What is Immunotherapy ?

Dr. Harshad Raval MD [Hom] says that Immunotherapy is treatment that stimulates one’s own immune system to fight cancer. The immune system is your own natural defense system against disease. Biologic response modifiers and biologic therapy are other terms used to describe immunotherapy.

Dr. Harshad RAval MD [Hom] ays regarding immunotherapy as the “fourth modality” or forth way of treating cancer. The other three are surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Immunotherapy is sometimes used by itself, but is most often used as an adjuvant therapy (along with or after another therapy) to add to the anticancer effects of the main therapy.

HOW THE IMMUNE SYSTEM WORKS

Homeopathy medicine develop parallel develop vital force against cancer cells and strong support to disease tissue. And Its work immunbuster to all cell of over body. And strong vital forge become inactive cancer cell and fight against cancerous cells strongly. The body’s immune system is a collection of organs, specialized cells, and substances that helps protects the body from disease. The specialized cells and substances circulate throughout the body to protect the body from microorganisms (germs) that cause infections and from cancer.

To understand how the immune system works, think of the body as a country, and the immune system as the country’s defense forces. Think of viruses, bacteria, and cancer cell as hostile, foreign army, because they are not an original part of the body, and they want to use the body’s resources to serve their own purposes, and harm to the body in the process.

Microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites contain some substances also present in the human body’s own tissues. These germs contain foreign substances that are not normally present in the body. these substances cause the immune system to react to the germs, “recognizing” them as foreign. Anything that causes the immune system to react is called an antigen , from the Greek words anti , meaning against , and gen , meaning to produce. Antigens produce a reaction that can lead the immune system to destroy both the antigen and anything the antigen is attached to or part of, such as a bacterial cell or cancer cell.

Cancer cells have unusual substances on their outer surfaces that can act as antigens, marking the cells as different or abnormal. That difference acts as a red flag to the immune system cells that recognize and attack foreign substances found in the body. But, in general, the immune system is much better at recognizing germs than cancer cells. Germs are truly “foreign” to the body, and their cells differ from normal human cells. In contrast, the differences between normal cells and cancer cells are subtler. Continuing the military analogy, they are less like soldiers of an invading army and more like traitors within the rank of the human cell population.

The immune system ‘s response to antigens is a precisely coordinated process that uses the many types of cells that make up the immune system. Most cells of the immune system are referred to as lymphocytes. Several types of lymphocytes work together to attack cancer cells. These include B cells, T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. Antigen- presenting cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells are not lymphocytes, but work closely with lymphocytes to fight cancer.

B cell and plasma cells:

In Blood B cells are formed and develop in the bone marrow, which is the soft ,spongy inner part of some bones. B cells accumulate in lymph nodes and some internal organs such as the spleen. Lymph nodes are bean sized collections of immune system cells that are found through out the body and are interconnected by small vein-like channels called Lymphatic vessels. B cells cannot directly destroy germs or cancer cells by themselves ,but they play an important role in immune defenses by producing antibodies. When a B cell is getting ready to produce lots of antibody, it turns into another cell type called a plasma cell. Antibodies are large proteins that circulate throughout the body in the blood and lymphatic vessels. one way the immune system reacts to the foreign antigen (substance that does not belong in the body ) is by producing antibodies. The antibodies produced by this immune response will recognize and bind (attach) to the antigen, but not to other substances that are part of normal human cells and tissues. The binding of the antibody to an antigen does not directly destroy the cancer cell. But, antibody binding may mark the site of an undesirable cell or germ and set off a chain of events that can lead to its destruction. This destruction may involve other immune system cells such as macrophages that are attracted by the bound antibody. Or, an antibody stuck to the antigen may attract certain blood proteins known as complement proteins that set off a chain of reactions that destroys the cancer cell by punching holes in its outer membrane.

T cells:

lymphocytes that are formed in the bone marrow enter the bloodstream before they are fully mature. From the bloodstream, they will enter the thymus (a small gland in the chest in front of the heart and behind the breast bone) where they mature and gain new disease-fighting properties. Once they leave the thymus gland, they are known as T-cells (named from the T in thymus). T cells accumulate in the lymph nodes and spleen , where they work together with other immune system cells. Special molecules similar to antibodies are present on the surface of T cells, which allow them to recognize and react to parasites, cancer cells, and cells infected by viruses.

