Ø  Cancer and Its Symptoms

Cancer is class of disease characterized by uncontrolled division of cells leading to formation of tumour mass.  The tumors may be benign or malignant. Benign tumors do not spread to other parts of body but malignant do. Malignant cells detach from primary tumor and move throughout body using blood or lymphatic stream. At certain point they enter new site of body, expanding and leading to metastasis. There are number of symptoms associated with cancer including abnormal bleeding, unexplained weight loss, lump formation, coughing etc. However, the symptoms depend on location of cancer. Some of the cancer and associated symptoms are given below:


v  Prostate or bladder cancer: Frequent or infrequent urination.
v  Breast cancer: Appearance of lump, pain.
v  Colon cancer: Frequent diarrhoea or constipation.
v  Hepatic or liver cancer: Weight loss, appetite loss, upper abdominal pain,
v  Brain cancer: Seizures, headache, vertigo, numbness.
v  Lung cancer: Coughing and shortness of breath, wheezing, hoarse voice, chest pain.
v  Oral Cancer: White patches inside mouth.
v  Skin Cancer: Change in skin wart or mole.

ؠؠ DIAGNOSIS
Some of the common tests performed by doctors to diagnose cancer are
1.       CT scan
2.       MRI
3.       PET scan
4.       Ultrasound scan
5.       X-ray
6.       Biopsy analysis





Ø  HOW IMMUNOTHERAPY CAN HELP
Our immune system shields us from remote attacking particles like microscopic organisms and infection yet malignancy cells get away from the invulnerable observation because of self and non-outside root. Under dynamic tumour conditions, insusceptible framework is stifled and resistant cells like dendritic cells neglect to develop and create hostile to tumour action. Immunotherapy is a treatment framework where the resistant framework is actuated to perceive and murder tumours inside body. Immunotherapy means to target tumour cells without harming the sound ones and have low or no harmfulness. Dendritic cells are one of the imperative segments of our insusceptible framework and assume essential part in antigen introduction to body invulnerable cells. Late advances in immunotherapeutic zone have prompted the development of dendritic cell based immunotherapeutic. It is a customized growth treatment including patient's own cells presented to malignancy antigens. These cells, when mix back to tolerant, create against tumour reaction. This innovation can be connected to different cancers.
