pancreas cancer

Still cancer of the pancreas gland tumors that are difficult to control. Although the number of cases of this disease is not tied two percent of all cases of cancer. However, it came in ranked fifth in terms of the number of deaths caused by.
Pancreas and function
The pancreas in the abdomen, which is surrounded by colour and bowel and other members. And a length of 15 cm is almost like a bead of pears (from the point of broad and narrow on the other). Part of the broad Pancreas alleged head, and eventually called narrow tail, Section average allegedly object pancreas.
The pancreas is a gland and two Raestan: production succulents malignancies. And the production of hormones insulin. It contains extracts succulents proteins called enzymes which aid in the digestion of food, since this is a bizarre succulents when needed in the system of channels specified. The pipeline joins pancreas President yellow tube next to the liver and gall bladder, and these tubes are combined AN unload in the short twelve. Pancreatic hormones and helps the body to use the energy derived from food stores, for example helps insulin to control the amount of sugar (a source of energy) in the blood, called insulin and the pancreas hormones needed by the body, these hormones enter the blood stream and transmitted to all parts of the body.
Silent disease
According to d. Abdullah Abadi consultant tumors in the University of Jordan Hospital research indicate that there are more than a hundred different type of cancer, some can attack the pancreas, and begin more cancers in the pancreas pipes carrying juice extracts, and there is a rare type of pancreatic cancers begin in cells that produce insulin and other hormones. While pancreatic cancer grows, the tumor had ATTACKS Member Takes unknown such as stomach or intestinal minute, and had separated pancreas cancer cells from tumor and spread to other parts of the body such as the contract Lyme, liver and lung, or sometimes in the bones, and new tumors have the same kind of abnormal cells and the name the same tumor in the pancreas, for example, if cancer has spread to the liver, pancreas, the cancer cells in the liver cells called pancreatic cancer.
He adds d. Abadi: often called the name of pancreas cancer silent disease because it usually does not cause symptoms early, Valsrtan may grow for some time before it causes pressure in the abdomen, pain or other problems, and when the discovery of pancreas cancer may often be spread outside the pancreas depends onset of symptoms at the tumor site and size. During the growth and spread of cancer, had accompanied the highest abdominal pain and back, and this pain may become worse after the deals patient food. Cancer of the pancreas and cause nausea and loss of appetite, loss of weight and vulnerable and Limper years in the body. The doctor is only able to determine the reason personifies.
Diagnosis
And about how diagnosis Dr. Abadi:
The physician work clinical examination and scrutiny at signs of Public Health has requested blood tests, urine and other tests, usually requesting photographs of the Pancreas, where they assist in the diagnosis of pancreas cancer and to identify the sick, and show photo site and stage of cancer, which helps to determine how treatment. The pictures give the pancreas and nearby Member important evidence on the existence of cancer, and the sample tested is the best way to the doctor and confirmed. To determine the presence of cancer of the pancreas in the sample examination the doctor takes a sample fabric, and sent to a specialist for examination diseases under the microscope to detect the presence of cancer cells.
There are several methods for screening samples for the diagnosis of pancreas cancer, and one of those ways is to obtain a sample needle, and the other type is a sample Brush. In some cases, the doctor enters a flare in the form of tube in the abdomen through a small hole takes pancreas tissue for examination under the microscope, which can be seen within the abdomen to locate the tumor and stage, as can be during theorizing that the physician determines the need the need for a larger process of opening the abdomen to remove the tumor or to relieve the symptoms caused by cancer.
The d. Abdel Wahab Alandidjani Chief of the Division of Disease city of Jeddah King Abdul Aziz that more diseases originating in the pancreas cancer in the pipeline, which normally carry pancreatic juices, which have posed affects cancer cells responsible for production of hormone insulin.
D explains. Alandidjani how injured pancreas cancer, saying: It starts attacking all parts surrounding Kalamaa stomach and may extend to the lymphatic glands, liver, indicating that the disease is difficult to diagnose cancer of the pancreas because it is silent disease, as symptoms do not usually appear until after spreading from the pancreas to the parts surrounding it.
Treated ..
Recalls scientific research and studies on the treatment of cancer of the pancreas that most treatments, which started in the eighties and early nineties failed did not lead to the results thereof, but the only remedy that gives some hope in the patient's treatment is surgical excision. However, 85% of the injuries Unfortunately detected late, which makes these patients are not prepared for such surgeries, the patient is also regrettable that about 75% of patients undergoing surgical operations eradicate die later after the return of the disease to them again.
