Human liver cancer is the most common one of the most difficult treatment of the disease. With the scientific and technological progress, liver cancer diagnostic technology has been improving, sub-clinical stage liver cancer can be diagnosed. Early detection and removal as soon as possible, but also to the early and mid-term liver cancer patients has brought vitality. But those recurrence, and then again with a relapse and recurrence and to prevent the transfer of such issues; those who can not accept surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment or intervention in patients with advanced liver cancer and the postoperative physical rehabilitation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy after the toxicity of The treatment of such issues; Western medicine, it is helpless. At that time Chinese medicine treatment or combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment has great advantages. These difficulties are now on the solution for brief introduction.

Difficult one: pre-cancerous lesions of the prevention and treatment

1. Prevention

(1) to guide people to improve their living conditions, such as water sanitation, food hygiene, living conditions.

(2) treatment of active viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, and so on. With particular emphasis on hepatitis B and hepatitis C treatment.

2. Treatment

Actively seeking Chinese medicine treatment and control of pre-cancerous lesions progress.

(1) Bushen Yanggan, enhanced macrophage phagocytosis. Common side were: 2 to balls, fried, and so consistent. Hepatitis is less than suitable for liver and kidney, Yangan dry mouth, insomnia weak, soft Dengzheng knee pain, long-term use.

(2) Jianpi Yiqi, nourishing and promoting NK cell activity, commonly used to: Yang-ginseng soup ( "Punishment and the Council"), Shiquandabu soup. Suitable for liver disease of people falling into the frail, long-term use.

(3) heat Xiehuo antidote to enhance cellular immune function, a common side: Huanglianjiedu Decoction, Effects of Decoction, such as: suitable for viral hepatitis, are hot Kouzao, Diarrhea, yellowed Dengzheng, should be recovered For the addition and subtraction.

(4) Yiqi invigorate the spleen and liver and kidney replenishing, Huayu, such as promoting blood circulation can be anti-oxidation. Common side: four gentlemen's soup, Wuzi Yanzong pills, really solid pill (Polygonum multiflorum, Cistanche, Raspberry, Achyranthes, off-, Chinese wolfberry son), Buyanghuanwu soup. Through anti-oxidation and inhibit liver cell mutation.

The second difficulty: the recurrence prevention and treatment

It has been reported after radical resection of liver cancer, 1,3 and 5-year recurrence rate was 17.1%, 32.5% and 61.5%. No recurrence of the 5-year survival rate is much higher than the recurrence, respectively 48.9 percent and 11.0 percent. 2 years after the peak period for relapse. This shows that recurrent problem of a serious impact on long-term effect of liver cancer, prevention and treatment of postoperative recurrence has become the focus of current research.

(1) regular follow-up review: 1-2 years after February inspection once every two years or more can be 3-4 months, more than once every six months. Review include: AFP, B-ultrasound, CT scan, X-ray and liver function, and so on.

(2) the prevention of recurrence: the prevention of recurrence should be mainly in Chinese medicine, commonly used methods of prevention and drugs:

Jianpi Yiqi, anti-cancer ability to raise the body, a common side: Liujunzi soup, Buzhongyiqi soup can be modified with the permit application changes.

a Jianpi Shugan Qi, the prevention of recurrence of liver cancer. The election Xiaoyaosan addition and subtraction.

(3) recurrence of treatment: For liver cancer recurrence, should be early detection, early removal. Not with the choice of Western medicine, Chinese medicine with Western medicine or intervention in the treatment of reperfusion embolism, tumor could also consider narrowing after surgery for the treatment. Selection of reperfusion embolism can not intervene in the choice of treatment in Chinese medicine Differential Treatment.

Difficulties three: the transfer of liver cancer

Transfer of cancer research has been little progress in recent decades as medical biology and immunology of progress, the transfer of cancer research great progress has been made, first of all, invasive cancer is a prerequisite for the transfer, the transfer process and infiltration " Gene transfer "and" metastasis suppressor gene ", which can increase the transfer of tumor cells to induce tumor angiogenesis. In recent years the restrictions of Chinese medicine to prevent cancer metastasis to a lot of studies, popular is the limit tumor angiogenesis, enhance immune function, such as the study of Chinese medicine 'is commonly used in Chinese medicine: ginseng, astragalus, Cordyceps sinensis, dangshen, thorn 5 Canadian, Chinese wolfberry son, Epimedium, kiwifruit, Polygonum multiflorum, fungus, white tricks, Zhu Ling, mushrooms, Fuling, Ligustrum lucidum, cornus officinalis, Shengde Huang, psoralen, Bupleurum Powder, and so on.

