Cancer Management :
Cancer, also known as a malignant tumour or malignant neoplasm, is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Not all tumours are cancerous; benign tumours do not spread to other parts of the body. Possible signs and symptoms include: a new lump, abnormal bleeding, a prolonged cough, unexplained weight loss, and a change in bowel movements among others. While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they may also occur due to other issues. There are over 100 different known cancers that affect humans.
Many cancers can be prevented by not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, not drinking too much alcohol, eating plenty of vegetables, fruits and whole grains, being vaccinated against certain infectious diseases, not eating too much processed and red meat, and avoiding too much exposure to sunlight. Early detection through screening is useful for cervical and colorectal cancer.
The benefits of screening in breast cancer are controversial. Cancer is often treated with some combination of radiation, surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Pain and symptom management are an important part of care.Palliative care is particularly important in those with advanced disease. The chance of survival depends on the type of cancer and extent at the start of treatment. In children under 15 at diagnosis the five-year survival rate in the developed world is on average 80%.
Homeopathy is one of the most common complementary therapies used by people with cancer. As with most types of complementary therapy, people use it because it may help them feel better or more in control of their situation. Some people choose homeopathy because it offers a completely different type of treatment compared to conventional medicine.
Homeopathy for people with cancer is promoted as a natural way to help you relax and cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. It is also promoted as a way of controlling symptoms and side effects such as pain, sickness and tiredness. Homeopaths believe it can treat a wide range of symptoms and conditions.
