoke kills people who don't smoke, and makes others sick. Most nonsmokers have been shown to increase their risk of lung cancer.

More than 10% of pregnant women smoke. Also Pregnant teens(about ages 15 to170) smoke at the highest rate, with more than 20% smoking in the past month, (by American Cancer Society).

Effects-Babies born to smokers

- Lung cancer

- have a slightly higher risk of heart defects

- cleft lip or palate

"-those who smoke during and after pregnancy are 3 to 4 times  more likely to die from sudden infant death syndrome than babies born to non-smoking mothers" -American Cancer Society

* If women have mood disorders such as depression, then the women might find it much harder to quit smoking

- If a baby is born, nicotine and other bad substances in tobacco smoke can affect to mom such as passes on through breast milk, and that affects to baby.

Secondhand smoke can also affect to their children(an asthma attack), "make asthma symptoms worse, and even cause new cases of asthma in kids who had not shown symptoms before. "

" More than 40% of children who go to the emergency room for asthma live with smokers. A severe asthma attack can be deadly. "

Please be safe for your child
Don't smoke

Period 7

Mrs. Flowers

First, the members of a surgeon team depends on the stage and type of cancer a child is suffering from. Children who have been diagnosed as cancer are primarily members of the Children’s Oncology Group (COG), a group that “conducts a spectrum of clinical and translational research trials for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer”. Moreover, due to the fact that cancers in childhood in particular have to be treated cautiously, the treatment includes not only nurses and doctors, but also many professionals. They include:

1. Pediatric oncologists: doctors who specialize in using medicines to treat children with cancer

2. Pediatric surgeons: doctors who specialize in performing surgery in children

3. Radiation oncologists: doctors who specialize in using radiation to treat cancer

4. Pediatric oncology nurses: nurses who specialize in caring for children with cancer

5. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants: nurses and other professionals who are specially trained and licensed to practice medicine alongside doctors

Similarly, the options of treatments vary on the type and extent of the cancer. They include:

1. Surgery - Goal - removal of the entire tumor & margin

- In order to flawlessly remove the tumor, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other treatments are needed

2. Chemotherapy - Usage of drugs to kill cancer cells

- Given by mouth / through the bloodstream

- Side effects : fatigue, increased risk of infection, increased risk of bleeding, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, and diarrhea
3. Radiation Therapy : - Usage of x-rays to kill cancer cells

- ex) external-beam radiation therapy

- consists of a specific number of treatments given over a set period of time

4. Immunotherapy : - Confer the body immunity to fight against the cancer

- ex) cancer vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and interferons

5. Stem cell transplantation/bone marrow transplantation : - diseased bone marrow is replaced by highly specialized cells, called hematopoietic stem cells

- 2 types of s.c.t

1) allogeneic (ALLO)

2) autologous (AUTO)

6. Palliative/supportive care : - Reliving person’s symptoms & side effects

Treatment of Child Cancer

Child cancer should be getting much more attention. While the average number of years of life lost to cancer amounts to 15 for adults, its 71 years for children. National Cancer Institute had a total budget of $4.8 billion for fiscal year 2013(3). However, childhood cancers only received only 4% of U.S. federal funding for cancer research(3). The drug development funding from pharmaceutical companies are all towards adult cancer, but almost none for child cancer(3). The focus on child cancer should not be neglected if not focused on. Children are our future as the human race and its crucial for us to remember this fact.

In one of the most well-known forms of treatment, chemotherapy, it is easier to treat child cancer because most of their cancer cells tend to grow faster, which makes chemotherapy much easier. Children also recover much faster than adults from a high dose of chemotherapy(5). Other than chemotherapy, there are various treatments available to cancer patients. First of all there is the surgery, which removes the tumor(4). This is an easy choice of a benign cancer. There is also radiotherapy, the use of radiation to destroy cancer cells. It is used to ease pain, before surgery in order to shrink the size of the tumor or after surgery to kill of any remaining cancer cells(1). Another is stem cell and bone marrow transplants, this type of treatment is especially used in leukemia, a type of cancer especially prevalent in children. Finally, there is immunotherapy, taking specific drugs in order to target particular cancer cells(4). This type of treatment represents important progress in cancer research. In a different approach, immunotherapy helps the immune system recognize cancer cells as non-self instead of self.

Additionally, there are countless other ways being researched. For example, new cancer treatment drug is undergoing trials in Australia. Called TR100, it forces the cancer cells to self-destruct by destroying the two tropomyosins which are crucial in cell reproduction(2).

