Cancer

Researchers report that nearly one in five recently diagnosed lung cancer patients continues to light up, which can make them feel guilty or socially stigmatized.

"The biggest obstacle is fatalism, the belief that it is too late to quit smoking so why bother," said Kathryn E. Weaver, study lead author and assistant professor of social sciences and health policy at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C.

"There are benefits to be gained by quitting that have important implications for survival, response to treatments, and quality of life," she said.

The findings point to the need for family support, counseling and medication to help patients and/or family caregivers overcome their addiction and adopt healthy lifestyle choicesInstitute.

Surgery to remove a tumor may be required in some cases, while radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be required to kill cancer cells. A combination of treatments may also be used to treat patients with cancer. Doctors may also use other treatment options in treating patients. Diet and lifestyle changes may support a cancer-free recovery.
Cancer may be named by the location of the origin of the cancer cells, or by the location of the primary tumor. The cause of cancer is not fully understood, but risk factors may exist for certain types of cancer. Researchers also found that those who shopped daily were 27 percent less likely to die over the study period, compared with those who said they shopped once a week. Male daily shoppers were 28 percent less likely to die, and female daily shoppers were 23 percent less likely to die.

Pass it on: Elderly people who shop every day have a lower risk of dying over a 10-year period than those who don't shop as often.

  3. I have been using "the safe cig" e-cigarette for about 2 months now and I like it a lot. It has helped me cut back significantly on the number of marlboro lights I smoke a day and it comes in really handy in bars and at work. I think that the classic 18mg flavor tastes the closest to a marlboro light. They have excellent customer support and you can even track the shipments and choose express delivery for like 6 bucks extra. I have created a site that reviews a bunch of the more popular brands and I'd appreciate it if any of you could add your wisdom on these other brands, I want to keep the comments honest so I'm not going to post any fake reviews. Here is the address to my site http://electronic-cigs.org Best of luck to everybody!