There are two main kind of T cells and they perform different tasks. One is the cytotoxic T lymphocyte. Cytotoxic means poisonous to a cell. These are also known as killer T cells. When a killer T cell comes in contact with the cancer cell it recognizes, it gives off substances that destroy the cancer cells. The other type of T cell is the helper T cell. These cells do not directly kill cancer cell or germs, but help B cells and cytotoxic T cells to work more effectively.

Antigen-presenting cells (APCs):

APCs are several types of. such as monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. These cells are important because they help lymphocytes recognize antigens on cancer cells.

Natural killer (NK) cells:

Lymphocytes called natural killer (NK) cells attach themselves to cancer cells through molecules on their outer surfaces sticking to the antigen on the cancer cells. Once they are in contact with the cancer cells, the NK cells may then separate from the cancer cell and go on to attack and kill other cancer cells.

Macrophages:

Macrophages ( from the Greek makros , meaning large, and phagein , meaning to eat) are attracted by the binding of antibody to antigen. Macrophages start out as monocytes that are produced by the bone marrow and released into the bloodstream. Some monocytes leave the bloodstream and enter tissues and organs to become macrophages capable of surrounding and “eating” cells. Both monocytes and macrophages can act as APCs to help start an immune response.

Dendritic Cells:

Dendritic cells are a type of antigen-presenting cell found in lymph nodes, the skin, and some internal organs.

HOW IMMUNE THERAPY HELPS

Dr Harshad Raval MD [hom] claims sometimes, a patient’s immune system will not recognize cancer cells as foreign because the cancer cells’ antigens are not different enough from those of normal cells to cause an immune reaction. Or, the immune system may recognize cancer cells, but provides a response that is not strong enough to destroy the cancer. Various kinds of immunotherapies have been designed to help the immune system recognize cancer cells as a target for attack, and to strengthen the attack so that it will destroy the cancer.

TYPES OF IMMUNOTHERAPY

Dr. Harshad Raval strongly says that immunotherapies can be divided into several broad categories:

Nonspecific immunotherapy’s and adjuvant

• Active specific immunotherapy’s (cancer vaccines)
• Passive immunotherapy’s (monoclonal antibodies)

Sometimes, doctors will use two or more of these immunotherapy options together. Some tumors are more effectively attacked by one kind of immune system cell than another, so doctors and researchers use that knowledge when designing and applying immunotherapies.

CANCER VACCINES (ACTIVE SPECIFIC IMMUNOTHERAPIES)

People are most familiar with vaccines that use weakened or killed viruses, bacteria, or other germs, and are given to healthy people to prevent an infectious disease. Doctors knew by the early 1800’s that smallpox, a serious disease of humans, could be prevented by intentionally exposing a person to a virus that caused a similar disease of cows, known as cowpox. Because the Latin word for cow is vacca , the cowpox virus was named vaccinia , and the process of intentionally exposing people to a disease to prevent more serious one became known as vaccination.

A cancer vaccine contains cancer cells, parts of cells, or chemically pure antigens and causes increased immune response against cancer cells present in the patient’s body. Cancer vaccines are considered active immunotherapies, because substances are injected into the patient that are meant to trigger an active response by the patient’s own immune system. Cancer vaccines cause the immune system to produce antibodies to one or several antigens, and/or to produce cytotoxic T lymphocytes to attack cancer cells that have those antigens. Vaccines may also be combined with nonspecific immunotherapy using additional substances or cells called adjuvants, to boost the immune response.

TUMOR CELL VACCINES

These vaccines use cancer cells obtained either from the patient being treated or from another patient. The tumor cells are killed, usually by radiation, before they are injected into the patient so that they cannot form more tumors. But, antigens on the tumor cell surfaces are still there, and they stimulate a specific immune system response. As a result, the patient’s cancer cells carrying these antigens are recognized and attacked. Doctors may also mix the dead tumor cells with other substances known to increase the immune response. These substances are referred to as non-specific adjuvants, meaning that the general boost they give to the immune system is meant to improve the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Dr. Harshad Raval MD{Hom] recommended one reason for using whole tumor cells in vaccines, instead of individual antigens, is that not all cancer antigens have been identified yet. Using the whole tumor cell may expose the patient’s immune system to a large number of antigens, including some that could not be produced and injected separately because they have not yet been discovered.