Eric.Kang Types of common cancer among children and common causes about cancer 

# data[].attributes.body
Unlike adults, there are no lifestyle-related risk factors (such as smoking and drinking) that are known to influence a child’s risk of getting cancer.

Most childhood cancer are caused by overweight and genetic problems.

Types of common cancer among children

1. Leukemia

2. Neuroblastoma

3. Lymphoma

4. Bone cancers

5. Retinoblastoma

Leukemia: This is the most common childhood cancer. It takes 31% among all children. It is cancers of the bone marrow and blood.

Neuroblastoma: This cancer only occurs to infants which usually occurs under the age of 10. This causes bone pain and fever.

Lymphoma: These cancers start in certain cells of the immune system called lymphocytes. There are two types of Lymphoma Hodgkin lymphoma, and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Bone cancer: Primary bone cancers occur most often in older children and teens, but they can develop at any age. They account for about 4% of childhood cancers.

Retinoblastoma: This is the cancer of eyes. This accounts 3% of childhood cancer. Pupil often looks white or pink.

These signs can be a warning or starting for the cancer.

An unusual lump or swelling

Unexplained paleness and loss of energy

Easy bruising

An ongoing pain in one area of the body

Limping

Unexplained fever or illness that doesn’t go away

Frequent headaches, often with vomiting

Sudden eye or vision changes

Sudden unexplained weight loss

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The types of cancers that occur most often in children are different from those seen in adults. The most common cancers of children are:

Leukemia

Brain and spinal cord tumors

Neuroblastoma

Wilms tumor

Lymphoma (including both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin)

Rhabdomyosarcoma

Retinoblastoma

Bone cancer (including osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma)

Other types of cancers are rare in children, but they do happen sometimes. In very rare cases, children may even develop cancers that are much more common in adults.

Leukemia

Leukemias, which are cancers of the bone marrow and blood, are the most common childhood cancers. They account for about 30% of all cancers in children. The most common types in children are acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). These leukemias can cause bone and joint pain, fatigue, weakness, pale skin, bleeding or bruising, fever, weight loss, and other symptoms. Acute leukemias can grow quickly, so they need to be treated (typically with chemotherapy) as soon as they are found.

For more information see Leukemia in Children.

Brain and spinal cord tumors

Brain and central nervous system tumors are the second most common cancers in children, making up about 26% of childhood cancers. There are many types of brain tumors, and the treatment and outlook for each is different.

Most brain tumors in children start in the lower parts of the brain, such as the cerebellum or brain stem. They can cause headaches, nausea, vomiting, blurred or double vision, dizziness, seizures, trouble walking or handling objects, and other symptoms. Adults are more likely to develop tumors in upper parts of the brain. Spinal cord tumors are less common than brain tumors in both children and adults.

For more information see Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors in Children.

Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma starts in early forms of nerve cells found in a developing embryo or fetus. About 6% of childhood cancers are neuroblastomas. This type of cancer develops in infants and young children. It is rarely found in children older than 10. The tumor can start anywhere but usually starts in the belly (abdomen) where it is noticed as swelling. It can also cause bone pain and fever.

For more information see Neuroblastoma.

Wilms tumor

Wilms tumor (also called nephroblastoma) starts in one, or rarely, both kidneys. It is most often found in children about 3 to 4 years old, and is uncommon in children older than age 6. It can show up as a swelling or lump in the belly (abdomen). Sometimes the child might have other symptoms, like fever, pain, nausea, or poor appetite. Wilms tumor accounts for about 5% of childhood cancers.

For more information see Wilms Tumor.

Lymphomas

Lymphomas start in immune system cells called lymphocytes. They most often start in lymph nodes and other lymph tissues, like the tonsils or thymus. These cancers can also affect the bone marrow and other organs. Symptoms depend on where the cancer is and can include weight loss, fever, sweats, tiredness (fatigue), and lumps (swollen lymph nodes) under the skin in the neck, armpit, or groin.

The 2 main types of lymphoma are Hodgkin lymphoma (sometimes called Hodgkin disease) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Both types occur in children and adults.

Hodgkin lymphoma accounts for about 3% of childhood cancers. It is more common, though, in early adulthood (age 15 to 40, usually people in their 20s) and late adulthood (after age 55). Hodgkin lymphoma is rare in children younger than 5 years of age. This type of cancer is very similar in children and adults, including which types of treatment work best.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma makes up about 5% of childhood cancers. It is more likely to occur in younger children than Hodgkin lymphoma, but it is still rare in children younger than 3. The most common types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children are different from those in adults. These cancers often grow quickly and require intensive treatment, but they also tend to respond better to treatment than most non-Hodgkin lymphomas in adults.