Difficulties four: cancer pain Chinese medicine treatment

Pain is common symptoms of advanced liver cancer. Pain characteristics and the nature of the tumor site, size, growth rate and degree of differentiation vary, and often take pain treatment. Should follow the "three steps" and "on time, individual and oral administration," the pain principle. Under the guidance of this principle can also meet Chinese medicine and western medicine treatment with pain caused by side effects. Chinese medicine commonly used pain treatment are: internal medicine, external analgesics; Chinese Oral Health-Runchang catharsis; can effectively achieve therapeutic purposes.

Difficulties five: advanced liver cancer, loss of appetite - the evil of disease syndrome (CACS)

Differential Treatment

HCC will happen late inevitable evil of disease. Of the evil result of the reasons not entirely clear, consider consumption and cancer, cancer patients endocrine and metabolic disorders, nutritional intake of obstacles related to such factors, another hurt in anti-cancer treatment is also an important factor. Western medicine for diagnosis and treatment of CACS more generally are in nutritional support as the main means of treatment, but less effective, most only get temporary relief.

The CACS, according to Chinese medicine and more to Xulao Differential Treatment that Jiubing with serious illness, lost in conditioning, stolen or misused government rule, or Gongfa too, depletion and upright, and Jiubing injury viscera, and other relevant functions of qi and blood. Treatment of qi and blood of the five internal organs should distinguish between true, a permanent cure; distinguish what evil invasion carcinogenic to treating the symptoms.

The cancer of the liver is also known as primary or metastasis liver cancer is a relatively rare form of cancer in the Western world (1% of all cancers), but much more common in Africa and in parts of Asia (10% to 50% of all Cancer). It is much more common in men and the incidence increases with age. The cancer of the liver is rapidly fatal, usually within 6 months of the gastro-intestinal bleeding, liver failure or metastases.

Types of cancer in direct
Most primary tumors of the liver are known under the name hépatomes (primary and hepatozellulärem cancer less than cancer cells). Some primary schools cancer of the liver are the bile ducts and these are known under the name cholangiomas.Some rare cancer of the liver cells and contain Chuffer hepatoblastomas sarcoma (which is almost exclusively in children and are usually curable and considerable). Métastatique, cancer of the liver is 20 times more frequently than primitive cancer of the liver and cirrhosis, it is the first form of liver death.

Signs and symptoms
The cause cancer of the liver, not the symptoms normally until it is at an advanced stage.
The clinical effects of advanced cancer of the liver include:
1st The mass in the right upper part.
2nd Offers, nodular on the palpation of the liver
3rd The pain in the upper-right corner
4th Weight loss, loss of appetite, weakness, fever
5th Exclusive series jaundice or asides (fluid in the abdomen)

CAUSATION
The exact cause of liver cancer in adults is unknown in children, but it will be May a genetic disease. Carcinomas the liver May adults as a result of environmental exposure to carcinogens such as mold, contrast (no longer in operation), the androgens and estrogens, oral, hepatitis B or damage to the liver due to cirrhosis, caused by too much imbibing of alcohol .

DIAGNOSIS
The cancer of the liver is difficult to diagnose in the presence of liver cirrhosis, but several attempts can help to identify the combination of a study of imaging (ultrasound, CT or MRI) and a high blood-alpha fetoprotein the effectiveness of cancer diagnosis Liver, electrolyte studies show May at retention of sodium, a biopsy of the liver, a final diagnosis.

TREATMENT
The treatments for cancer of the liver are primitive by the measure (state) of illness, age, general health, the feelings and personal preferences. The surgery is the most effective treatment for cancer of the liver primitive, but that is not always possible because of the size or the location of the tumor. Radio-frequency ablation with an option for people with small tumors and non-hepatocellular for certain types of metastasis breast cancer in the liver. During this procedure, the hepatic artery (the artery of cancer of the liver, from their supply of blood) is safe, and the chemotherapy drugs are injected between the slope and the liver. CRYOABLATION May, an option for the use of people from primary school with metastasis breast cancer and liver. The deletion of the entire liver and replace a liver with another person is another form of cancer treatment for primary liver cancer.

