Lung cancer is the common form of cancer that occurs in the part of lungs and is mostly characterized by the existence of the malignant tumors. Commonly it is the bronchogenic carcinoma all about 90%. The Lung cancer is one of the main lethal of all the cancers worldwide; it leads up to 3 million deaths per annum. Merely one in ten of the lung cancer patients are diagnosed with this virus that would survive the next five years. Even though the lung cancer was before an illness that exaggerated predominately in most of the men, the lung cancer pace for women has increased in the previous few decades that has been accredited to the mounting ratio of the female to most male smokers. Additional women die of the lung cancer than some other cancer that includes the uterine cancers, breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

Present researches designate that the aspect with the maximum impact on danger of lung cancer is lasting exposure to the inhaled carcinogens. The main common way of such exposure is through the tobacco smoke. The Cigarette smoking is the major significant reason of the lung cancer. Study as far back as 1950s obviously established this connection. Cigarette smoking contains additional than 4000 chemicals. Numerous of which are been identified as the causing cancer. An individual who smokes further than 1 pack of cigarettes for each day has a maximum risk of rising lung cancer "20-25" times greater than one who has by no means smoked.

Various Air pollution from the motor vehicles, factory, and extra sources may add to the risk for the lung cancer, other than the Asbestos experience increases the jeopardy of lung cancer with 9 times. The combination of the asbestos exposure and various cigarette smoking compounds the danger by as lot as 50 times. The degree of raise has not been recognized accurately. Convinced occupations where the exposure to arsenic, aromatic hydrocarbons, chromium, nickel and ethers occur might increase the danger of the lung cancer. An individual who has have lung cancer is further likely to build up second lung cancer than average person is to build up the first lung cancer. One of the best treatments of the lung cancer much depends on whether NSCLC or SCLC is present. The treatment also depends on the tumor stage, mainly in "NSCLC". A person's universal physical form is also taken into the account. The majority widely used therapy for the lung cancer is surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

Doctors can get very fed up because they make such small amounts for providing the reports and updates to insurance carriers. They are routinely asked to produce copies of their clinical notes and records and we see doctors becoming more and more irritated by the process. We help by stepping in and saying: Doctor, you only have to deal with us

And we will provide the updates to the insurer only as required. We will provide the information semi-annually or yearly, rather than weekly, for example. By negotiating this, we help the doctors who are then able to spend their time caring for the patient.

The doctor is the major supporter of the patient and really what the family doctor says is so persuasive to the claimant’s case. The family doctor sees the patient weekly and says this fellow is still having significant problems. That level of information is difficult for the insurer to overcome, although they will try to do so.

It’s critical that the claimant make regular visits to his doctor. Insurers look at those hospital and office visits closely. If someone is only seeing his doctor every six months, the insurer sees that the case is not a severe one.

It takes a team to make this work for our clients. One of the things that we do in our practice is to team up with the medical profession more and more. We are saying, look we are part of your patient treatment strategy and we should be talking a lot about how these claims are being handled and how they are being administered, so that everybody is on the same page. The doctor really has to be convinced, as well, that the lawyer representing his patient is competent to make the case for the patient because that will make a huge difference to the patient, in terms of the patient’s physical and mental welfare.

Because there is really only one major insurer, we see them sending people who claim benefits to the same group of experts, again and again. Reports from claimants say that these experts put a lot of pressure on them to admit that they are healthy and are only malingering and that they should just get back to work. This is why they need the support of their family doctor and experts that a lawyer can bring into the case, to protect their interests against the insurance carrier.

Sometimes a person gets called upon to help a friend. However, missing work to help the friend causes them to have a problem with their boss. They cannot afford to take a day off without pay, and they cannot afford to try and spend money at the doctor or clinic, trying to convince them that they were sick or had some valid medical excuse for missing work. They will need a doctor?s note when they return to work.

It can be a tough spot for the person who is trying to be a good friend and help. They don?t want to risk their job, but duty calls so to speak. Here is a real example that one person recently reported. A friend called them from the side of the road at around 10:00 pm to say they had just had a car wreck. Their car was totaled, but they were ok. They just needed a ride home. Of course the caller was 65 miles away. The friend feels he must go and get his friend-in-need. After he gets there, it is clear to see that his friend-in-need is actually going to require medical attention. The shock of the wreck has worn off and he is in a lot of pain. They go to the nearest hospital and spend the next several hours getting medical treatment for his sick and injured friend. Now the doctor gives his friend a hospital doctors excuse, because he was the patient, but not the good Samaritan who helped him!

Finally he gets back home. He has had no sleep and worse yet, his company has a policy that any absence from work must be excused by a written doctor?s excuse. The penalty for not bringing the doctors note is termination. The good Samaritan friend has a real problem because he cannot afford to lose his job simply because he helped a friend in need and did not get a slip from the medical center too. He is understandably upset by the situation. Not really is he mad at his friend, he is mad at the people who create policy at his work because a doctors excuse for any absence simply does not always make sense.