For more information see Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Childrenand Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Rhabdomyosarcoma

Rhabdomyosarcoma starts in cells that normally develop into skeletal muscles. (These are the muscles that we control to move parts of our body.) This type of cancer can start nearly any place in the body, including the head and neck, groin, belly (abdomen), pelvis, or in an arm or leg. It may cause pain, swelling (a lump), or both. This is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children. It makes up about 3% of childhood cancers.

For more information see Rhabdomyosarcoma.

Retinoblastoma

Retinoblastoma is a cancer of the eye. It accounts for about 2% of childhood cancers. It usually occurs in children around the age of 2, and is seldom found in children older than 6. Retinoblastomas are usually found because a parent or doctor notices a child's eye looks unusual. Normally when you shine a light in a child's eye, the pupil (the dark spot in the center of the eye) looks red because of the blood in vessels in the back of the eye. In an eye with retinoblastoma, the pupil often looks white or pink. This white glare of the eye may be noticed after a flash picture is taken.

For more information see Retinoblastoma.

Bone cancers

Cancers that start in the bones (primary bone cancers) occur most often in older children and teens, but they can develop at any age. They account for about 3% of childhood cancers.

Two main types of primary bone cancers occur in children:

Osteosarcoma is most common in teens, and usually develops in areas where the bone is growing quickly, such as near the ends of the long bones in the legs or arms. It often causes bone pain that gets worse at night or with activity. It can also cause swelling in the area around the bone.

Ewing sarcoma is a less common type of bone cancer, which can also cause bone pain and swelling. It is most often found in young teens. The most common places for it to start are the pelvic (hip) bones, the chest wall (such as the ribs or shoulder blades), or in the middle of the long leg bones.

For more information see Osteosarcoma and Ewing Family of Tumors.

There is Always a Way Out - Gelacio Kwon

# data[].attributes.body
Approximately 12 to 15 years ago, when there was no such advanced surgical technology as today, my grandma was suffering from a biliary tract cancer, a connector of pancreas and liver. She was one of the few patients who was troubled with this cancer, which the possibility of a full recovery from this was literally less than 1 percent. Eventually, she was given 3 months at most, and since there was no successful surgery case for this, my family was preparing their hearts.

However, the 11-hours-long strenuous operation was fortunately successful; the surgeons succeeded to flawlessly eliminate cancer cells, and so was hepatectomy. The preoperative condition and postoperative result of my grandma were announced at International Hospital Federation (IHF), a colleague of World Health Organization (WHO) in Spain. Moreover, the head surgeon of this project subsequently established the first biliary tract cancer hospital in Korea.

People who have or have been suffering from heinous diseases including cancers have high potential to release their strings. I who have seen and mediately experienced the anguish, these phenomena are totally understandable. On the contrary, though I can’t vividly remember, my father told me that my grandma was always vibrant while receiving treatment. By this, I acknowledged the fact that there is always a way out if one sincerely believes in or desires something.

Fighting with an inevitable enemy called cancer at young age; it would be one of the toughest event in your entire life. I again, who have witnessed my grandma being bald, truly anticipate your full recovery. I have no right push you around. But, it doesn't matter if the possibility is bare; what matters is your will. Believe in 1% like I did, like my family did, and like my grandma did. Good morning my friends, I'm jealous you're already mature.

Last year, Angelina Jolie’s preventive mastectomy surprised the world. She was unfortunate to have BRCA1 gene that gives 87% chance of having a breast cancer in her lifetime and decided to have surgery to get rid of such frightening possibility. The news once again tells that cancer can happen to anyone and therefore makes awareness important to protect ourselves to be safe and healthy. So here is some information about hereditary cancer which is greatly influenced by genes.

Hereditary cancer refers to cancers occurred because of inherited gene mutation. These cancers are linked to a family history and may be caused by an inherited gene mutation; Breast, ovarian, prostate, and colon are some of these cancers. For children, retinoblastoma(tumor starts from eyes) and Li-fraumeni syndrome are the most common inherited gene mutation

If your family has many of these categories, you should consider whether cancer is occurring in a family.

