			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liver cancer can called as a metastatic cancer because in almost all cases, the cancer actually development from original cancer which has been spread to other area. But it can be specified as stage four colon cancers that cannot be recognized due to the lack of symptoms.</p>

<p>Avastin is generally used in chemotherapy for colon cancer which shows up in the liver. The doctor may give a combination for liver cancer chemotherapy along with avastin such as Doxorubicin (Adriamycin), Cisplatin, Methotrexate, 5FU (fluorouracil), and Gemcitabine in variant doses.</p>
<p>Chemotherapy may give before or after surgery depending on patient&#8217;s condition. But your doctor may prefer chemotherapy then surgery to remove the shrunken tumors. This happen because liver cancer usually occur when patients already have cancer in other part of body like colon cancer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many forms of medication that you may be prescribed with various types of side effect to go with each. Your doctor will go over your particular case with you and determine which type of treatment is the best.</p>
<p>Your treatment may consist of such treatments as Chemotherapy, Hormone therapy, Biological therapy, Alternative and complimentary therapy and of course drug treatment. Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer drugs which are done intravenously, by mouth, Injectable and topical applications. They stop the growth of cancer cells as they destroy the cells. This type of treatment is usually done in cycles. They will usually alternate treatments with rest periods to allow the person to recuperate.</p>
<p>Some of the anti-cancer medications that your doctor may use may include such medications as: Hexalen, Elspar, Blenoxane, Xeloda, Idamycin and Doxil just to name a few. Most cancer medications come with a hefty list of side effects. Unfortunately the necessity of the medication makes it almost impossible to avoid side effects. If you suffer from severe side effects your doctor will most likely prescribe another medication to counter act the side effects.</p>
<p>Some of the side effects that you may or may not experience with cancer medications might be: Feeling very tired and weak, more susceptible to infections and they can bleed and bruise easily. Keep in mind that you can use other drugs to counteract the side effects and that makes it much easier for you to undergo the necessary cancer treatment.</p>
<p>Radiation therapy is the form of treatment where they use ionizing radiation. This type of treatment kills off the cell in the area that is being treated. This makes it impossible for the cells to grow back. Often times the area of cancer will be surgically removed and then the radiation and chemotherapy will start. If you choose to do the hormone therapy, this is where you will be given hormones to change the way your cells grow in your body.</p>
<p>Biological therapy is also known as Immunotherapy as it helps you make use of your immune system to help with your side effects from other medications as well as fighting off the cancer cells.</p>
<p>No matter which form of cancer you suffer from, be sure to keep a good line of communication open with your doctor. Educate yourself on all of your medications and be sure to know what side effects that you may or may not experience. Before starting any type of new treatment, be sure to discuss all of your options with your oncologist. He or she will be more than happy to go over your treatment plan in detail so you can be well informed on what to expect. If you find a medication that you are interested in then bring this up with your doctor as well so that he or she can consider it as a possibility or let you know why it is not a good choice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cancer symptoms may vary depending on the type of cancer. There are however some general symptoms that all cancer patients may manifest or experience regardless of the type of cancer that they may be suffering from. The signs of cancer often go unnoticed but can be identified if you know what to look for. That is why in this article I am going to discuss three potential cancer symptoms.</p>
<p>1) LUMPS:- As I mentioned above, cancer occurs when your cells start to grow in a rapid, out of control way leading to the formation of a tumor. For certain types of cancer this tumor causes a lump to form on the skin. For example, breast cancer and skin cancer can often be identified from a lump on the skin. If you notice any lumps that appear on your skin and do not go away then you should go see your doctor right away. Most lumps turn out to be none cancerous but it is better to be safe than sorry.</p>
<p>2) UNEXPLAINED BLEEDING:- Bleeding is never a good sign and can be a possible cancer symptom. If you start to cough up blood this is a potential sign of lung cancer. Rectal bleeding can indicate ovarian cancer and prostate cancer. If your skin starts to bleed this is a possible symptom of skin cancer. Bleeding does not always indicate cancer but it is almost always a sign that something is wrong. Therefore, if you notice any unexplained bleeding go and see your doctor right away.</p>
<p>3) UNEXPLAINED WEIGHT LOSS:- If you start to lose weight and do not know why it could be a sign of cancer. One reason for this is that certain tumors in the digestive tract can cause blockages and interfere with digestion. Certain cancers also cause chemicals to be released that increase your metabolism and allow you to burn more calories. Any unexplained weight loss should be treated with suspicion and if it happens you should go and see your doctor immediately.</p>
<p>A lot of the time cancer has no symptoms. However, any of the above signs are an indicator that something is not right and a potential cancer symptom. They should all be treated as warning signs and if you notice lumps, unexplained bleeding and unexplained weight loss you should go and consult your doctor.</p>
<p>Whilst every intention has been made to make this article accurate and informative, it is intended for general information only. Cancer is a very serious, life threatening condition and you should discuss any concerns, treatments or lifestyle changes fully with your doctor.</p>
