What is Cancer

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and

multiplying disordered and uncontrollable way in our body, have become

progressively worse and damaged other healthy tissues, sometimes spreads

to other organs in the body via lymph or blood and results may be in death.

The growth of normal cells

Under normal circumstance, cell growth is a natural process without even

notice, everyday millions of cell grow to replace millions of dead cells andto keep our body in balance and healthy.

Sometimes, acceleration of cells growth is necessary to prevent further

damage to the body organ, such as cut, injure, etc., but after fulfilling their

purposes, the growth of cells are back to normal rate again due to our body

growth inhibitors. Unfortunately, skin cells sometimes overgrow while

healing, leading to scar to the skin.


2/21

The primary tumor; size and growth

A primary tumor or original tumor is a tumor that is at the original site

where it first arose and progression to yield a cancerous mass. Some types

of cancer can begin in several places, such as lymphomas and leukemias.

Most cancers can not be detected until they formed a lump as little as a

grape. A cancer cell needs 42 doubling before it can produce enough cancer

cells to cause death.

How cancer cell invade neighbor cells

If the cancer cells grow to its tumor size, they may also invade and kill their

neighbor cells byproducing abnormal or excessive signalling chemicals

(hormones or cytokines) which upset the normal chemical balance of the

body and alter the metabolic pathways, leading to disordered and violent

cellular behavior.

Distance spread

There are many ways cancer causes of distant formation of secondary

cancers

1. Local spreading, lymph vessel, blood vessel

1.1. Local spreading as soon as the cancer cells grows to its tumor size, it

will invade the nearby area. The reason of its action still unknown, butresearchers suspect

a. As the tumor grows, it needs more space by pressing on the nearby normal

body tissue nearby naturally for its own survival.

b. Enzyme

Tumors contain large amount of enzymes produced by the cancerous cells to

ensure their survival by breaking down the nearby tissues, making a pathway

for itself to invade the healthy tissue. Scientists have discovered a substancemade by cancer cells which plays a big part in the local spread of cancers.

1.2. Spread through lymph vessel

If some cancer cells detached from the primary tumor and travel can grow

into a secondary cancer but most of time they are trapped in the nearby

lymph nodes closest to the original tumor.


3/21


4/21

Chemicals such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, asbestos, and hexavalent

chromium, have been shown to be carcinogenic can enhance DNA

mutations, leading to the growth of cancer. There are some chemicals which

can promote cancers by stimulating the rate of cell division, leading to less

time for repair enzymes to repair damaged DNA during DNA replication,

increasing the risk of cancer.

2. Diet

In the United States obesity is associated with the development of many

types of cancer and is a factor in 1420% of all cancer death. Even through

there are no direct link of obesity to cancer risk but it may have a negative

effects on immune system and endocrine system.

3. Infection

Worldwide approximately 18% of cancers are related to infectious diseases.There is an indication of which viruses are usual infectious agents that cause

cancer but bacteria and parasites may also have an effect.

4. Radiation

Radiation can cause cancer in most parts of the body, in all animals, and at

any age, although radiation-induced solid tumors usually take 1015 years,

and up to 40 years, to become clinically manifest, and radiation-induced

leukemias typically require 210 years to appear, due to radiation exposure,

including both ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation.

B. Hereditary genetic cause.

Due to abnormalities of certain class of gene in cells division and replication

such as oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.

C. Hormone

Some hormones factor can enhance the development and spread of sex-

related cancer, such as cancer of the breast, endometrium, prostate, ovary,

and testis, and also of thyroid cancer and bone cancer.

D. Inflammation

Although there is no evidence of inflammation caused caner, repeated

injuries to the same tissues might promote excessive cell division and

replication, thus increasing the risk of a cancerous mutation.


5/21

E. Etc.

Classification

Cancers are classified by the types of cell that have become malignant.

1. Carcinoma

Carcinoma is a malignant tumor found in anywhere of epithelial tissues

lining the cavities, surfaces of structures and glands. Although the forming

of the malignant tumor in epithelium are still unknown, but it possesses and

associates the characteristics of epithelial cells, including those of the breast,

prostate, lung and colon.

