Symptoms of kidney cancer

Kidney cancer rarely causes signs or symptoms in its early stages. In the later stages, kidney cancer signs and symptoms may include:

Blood in your urine, which may appear pink, red or cola-colored
Back pain just below the ribs that doesn't go away
Weight loss
Fatigue
Intermittent fever

what is kidney cancer
Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. They're located behind your abdominal organs, one on each side of your spine. Like other major organs in the body, the kidneys can sometimes develop cancer.

In adults, the most common type of kidney cancer is renal cell carcinoma, which begins in the cells that line the small tubes within your kidneys. Children are more likely to develop a kind of kidney cancer called Wilms' tumor.

The American Cancer Society estimates that almost 51,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with kidney cancer each year. The incidence of kidney cancer seems to be increasing, though it isn't clear why. Many kidney cancers are detected during procedures for other diseases or conditions. Imaging techniques, such as computerized tomography (CT), are being used more often, which may help find more kidney cancers.

Now with such alarming figures the task of hospitals and doctors has become very challenging. But with the advancement of technology its cure has become possible provided the disease is diagnosed in its early phase. Today the use of modern technology has brought the cure rate of cancer to almost 70-80%.

The Apollo hospitals have some of the most advanced technologies and state of art equipments to enable them to fight the disease.

The recently started Apollo cancer institute is a great success. The institute provides the treatment in the following major specialties :

Treatment of Blood Cancer

Blood cancer is rather a cluster of cancers developed in the blood cells and therefore the patients with leukaemia requires special treatment. The special cancer centres can only meet those special needs. The treatment of blood cancer is a complete program which the patients have to follow in order to achieve best results.

Chemotherapy is the first method to destroy those leukaemic cells by the usage of anti cancer drugs.

is effective to slow down the rate of reproduction of the leukaemic cells and helps the immune system to build sufficient anti- leukaemia activity.
SurgeryThe surgery is performed for the removal of an enlarged spleen or to install a venous access device to give medications and withdraw blood samples.

Cancer Symptoms

Cancer gives you no symptoms or signs that exclusively indicate the disease. Every complaint for cancer can explain a harmless condition as well. If you have symptoms, however, you should see a doctor for further evaluation.

causes of blood cancer

Blood is a parts of the body. Blood has different components sch as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. The red blood cells (rbc), platelets also called monocytes because it is belong to the “myeloid” group and other white blood cells belong to the “lymphoid” group. Lymphoid cells are affected. Disease progresses quickly. This is most common among children. Blood cancer or Leukaemia is actually a group of diseases, each of which impede with the normal functioning of blood cells and progressively weaken the system.leukaemia is classified as either Acute or Chronic. Blood and urine samples may also be tested for various substances, called tumor markers, which may indicate cancer.

sometimes fatal complication of allogeneic transplants in which the patient’s immune system attacks the transplant.

Researchers have found that cancer develops from mutations within the genes of cells. Thus, cancer is a genetic disease. Cancer susceptibility genes are of two types. Some are oncogenes, which activate cell division and influence embryonic development, and some are tumor suppressor genes, which halt cell division.

causes of blood cancer

1. Exposure to radiation.

2. Exposure to chemicals.

3. Human T-cell Leukaemia Virus (HTLV)

4. Genetic factors (chromosom

blood cancer

What Is Blood?

The average adult has about 12 pints of blood in his/her body. Suspended in the blood are billions of tiny cells that can only be seen under a microscope. Most of these are red blood cells (also called erythrocytes) that contain hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues, such as muscle, where it is needed. Red blood cells take up about half the volume of the blood.

Blood also contains a large number of white blood cells (also called leukocytes), which do not have hemoglobin. Their job is to attack bacteria and viruses that invade the body.These white blood cells are often the ones that become cancerous.

Another type of blood cell is called a platelet. Platelets help to control bleeding and form clots.

The rest of the blood is straw-colored liquid called plasma. The plasma contains nutrients and hormones.

Side effects of breast cancer

Side effects
Many women receiving breast cancer treatment have a few side effects that keep them from eating well. These side effects may be mild, and you may be able to control them with medications or complementary therapies. Talk to your doctors about your symptoms so they can be treated. If you continue to have problems eating, make sure your doctor.
Herceptin causes in about 40% of the people who take it. These symptoms may include: fever chills muscle aches nausea Side effects generally become less severe after the first treatment. Your treatment team will monitor you during your infusions, especially your first dose, and can adjust the infusion if you are very uncomfortable.
In the following pages of the Side Effects section, you can learn about: Since fatigue is almost always a side effect of breast cancer treatment, I try to help my patients focus the energy they do have on the things that are most important to them. This means trying not to spend all their energy on housekeeping and running errands, but focusing it on quality things and some good physical activity.

treatments of breast cancer

Treatments
Certain breast cancer treatments can speed up bone loss or cause you to lose more bone than you normally would: : Some chemotherapy medicines can have a direct effect on your bone health. In other situations, some women who are close to menopause and get chemotherapy may have significant bone loss because the chemotherapy causes early menopause…
the other treatments have been given if the cancer is hormone-receptor positive. There are many exceptions to this sequence, however, or other treatments given. There are also many other variations in timing and sequence. Talk with your doctor to determine the best sequence of treatment for you.
In recent years, there's been an explosion of life-saving treatment advances against breast cancer, bringing new hope and excitement. Instead of only one or two options, today there's an overwhelming menu of treatment choices that fight the complex mix of cells in each individual cancer. The decisions—surgery, then perhaps radiation, hormonal (anti-estrogen) therapy, and/or chemotherapy—can feel overwhelming.
