Researchers at the Skin cancer Scanning Israeli company has developed a new diagnostic tool for skin cancer that can identify potentially malignant moles with an efficiency of 92 percent, they say, is “much more than any other device currently offers . According to Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on its website, currently underway in various clinical trials Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, having found that through its fiber optic system it facilitates more accurate information to assist the Early detection of these tumors.

However, researchers are still finalizing the usefulness of this tool and hope that the level of performance reached 95 percent accuracy. “We’ve invested millions of dollars to create an accurate diagnostic method, none of the above have so far been able to replace the doctor,” said Biderman.

In fact, the diagnosis of skin cancer is developing in two stages, with the doctor or dermatologist in charge of making an initial screening and detect which moles are suspected of developing melanoma and confirm the risk through a biopsy. However, the researchers caution that the medical examination is necessary and this is leading many patients to undergo unnecessary biopsies.

Other cancers can also suffer the children is a cancer of bone or primary bone tumor or called osteosarkoma. Namely the occurrence of malignant growth on the surface of bone tissue. Usually occurs paa lower end of the femur, upper arm bone the top, bone dry the top, and others. The growth of this tissue causes pain. Pain during activity, swelling, palpable warmth, and red signs of inflammation.
Bone cancer is usually only found in children before adolescence. Sometimes symptoms of a fracture found no apparent reason. This happens because the tumor is causing weakened bones that break easily even if only doing mild activity. Solutions to overcome them is by surgery. However, to do chemotherapy first to reduce and kill cancer cells that spread.

You may have seen a large and prominent veins in the calf. Do not underestimate, it is varicose veins. Left untreated, varicose veins will cause cancer called ulcus varicosa.
An expert revealed the main cause of varicose veins is the incompetence of the valves in the veins (venous). Varicose veins are usually used in pregnant women. But it was all normal and varicose veins will usually resolve on their own at the time the mother completed delivery. Varicose veins are usually detected in the form of soft shadows. At the foot of men soft shadows usually appear at the time he finished work hard or do activities such as running and so on. Varicose veins can be lost, if given an injection. Varicose veins dangerous is already in clinical category. These types are usually prominent and winding and the sufferer will feel pain when standing for long.
This happens because blood collects around the lump is causing pain. If the lump is surgery in it will come out like a jewel bji. Which is regrettable, for these communities are often considered trivial varicose veins, so no prevention efforts early. Usually, new patient checks varicose veins to the doctor, when feeling pain. And is often done when the action has severe varicose veins.

The cancer stem cell is a hypothetical type of stem cell that would form tumors while the properties of stem cells as self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into multiple cell types. One theory suggests that these cells persist in tumors as a distinct population and cause relapse and metastasis in giving new tumor growth. The development of specific therapies aimed at cancer stem cells in hopes of improving survival and quality of life of cancer patients, especially those who suffer from metastases.

Existing cancer treatments were developed mainly with animal models, where therapies able to promote tumor shrinkage were deemed effective. However, animals can not provide a complete model of human disease. In particular, tumor relapse is exceptionally difficult to study in mice, whose lives do not exceed two years.

Cancer of the lining of the uterus (sometimes called the womb) is known as endometrial cancer. The most common symptom is unusual bleeding from the vagina, especially bleeding after having gone through menopause.

Having your doctor about any unusual bleeding occurs, you can increase the possibility of finding an endometrial cancer at early stages. Endometrial cancer can almost always be successfully treated if found early.
Other things that may put you at greater risk for endometrial cancer include having your first period before age 12 or going through menopause after age 50. Women who have never been pregnant and those using a drug called tamoxifen may also be at a higher risk level

Colon cancer is a disease in which cancer cells are found in tissues of the colon. In this type of cancer is a family heritage that is transmitted by a gene (DNA strand), carriers of this gene can be detected and treated very early

DIAGNOSIS

Early detection is therefore essential preventive examinations should be performed as the DRE, rectoscopy, and colonoscopy, especially those who have risk factors (colon polyps, ulcerative colitis) or family history of colon cancer. We also perform a blood test to detect carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), which rises in the blood in this type of cancer.