When the patient’s own tumor cells are used to create a vaccine, these cells typically do not cause a strong immune response to begin with and may even give off substances that suppress the immune system. Researchers have sought to overcome those problems by altering the patient’s tumor cells before reinjecting them. This may involve treatments with certain chemicals that alter substances on the cell surface, or the addition of specific DNA sequences that instruct the tumor cells to produce new substances that attract immune system cells. Cytokines (natural immune system hormones) that stimulate activity of immune system cells may be able to counteract the actions of the substances tumors give off to suppress the immune system. Researchers may treat patients with some cytokines as part of the vaccine process, and are looking at ways to get the body to produce more of those cytokines.

Because of the difficulty in making a new autologous vaccine for every patient, researchers looked at ways to create tumor cell vaccines that could be effective in any patient with a particular kind of cancer. One way of doing that is to use cells grown in the lab from a cancer originally removed from another patient. Those allogenic cells are killed and given to the patient, usually along with one or more adjuvant substances known to stimulate the growth or activity of immune system cells.

Tumor cell vaccines are being studied for use against several cancers, including melanoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, non Hodgkin’s lymphoma, stomach cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and astrocytoma etc.

Dr Harshad RavalMD{Hom] medicine is working successfully in this aspect

ANTIGEN VACCINE FOR HEREDITY CANCER

Antigen vaccines stimulate the immune system by using individual antigens rather than using whole tumor cells that contain many thousands of antigens. Scientists have recently discovered the genetic codes of many antigens. By using gene-splicing techniques, they can mass-produce these antigens in the lab. Or, some antigens can now be made entirely from synthetic chemicals. When these antigens are produced in the lab, scientists can change them in ways that make them more easily recognized by the immune system’s cells.

Dr. Harshad Raval MD{Hom] says, like Cancer his new technology means that large amounts of these very specific antigens can now be given to many patients. We know that some antigens cause an immune response in patients with certain cancers. Others produce immune reactions to more than one kind of cancer. Often scientists combine several antigens in each vaccine to cause a response to more than one of the antigens that may be present on cancer cells.

Antigen vaccines are being studied in patients with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma, pancreatic cancer, and other cancers.

DNA VACCINES

When antigens are injected into the body as a vaccine, they may produce the desired immune response at first, but often are less effective over time because antibodies rapidly attach to them and immune system cells destroy them. So, scientists have looked for a way to provide a steady supply of antigens to stimulate an ongoing immune response.

Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the material in the nucleus (center) of cells that contains the genetic code for proteins that cells produce. Instead of injecting antigens into the patient, scientists can now inject bits of DNA that instruct the patient’s cells to continuously produce certain antigens. These therapies are called DNA vaccines. Scientists may also remove cells from the patient, which are returned to the patient after being treated with DNA containing instructions on making a particular antigen. The altered cell then produces the antigen on an ongoing basis to keep the immune response strong.

Researchers have learned to use the tools of recombinant DNA technology (“gene splicing”) to do the same thing with substances other than tumor antigens (cytokines, for example). Not all immunotherapies using DNA are vaccines, technically speaking, but their goals are all the same — a steady supply of whatever substance is being used to stimulate the immune system. And, not all treatments using DNA are immunotherapies. Other types of gene therapy replace the damaged genes responsible for the cancer cell’s abnormal growth, or add new genes that make the cancer cells more sensitive to anticancer drugs.

IMMUNOTOXINS

Dr. Harshad Raval MD{Hom] says immunotoxins are made by attaching toxins (poisonous substances from plants or bacteria) to monoclonal antibodies. Various immunotoxins have been made by attaching bacterial toxins such as diphtheria toxin (DT) or Pseudomonas exotoxin (PT), or plant toxins such as ricin A or saporin to monoclonal antibodies.

Clinical trials of immunotoxins are in progress for people with leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, and other cancers.

Dr. Harshad RAval says that patient must conduct studies of new treatments to answer the following questions: What is the purpose of the study?