*Many cases of an uncommon or rare type of cancer

*Cancers occurring at younger ages than usual

*More than one type of cancer in a single person

*Cancers occurring in both of a pair of organs

*More than one childhood cancer in a set of siblings

Specific and professional information can be found in the following link:

People who suffer from hereditary cancer are not hard to find. Even around me. Even around you. It can happen to anybody. Therefore, it is extremely important for all of us to raise awareness for cancer. Let’s be aware of causing factors of cancer and stay healthy :)

The bonds in our bodies help us to be balanced, and to move. They are also in charge to control the amount of calcium, and inside of them, there is a tissue called marrow, which produces blood cells such as WBC, RBC and platelet. Among those blood cells, leukemia is a cancer that causes in WBC. When a person gets leukemia, the marrow produces excessive abnormal white blood cells, and restrains the normal blood cells from working efficiently. Decline in the number of normal WBC deteriorates the immune system, and cause septicemia, which comes from infection of virus.

There are four main types of leukemia: a) Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) b) Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) c) Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) d) Chronic myeloid leukemia

Childhood leukemia itself is a rare disease; however, since 1 out of 3 cancers is leukemia, it is the most common cancer in children. Among those four types of leukemia, 3 out of 4 leukemias are ALL, and most of the other cases are AML. ALL occurs more among white children than African-American and Asian-American children, and among boys than girls while AML is diagnosed equally in boys and girls. Current 5-year survival rate of ALL for children has increased up to more than 85% and the rate of AML has increased up to the range of 60% to 70 %.

"No child should die in the dawn of life."

-St. Jude founder Danny Thomas

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in children, but the causes of childhood cancers are usually unknown and hard to prevent. According to American Cancer Society, about 10,450 children(under the age of 15) in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer in 2014. About 1,350 children younger than 15 years old are expected to die from cancer. About 12% of children who are diagnosed with cancer can not survive. This greatly aggrieves the families who have lost loved ones in cancers. The most common types of childhood cancers are acute lymphocytic leukemia, brain tumors, neuroblastoma, lymphoma, kidney, acute myelogenous leukemia, bone tumors and etc. Among the 7 major types of childhood cancers, leukemias and brain cancers are the main childhood cancers.

Overall, the main types of childhood cancers's survival rate are:

Leukemia

Acute lymphocytic90%

Acute myeloid63.90%

Lymphomas

Hodgkin lymphoma97.40%

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma84.50%

Bone and joint 73.90%

Brain and ONS 75.10%

Neuroblastoma 76.40%

Soft tissue 76.10%

Wilms tumor 89.80%

Brain cancer is very hard to detect as its symptoms are not fixed and can vary depending on the people. Also, some of the symptoms can be found in people who don't have cancer.

Such difficulty in diagnosing brain cancer makes the cancer even more dangerous. Therefore, it is very important for you to know more about the cancer and get familiar with it.

Several following statistics will help you learn more about the brain cancer; the most common types of brain cancer, most common symptoms and likeliness to get misdiagnosed.

common types of brain cancer - among 3817 patients

1. Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM): 14.75%

2. Anaplastic Astrocytoma: 13.13%

3. Acoustic Neuroma: 12.92%

common symptoms - among 14798 patients

1. headaches: 59.24%

2. strange feeling in their head: 43.78%

3. problems with vision: 43.78%

4. weakened arms and legs: 43.59%

misdiagnosis rate - among 2366 patients

1. misdiagnosed at first: 59.04%

2. diagnosed correctly: 40.96%

Hopefully, these statistics can help you be more aware of the dangerousness of the brain cancer or brain tumor. There is a great number of possible symptoms of brain cancer. Therefore, it is very important for you to be careful of some of the most common symptoms of the cancer. If you have severe headaches along with strange feelings in you head, problems with vision and weakened arms and legs, it is suggested for you to go and see the doctor right away for the chance of having gotten brain cancer. It is always the best to prevent beforehand or to be sensitive to you body condition so that you can remain healthy without having severe illnesses.

Stay informed, Be Healthy!

Childhood cancer requires special expertise, in fact it usually treated at specialized children’s cancer centers ( often Children’s Oncology Group, COG).

There are variety choices to treat cancers like surgery or radiation therapy, but specifically for children Chemotherapy is most likely to be used.

Many parents fear from the possibilities of unpleasant side effects from chemotherapy, however, those are mostly TEMPORARY and able to CONTROL.

Fatigue : physical or mental tiredness

risk of infection

risk of bleeding

nausea : feeling of vomiting

vomiting

loss of appetite

diarrhea

blood disorders

etc

HOWEVER, those usually goes away after the treatment is finished.

The main reason why I list those side effects is to show its very than late effects of cancer which are life-long effects like reproduction, growth, and hormone problems.

