Tumor vs Cancer
What is a tumor?
A
tumor
is a new organism that grows out of normal control and loses its normal
control. Tumor can basically occur in any kind of cell in the body.
What is cancer?
The
degree of tumor deterioration is different, the most serious is cancer.
Cancer
is often the killer of death directly or indirectly.
Gene lesions
Normal
cell growth and division are regulated and regulated by the body. This special
information is stored in genes (DNA) in the nucleus. If the gene is diseased,
the cells may lose control or grow irregularly to form a tumor.
What is DNA?
Deoxyribonucleic
acid is a molecule composed of two chains that coil around each other to form a
double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning,
growth and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses.
Genetic factors
There
are many factors in gene pathology, including family factors. This may be due
to cytogenetic information. Some congenital diseases can be accompanied by
abnormal chromosomes, thus increasing the chance of cancer.
Tumor causes
In
addition, environmental factors such as frequent exposure to the sun will
increase the risk of skin cancer; exposure to ionizing radiation or dangerous
chemicals can also cause certain tumors. In addition, smoking, heavy drinking
and long-term consumption of unhealthy foods can also increase the incidence of
cancer. Some infectious diseases, including sexually transmitted diseases, can
also cause tumors.
Blood test
The
presence or absence of a specific tumor marker can be checked from the blood to
determine whether the tumor is present. However, sometimes the test results may
have false positives or false negatives, which may cause difficulty in
diagnosis.
Tumor tissue biopsy
X-ray examination, ultrasound examination and
computed tomography can distinguish the size and shape of the tumor. In
addition, the tumor tissue can be directly extracted or cut for biopsy, and
benign or malignant tumors can be distinguished under the microscope.
Cancer types
1. Cervical
cancer
2. Skin
cancer
3. Lung
cancer
4. Nasopharyngeal
cancer
5. Blood
cancer
6. Breast
cancer
7. Bladder
cancer
8. Liver
cancer
9. Gastric
cancer
10. Esophageal
cancer
11. Intestinal
cancer
12. Bone
cancer
Can
a tumor be cured?
·
Surgical treatment is a common cancer
therapy.
·
If the tumor can be completely removed
at an early stage, the effect of radical treatment can be achieved.
·
Radiation therapy is a large dose of
radiation, very close to the tumor cells, to kill tumor cells.
·
Chemotherapy is a drug that kills or
controls the growth of tumor cells, but it can also act on normal human cells,
causing a variety of side effects.
How
to prevent tumor
·
The method of prevention depends on
the type of tumor.
·
In general, maintaining a healthy
lifestyle can help reduce the chances of certain tumors.
·
If you don't smoke.
·
Don’t drink alcohol, and
·
Get less exposure in the sun.
·
At the same time, if you find that
your body has abnormal symptoms, you should consult your doctor as soon as
possible to avoid delaying your condition.
Conclusion
The
degree of tumor deterioration is called cancer, its serious condition that can
be resulted directly or indirectly death of a patient.