• What kinds of tests and treatments does the study involve?
• What does this treatment do?
• What is likely to happen to me with, or without, this new research treatment?
• What are my other choices and their advantages and disadvantages?
• How could the study affect my daily life?
• What side effects can I expect from the study? Can the side effects be controlled?
• Is the treatment likely to be helpful?
• Does this new type of treatment work?
• Does it work better than other treatments already available?
• What side effects does the treatment cause?
• Do the benefits outweigh the risks, including side effects?
• What type of long-term follow-up care is part of the study?
• Has the treatment been used to treat other types of cancers?
• In which patients is the treatment most likely to be helpful?
• Will I have to be hospitalized? If so, how often and for how long?
• Will the study cost me anything? Will any of the treatment be free?
• If I were harmed as a result of the research, what treatment would I be entitled to?

Pollutions and Environmental causes probably account for well over half of all cancer cases. Most environmental risks are determined by lifestyle choices (smoking, diet, etc.), while the rest arise in community and workplace settings. The degree of cancer hazard posed by these voluntary and involuntary risks depends on the concentration or intensity of the carcinogen and the exposure dose a person received. In situations where high levels of carcinogens are present and where exposures are extensive, significant hazards may exist, but where concentrations are low and exposures limited, hazards are often negligible. However, when low-dose exposures are widespread, they can represent significant public health hazards (for example, secondhand tobacco smoke). Strong regulatory control and constant attention to safe occupational practices are required to minimize the workplace potential for exposure to high-dose carcinogens.

Risk Management :

Risks are assessed to protect people against unsafe exposures and to set appropriate environmental standards. The risk assessment process has two steps. The first identifies the chemical or physical nature of a hazard and its cancer-producing potential, both in clinical and epidemiologic studies and in laboratory tests using animals or cell systems. Special attention is given to any evidence suggesting that cancer risk increases with increases in exposure. The second step measures the concentrations of the substance in the environment (air, water, food, etc.) and the extent to which people are exposed (how much they eat of a particular food, use a particular water source, etc.). Knowledge of how the body absorbs chemicals or is exposed to radiation is essential for such dose measurements.

Unfortunately, evidence of risk for most potential carcinogens is usually the result of high-dose experiments on animals or observations where high-dose exposures have occurred in humans. To use such information to set human safety standards, scientists must extrapolate from animals to humans and from high-dose to low-dose conditions. Because both extrapolations involve much uncertainty, conservative assumptions are used so that risk assessment will err on the side of safety. For cancer safety standards, only increased risks of one case or less per million. persons over a lifetime are usually acceptable.

Safety standards developed in this way for chemical or radiation exposures are the basis for federal regulatory activities at the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The application of laws and procedures by which standards are implemented and risks are controlled is called risk management.

Poisonous chemical :

Various chemicals (for example, benzene, asbestos, vinyl chloride, arsenic, and aflatoxin) show definite evidence of human carcinogenicity; others are considered probable human carcinogens based on evidence from animal experiments (for example, chloroform, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane [DDT], formaldehyde, polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs], polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). Often in the past, direct evidence of

human carcinogenicity has come from studies of workplace conditions involving sustained, high-close exposures. Occasionally, risks are greatly increased when particular exposures occur together (for example, asbestos exposure and cigarette smoking).

Ultraviolet Radiation :

Only high-frequency radiation-ionizing radiation (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation have been proven to cause human cancer. Exposure to sunlight (UV radiation) causes almost all cases of basal and squamous cell skin

cancer and is a major cause of skin melanoma. Disruption of the earth’s ozone layer by atmospheric chemical pollution (the “ozone hole”) may lead to rising levels of UV radiation.

Evidence that high-close IR (x-rays, radon, etc.) causes cancer comes from studies of atomic bomb survivors, patients receiving radiotherapy, and certain occupational groups (for example, uranium miners). Virtually any part of the body can be affected by IR, especially bone marrow and the thyroid gland. Diagnostic medical and dental x-rays are set at the lowest dose levels possible to minimize risk without losing image quality. Radon exposures in homes can increase lung cancer risk, especially in cigarette smokers; remedial actions may be needed if radon levels are too high.

