Eat less could cut risk of cancer

The quest to create an effective anti-ageing pill receive a big boost from study that sheds light on why eating much less can help people live longer. Studies in a wide range of species from monkeys, to worms and mice have come to the same conclysion, eat all the nutritions necessary for a healthy life and cut calories to the bare minimum - half the normal daily amount and you could extent life span by up to half, pushing well over century, while cutting the risk of cancer,ovarian cancer, heart disease and strokes.

Another insight into how calorie restrition translates into a longer life is published by a team that has studied what happen in the body during these extreme diets. It is thought the effect could be mimicked with a long lifge pill. One theory on how calorie restrition slows agring is that it lowers free radical production by indycing the imformation of efficient mitochondria.

Ovarian cancer early detection saves lives.

History of colon cancer in the family is one of the risk for women of getting the disease. The risk of getting ovarian cancer is about 10% and endometrial cancer is about 50% because they carry a mismatch repair gene mutation. Women at high risk of ovarian cancer should be screened annually — with measurement of CA 125 level and transvaginal ultrasound examination.

Women with early-stage ovarian cancer if detected early has a high rate chance of survival as the disease has only affected the ovary. Most women when came to know that they affected with ovarian cancer they are already in stage two or three. This time the cancer has alredy spread from the ovary to the pelvis and the chances of survival is 50%. If detected at thr late stage where the disease has already spread to most parts of the body the chances of survival is very low. Early detection saves lives. There are a number of screening tests use currently to detected ovarian cancer. These include bimanual pelvic examination, ultrasound examination, and measurement of various circulating proteins.

ovarian cancer on my left ovary

Ovarian cancer has been quite common nowaday. I am a 47 and had a partial hysterectomy about 10 years ago after bad pap test, cone biopsies and severe bleeding for years. I was diagnosed with IBS and now have blood in my urine even after treatment with antibiotics for a UTI. My GP sent me for an ultrasound to rule out problems with my kidneys and bladder and found a 3cm cyst on my left ovary. When the GP called to tell me this, his nurse said it was nothing to worry about. After thinking about it I called back to have a copy of the report faxed to me. The report didn't say what type of cyst only the size. I am now waiting for my GYN to review the report and call me on Monday. I am more concerned because of my age and that previously gyn problems.

In 1990 I had a cone biopsy for severe Stage 3 dysplasia, but after that paps were normal and had 3 kids. Now I am having problems with cysts on my ovaries, adenomyosis, and fibroids. My urine also detected trace blood and still haven't found out why, but I suspect it is all related to my gyno problems since I was checked for everything else.

you will see that IBS is most always the easy answer for doctors. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you do not have IBS and you'll know why I say that after you read some of these women's stories. I am now in the process of seeing a gyno/onco b/c the pain of all my problems is excruciating and I'm trying to get some answers. One thing I've learned is to get copies of ALL the testing that has been done.