There are a lot of palliative care, or supportive care that helps to manage those side effects.

PLEASE do not be reluctant for treatment only because you fear the side effects. There will be doctors and health care team who have professional skills and experiences to help you or your child to overcome everything.

Terry : Lymphoma - Cancer of the Immune System

# data[].attributes.body
What is Lymphoma?

Lymphoma is a type of cancer that can usually be found from children. It is one of the most common cancer in children. Lymphoma occurs when lymphocytes becomes uncontrolled cell with bigger multiplication. Lymphoma is distributed over the entire body, so if the cancer spreads through a Lymphatic vessel to the entire body, it would be difficult to treat for cancer.

Where does lymphoma spread through firstly?

It spreads through the immune system which are lymphoid tissues and lymphocytes.

What is lymphocyte?

Lymphocytes are white blood cells which are involved in protection in body. They move through the vessel that make up the lymphatic system which is the immune system.

Why does it occur?

The reason that Lymphoma occurs is undiscovered clearly in the medical world People who work in specific chemicals and are congenital from family are easier to get Lymphoma.

How many do children get Lymphoma?

Children get Lymphoma in fixed rate randomly, when they are born. (About 10-15 kids get this cancer out of 100,000) Badly, there is no prevention for this cancer because it is congenital and reason is undiscovered until now.

Types of Lymphoma

There are two types of lymphomas which are Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Statistics

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is one of the most common cancers in the United States, accounting for about 4% of all cancers.

The American Cancer Society’s most recent estimates for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for 2014 are:

About 70,800 people (38,270 males and 32,530 females) will be diagnosed with NHL. This includes both adults and children.

About 18,990 people will die from this cancer (10,470 males and 8,520 females).

In this section you will find an overview of each of the most common types of children's cancer including common symptoms, how they are diagnosed, standard treatments, new therapies being tested and current research.

There are three overall kinds of children's cancer:

Bone marrow is a factory where our blood is made deep inside our bones. It makes red blood cells (which carry oxygen and nutrients through the body), white blood cells (which fight germs and infections) and platelets (which help stop bleeding).

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood. Leukemia cells are sick immune blood cells that do not work properly and crowd out healthy blood cells. Leukemias are the most common childhood cancers. Types of leukemia include acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

The body has a defense system, the immune system. The immune system finds cells that are not healthy or cells that do not belong in the body and destroys them. The immune system stores fighter cells, called lymphocytes, in lymphoid tissues in the body.

Lymphoma is a cancer of the immune system and lymphoid tissues. The sick cells do not work properly to protect the body and they crowd out healthy cells of the immune system. Types of lymphomas include Hodgkin disease (or Hodgkin lymphoma) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

A solid tumor is a lump of sick cells stuck together. Tumors can develop in many parts of the body including the brain, kidneys, liver and bones. These sick cells crowd out healthy cells and keep them from doing their job. Types of solid tumor cancers include neuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma and Wilms tumors.

Basically, broccolis are one kind of cabbages, so uncooked sauerkraut also contain cancer-preventing compounds like broccoli. (Sauerkraut) I know kids don't really like cabbages, but it's better than broccolis, in my opinion.

2. Have some blueberries better than blackberries.

Good news, we have some sweet foods that may prevent cancer; blueberries have antioxidant power that neutralize free radicals, which may prevent cancer.

3. Want to drink some beer? You have a reason now.

Researchers at the German cancer research center have discovered beer contains a molecule that may prevent breast and prostate cancers. (dailymail.co.uk) Unfortunately, research is currently at the very first step of it, but they've found xanthohumol from beer, which might prevent cancer. Now you have reason to drink beer! But remember, one glass, not two, not three, not infinite. If you drink too much, it could cause some cancer.

Eat "resistant starches."

Resistant starch, found in foods like green bananas, rolled oats, and white beans, may help reduce the increased risk of colon cancer from a diet high in red meat. According to the journal Cancer Prevention Research, participants in a study had a 30 percent increase in cell proliferation in the rectal tissue after eating 300 grams of lean red meat a day (about 10 ounces) for four weeks. After adding 40 grams of resistant starches a day while eating the meat, cell proliferation levels went back down to normal. If you're a little bit confused about what a resistance starch is, here's everything you need to know about it.

Marinate your meat.

The high temperature required to grill meat (and broil and fry, for that matter) creates compounds called heterocyclic amines that are linked to cancer. These compounds may damage DNA enough to spur the growth of tumors in the colon, breast, prostate, and lymph cells. One University of Minnesota study found that eating charred meat regularly can increase pancreatic cancer risk by up to 60 percent. According to research in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, marinating red meat in beer or wine for two hours prior to cooking reduced the amount of these harmful compounds. Kansas State University research found that rubbing rosemary onto uncooked meats blocks the formation of these cancer-causing compounds by up to 100 percent. You can also rub a couple of cut kiwifruit on a low-fat cut of meat as a tenderizer to help protect the meat during grilling from those harmful cancer-causing compounds.

Eat wild salmon.

Women who ate fish three times a week or more were 33 percent less likely to have polyps, or growths of tissue in the colon that can turn into cancer, according to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Fish, especially salmon, is packed with anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, which are likely responsible for the cancer-fighting effects. Australian researchers found that people who ate four or more servings of fish per week were nearly one-third less likely to develop the blood cancers leukemia, myeloma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Other studies show a link between eating fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, halibut, sardines, and tuna, as well as shrimp and scallops) with a reduced risk of endometrial cancer in women.

Reap the advantages of a daily aspirin Rx.

If your doctor's recommended that you take aspirin to help your heart, this may also help protect your body from cancer. A study from the U.S. National Cancer Institute found that women who used aspirin daily had a 20 percent lower risk of ovarian cancer than those who used aspirin less than once a week. (Don't take aspirin daily without your doctor's approval; it can cause bleeding in your digestive tract).

Medical Informations.....Encouragements...

I don’t know, to me those doesn’t seem to work well. These things above do not usually come out from heart.

Here, I am writing the letter, hoping this letter reaches to you.

Feeling of death coming closer, fear of giving up many adventures that you haven’t tried yet, frustration, resentment, and worries... worries of losing the loved one.

If I were you, I cannot stand that nor endure that. Your pain shows how strong your soul is.

Somebody says the pain is like thousands of needle pricking the thousands of cells. No one could endure that pain.

But let's not give up. You could say the cure of disease doesn’t matter what you hope and want, but it really does.

Paulo Coelho said “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

People, once in a life, face with destined crisis. Nobody can win at the first time. People fall down and collapse. But this crisis doesn’t ask you to win. It asks you to rise again. It is testing your rise after your fall. When you fall down, deep inside, you could see the boy who is your pure ego. You will be yourself finally. Will you help him, like your parents do to their child? Please?

Why don’t you read some books, even comic books. I recommend you “Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. Why don’t you go out sometimes, to feel the air, wind touching your face.

People need you who overcomes their crisis proudly, and rises again. Will you? I need you. I love you.

See you.

P.S.

I want this letter reaches to you. Please helps me to inform this letter more.

Cancer prevention: 7 tips to reduce your risk

Concerned about cancer prevention? Take charge by making changes such as eating a healthy diet and getting regular screenings.
By Mayo Clinic Staff
You've probably heard conflicting reports about cancer prevention. Sometimes the specific cancer-prevention tip recommended in one study or news report is advised against in another.

In many cases, what is known about cancer prevention is still evolving. However, it's well-accepted that your chances of developing cancer are affected by the lifestyle choices you make.

So if you're concerned about cancer prevention, take comfort in the fact that some simple lifestyle changes can make a big difference. Consider these seven cancer prevention tips.

1. Don't use tobacco

Using any type of tobacco puts you on a collision course with cancer. Smoking has been linked to various types of cancer - including cancer of the lung, mouth, throat, larynx, pancreas, bladder, cervix and kidney. Chewing tobacco has been linked to cancer of the oral cavity and pancreas. Even if you don't use tobacco, exposure to secondhand smoke might increase your risk of lung cancer.

Avoiding tobacco - or deciding to stop using it - is one of the most important health decisions you can make. It's also an important part of cancer prevention. If you need help quitting tobacco, ask your doctor about stop-smoking products and other strategies for quitting.

2. Eat a healthy diet

Although making healthy selections at the grocery store and at mealtime can't guarantee cancer prevention, it might help reduce your risk. Consider these guidelines:

Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Base your diet on fruits, vegetables and other foods from plant sources - such as whole grains and beans.

Avoid obesity. Eat lighter and leaner by choosing fewer high-calorie foods, including refined sugars and fat from animal sources.

If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. The risk of various types of cancer - including cancer of the breast, colon, lung, kidney and liver - increases with the amount of alcohol you drink and the length of time you've been drinking regularly.

Limit processed meats. A report from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer agency of the World Health Organization, concluded that eating large amounts of processed meat can slightly increase the risk of certain types of cancer.