Unknown Risks :

Public concern about environmental cancer risks often focuses on risks for which no carcinogenicity has been proven or on situations where known carcinogen exposures are at such low levels that risks are negligible. For example:

Pesticides. Many kinds of pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, etc.) are widely used in producing and marketing our food supply. Although high doses of some of these chemicals cause cancer in experimental animals, the very low concentrations found in some foods are generally well within established safety levels. Environmental pollution by slowly degraded pesticides such as DOT, a result of past agricultural practices, can lead to food chain bioaccumulation and persistent residues in body fat. Such residues have been suggested as a possible risk factor for breast cancer. Studies have shown that concentrations in tissue are low, however, and the evidence has not been conclusive. Continued research regarding pesticide use is essential for maximum food safety, improved food production through alternative pest control methods, and reduced pollution of the environment. In the meantime, pesticides play a valuable role in sustaining our food supply. When properly controlled, the minimal risks they pose are greatly overshadowed by the health benefits of a diverse diet rich in foods from plant sources.

Non-ionizing radiation. Electromagnetic radiation at frequencies below ionizing and ultraviolet levels has not been shown to cause cancer. While some epidemiologic studies suggest associations with cancer, others do not, and experimental studies have not yielded reproducible evidence of carcinogenic mechanisms. Low-frequency radiation includes radio waves, microwaves, and radar, as well as power frequency radiation arising from the electric and magnetic fields associated with electric currents (extremely low-frequency radiation).

Toxic wastes. Toxic wastes in dumpsites can threaten human health through the air, water, and soil pollution. Although many toxic chemicals contained in such wastes can be carcinogenic at high doses, most community exposures appear to involve very low or negligible dose levels. Clean-up of existing dump sites and close control of toxic.

The treatment of Cancer can be quite successful with Homeopathy, often in conjunction with allopathic medicine in advanced cases. In the early stages, particularly with breast and prostate, the success rate is close to 80% with compliance by the patient. Currently, we have over 200 active Cancer cases and this number reflects the results we are seeing. Over the last 10 years, there have been more than 12,00 Cancer cases that reflect long-term follow-up of those cured.

Definition

A primary brain tumor is a group (mass) of abnormal cells that start in the brain. This article focuses on primary Brain Tumor in adults.

See also:

• Brain tumor-Mata static (cancer that has spread to the brain)
• Brain tumor-children

Alternative Names

Glioblastoma multiform – adults; Ependymoma – adults; Glioma – adults; Astrocytoma – adults; Medulloblastoma – adults; Neuroglioma – adults; Oligodendroglioma – adults; Meningioma – adults; Cancer – brain tumor (adults)

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Primary brain tumors include any tumor that starts in the brain. Tumors may be confined to a small area, invasive (spread to nearby areas), benign (not cancerous), or malignant (cancerous).

Tumors can directly destroy brain cells. They can also indirectly damage cells by producing inflammation, compressing other parts of the brain as the tumor grows, causing swelling in the brain, and increasing pressure on the scalp.

Brain tumors are classified depending on the exact site of the tumor, the type of tissue involved, benign or malignant tendencies of the tumor, and other factors. Primary brain tumors can arise from the brain cells, the meanings (membranes around the brain), nerves, or glands.

The cause of primary brain tumors is unknown. This is because they are rare, there are many types, and there are many possible risk factors that could play a role. Exposure to some types of radiation, head injury, and hormone replacement therapy may be risk factors, as well as many others. The risk of using cell phones is hotly debated.

Some inherited conditions increase the risk of brain tumors, including neurofibromatosis, Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and Turcot’s syndrome.

Tumors may occur at any age, but many specific tumors have a particular age group in which they are most common. In adults, gliomas and meningiomas are most common.

SPECIFIC TUMOR TYPES

Gliomas are thought to be derived from glial cells such as astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells. The gliomas are subdivided into 3 types:

• Astrocytic tumors include astrocytomas (less malignant), anaplastic astrocytomas, and glioblastomas (most malignant). Astrocytomas can progress over time into more malignant forms, including glioblastoma.
• Oligodendroglial tumors also can vary from low grade to very malignant. Some primary brain tumors are composed of both astrocytic and oligodendrocytic tumors. These are called mixed gliomas.
• Glioblastomas are the most aggressive type of primary brain tumor. These may or may not arise from a prior lower grade primary brain tumor.

Meningiomas are another type of brain tumor. These tumors:

• Occur most commonly between the ages of 40-70
• Much more common in women.
• While 90% are benign, they still may cause devastating complications and death due to their size or location. Some are cancerous and aggressive.