So he does the only thing that he thinks he can do. He goes online and he looks for a blank fake doctors sick note template that he can download, print out and use to save his job and his paycheck. He has to look at a number of templates before he finds one that he believes will be authentic enough to actually release him from work. He also has to have the doctor?s excuse with two copies. One for his boss and one for the HR department. This means that whatever form he gets, he has to make sure he can get a copy of it. He is concerned that the form for the doctor?s excuse won?t look like the real thing, so he looks very carefully at any sample the various websites provide. Finally he finds an example that works well and is to his liking. He downloads that doctor excuse template, does what the instructions say, prints it and solves his problem.

By epidemiological studies and by direct trials, much evidence has by now been gathered about the cancer prevention effects of certain diet measures, of specific food sources and of specific supplements of natural substances.

GENERAL DIET ADVICES

A diet with the aim of preventing cancer is generally the same as a diet to prevent heart disease and other diseases. Such a diet consists of:

-Whole cereals, peas, beans, vegetables, fruit, fish, mushrooms, fouls and seafood, and just a moderate amount of red meat,

-Just a moderate amount of fat.

-Ideally most fat one eats, should be of the type mono-unsaturated. One also needs some poly-unsaturated fat of the types omega-3, and omega 6, but not too much of omega-6. The consumption of saturated fat should be moderate.

• In order to achieve right fat balance, much of the fat supply should come from a blending of sources like olive, olive oil, canola oil, nuts, nut oil, sunflower, sunflower oil, fish and fish oil.





• You can include soy oil and corn oil in the diet, but do not only use such oil types in order to avoid getting too much poly-unsaturated fat of the omega-6-type.

-Just a very moderate amount of butter, coconut oil and palm oil. A high consumption of these fat sources gives you too much saturated fat.

-Avoid altogether fat that has been chemically altered, giving so-called trans-fat. This type of fat is often found in margarine, cookies, snacks, fast food and other pre-made food.

-Just a very moderate amount of sugar, refined flour or refined cereals.

-Just a moderate consumption of tranquilizers and stimulants as Alcohol and caffeine.

• Just a moderate amount of salt in the food. However, in warm weather and by hard physical work, you will need more salt.

SPECIFIC FOODS AND DRINKS TO USE

A diet with generally much fruit and vegetables has proven to help prevent cancer. Optimally a person should eat five fruits or vegetables each day, and those should be raw or carefully cooked, so that the nutrients are not washed out by the cooking.

Generally plants, fruits and spices with a strong colour or a strong taste have cancer preventing effects because of the contents of bioflavonids and other anti-oxidants.

Broccoli, cabbage, mustard, kale, and cauliflower are vegetables with proven strong cancer preventing effects, probably due to the content of indole-3-carbinole.

Onion and garlic are also thought to help prevent cancer.

Whole grain and bread made of whole grain will help prevent colon cancer because of the fibre content and possibly also because of the vitamins and minerals contained.

Red peppers give a protecting effect against prostate cancer.

Eating fish, and especially fat fish, some times each week also have a protecting effect against prostate cancer.

Evidence points to the conclusion that green tea can help prevent cancer. However studies so far undertaken do not sort out all other variables that may give the same result.

Some studies have indicated that drinking coffee reduces the incidence of cancer, but others studies have thrown doubt upon these results.

SUPPLEMENTS OF VITAMINS AND OTHER SUBSTANCES

Her are listed the most important cancer preventing effects suggested by results from recent projects. However, research are going on, and these results are not yet complete or absolutely certain.

These substances give general cancer prevention effects: Sulforaphanes found in broccoli and other crusiferous vegetables.

Colo-rectal cancer: These substances help protect against colo-rectal cancer: Alfa-tocoferole (a kind of Vitamin E), Vitamin B-6  (pyridoxine), Folic acid / folate in combination with other B-vitamins, Selenium, Indol-3-carbinol from crusiferous vegetables, Genistein from soy, and possibly also vitamin D.

Gastric cancer: Substances that help prevent gastric cancer, and even help cure changes that can evolve into gastric cancer are: Vitamin C, Beta-carotene, (a precursor of alfa-tocoferole ), Indol-3-carbinol from crusiferous vegetables, Genistein from soy.

Breast Cancer: The incidence of breast cancer can be lowered by: Folic acid / folate, Vitamin B-6  (pyridoxine), Selenium, and possibly vitamin D.

Prostate Cancer: These substances seem to help protect against Prostate cancer: Celenium and Alfa-tocoferole (a kind of Vitamine E). A long study is under way, but the results from the study are not conclusive yet.

