Ovarian Cancer gastric cancer, Will consuming dairy foods increasemy risk for ovarian cancer recurring? posted 11/02.
http://www.cancerrd.com/FAQs/FAQ56.htm

Extractions: I have read in several places that consuming milk products might cause ovarian cancer. The women in my ovarian cancer support group endlessly debate if they should be avoiding all dairy products. Can you shed any light on if there is any truth to this possibility and if avoiding milk and other dairy products will help improve the odds for beating my ovarian cancer? I commend you for seeking more information to help answer this controversial, yet very intriguing, question. It is not possible to give a brief or simple answer to your question. Let me give you some background information first. In 1989, Daniel Cramer and his associates at Harvard University published a tantalizing clue to a possible origin of ovarian cancer. Not only was ovarian cancer more common in countries with very high yogurt and lactose consumption, but women with this disease were significantly more likely to have lower activity of an enzyme called GALT, another enzyme that metabolizes galactose. It was a provocative finding because galactose appears to damage ovarian egg cells, causing ovarian failure. Premature ovarian failure is a precursor to ovarian cancer (Cramer DW, Lancet, 1989, Jul 8:2(8654):66-71). Liu and associates from Cedar Sinai Medical Center, CA have shown

Extractions: Diana, What 5 things have you changed in your diet that you think are the most important for enhancing the odds for long-term cancer recovery? Another great question. I really had to think about this to try to narrow it down to just 5 changes. Here they are: 1. Found ways to increase my intake of *healthy fats* (i.e., the omega-3 fatty acids and monounsatuated fatty acids). I did this by: a) changing my fish consumption from lean fish (like orange roughy) to fatty fish (like salmon) and eat fish twice weekly instead of just once. d) I also began to feel comfortable about consuming high fat foods like avocados, nuts, and peanut/soynut butter. 2. Increased my fruit and veggie intake from 5-a-day to a minimum of 9 per day (everyday!). In addition, I began eating a much wider variety than ever before (don't just stick to the usual favorites of apples, oranges, and bananas). Make sure you are eating green leafy veggies every day.

Stomach cancer also known as gastric cancer, is a disease in which malignant cancer cells are found in the tissues of the stomach. It occurs most frequently in men over 40 years of age. Approximately 12,000 people in the U.K. are diagnosed with this disease each year. Stomach cancer arises from changes in the internal lining of the stomach, the part that is responsible for secreting the acid, fluid and other chemicals. This layer is complicated because as well as having to secrete, it must also protect itself from the acid that it produces, otherwise it would damage the stomach lining and cause an ulcer. What causes stomach cancer? The exact cause of stomach cancer is unknown. However, there are many risk factors thought to play a part in the cells becoming cancerous. These are as follows: Infection with Helicobacter Pylori (H.pylori) a germ that causes inflammation in the stomach. It is the main cause of peptic ulcers but is also believed to play an important part in causing stomach cancer (

Extractions: Suggested reading G astric cancer is more common than esophageal cancer in western countries but is less fatal. An estimated 21,700 new cases of gastric cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in the year 2001, with 12,800 deaths attributable to this cancer. Worldwide, stomach cancer is the second most common neoplasm, representing approximately 10% of newly diagnosed malignancies and accounting for more than 12% of cancer deaths. Incidence and mortality have been declining in most countries; the age-adjusted risk (world estimate) fell 5% from 1985-1990. Gastric cancer is defined as any malignant tumor arising from the region extending between the gastroesophageal (GE) junction and the pylorus. It may not be possible to determine the site of origin if the cancer involves the GE junction itself, a situation that has become more common in recent years (see box). Epidemiology Gender Gastric cancer occurs more frequently in men, with a male-female ratio of 1.7:1. Once this cancer is diagnosed, however, mortality is approximately equal in the two genders.

Extractions: General Duodenal Ulcer Gastric Ulcer Stomach Cancer ... Weird Syndromes Stomach cancers (gastric adenocarcinomas) are often associated with H.pylori (70-90%). In an extensive review of gastric cancer and H.pylori the Eurogast Study Group determined that presence of H.pylori confers an approxi-mately six fold risk of gastric cancer, accounting for about half of all gastric cancers. Supposedly, chronic gastritis leads to intestinal metaplasia (atrophic gastritis) which then undergoes malignant change. In the final stage H.pylori may no longer be detected on biopsy but immunologic studies may show evidence of past infection. Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) may undergo malignant change causing a low-grade lymphoma of the stomach. Retrospective biopsy studies show that 90% of such MALT lymphomas are asso-ciated with H.pylori. Early reports indicate about a 50% cure for localized MALT after cure of H.pylori.

Gastric Cancer?
Subject gastric cancer? Topic Area to normal. What would be some othersigns of gastric cancer? Dear Eric,. Your doctor is correct.
http://www.medhelp.org/forums/gastro/archive/2070.html

Extractions: Hi I'm 26 and have had abdominal discomfort, some weight loss and have been taking prescribed Prilosec two weeks after the symptoms appeared. I've been on this for about 4 weeks now and will be getting an endoscopy soon. The pain seems to have gone other than some occasional belching and light indigestion on heavier meals. What worries me is that my two blood tests show negative for H. Pylori and my stool tests shows no bleeding. My doctor said it was pretty uncommon for someone my age to have gastric cancer but he didn't say what then would be causing these Ulcer like symptoms and if the prilosec was simply masking the symptoms. If the blood work doesn't show H. pylori could it still be the bacteria or could it be something else (benign). Coincedentally I have started to gain a few pounds back and my appetite is back to normal. What would be some other signs of gastric cancer? Dear Eric

Extractions: Can you tell me why a Doctor wouldn't do surgery on a cancer patient? Acording to the doctors, the tumor is too big! How can that be? I always thought with cancer time is of the essense. The doctors said they couldn't get all of the cancer if they were to do surgery first. So what happens if the chemo doesn't work? Do they then do surgery after wasting so much time? Also what determines the size of a tumor as to " it's to big" Especially if there is no metastasis. Please excuse all of my spelling! thank you, Lynn Dear Lynn, Cancer treatment depends upon the type of cancer and the type of therapy that has been proven in clinical trials to improve

McKesson Clinical Reference Systems: Adult Health Advisor 2002.1 Illustration Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is the growth of abnormal cells in the lining and wall of the stomach. It is the fourth most common cancer and occurs mainly in men over 40 years of age. Stomach cancer is difficult to detect in its early stages because its early symptoms are absent or mild. A diet high in nitrates (a common meat preservative) and pickled or smoked foods may increase the risk of gastric cancer. Excess alcohol consumption also increases the risk of stomach cancer. Several conditions may be precancerous and may increase the risk of stomach cancer. They include:
