Chelation Therapy For Lung Cancer

Lung Cancer, like any other type of cancer, is the uncontrollable growth of cells in the lung tissue. The main causes that contribute to lung cancer include inhaling carcinogens (basically, smoking), exposure to ionizing radiation, viral infections and even air pollution. These factors basically damage the tissues lining the bronchi in the lung, leading the cancer to develop further (Vaporciyan & Nesbitt JC, 2000). Primary lung cancers that develop in the epithelial tissues of the lung are known as carcinomas and claim the top spot in terms of leading cancer-related death causes. As of 2004, lung cancer

A common form of cancer that is very popular today is lung cancer. Lung cancer is a very dangerous form that can cause problems in simple body functions. These simple body functions are short breath and general fatigue. Lung cancer is commonly formed from smokers that has been exposed to that activity for numerous years. Lung cancer can also be spread by being exposed to asbestos or other pollutants. This form of cancer has many risk factors to it. These risk factors are high levels of air pollution, arsenic drinking water, and radon gas. Radon gas is a gas that is highly radioactive and is very sensitive to the body. Once radon is exposed to the body, it has a very high respiration rate which initially divide its radioactive cells- causing more significant damage to the body.

Lung cancer also called as pulmonary carcinoma or carcinoma of lungs, is a malignant lung tumor that causes uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. This growth can spread to all other parts of body by a process called metastasis. Lung cancer can be primarily typed into Small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cancer).The most common symptoms include respiratory symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath and systemic symptoms such as weight loss, fever and fatigue. Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death all over the world. Smoking is a primary risk factor which accounts for 85% of lung cancer deaths. The

     Lung cancer is the most common cancer-related cause of death among men and women. Lung cancer can be undetected for many years causing it to become more dangerous and possibly fatal. There is not cure for lung cancer or any cancer, but if detected in an early stage the lung cancer can be detected, treated, and hopefully terminated. There are many new and developing treatments being tested now that may save lives in the future. Through understanding what the lung cancer is, doctors can easily diagnose and assess cancer patients.

The number one factor for getting lung cancer is smoking tobacco. Smoking causes cancers because the tobacco changes our DNA and

Among all types of cancer, lung cancer is a very common and highly lethal cancer. Lung cancer is an insidious disease not showing symptoms in its early stages, thus the diagnosis in most cases is done in cases of advanced disease. Shows an increase by 2% year on their worldwide incidence. Mortality from this tumor is very high and the prognosis of this disease is related to the phase where it is diagnosed.

A more specific definition of lung cancer is that it is a type of cancer that happens when a cell starts to grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor in one or both lungs (2). Although lung cancer can start in other places of the respiratory system, it usually begins in the lining of the bronchi (3). It begins due to a change, or mutation, in a cell's genetic material, which leads the cell losing its ability to control its growth (2). This mutation is caused by environmental or hereditary reasons, but doctors usually are not able to identify the exact cause (4). However, it is important to examine a cancerous cell under a microscope because that helps the doctors identify the type of lung cancer, so they can give the best treatment to the patients

Preventative Measures: The main way to avoid having lung cancer is not to smoke and to avoid taking in second hand smoke, but also stay away from radon gas and asbestos. Certain types of mining and farming can cause exposure to harmful asbestos and radon. It is best to stay away from these kinds of fumes, dust and other dangerous chemicals. A certain nutrient called phytoestrogen which is found in legumes, whole grains, soy products and vegetables reduces the risk of developing lung cancer. Coal products,

Another way of getting cancer is from air pollution. The risk of getting lung cancer is present if you live in a big city like New

Lung cancer is cancerous tissues that forms within the lungs. Most of the time, you will see that the cancer affect the cells that line the air passages. There are two classifications of lung cancer, small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Lung cancer affects the body by blocking your airways. This causes the person to have a hard time breathing. Another thing that can happen is that the cancerous tumors could spread to other parts on the body because of the cancer in the lungs. This will happen when a tumor could potentially shed malignant cells. After the tumor sheds the cells it can be then transported to other parts of the body. The cell is most likely spread through the bloodstream from the lymph fluid in the lungs tissues (Witschi, 2001).

Lung cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer related death. The most common cause of lung cancer is active and passive cigarette smoking (Lemone & Burke, 2011). Additionally, environmental and occupational risk factors associated with lung cancer are: benzopyrene and radon particles related to uranium mining, radiation and nuclear bombs, air pollution, diesel exhaust at cetera (Port, 2011). The age-adjusted occurrence for 2007 in Australia discloses that lung cancer is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and females aged sixty and over (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare [AIHW] 2011). Both cytological and histopathological samples are used to make an analysis of lung cancer so that the appropriate treatment can be done.

Introduction: George is an 89 year old man which recently has been diagnosed with Metastatic Lung Cancer. Lung cancer itself accounts for killing an estimated 1.5 million people annually worldwide (Keshamouni, et.al, 2009). Lung cancer is divided into two major types: Non-small-cell cancer which includes these types of cancers; adenocarcinoma, squamous cell and large-cell, these all account to 80% of cases. The second major type is the Small-cell lung cancer which includes these cancers; oat cell, intermediate and combined, all of which only account to 20% of cases. The major causes of Lung cancer are these risk factors: tobacco smoke, air pollution, arsenic, asbestos, nickel and radon. Only 13% of patients survive 5 years after diagnosis (Williams, L, et.al, 2009). But Metastatic Lung Cancer is slightly different, the difference is the cancer originated in another area of the body, and then spread to the Lungs, causing Lung Cancer. This process begins with the cells breaking away from the main tumour or cancer and then travelling into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream the cancer cells will attach themselves to a vessel which will then attach to a organ and majority of the time it is the lungs (Chang, E, et.al, 2010). Though there is no cure for Metastatic Lung cancer there are preventions such as avoiding things known to cause cancer such as smoking tobacco.

Lung cancer is the number one killer of cancers of both men and women here in the United States. It accounts for 28% of the death rates due to cancer. In 1999, it is estimated that 1,221,800 new cases of cancer are expected to occur and out of these 171,600 are to be cases of lung cancer. (Meyer 1990)

Our group's search began with a division of labor to more efficiently utilize our resources. The lung cancer topic was chosen due to the personal and societal impacts this disease produces. Finding balanced and accurate sources to build our case obviously and necessarily became an important priority. Additionally the topic of lung cancer is very broad and reaching, creating a problem of scope for this particular problem. It became evident that in order to find useful answers in this realm meant for us to ask useful questions. All the data and inference in the world does not assist the researcher unless it is applied in a formula that expresses the necessary dialogues reflecting the intent of those who are utilizing such information.

Your lungs are an organ that allows you to breathe in air and supply oxygen to the body’s tissues and removing waste. Normal cells in the lungs grow and divide to form new cells as they are needed. When normal cells grow old or get damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes this process goes wrong and new cells form when the body does not need them. Old or damaged cells do not die as they should and a mutation in the cell’s DNA occurs. The mutated cell divides and passes along the abnormal gene to two new cells, which then divides into four cells with abnormal genes in each of their DNA. With each new mutation, the lung tissue cell becomes more mutated building up and forming a mass of tissue called a growth. These abnormal lung cells do not develop as they should; instead they begin to damage and destroy the healthy lung tissue that is present. Therefore they do not carry out the normal functions of the lung cells. These normal functions consist of taking in air, circulating oxygen throughout the body via the blood, and picking up and moving all waste gases back out of the body. Lung cancer cells can be caused by the normal aging process or through environmental factors.