Bladder cancer: The chance of getting bladder cancer is lowered by: Alfa-tocoferole (a kind of Vitamine E).

Lung cancer: Substances that gives protection against Lung Cancer are: Isoflavones from soy. Indol-3-carbinol from boccoli and other crusiferous vegetables, Genistein from soy, and possibly Vitamin D.

Results from research projects suggest that supplements added to the diet to prevent cancer should contain many working substances derived from natural sources, and that it is not wise to use heavy doses of just one substance.

NUTRIENTS THAT MAY HAVE THE OPPOSITE EFFECT

Beta-carotene and vitamine A supplements may increase the chance for heavy smokers of getting lung cancer and other cancers caused by smoking, according to results from epidemologic studies.

However, these vitamins in the food does not increase this risk. It is not clear what effect beta-carotene have on lung cancer in combination with other supplements or by non-smokers. The results from these studies are also controversial.

More and more often, I come across cases of nonsmokers who develop lung cancer. My attention is always drawn to news of this nature because my husband passed away at the age of 51 from brain and lung cancer. He never smoked a day in his life.

The complacency non-smokers have shared over the years is no longer a viable option. Smokers and non-smokers alike are vulnerable to a disease which is largely incurable. Among patients with lung cancer, only about 14% live five years after their diagnosis.

In the face of a disease that seems to have neither rhyme nor reason, what can we do to protect ourselves? First, assess your risk for lung cancer; then take measures to prevent the disease.

What are the risk factors for lung cancer?

Gender: Unfortunately, women seem to be more vulnerable to lung cancer. Research has shown that female smokers are more susceptible to the cancer-causing chemicals found in cigarettes. In another study, a gene linked to abnormal lung cancer cell growth was found to be more active in women than in men. It did not matter whether the women smoked or not.

A family history of lung cancer: Evidence suggests that there is a lung cancer gene which predisposes offspring to develop lung cancer. However, the evidence is far from conclusive as the situation is made difficult by the fact that offspring of smokers have been exposed to a smoking environment since childhood and would therefore have a greater risk for developing the disease.

Scarring from previous lung disease : Scarring in lungs caused by tuberculosis or other lung disease can be a risk factor for lung cancer.

Second-hand smoke: Exposure to second-hand smoke has been shown to be a definite risk factor. Your risk increases by 30 percent from daily exposure to second-hand smoke. This is probably the most significant risk factor for lung cancer in non-smokers.

Exposure to radon: Radon is an odorless gas than can seep out of the soil into buildings. Worse yet, the gas can seep from the soil into water near residential communities. Radon has been implicated as a potential cause of lung cancer.

Air pollution: Long-term occupational exposure to diesel exhaust fumes may increase lung cancer risk by 47%. Air pollution in general is a risk factor in the general population. Swedish researchers estimate that as many as 1 in 10 cases of lung cancer may be caused by air pollution in the Swedish capital city, Stockholm.

Past Cancer Treatment: Researchers in Sweden who looked at the medical records of 140,000 breast cancer patients found that there was an increase of lung cancer 5 to 20 years after breast cancer treatment. Suspicion is that radiotherapy in the chest area may have made the lungs more susceptible to the disease.

Estrogen Replacement Therapy: According to researchers at the University of Pittsburg, estrogen may fuel the growth of non small-cell lung cancer.

What preventative measures can we take?

Diet: An apple a day may keep lung cancer away. A Finnish study suggests that apples not only keep doctors away, but provide protection for the lungs as well. This study found that people who ate the most apples were 58 % less likely to develop lung cancer. Other studies suggest that lung cancer risk is lower among smokers and non smokers who ate at least 5 servings of vegetables and fruits daily.

Beta Carotene: A high intake of beta carotene compounds can lower your lung cancer risk; however, studies also show that the beta carotene is only effective when the compounds are ingested from whole foods such as peaches, melon, carrots, mangoes, dark leafy vegetables, squash etc. The opposite effect seems to take place with beta carotene supplements. A Finnish study reported 18% more lung cancer cases among heavy smokers who took beta carotene supplements. And a National Cancer Study on the effects of vitamin A and beta carotene was halted because smokers taking the supplements had 28% more lung cancer than those taking a placebo.

Selenium and Vitamin C: Taking selenium supplements on a long- term basis has been shown to decrease the incidence of lung cancer. In one study, people taking 55-200 mcg of the mineral daily had a 46% lower rate of lung cancer. As well, studies indicate that people who take less than 90 mg of vitamin C on a daily basis may have a 90% higher risk of lung cancer than those who take 140mg or more.

Avoid second-hand smoke and check your house for radon.

There are never guarantees in life, but it makes perfectly good sense to take some preventative measures as these can not only improve your overall quality of health and life but also prevent lung cancer.