Other primary brain tumors in adults are rare and include ependymomas, craniopharyngiomas, pituitary tumors, pineal gland tumors, and primary gem cell tumors of the brain.

Symptoms

The specific symptoms depend on the tumor’s size, location, degree of invasion, and related swelling. Headaches, seizures, weakness in one part of the body, and changes in the person’s mental functions are most common.

Symptoms may include:

• Headache — a persistent headache that is new for the person, worse on awakening
• Vomiting — possibly accompanied by nausea; more severe in the morning
• Personality and behavior changes
• Emotional instability, rapid emotional changes
• Loss of memory, impaired judgment
• Seizures that are new to the person
• Reduced alertness
• Double vision, decreased vision
• Hearing loss
• Deceased Sensation of a body area
• Weakness of a body area
• Speech difficulties
• Decreased coordination, clumsiness, falls
• Fever (sometimes)
• Weakness, Lethargy
• General ill feeling
• Descrbrats posture
• Decorticate posture

Additional symptoms that may be associated with primary brain tumors:

• Tongue problem
• Swallowing difficulty
• Impaired sense of smell
• Obesity
• Uncontrollable movement
• Dysfunctions movement
• Absent menstruation
• Hiccups
• Hand tremor
• Face paralysis
• Eye abnormalities
• Pupils Different sizes
• Uncontrollable movements
• eyelid drooping
• Confusion
• Breathing, absent temporarily

Un Signs and tests

A doctor can often identify signs and symptoms that are specific to the location of the tumor. Some tumors may not show symptoms until they are very large and cause a rapid decline in the person’s mental functions. Other tumors have symptoms that develop slowly.

Most brain tumors increase pressure within the skull and compress brain tissue because of their size and weight.

The following tests may confirm the presence of a brain tumor and identify its location:

• CT scan of the head
• MRI of the head
• EEG
• Examination of tissue removed from the tumor during surgery or CT-guided Biopsy (may confirm the exact type of tumor)
• Examination of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) may reveal cancerous cells

Leukemia is a group of bone marrow diseases involving an uncontrolled increase in white blood cells (leukocytes).

For information about a specific type of leukemia, see the following:

• Hairy cell leukemia
• Chronic hypogynous leukemia (CML)
• Chronic lymphocyte leukemia (CLL)
• Acute lymphocyte leukemia (ALL)
• Acute hypogynous leukemia (AML)

See also leukemia resources.

Symptoms

Symptoms of cancer depend on the type and location of the tumor. For example, lung cancer can cause coughing, shortness of breathing, or chest pain, while colon cancer often causes Diarrhea, Constipation, Coughing, and Blood in the stool

Some cancers may not have any symptoms at all. In some cancers, such as Gallbladder Cancer, symptoms often are not present until the disease has reached an advanced stage.

However, the following symptoms are common with most cancers:

• Fever
• Chills
• Night sweats
• Weight loss
• Loss of appetite
• Fatigue
• Malaise

Signs and tests

Like symptoms, the signs of cancer vary based on the type and location of the tumor. Common tests include the following:

• CT Scan
• Complete blood count (CBC)
• Blood chemistries
• Biopsy of the tumor
• Bone marrow Biopsy (for lymphoma or leukemia)
• Chest X-ray

Most cancers are diagnosed by biopsy. Depending on the location of the tumor, the biopsy may be a simple procedure or a serious operation. Most patients with cancer undergo CT scans to determine the exact location of the tumor or tumors.

A cancer diagnosis is difficult to cope with. It is important, however, that you discuss the type, size, and location of cancer with your doctor upon diagnosis. You also will want to ask about treatment options, along with their benefits and risks.

It’s a good idea to have someone with you at the doctor’s office to help you get through the diagnosis. If you have trouble asking questions after hearing about your diagnosis, the person you bring with you can ask them for you.

Definition

Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a malignancy of lymph tissue found in the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and bone marrow.

Alternative Names

Lymphoma – Hodgkin’s; Hodgkin’s disease; Cancer – Hodgkin’s lymphoma

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

The first sign of this cancer is often an enlarged lymph node which appears without a known cause. The disease can spread to nearby lymph nodes and later may spread to the lung, liver, or bone marrow.

