But the link between the use of gadgets and brain cancer according to recent data has not been confirmed
When hearing the history of brain tumors known successful people in the prime of life, there is a feeling that the disease is younger and perhaps lurks at every turn. What is actually known researchers in the field of oncology, how prevalent cancers of the brain and how to diagnose them as early?
This was "KP" said a leading researcher at the First Cancer Research and Advisory Center, an expert in applied biomedical technology Andrei garage.
Who can give the impression that the disease has become younger and more frequent because on hearing the tragic stories of famous people in their prime. But these are isolated cases that do not allow us to speak about the changes in the statistics. In addition, the diagnosis of cancer today is more accessible and effective, therefore, more likely to become aware of cases of the disease in its early stages.
Here new difficulties arise. Even if you managed to find the tumor in the brain using magnetic resonance or computed tomography, it is also necessary to understand benign tumors or malignant. It turns out a biopsy, which in this case is itself a complex neurosurgery. In short, it often takes a serious delay with the detection and treatment of disease. If unable to diagnose a brain tumor and begin treatment on time, the five-year survival is 65 - 70%.
Is it possible to somehow define a high degree of susceptibility to the disease?
Genetic research is actively underway, it is now known that certain specific types of brain tumors associated with certain mutations in the genes. However, firstly, the degree of reliability is not very high, because brain cancer - a relatively rare disease, and a small sample of patients. Secondly, known genetic characteristics determine the development of the disease is not more than 10 - 15%. In such cases, you need to look closely at the family history in order to understand whether there is an unfavorable heredity.

CHILDREN - In Second Place, Adults - 3%:
The incidence of cancer, including brain, increases significantly with age - said the expert. - In children, the principle of cancer is less common, although the brain tumors are the second-leading childhood cancer after leukemia. As they get older the incidence of cancer of the brain waste in a more distant position, giving way to lung cancer, breast, colon and prostate. The average incidence of brain tumors in adults is from 1 to 3% instead of 20 - 25% in children.Who can give the impression that the disease has become younger and more frequent because on hearing the tragic stories of famous people in their prime.

How To Catch At An Early Stage:
However, early detection of brain tumors is still an extremely difficult task - continues Andrew garage. - The problem is that the body has a very complex structure and a variety of cell types in connection with this distinction more than 120 kinds of brain cancer. Depending on where the tumor, the symptoms can be completely different from in-coordination gait to deterioration of vision, hearing, memory, etc. And at the same time similar symptoms found in the mass of other neurological diseases. Therefore, patients often come to a neurologist and then to the oncologist.Here new difficulties arise.

| Expert Research: The Risk Of Brain Tumors Higher In Those Who Frequently Fly On Airplanes |
PLANES hazardous phone?:
What is the main risk factor?
According to the research, are available at the moment, the most important risk factor for the development of brain tumors (and not just the brain) is ionizing radiation. It destroys the DNA, and this leads to breakdowns, dangerous mutations in the genes that provoke the development of cancer. In practice, suffer from such radiation can those who live near nuclear power plants, where there is a risk of accidents, radioactive waste disposal and areas of high natural radiation background of the Earth. Also always "fonit" when extracting and processing minerals.
Of course, it affects the cosmic radiation, which we are beginning to actively "catch", flying on airplanes. Statistical data yet, but we can not exclude that the frequent air travel to a small extent may increase the risk of brain cancer.
But as radiation from mobile phones, which frightens many, it is not ionizing. Perhaps in the future we will get information about any negative effects of electromagnetic fields from cell phones, but is reliable evidence of their harmful effects on the brain is not.

The poor editing of the article made it very hard to read and understand.

ReplyDeleteIt is very likely that that frequent flyers or travelers on airplanes are “biologically and physically exposed to deeper and wider: Induction of Bodily and Functional Mutations (aka Brain Tumors or other cancers) that embedded in its DNA and so on so forth----compared to other “non-frequent Carcinogen Exposers” that physically/physiologically almost always Directed---FROM and BY Harmful and Mutating/Unnatural/Unhealthy Physical External Environmental Harmful Factors!
For instance, the constant/frequent “Adverse Bodily Changes in a person’s own bodily Equilibrium/Homeostasis” that biologically and physically directed from the “Adverse Changes/Mutations of External Atmospheric Pressure, Temperature, etc. in the physical environment;” especially during “High Elevation in the sky” when one frequently riding on airplanes and simultaneously being Exposed to the physical external Harsh/Harmful Sound of the airplane engine/motor/fan, etc. etc.---when such Harmful Physical Environmental Factors are “Not Designed--- FOR the Precious and Vital Human Body Systems, body functions, body compartments, body genetics, and so on---TO be Biologically and Functionally NOR NATURALLY Absorbed and Adapted to such External Harmful Environmental Factors and Impacts!”
The truth is whenever and however--- -external physical Harmful Environmental Factors come into play in a person’s physical vicinities (directly and nearby, etc.), the original genetic matrix and foundation of this person would naturally and biologically be more vulnerable or weak to fight off or eradicate the carcinogen exposers---given IF and WHEN THIS PERSON has already been exposed to countless carcinogen factors in the past or most of its own life; and while not having sufficient and Nutritious Intake of ample and Quality: Anti-oxidants and other Earth Elements (i.e. Minerals and Trace Minerals, Natural Vitamin E, Flaxseed Oil (Vital nutrients for neurons, nerves, nervous system, and etc. bodily systems); Amino Acids, etc.) along with doing other Vital things for Oneself in order to rid-off or “Turn-Off the Carcinogen Exposures in a timely fashion!”
Therefore, cancer per se is almost Entirely Rooted to External Physical Environmental Factors (aka Epi-Genetics) as opposed to the common and illogical belief and assumption (that if your parents or ancestors have such and such cancers or such cancer risk factors; then you are more and most likely and will develop cancer)!