In addition, women who eat a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil and mixed nuts might have a reduced risk of breast cancer. The Mediterranean diet focuses on mostly on plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts. People who follow the Mediterranean diet choose healthy fats, like olive oil, over butter and fish instead of red meat.

3. Maintain a healthy weight and be physically active

Maintaining a healthy weight might lower the risk of various types of cancer, including cancer of the breast, prostate, lung, colon and kidney.

Physical activity counts, too. In addition to helping you control your weight, physical activity on its own might lower the risk of breast cancer and colon cancer.

Adults who participate in any amount of physical activity gain some health benefits. But for substantial health benefits, strive to get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic physical activity. You can also do a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. As a general goal, include at least 30 minutes of physical activity in your daily routine - and if you can do more, even better.

4. Protect yourself from the sun

Skin cancer is one of the most common kinds of cancer - and one of the most preventable. Try these tips:

Avoid midday sun. Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest.

Stay in the shade. When you're outdoors, stay in the shade as much as possible. Sunglasses and a broad-brimmed hat help, too.

Cover exposed areas. Wear tightly woven, loosefitting clothing that covers as much of your skin as possible. Opt for bright or dark colors, which reflect more ultraviolet radiation than pastels or bleached cotton.

Don't skimp on sunscreen. Use generous amounts of sunscreen when you're outdoors, and reapply often.

Avoid tanning beds and sunlamps. These are just as damaging as natural sunlight.

5. Get immunized

Cancer prevention includes protection from certain viral infections. Talk to your doctor about immunization against:

Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B can increase the risk of developing liver cancer. The hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for certain high-risk adults - such as adults who are sexually active but not in a mutually monogamous relationship, people with sexually transmitted infections, intravenous drug users, men who have sex with men, and health care or public safety workers who might be exposed to infected blood or body fluids.

Human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can lead to cervical and other genital cancers as well as squamous cell cancers of the head and neck. The HPV vaccine is recommended for girls and boys ages 11 and 12. It is also available to both men and women age 26 or younger who didn't have the vaccine as adolescents.

6. Avoid risky behaviors

Another effective cancer prevention tactic is to avoid risky behaviors that can lead to infections that, in turn, might increase the risk of cancer. For example:

Practice safe sex. Limit your number of sexual partners, and use a condom when you have sex. The more sexual partners you have in your lifetime, the more likely you are to contract a sexually transmitted infection - such as HIV or HPV. People who have HIV or AIDS have a higher risk of cancer of the anus, liver and lung. HPV is most often associated with cervical cancer, but it might also increase the risk of cancer of the anus, penis, throat, vulva and vagina.

Don't share needles. Sharing needles with an infected drug user can lead to HIV, as well as hepatitis B and hepatitis C - which can increase the risk of liver cancer. If you're concerned about drug abuse or addiction, seek professional help.

7. Get regular medical care

Regular self-exams and screenings for various types of cancers - such as cancer of the skin, colon, cervix and breast - can increase your chances of discovering cancer early, when treatment is most likely to be successful. Ask your doctor about the best cancer screening schedule for you.

Take cancer prevention into your own hands, starting today. The rewards will last a lifetime.

8 bad food habits that may lead to Cancer by Daniel Cho 

# data[].attributes.body
1. No vegetable

A lack of important fiber and phytonutrients found

in vegetables have been linked to certain types of cancer.

2. Overeat

Experts concluded that cancers of the colon, breast (postmenopausal),

endometrium kidneyand esophagus are

all associated with obesity.

3. Charbroiled and boiled

Compounds found in charred foods have been linked to breast cancer in women

4. Lack of Vitamin D

There is a study that shows a connection between lower levels of vitamin D and cancer.

15 minutes of sunlight a day will help you to prevent cancer.

5. Lack of Omega fatty acid

When we eat a lot of processed foods, that our body can't get en

ough of the right types of Omega fatty acids, which is good for o

ur body. So scientists are trying to study their absence in relation

to increased risk of cancer.

6.Processed Foods

I believe people all know processed foods are bad.

Processed foods cause slews of health problems and have been linked

to an increased risk of several cancers, including lung cancer.

7.Diet soda

Artificial colors in soda can link to cancer.

8.Pesticides

Some pesticides were removed by market because it cause cancer. However

there is a recent study that other pesticides also cause cancer.

There's no question, cancer is a scary disease that affects far too many people. Chances are you know someone who has battled one of its many forms. And while there's no miracle food or herb that can guarantee to keep us safe from The Big C, there are certainly some bad habits worth losing that may improve our chances of staying cancer free.