Even if the treatment is not too much in improving the cancer of the liver itself, the pain and other signs and symptoms caused by the cancer of the liver can be treated, energetically to improve the quality of life. In general, the treatments intended for children as for adults, and the best approach depends on the date and type of cancer and the age of the child and general health.

About 30% -65% of cancers are diet-related, that means improper diet leads to many cancers. There is no doubt that fruits and vegetables are the most important protective factors of diet.

The Mechanism Of Anti-cancer

1. Antioxidant against free radicals. Fruits and vegetables are full of antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, flavonoids, selenium, plant phenols and so on. The most notable of which is lycopene found in tomatoes, it's anti-cancer effect is 2 times stronger than carotene (full in carrots, tomatoes, citrus fruits and other foods).

2.The reduction of carcinogens, absorption and activation. Vitamin C can prevent the synthesis of nitrite, which can be converted into powerful carcinogen nitrosamine. Dietary fiber can promote defecation, then reduce the absorption of carcinogens.

3.Sulfur compounds and carotenoids can inhibit DNA and protein synthesis, and promote normal cell differentiation. Retinol can also increase the body immunity against cancers. Vitamin E may also regulate apoptosis.

The Anti-cancer Members In Fruits And Vegetables

Lycopene is full in tomatoes, watermelons, and Cherries. The It has significant effect against prostate, lung and stomach cancers, also it does good for the prevention and treatment of the pancreas, colon, breast and uterine cancer.

Trans-resveratrol exists in grapes, can optional destroy cancer cells, and prevent the spread of cancer.

-carotene exists in carrots, can reduce the incidence of lung cancer.

Lentinan exists in lentinan mushrooms, has been proven a effective cancer inhibitor.

Since different fruits and vegetables contain different anti-cancer substances, the right way is to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, rather than look for a certain kind of anti-cancer vegetables.

In some recent animal studies vitamin D has strikingly reduced cancerous tumor growth. In addition, a large number of observational studies in people have linked low vitamin D consumption to an increase risk of cancer. The type of cancers linked are numerous: breast, rectum, esophagus, stomach, bladder, ovaries, prostate, kidney, uterus and lung; a substantial list of cancers to say the least.

Researchers at Creighton University in Omaha conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial, the most reliable form of clinical information obtained. Among 1,179 community-living, healthy, post-menopausal women, they reported last year in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that over the course of four years, those that took calcium and 1,100 International Units of vitamin D-3 developed roughly 80% fewer cancers than those that just took calcium or a placebo. What an extraordinary endorsement for the benefits of vitamin D!

Vitamin D is quickly becoming the powerhouse nutrient and for good reason. Vitamin D has significant benefits and with the latest findings we are discovering that the current RDA for vitamin D might be dramatically low. Currently the RDA for vitamin D is 400 I.U. Probably over the next few years, as the information uncovered by these types of studies is finalized and the information gets processed by the FDA, you will see a dramatic increase in the RDA for vitamin D.

Vitamin D is not just beneficial in reducing the risk of cancer. Vitamin D has many significant responsibilities in the body. These include...

*Maintaining Your Calcium Balance
*Immune Boosting
*Plays a role in Insulin Secretion
*Regulates Blood Pressure
*Disease Prevention

Many of you may know that vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin as opposed to a water-soluble vitamin like vitamin C for instance. The danger with fat-soluble vitamins is that it is possible to overdose and develop vitamin-toxicity. Healthy people rarely get vitamin D toxicity. One should not be concerned about this unless they are taking extremely high amounts consistently, such as 7,000 - 10,000 I.U.s. Also, don't worry about getting vitmain D toxicity due to overexposure of sunlight as this is very uncommon.

It is very difficult to get all the nutrients we need from the food we eat. Vitamin D is no exception and there are a wide range of vitamin D supplements in the marketplace. We strongly recommend getting your vitamin D in a non-synthetic vitamin D3 form and definitely take it with calcium in the proper ratios.

Vitamin D is tough to get from food especially for vegetarians. Here is a list of foods that are a natural source of vitamin D...

*Herring
*Catfish
*Salmon
*Mackerel
*Sardines
*Tuna
*Eel

...and the one natural source not found in water...

*Mushrooms

The more research being done on vitamin D, the more we are understanding its overall importance to our health.

A new MRI technique using sodium bicarbonate could detect a cancerous condition before tumor formation or tissue degeneration. This experimental alkalizing test measures tissue acidity and could gauge if medical or natural treatments are actually working.

