Every year we are all inundated with request to buy a ribbon, to walk, to give your extra change to find “a cure” for breast cancer.
Sorry, but I can’t. The reason is that most of these foundations don’t do any sort of alternative medicine research. If you were to listen to the media, you would think that the only treatment that has any hope of being successful is traditional medical treatment. What about successful treatments by Rene Caisse in Canada in the 1930’s?
What about treatments using megadoses of antioxidants?

What is the leading factor in the likelihood of a woman developing breast cancer?
The short answer…genetics!
If a woman has a history of breast cancer or there is a strong history of breast disease in her family then it is advisable to consider genetic evaluation to see if you carry the flawed gene. The test consists of a simple blood test.
Although there is testing available to determine whether or not you carry this flawed gene , this test I by no means definitive with any degree of precision that you will get breast cancer.Carrying this flawed gene only indicates that you may have a greater risk than if you did not have it.

How does gene therapy work?
Gene therapy is a procedure for treatment of mesothelioma cancers by altering the expression of a person’s genes in line a therapeutic goal. The objective and aim of gene therapy is centred on rectifying disease at DNA level and to compensate for the abnormal genes.
How does replacement gene therapy work?
Replacement gene therapy displaces a mutated gene, most often a tumor suppressor gene, and replaces it with a normal copy of that gene which function to control cell growth and division. The p53 gene, the most known and common gene altered in cancer has turned out to be a prime target for replacement of gene, and has been successful in preventing cell growth, preventing angiogenesis that is the development of a tumor’s blood supply, and to induce apoptosis.

Australian researchers have discovered that rapid-growing skin cancers show common characteristics.
Skin cancers or melanomas are more likely to grow and spread quickly if they are thicker, symmetrical, elevated and have regular borders or display certain symptoms, according to their study.
Wendy Liu from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center in East Melbourne, Australia, with her colleagues, examined the melanoma growth rate of 222 male patients and 182 female patients with an average age of 54.
The participants had their skin closely examined by a dermatologist, and they were interviewed soon after diagnosis about when they first noticed the spot or spots on their skin.

Prostate cancer is a very common disease among males in the United State. If
skin cancer is excluded, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer
among men living in the United States. Prostate cancer may have much
variation in the stage and extend of disease at presentation and in many
people the cancer might linger for a long period of time without causing any
significant problems to the person. Because of this reason, number of men
who would die from prostate cancer is much smaller than the number of men
who would be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Colorectal cancer is a major health concern and public health problem in
most of the Western countries despite widespread use of screening technique
to detect early stages of this disease. In the United States alone more than
148,000 people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year. Over 55,000
deaths occur in the United States due to colorectal cancer. Colon cancer is
a very common disease and it is the third most common type of cancer in both
sexes. In men it ranks third after prostate and lung cancer and in women
after lung and breast cancer. Colorectal cancer ranks second after lung
cancer in terms of number of deaths from cancer.

Thanks to highly reliable tests as well as more frequent testing, colon cancer has become known as one of the least deadly cancers. If caught in its earliest stages, this type of cancer can be completely eradicated from the body. In order for it to be detected, however, patients must undergo a test known as a colonoscopy to check for polyps that might develop into cancer. This test is especially important for those over the age of 50 since there may be no symptoms that cancer is beginning to form.

Skin cancer is diagnosed more often than all other cancers combined. In 2006, more than 62,000 people in the United States discovered they had this cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. More than 9,000 people died from it.
Ultraviolet or UV rays are to skin cancer what smoking is to lung cancer-a highly avoidable cancer-causing agent. Excessive sun exposure is the cause for most of this. Other risk factors include exposure to coal, arsenic or radium, multiple moles, having a fair complexion and experiencing severe sunburns as a child.