2. Sarcoma

Sarcoma is a type of cancer that arises from malignantly connective tissue

cells originated from embryonic germ cells or bone, cartilage, and fat tissues

and cells.

3. Lymphoma and leukemia:

Hematopoietic cells are multipotent stem cells that give rise to all types of

the blood cell, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets

become cancerous.

4. Germ cell tumor

Cancer derived from pluripotent cells. In adults these are most often found in

the testicle and ovary, but are more common in babies and young children.

5. Blastoma

Cancer derived from immature "precursor" or embryonic tissue. These are

also commonest in children.

Types of factor that cause cancers

1. Aging: Due to weakened immune system as a result of wear and tear over

years. Some researchers suspected that free radicals may be one of

contributors.

2. Tobacco :Due to chemical causes of cells alternation

3. Sunlight :Damage to skin as result of ultra violet.

4. ionizing radiation: Any types of hazard chemicals cause of gene mutation


6/21


7/21

2. Squamous cell carcinoma

Cancer begins in squamous cells in the found in the tissues of the surface of

the bladder, due to long-term infection or irritation. About 8 percent of

people with bladder cancers begin squamous cells

3. Adenocarcinoma

Cancer begins originates in glandular tissue of the bladder, including the

surface layer of skin, glands and a variety of other tissue, due to long-term

irritation and inflammation. Only 2 percent of people with the condition

have a third bladder cancer type.

B. Types of bladder cancer classified due to their proliferation

1. Superficial types of bladder cancer

This type of bladder cancers have a characteristic of often recurrence but

usually non invasive. It can be controlled or removed by regular cystoscopy.

2. Invasive types of bladder cancerInvasive types of bladder cancer tend to spread after beginning in cells in the

lining of the bladder. It often requires surgery by removing part or whole

bladder.

Stages of bladder cancer

Bladder cancer can be classified in difference stage depending to the

location, size, and spread of the cancer.

Stage 0: Cancer cells are found only on the inner lining of the bladder

Stage I: Cancer cells have spread to the layer beyond the inner lining of the

bladder but not to the muscles.

Stage II: Cancer cells have spread to the muscles in the bladder wall but not

to the fatty tissue that surrounds the bladder.

Stage III: Cancer cells have spread to the fatty tissue surrounding the urinary

bladder and nearby organs, but not to the lymph nodes or other organs.

Stage IV: Cancer cells have spread to the lymph nodes, and/or other organs,

etc.

Recurrent: Cancer has recurred in the bladder and/or another nearby organs

after treatments.

Symptoms

1. Bladder spasms

2. Blood in urine

3. Frequent urination

4. Pain or burning sensation during urination

5. Pain in lower back and/or abdomen


8/21

6. Inability to urinate

7. Urinary urgency

8. Reduced bladder capacity

9. Difficult in urination

10. Loss of appetite and weight

11. Etc.

Causes

1. Smoking

Everybody knows that cigarette smoking is a major cause of lung cancer, but

not many people understand that it also can lead to bladder cancer. Study of

a group of people with the available smoking information, included duration

of smoking habit, number of cigarettes smoked per day and time since

cessation of smoking habit for ex-smokers, showed cigarette smoking

increases the risk of bladder cancer with 1.96 after 20 years of smoking to5.57 after 60 years, with an immediate decrease in risk of bladder cancer was

observed for those who gave up smoking by over 30%. In fact, cigarette

contains certain harmful chemicals which can also lead to bladder cancer

due to prolong period of exposure in the limning of bladder walls.

2. Chemicals exposure

Reseachers investigated the risk of bladder cancer in association with

exposure to over 12 000 occupational chemical agents, complex mixtures,

and other substances, showed that increased risk of bladder cancer was

detected for ever exposure to 635 chemical agents, and 341 chemical agents

exhibited a significantly increasing dose-response relationship.

