What is Cancer ?
At the simplest level, cancer or cancer cells are cells that
have lost the ability to follow the normal control that the body exerts on all
cells.
In our body we have billions and billions of cells and they
have different functions.
It's a very complicated process under incredibly phenomenal control, and if something goes wrong and that control is lost and particular cells escape the normal control mechanisms and they continue to grow and they may spread that's what we call cancer.

How Cancer Cell Grow ?
As those cells grow and divide, they turn into a mass or
they clump together and that's what we would call a tumor and then they can get
smart and then spread other places and that's what we call metastasis.
Where Cancer Cell occur in our Body ?
Cancer can actually occur anywhere in the body because there
are cells everywhere in the body.
In women, one of the most common cancers of course is breast
cancer.
In men, prostate cancer and in both men and women lung
cancer and colon cancer are common cancers.
One of the things we're now learning is that just because
you have breast cancer doesn't mean that your breast cancer is the same as the
person that's sitting next to you that may have breast cancer and therefore you
can get an individual treatment plan that's based on you as an individual and
your particular cancer type.
Once the diagnosis of cancer is made, of course, the next
obvious question is what do you do.
There are several things that are really relevant the stage
of the cancer which is information about where is the cancer.
You say it's a particular kind of cancer
- How much cancer is present?
- Has it spread?
- Is it in lymph nodes?
- Has it
spread to other organs of the body?
Cancer treatment actually is very complex and part of the
reason is because cancer is this constellation of over 200 different diseases.
The have some common characteristics but they're all very
different from each other.
The cancer
itself is not homogeneous.
There may be three or
four or five or six different slight variations in the cancer cells that are
there.
People ask, 'why, why does my cancer not go away, it shrunk
by seventy percent.
What's wrong with the other thirty
percent?
Well, it's
probably different subtype of that cancer which is going to require a
different kind of treatment.
Treatment of Cancer
Primary methods for treatment of cancer or surgery,
radiation and chemotherapy, Surgery is when you literally remove the cancer.
You make an incision, you find the cancer and you cut it
out.
Radiation is actually taking what we call photons, the same
thing that you use to take an x-ray picture in order to treat a focal area of
cancer.
Chemotherapy is using a drug or chemical that's either taken
by mouth as a pill or given through an IV into the vein targeting those cells
that are dividing more quickly.
Receiving a diagnosis of cancer can be a frightening thing.
The good news is that today is probably the most exciting
time in history in terms of the treatment of cancer options that didn't exist a
few months ago certainly didn't exist a few years ago.
Like the ability to genomically profile a tumor and to take
that individualized fingerprint of that cancer may direct us to tailor
treatment in very specific ways.
As we learn genetic abnormalities in individual cancers,
we're able to more effectively target those abnormalities for the individual
cancer, not only to improve the outcome for the patients relative to the
cancer, but also hopefully result in less side effects because the targets will
hopefully be less in the normal tissue and more in the cancer itself.
Cancer Drugs
New drugs have now been designed to teach the immune system how
to see the cancer cells for what they are so the immune system can actually do
the job at killing off those cells.
We've unlocked a key interaction in how cancer cells and
immune cells interact and by affecting that interaction teaches the immune cell
to be smarter and see the cancer cell for what it is and get rid of them.
Cancer Treatment Centers of America
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America we have a very
robust, integrative oncology program.
Integrative oncology is taking those conventional oncology treatments
and integrating those with therapies like acupuncture, naturopathic medicine,
chiropractic, nutrition, to blend those together and to create the most appropriate
treatment plan for that individual patient at that moment in time.
So having your symptoms and side effects under control,
having your nutritional status and your immune system as well as your energy supported
during treatment better positions you to fight the cancer and tolerate the
treatment course.
Cancer Treatment Centers of America has all their resources
under one roof. All of
these team members really try to address any sort of side effects or symptoms
that you may be having before they occur.
If we can keep your body strong, if we can keep your hope up
and you feeling strong emotionally and if we can keep your immune system in a
good place you're going to tolerate the treatment much better.
What type of Cancer you have?
No matter what cancer you have, this is a person who has a
life and family and friends and so forth and so my goal as an oncologist is to
not only get rid of the cancer, but for you to then live a normal life again.
I've been an oncologist now for over 30 years and the
options for treatment are the best that I've ever seen them.
They're more effective with fewer side effects and faster
recovery so that you can live as normal life as long as you can we've never had
better opportunities then we do today.