The cause is not known. Hodgkin’s lymphoma is most common among people 15 to 35 and 50 to 70 years old.

Symptoms

• Painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin
• Fatigue
• Fever and chills
• Night sweats
• Weight loss
• Loss of appetite
• Generalized itching

Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease:

• Excessive sweating
• Skin blushing or flushing
• Neck pain
• Hair loss
• Flank Pain
• Clubbing of the fingers or toes
• Splenomegaly

Signs and tests

The disease may be diagnosed after:

• A lymph node biopsy
• A bone marrow biopsy
• A biopsy of suspected tissue
• Detection of Reed-Sternberg (Hodgkin’s lymphoma) cells by biopsy

A staging evaluation (tumor staging) may be done to determine the extent of the disease. The following procedures may be done:

• Physical examination
• CT scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis
• Bone marrow biopsy
• Blood chemistry tests
• PET scan

In some cases, abdominal surgery to take a piece of the liver and remove the spleen may be needed. However, because the other tests are now so good at detecting the spread of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, this surgery is usually unnecessary.

Hodgkin’s lymphoma may change the results of the following tests:

• Lymphocyte count
• Small bowel biopsy
• Schirmer’s test
• Peritoneal fluid analysis
• Mediastinoscopy with biopsy
• Gallium scan
• Ferritin
• Cytology exam of pleural fluid
• Cryoglobulins
• Bone marrow aspiration
• Blood Differential
• ACE levels

With appropriate treatment, more than 80% of people with stage I or II Hodgkin’s survive for at least 10 years. With widespread diseases, the treatment is more intense and the 5-year survival rate is about 60%.

Complications

• Other cancers
• Lung problems
• Liver failure
• Adverse effects of radiation and chemotherapy
• Inability to have children (sterility)

Alternative Names

Renal cancer; Kidney cancer; Hypernephroma; Adenocarcinoma of renal cells; Cancer – kidney

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Renal cell carcinoma affects about 3 in 10,000 people, resulting in about 32,000 new cases in the US per year. Every year, about 12,000 people in the US die from renal cell carcinoma. It occurs is most common in people between 50 and 70 years of age, and typically affects men.

The exact cause is unknown.
Risk factors include:

• Smoking
• Genetics
• Family history of the disease
• Dialysis treatment
• von Hippel-Lindau disease, a hereditary disease that affects the capillaries of the brain

The first symptom is usually blood in the urine. Sometimes both Kidneys are involved. The cancer spreads easily, most often to the Lungs and other organs. About one-third of patients have spread at the time of diagnosis.
Symptoms

• Blood in the urine
• Abdominal urine color (dark, rusty, or brown)
• Flank pain
• Back pain
• Abdominal pain
• Unintentional weight loss of more than 5% of body weight
• Emaciated, thin, malnourished appearance
• Enlargement of one testicle
• Swelling or enlargement of the abdomen

Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease:

• Vision abdominalities
• painless
• Excessive hair grown in females
• Constipation
• Cold intolerance

Signs and tests
Palpation of the abdomen may show a mass or organ enlargement, particularly of the kidney or liver. There may be a testicular varicocele in men.

• Complete blood count
• A urine test may show red blood cells
• Serum calcium levels may be high
• SGPT and alkaline phosphatase may be high
• A urine cytology
• Liver function test
• An ultrasound of the abdomen and kidney
• Kidney X-ray
• IVP
• Renal arteriography

The following tests may be performed to see if cancer has spread:

• An Abdominal ct scan may show a liver mass.
• An abdominal MRI can determine if cancer has spread to any surrounding blood vessels and whether it can be surgically removed.
• A Chest X-ray may show a mass in the chest.
• A Bone scan may show the involvement of the bones.

Expectations (prognosis)
The outcome varies depending on the degree of metastasis. The 5-year survival rate is around 60 – 75% if the tumor is in the early stages and has not spread outside the kidney. If it has metastasized to the lymph nodes, the 5-year survival is around 5 – 15%. If it has spread to other organs, the 5-year survival at less than 5%.
Complications

• Hypertension
• Metastasis of the cancer

Prevention
Stop smoking. Follow your health care provider’s recommendations in the treatment of kidney disorders, especially those that may require dialysis.