Not enough vegetables: Yeah, your mom knew what she was talking about when she made you sit at the table until you finished your Brussel sprouts. A lack of important fiber and phytonutrients found in vegetables have been linked to certain types of cancer. Eat 'em every day to keep cancer at bay.

Overeating: Obesity is plaguing our country. If you're an overeater, be warned. Experts concluded that cancers of the colon, breast (postmenopausal), endometrium kidney and esophagus are all associated with obesity. Some studies have also reported links between obesity and cancers of the gallbladder, ovaries and pancreas.

Charbroiled or grilled: If "flame-broiled" makes your mouth water and heart skip a beat, you may want to take a seat... Compounds found in charred foods have been linked to breast cancer in women. Opt for roasted or baked and leave the char for the fireplace.

Lack of Vitamin D: Research studies show a connection between lower levels of vitamin D and cancer. It's not found in too many foods (meat and mushrooms), but lots of food items (like non-dairy milks) are fortified with it. 15 minutes of sunlight a day is a great way to get your D, too.

Lack of Omega fatty acids: Americans, especially those who eat a lot of processed foods, aren't getting enough of the right types of Omega fatty acids, which have tremendous health benefits. Scientists continue to study their absence in relation to increased risk of cancer. Find Omega fatty acids in hemp, chia and flax seeds, olive oil and walnuts.

Processed Foods: I know, Pringles and Twix bars taste kinda good. It's pretty remarkable that something that does absolutely nothing good for our bodies can taste so yummy! Processed foods cause slews of health problems and have been linked to an increased risk of several cancers, including lung cancer.

Diet Soda: That Coke Zero is sugar free, and cancer loves sugar, so you're good, right? Well, not to burst your bubbly, but artificial colors in many sodas have been linked to cancer, as have the artificial sweeteners. Need a fuzzy sip? Try sparkling water with a twist instead. Or our Fizzy Cucumber Lemonade.

Pesticides: Some pesticides have been taken off the market because they were discovered to cause cancer-but there are many more out there, and new studies also link them to cancer. Eat organic, know the " dirty dozen " list, and always thoroughly wash your produce!

"As one person I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person." -Paul Shane Spear

Did you know that childhood cancer is the first disease killer of children, in which more children die each year through cancer than asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and pediatric AIDS combined? Although cancer is still a deadly disease to children, the hopeful fact is that there is a great increase shown in the survival rate of children since the 1960s. Due to the support from some public organizations and different individuals, the condition of childhood cancer has been improved. As one can see in the graph above, almost 78% are able to survive for five years, which is used to be only 28% of survival in the late 1960s.

This is the result of active supports from people all over the world, which should be continuously progressing as time goes by. I believe that one individual’s action is the very thing that builds up the world. In this sense, the first step of coping with cancer deals with having an interest and being aware of cancer.

No matter how small or grand, your interest and donation will be both great emotional and financial support for children all over the world who are suffering from cancer. Your support doesn’t necessarily have to be immense; different supports like donating handmade hat, actively participating in volunteer works, and offering words of encouragement, will actually become a power for children to withstand cancer. Think this way: cancer not could only happen to others, but also to myself. And remember that you can bring the change, hope, and happiness to others by your small actions.

One of the examples of children cancer;

<Bone and Joint cancer>

Among 15500 children's cancer diagnoses, 6% were bone and joint cancer.
{Bone and join cancer occur by the growth of abnormal cells in bones. The very first symptom of it is the pain of bone.}

http://www.curesearch.org/Childhood-Cancer-Statistics/

<Increment of the annual survival rates>

According to Cancer Research UK, the survival rates of children are increasing year by year. Nowadays, thanks to the improvement of treatments that grow astonishingly day by day, large increases in survival for many childhood cancers are turned out. For example, to compare with 1966-1970 and 1981-1985, the survival rate had increased from 9% to 61%. Thus, given the situation, in our very close future there would be much easier cure for cancer that would eventually increase much more survival rates especially for our children.

The ACCIS project has enabled a detailed analysis of survival from children's cancers in Europe. For all childhood cancers diagnosed in the period 1988-1997, five-year survival was highest in Northern Europe (77%) and lowest in the Eastern region (62%); survival for the British Isles was roughly in the middle at 71%.[ 1]

Northern Europe has the highest survival for the majority of diagnostic groups; of notable exception are lymphomas and SNS tumours, which are highest in Western Europe. Eastern Europe has the lowest survival for all of the diagnostic groups except carcinomas and melanomas.
