The most common type is called adenocarcinoma, which refers to the way the cancer looks under the microscope. There are several types of adenocarcinoma. Because other types of gastric cancer occur much less frequently, this article focuses on adenocarcinoma.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">Adenocarcinoma of the stomach is a common <a href="http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/cancer/overview.html"></a>cancer of the digestive tract worldwide, although it is relatively uncommon in the US. It occurs most frequently in men over 40 years old. The incidence of this form of gastric cancer is extremely high in Japan, Chile, and Iceland. The incidence of most types of gastric adenocarcinoma in the US has declined over the years. Experts think the decrease may be related to reduced intake of salted, cured, and smoked foods.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">However, the incidence of adenocarcinoma in the high part of the stomach where it connects with the esophagus has increased markedly, along with an increase in cancers of the lower esophagus. The reason for this increase is unknown.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">Diagnosis is often delayed by the absence of symptoms in early disease or by self-treatment of symptoms that may be common to other, less serious gastrointestinal disorders (bloating, gas, and a sense of fullness).</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">Risk factors for gastric cancer are a family history of gastric cancer, <textlink linktype="int" script="" projecttypeid="1" gencontentid="000229"> <em>Helicobacter pylori</em> </textlink> infection, blood type A, a history of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">pernicious anemia</span>, a history of chronic atrophic gastritis, a condition of decreased gastric acid, and a prior history of adenomatous gastric polyp.</p>intansabreenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02520688165134669994noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808753250038766431.post-85330940003340025122008-05-29T23:52:00.000-07:002008-05-29T23:55:41.098-07:00Prevention Cancer<h3 style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" id="Prevention"><span style="font-size:100%;">One of the best ways to prevent cancer is to not smoke or chew tobacco.

Not only that, meat consumption can also result in high medical bills, as was the case in the US.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">According to a 1995 report in </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;">Preventive Medicine</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> by a doctors group, Americans spends between US$28.6 bil (now worth about RM109 bil) and US$61.4 bil (now worth about RM233 bil) a year in medical costs for treatment of hypertension, heart disease, cancer and other illness attributed to meat consumption. (The report also says that eating meat is comparable to smoking tobacco and the health threat is "of a similar magnitude when you keep it up over a lifetime".)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">With all these evidence, some of you might want to avoid meat completely.

Daripada keempat-empat faktor itu, suhu menjadi faktor terpenting. Menggoreng, memanggang dan membarbeku makanan menghasilkan paling banyak HCAs memandangkan daging dimasak pada suhu yang amat tinggi. Daging merah yang dimasak di atas api pada suhu yang tinggi secara tiba-tiba akan menjadikan ianya bersifat karsinogenik. Contoh yang paling sesuai ialah satay. Namun begitu tahukah anda bahawa ada bahan yang boleh dimakan bersama untuk meneutralkan karsinogen dari proses ini iaitu timun. Secara tradisinya, timun memang dimakan bersama-sama satay. Bagaimana masyarakat terdahulu boleh mengetahui fakta tersebut yang baru diketahui akhir - akhir ini. Pelik bukan?<br /><br />____________________________________________________________________<br /><br />Four factors influence HCA formation : type of food, cooking method, temperature and time. Of the 4, temperature is the most important factor. According to the NCI, frying, broiling and barbecuing produce the largest a</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">mounts of HCAs because the meats are cooked at very high temperatures.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">"Well Done" Meat Linked To Stomach Cancer<br /><br /></span>In another NCI study which assessed the diets and cooking habits of 176 people diagnosed with stomach cancer and 503 people without cancer, it was found that people who :</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-family:verdana;">ate their beef "medium well" or "well done" had more than 3 times the risk of stomach cancer than those who ate their beef "rare" or "medium rare".</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-family:verdana;">ate beef 4 or more times a week had more than twice the risk of stomach cancer those who ate beef less frequently.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Hamburgers And Lymph Node Cancer</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/Entoo/phpZGMckT.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/Entoo/phpZGMckT.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">A study of 35,000 older women shows that those with diets high meat and animal fat , especially hamburger, have double the risk for lymph node cancer - also known as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Jika ya, berhati-hatilah. Menurut Institut Kanser Kebangsaan Amerika (NCI) daging barbeku dan bergoreng mengandungi mutagen (bahan-bahan kimia yang boleh merosakkan DNA) dan bahan-bahan karsinogen (sebatian yang boleh menyebabkan kanser) seperti heterocyclic amines (HCAs), dan polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs).<br /><br />_____________________________________________________________________<br /><br />Are barbecued beef, fried chicken and other charcoal-roasted or grilled meats your favourite foods? If so, beware. Actually, fried and barbecued meats contain mutagens (chemicals that may damage the DNA) and carcinogens (compounds shown to cause cancer) such as heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How The Chemicals Form?<br /><br /></span>HCAs are formed when amino acids (the building blocks of all proteins) and creatine (a chemical found in muscles) react at cooking temperatures. They are created in greater quantities when meats are cooked at high temperatures.<br /><br />PAHs are formed by burning fat during open flame cooking. The smoke resulting from the burnt fat contains PAHs that are deposited on the surface of the meat.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cancers In Animals<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span>In animal studies, mice, rats and monkeys fed HCAs in their diet had increased rates of certain cancers. The most abundant HCAs in cooked muscle meats, PhIP, causes lymphomas (cancer of the lymph system) in mice as well as mammary and large intestine tumors in rats. Another HCA (known as IQ) was found to cause liver cancers in the majority of monkeys to which it was fed. Both PhOP and IQ (which were absorbed into the monkeys' bodies) have also been found to be mutagenic, ie since the 1980s.)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Potential Cancer Risk To Humans<br /><br /></span><span>These research results have raised concerns that HCAs may also be human carcinogens. This is compounded by the results of another different study - in which human volunteers ate 320grams (about 10 ounces) of cooked ground meat patties - which show that most of the HCAs eaten were absorbed into the body.<br /><br />(In animal studies, most of the cancer - causing chemicals from meat eaten were found to be absorbed into the animals' bodies, where they were activated into cancer-causing chemicals, with only a small percentage excreted unchanged.)<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /></span></span></div>intansabreenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02520688165134669994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808753250038766431.post-16226404176424113932007-11-16T15:56:00.000-08:002007-11-24T01:27:44.083-08:00Berhenti Merokok Untuk Mengelakkan Kanser / Stop Smoking To Avoid Cancer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u281/Vyrus369/smoking.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u281/Vyrus369/smoking.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: verdana;">Merokok merupakan risiko kanser yang paling banyak diberikan publisiti.
