Symptoms of Gist Cancer

Symptoms of Gist Cancer

The lower portion of the uterus is called the cervix. It connects the uterus to the vagina. It is about five centimeters long, and has a tubular shape. During the childbirth the cervix widens for the passage of the baby. Also sperm needs to travel through the cervix for reaching the uterus. If the cells which constitute the cervix become enlarged the cervical cancer may occur and almost %99 of cervical cancers are caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). More than a 100 types of HPV has been diagnosed. But most of them are considered as low risk which means they don’t cause cervical cancer. Two types of HPV (HPV-16 – HPV-18) are considered as high risk and cause most cases of the cervix cancer. HPV probably is the most common sexually transmitted disease in fact almost %80 of the women are diagnosed with some type of HPV by the age 50. Regular screening helps prevention of cervical cancer. PAP and HPV tests are available for women who wants to be screened. Possible symptoms of cervical cancer include

• Abnormal bleeding
• Bleeding after sexual intercourse
• Pelvic pain not related to menstrual cycle
• Bleeding after pelvical examination
• Bleeding after entering menopause
• Bleeding between menstrual cycle
• Pain while urinating
• Having to urinate frequently

Smoking and Gist Cancer

Smoking People

Smoking increases mortality rates by 40% in people who smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes daily, by 70% in people who smoke 10-19 per day, by ninety percent in people who smoke 20-39 per day, and by 120% in people smoking two packs or daily. Research from the Canadian Lung Association found that smoking kills between 40,000 – 45,000, over the number of deaths caused accidental poisoning, AIDS, murder, fires, by traffic injuries and suicide. 50% of smokers may die of illness. Tobacco related diseases kill almost 438,000 United States taxpayers per year or 1,200 per day, making it the major cause of preventable death in the U.S.

Based on WHO tobacco will kill this century. Those who’ve ever smoked tobacco have an one in ten chance of developing cancer of the lung. Of related disorders a people risk is proportionate to quantity and the time duration the person carries on to smoke. Nevertheless, if an individual successfully stops smoking their risks progressively decrease as the harm inflicted on their bodies is repaired. The benefits of stopping smoking are immediate: heart rate, blood pressure level, and temperature return to myocardial infarction risk decreases normal selection and circulation improves. Those under 40 are 5 times less unlikely to have a myocardial infarction if they smoke.

Loss happens 2-3 times more frequently in smokers than in nonsmokers. The incidence of erection dysfunction is 85% higher in smokers than it’s in nonsmokers. Studies show that tobacco use contributes to many abortions among pregnant smokers. Both first hand and second hand smoke contribute an equal danger to the health of the fetus. There’s a significant correlation between Cot Death and smoking. A greater concentration of nicotine and cotinine is present in the lungs of such babies than in people who die of other causes. Many forms of cancer, especially cancer of the lung, cancer of the kidney, cancer of the larynx and neck and head, breast cancer, urinary bladder, esophagus, pancreas, and stomach. There’s evidence suggesting a higher risk of myeloid leukemia, squamous cell sinonasal cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer after an extended latency, childhood cancers of the gallurinary bladder, adrenal gland and small intestine. Coronary disease Atherosclerosis Stroke Peripheral blood vessel disease Respiratory diseases Common cold and bronchitis Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema and chronic bronchitis particularly Birth defects of pregnant smokers offspring Buerger’s disease Cataracts that can cause blindness Cognitive dysfunction higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease and decline in cognitive capabilities Reduced memory and cognitive capabilities in adolescent smokers Brain shrinkage Impotence.