3. Diet high in fried meats and fat

Study showed that risk of bladder cancer increased by 37% with a high fat

intake, by 40% with low fruit consumption and by 16% with diets low in

vegetables.

4. Aging

The acceptance of that aging is one the greatest single risk factor fordeveloping bladder cancer due to weakened immune system, increased free

radicals frequent attacked, genetic and epigenetic changes, environmental

influences, etc.

5. Infection caused by a certain parasite

A parasite worm, Schistosoma which can lead to Schistosomiasis, is a

chronic disease that can damage a person internal organs and the urinary


9/21

form of schistosomiasis may cause bladder cancer in adults. Schistosomiasis

can also lead to inflammation of bladder lining leading to the transitional

cell carcinoma, the predominant type of bladder cancer.

6. Etc.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis are always important for people who have had the symptoms

mentioned above. If bladder cancer is diagnosed early, most of the times it

can be cured.

Beside checking the patient personal health history and smoking habit, rectal

examination for men and pelvic examination, others exams include

1. Urine test

Urine test is one of the first test which your doctor may order to rule out

conditions of infection or inflammation causes of similar symptoms anddetect the presence of certain antibodies and other markers may indicate

bladder cancer.

2. Urinalysis:

Any abnormality found in urine test will be sent for urinalysis such as blood,

protein, and sugar.

3. Cystoscopy

If you urine test came back positive, your doctor may want to take a look

inside your bladder for abnormalities such as tumors by inserting a very

narrow tube with a light and a camera on the end through the urethra. The

camera transmits pictures to a video monitor for a direct viewing of the

inside of the bladder wall.

4. Intravenous Pyelography (IVP)

The test is performed by taking a series of x-ray films of your bladder after

injecting a drug solution with a catheter through the urethra to highlight and

mark any abnormality inside your bladder easier. You are asked not to pass

urine for a few hour after injection.

5. CT scan

CT scan can dive your doctor a three-dimensional view of your bladder and

the rest of your urinary tract to look for masses and other abnormalities such

as tumor.


10/21

6. Biopsy

This test usually is done under local anesthesia. If the lump is found in the

bladder wall or area which is suspicious to be tumor, a tiny samples of your

bladder wall are removed usually during cystoscopy and examined by a

pathologist. Small tumors can also be removed during the biopsy process.

7. Etc.

Treatments

1. Surgery

a. Removal of superficial tumors

Normally if the tumor is the superficial type,general anesthesia is

sometimes used for operative cystoscopic which is endoscopy of the urinary

bladder via the urethra.

b. Total cystectomy

When cancer invades the muscle of the bladder wall, it is usually necessary

to remove the entire bladder surgically, but for women patients, researchers

advice that total cystectomy could manage invasive bladder cancer in

women patients but night continence is not as good as that in men patients.

c. Partial cystectomy

Sometime by preserving the bladder, partial or segmental cystectomy is

involved to remove only part of bladder tumor and surrounding bladder wall

but researchers found that only 5.8-18.9% of patients with muscle-invasive

bladder cancer are suitable candidates for partial cystectomy.

2. Radiotherapy

After the invasive cancer tumor is removed, if cancer cells are found on the

edge of the removal tumor, your specialist may suggest radiotherapy to kill

and prevent the cancer cells from spreading or if you want to try to keep

your bladder, or try to keep your potency. Radiotherapy is the use of high

energy rays to kill cancer cells. Treatments are usually 3 times a week, for

up to 6 weeks or longer.

3. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a method of treating cancer by using single drugs or

combination of drugs to kill cancerous cells, especially for spreading quickly

cancer cells or cancer cells have spread to other parts of body. In some case,

chemotherapy may be recommended before surgery and/or radiotherapy.