The British researchers announced at the University of Liverpool recently that the use of chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer disease after surgery to eradicate it can help to prolong the life of patients with this type of cancer. The researchers in their research, which was published in the magazine «Lancet medical» that patients who receive treatment chemical after surgery they live longer than other patients by up to about 40%.
In turn, the d. Nasim relaxation consultant tumors in Houston Cancer Center, United States reduces the effectiveness of chemical treatment of cancer of the pancreas disease, which researchers pay to use the new key to be an important input for the control of this silent malignant. Where most researchers agree that gene therapy may be more hope in the treatment of many diseases in the near future. This hope and talk to Dr. Saud would allow scientists to control the proliferation of tumour cells and the use of this genetic discouraging indiscriminate breeding of cancer cells, especially that this method has proven its effectiveness in the types of cancers. He added that the cancer of the pancreas ideal candidate for gene therapy because of the high proportion of genetic variables that have been discovered. For example, scientists isolate a gene (K-ras) and found that this gene helps to shift to natural cell-cell cancer, found that 90% of patients with pancreatic cancer this gene, and the researchers were able to isolate other genes work to curb this transformation of a normal cell to cancerous cell, has also found that some of these such as the BRCA2 gene, P52, for example ineffective in 95% of patients, and researchers believe they could control the proliferation of cancer cells in the event they were able to re-activate this gene, and believe that can carry cancer cells to respond better to chemotherapy if they rectify some of these genetic mistakes.
New hope ..
He adds d. Relaxation that the efforts of researchers did not stop where we showed scientists at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Research, Pennsylvania American discovering new carries with it new hope in the treatment of cancer of the pancreas, which enables them to locate a gene which is considered extremely important in the development of cancer , the experiments have included more than twenty family members suffering cancer of the pancreas and noticed changes in chromosome No. 4 or inherited in patients who suffer from cancer of the pancreas, and these variables were not present when members of these families who do not suffer from cancer, according to those scientists, they will be able to locate This gene on chromosome fourth period not exceeding year or two. It is hoped Dr Al. Bnot the importance of this gene widely in the treatment of cancer of the pancreas, and scientists need to study the work of gene diversity and then devise an effective remedy and development, and stresses such that there will be no possibility to provide such treatment before four or five years least.
Three methods of treatment
But the question that comes to mind is how many people would be addressed pancreas cancer patients now? D answer that. Alandidjani saying: There are three ways Chairperson of the sections that usually participate endocrine surgery and tumour stages of treatment, and share these methods:
First: general surgery: the required removal of the pancreas and nearby tissues him fully, in addition to the removal of the spleen and lymphatic glands, depending on the type of cancer, or removal of part or parts of the surrounding members such as the removal of part of the stomach and twelve, and this surgery is one of the major operations where The patient suffers pain after surgery, the patient is feeding through intravenous for a specified period of time. Because of the removal of the pancreas succulents that was posed less role in the digestion process where the patient suffers pain after surgery, the patient is feeding through intravenous for a specified period of time. Because of the removal of the pancreas succulents that was posed less role in the digestion process where the patient suffered diarrhoea and constant sense of satiety. And give medication to alleviate the symptoms.
Second: chemical treatment: If the doctor chose this treatment he used one type or several types. Chemotherapy and contribute to the eradication of cancer cells spread and the side-effects of this treatment is known, but differ and vary from person to person depending on the patient and for the same drugs given These effects depletion and skin rash, loss of appetite and loss of hair and others.
Third: radiotherapy: radiotherapy may be used before surgery or brachytherapy after or together sometimes. Where include high-energy rays shed on the site of cancer will take a long radiotherapy than 5 weeks to 7 weeks, and must be patient for a long period of rest after treatment because he felt tired as a result of treatment sessions, and show some side effects of this Kahmrar skin color and hair loss treatment area and vomiting The decrease in the number of white blood cells, but all these symptoms continue for a period of time and expire.
Etiology
D opinion. Abdullah Abadi, some researchers are studying the patterns of cancer incidence among the people, and looking for the most common factors in people with pancreatic cancer, because it would help researchers to know the risk factors that may lead to cancer of the pancreas, and the possible reasons:
Smoking: a factor President, risks injured pancreas cancer two to three times more than non-smokers.
Occupational hazard: Workers in certain jobs are susceptible to cancer of the pancreas because of exposure to carcinogens in the workplace such as chemical and leather industries and GPs hair and metal workers, painters and textile workers.
Age: increasing the likelihood of infection by the age of forty.
Incidence of diabetes: the more likelihood of exposure to cancer of the pancreas for diabetics and twice a reproduction.
Food: be more injuries when people who depend on food in fat and little Alfoak