A new imaging technique that relies on naturally occurring baking soda or sodium bicarbonate in the body could help pinpoint a cancerous condition earlier and quickly gauge if treatments are working, British researchers said on Wednesday.

The non-invasive method uses magnetic resonance imaging to measure changes in alkaline pH -- or acidity --in tissue that is often the hallmark of a cancerous condition and other conditions such as heart dis-ease and strokes, said Kevin Brindle of the University of Cambridge, who led the study.

Currently there are no safe ways to measure tissue pH levels in humans but doing so is important because tumors, for example, are far more acidic than surrounding tissue.

The urine pH is a simple and an inexpensive way to determine the acid/alkaline pH of the body tissues. When the morning urine pH is below 7.2 this indicates tissue acidosis and a potential for a cancerous condition in the body tissues.

"You are imaging not just tissue structure but tissue function," said Brindle, whose study is published in the journal Nature. "We wanted to measure tissue pH, which is a surrogate for dis-ease."

Disease is the expression of an over-acidic body and the causative factor in all symptoms.

"The researchers injected mice with a tagged form of sodium bicarbonate -- an alkali more commonly seen in baking soda -- that occurs naturally in the body and balances acidity of the body," Brindle said.

They used MRI to see how much of the tagged sodium bicarbonate was converted into carbon dioxide within the tumor. In more acidic tumors, more bicarbonate is converted into carbon dioxide.

The body tissues use sodium bicarbonate as a primary buffer to maintain the natural alkaline design of the tissues and to prevent degeneration of that specific tissue.

The researchers measured pH levels using an emerging technique called dynamic nuclear polarization that boosts MRI sensitivity more than 10,000 times.

The method developed by GE's GE Healthcare unit involves cooling down molecules to near absolute zero and then warming them up quickly -- a process that keeps them polarized and easier to detect as an image.

"MRI can pick up on the abnormal acidic pH levels found in cancerous tissues and it is possible that this could be used to pinpoint where the disease is present and when it is responding to treatment," Brindle said.

The next step is testing the technique in humans in early stage clinical trials expected to start in 2009, he added in a telephone interview.

Hyper-alkalization of the body tissues with sodium bicarbonate is the safest and most effective and natural way of reversing ANY cancerous condition.

There is currently research going on to figure out what causes cancer, which is the killer of millions of people worldwide.

Are you suffering with cancer or know someone who had fallen ill to it? This article goes into detail about 3 possible factors in the development of cancer. The factors are microorganisms, environmental toxins, and the body being out of balance.

Do Microbes Cause Cancer?

I wanted to probe the idea of cancer being started by microorganisms, or at least these microbes being a factor in the development of cancerous tissue. For years scientists were unaware of microbes even existing. After the invention of the microscope scientists could actually start to see microorganisms. There was another 200-year period where physicians knew about microbes, but didn't know they could play a role in the development of disease.

For some reason, many physicians didn't believe or weren't aware that certain kinds of microbes could be found in cancerous tissue. The cancerous tissue, which contained the microbes, had to be seen with a certain acid-fast tissue staining procedure. The same microbes found in cancerous tissue have also been seen in other diseases. For example, in scleroderma the same cancer microbes are found in that diseased area.

Are Environmental Toxins Causing Cancer?

Environmental toxins are also associated with causing cancer. There was a study done on volunteers who work in a laboratory where various chemicals are found in great abundance. Studies showed that in the nine volunteers ninety one industrial compounds, pollutants and other chemicals were found in their urine. The National Toxicology Program has named many of these toxins as cancer causing agents. Below are a few of these toxic compounds..

Dioxins-

these are organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. This toxin accumulates in animals with high fat content such as shellfish and fish.

Furans-

these are chemicals related to PCB'S and dioxins are linked to problems with the endocrine system

Metals-

Metallic particles of lead, mercury, aluminum, arsenic and cadmium accumulate in the soft tissues of the body. Mercury is found in tap water and mercury in canned tuna.

Phthales-

These is a chemical that soften plastics and lengthen shelf life of cosmetics, mousses, hair spray and fragrances

Out Of Balance

Studies have shown that when the human body is in acidic state it is more susceptible to various diseases such as cancer! In contrast, when the human body is in an alkaline state it's virtually impossible to succumb to any disease including cancer. As new information is documented I will update this article accordingly.