11/21

4. Phototherapy

Phototherapy is treatment of a disease by exposing to light, especially by

variously concentrated light rays or specific wavelengths. In one study,

researchers found that the best results of treating bladder cancer by

phototherapy were noted in tumors less than six mm. in diameter when

treated with 15 mg./kg dihematoporphyrin ether (DHE) and exposed to 100

to 180 minutes of visible light.(Source)

Read more at http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/treat/phototherapy.htm?

ktrack=kcplinkPorphyrin-sensitized photoradiation therapy (PSPT) is a

promising treatment for a variety of malignant tumors. Researchers found

that phototherapy have a potential for a new modality in treating recurrent

and resistant bladder cancer. Information gained form the basic studies will

provide a better understanding for mechanisms of porphyrin uptake,retention and photosensitization in tumor cells, thus providing a basis for

improving the treatment by increasing the efficacy and reducing the side

effects. The development and the information can also be useful in the

treatment of other tumors by PSPT.

5. Intravesical or instillation

Bladder instillations are treatments of putting drugs directly into the bladder

by inserting a catheter through the urethra, normally without using general

anesthesia. You are asked not to urine for a few hours. The treatment

sometimes cause temporary bleeding and bladder irritation.

6. Etc.

Nutritional Supplements

If you have read my previous article, Anti-Aging - How to Live Longer &

Healthier:Antioxidants, Free Radicals, Cancers, Diseases, You might

already know that vitamins and minerals play an important in preventing and

treating DNA mutation in cells division and replication. In fact, they are

vital for people with bladder cancer

1. Vitamin B6Study found that Vitamin B6 in several clinical trials in bladder cancer, may

benefit patients with bladder cancer by improving immune function fighting

against the forming of free radical and irregular cells growth causes of

bladder cancer.

2. Vitamin D
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2942706http://the-anti-aging-guide.blogspot.com/http://the-anti-aging-guide.blogspot.com/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2942706http://the-anti-aging-guide.blogspot.com/http://the-anti-aging-guide.blogspot.com/


12/21

Vitamin D is best known for its function in nehance the absorption of

calcium in preventing osteoporosis, but in bladder cancer, studies found that

exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) activates photosynthesis of vitamin D3 in

elevated levels in the body, lowering the risk of bladder cancers.

3. Vitamin E

Regular use of vitamin E supplement for longer than 10 years was associated

with a reduced risk of bladder cancer mortality , but regular use of shorter

duration was not.

4. Selenium

The lower the levels of selenium, the higher the risk of developing bladder

cancer, said lead researcher Nuria Malats, M.D., Ph.D., leader of the

Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology Group, Human Cancer Genetics

Program, Spanish National Cancer Research Centre, but the researchersnoted a significant protective effect of selenium, mainly among women,

which they believe may result from gender-specific differences in the

minerals accumulation and excretion in women.

5. Carotenoids

Researchers from UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, UT

Health Science Center School of Public Health, Houston, TX, Baylor

College of Medicine and Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX found that

further evidence for a chemopreventive role for carotenoidsby

demonstrating that high carotenoid intake is associated withan overalldecrease in BC risk and provided a reduction in riskfor smokers and among

individuals susceptible to DNA damage.These data may have important

implications for cancer prevention,especially for individuals susceptible to

DNA damage.

6. Combination of carotenoids, vitamin D , thiamin, niacin, and vitamin E

researchers found that in older individuals, the highest average intakes of the

above were all associated with a reduced bladder cancer risk. In smokers,

they also found that the highest intakes of vitamin E, carotenoids and niacin,were associated with a 42, 38, and 34 per cent reduction in bladder cancer

risk in heavy smokers.

7. phosphorus

Some study found that phosphorus intakes also reduce the risk in bladder

cancer.


13/21

Diet

1. calciferous vegetables

Studies found that increased intake of calciferous vegetables may slash the

risk of bladder cancer by 36 per cent, says new research that attributes the

benefits to the isothiocyanate content.

The Roswell Park researchers collected dietary data from 275 hospital-based

bladder cancer patients and 825 cancer-free people, and found that those

who consumed the highest consumption of raw cruciferous vegetables was

associated with a 36 per cent reduction ibladder cancer risk

Furthermore, stronger protective effects were observed among current and

heavy smokers with an intake of three or more servings of raw cruciferous

vegetables per month associated with a 54 and 40 per cent reduction,

respectively.

2. SoybeansReseachers found that genistein, soy phytochemical concentrate, and soy

protein isolate have the ability to inhibit the growth of transplantable murine

bladder cancer in vivo. Genistein, dietary soy phytochemical concentrate,

and dietary soy protein isolate reduced tumor size by 40%, 48%, and 37%,

respectively, as compared with controls.

3. Garlic

Chinese garlic-lovers are not the only ones to benefit from garlic's cancer-

fighting abilities, including bladder cancer. John Milner, Ph.d., from

Pennsylvania State University, points out in a review article tracking the

anti-cancer effects of garlic that "the potential benefits of garlic appear not to

be limited to a specific region of the world ..." when researchers noticed that

a certain region of this country had both an extraordinarily high garlic intake

and a surprisingly low rate of stomach cancer.

4. Green tea

Green tea is made from unfermented leaves and reportedly contains the

highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols the free

radical scavengers that limit the damaging of DNA alternation resulting inlessening the risk of cancer, including bladder cancer. Green tea also has

cancer-fighting properties and may cut off blood vessels that feed cancerous

tumors.

Most common Types of Cancer - Bladder Cancer In

Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective

Bladder cancer

Bladder cancer occurs when cells amass in the inner lining of the bladder

and form a malignant growth, or tumor. Cancer develops only in the bladderlining may become invasive, spreading through the bladder wall to nearby

organs such as the prostate gland in men or the uterus in women.

Symptoms

1. Traditional Chinese medicine indicated that urinary with blood is one of

the first symptom discovered by bladder cancer patient. Sometimes, red

blood cells can be viewed by naked eyes but most of the times, it required

blood test.

2. Back pain

3. Fluid retention in the kidney4. Fever

5. Other symptoms are similar to the conventional medicine.

Most patient with early bladder cancer my experience blood in urine with no

pain at all.

Risk Factors

1. Occupation

Occupation required to contact with chemical toxins daily and over a

prolonged period of time have a high risk of bladder cancer. Most workersdo not experience any symptom of bladder cancer until later in their life. We

are taking about the period over 30 years.

2. Smoking

Cigarette contains certain harmful chemicals which can cause cancer. In

China, due to social culture difference, the risk of male and female with

15/21

bladder cancer is 41%, 30% accordingly.

3. Age

The risk of bladder cancer increases with age. The older you are, the higher

the risk.

4. Sex

The risk of bladder cancer of male is 4 time higher than women

5. Race

Certain race are high risk of bladder cancer

6. Chemicals tryptophan

By products of tryptophan such as 3-hydroxy-2-amino-acetophenone and 3-

Hydroxyindazolecan promote the risk of bladder cancer due to reaction of -glucuronidases.

7. Diet

Diet high in saturated fat increases the risk of bladder cancer.

8. family history

Bladder cancer risk increase if a member of the direct family have bladder

cancer.

9. Infection

Prolonged infection or frequent infection increase the risk of bladder cancer.

10. Medication

Certain types of medication can promote the forming of bladder cancer.

11. Etc.

Causes of Bladder cancer in TCM

The traditional Chinese medicine defined bladder cancer is a healthcondition caused by

A. Heart Fire Shifting Downwards to the small intestine

Heart Fire is an excess problem, due to elevating yang or yang rise is out of

control. Since heart is associated with the fire, excessive yang leading to fire

and heat. If heart fire with extra heat move downward to the small intestine,

it affects the bladder in functioning of urinary secretion.

Foods

In traditional Chinese medicine, the herb, Ling Zhi (Reishi mushroom) is


20/21

viewed to contain certain substances which process the antibacteria,

antivirus and antitumor properties over thousands of year. In general public,

most mushrooms contain the same values but differing in volume.

1. Shiitake or Chinese black mushroom

Shiitake contains protein, glutamic acid, low cholesterol, -glucosidase and

18 amino acids. Some researchers found that shiitake mushroom may

stimulate the immune system,possess antibacterial properties, reduce
