Prostate Cancer: Obesity Increases the Risk of Aggressive Cancer
The excess weight and obesity can cause numerous health issues, and increasing research supports that these factors also elevate the risk of developing and progressing prostate cancer. Among men, prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies, with a significant mortality rate. It is particularly concerning for obese men that more aggressive forms of the disease are more common, and the chances of recurrence are higher. Researchers are continuously investigating the connections between body weight and prostate cancer to better understand the risk factors and opportunities for prevention. The progression of prostate cancer and its relation to body weight The progression of prostate cancer is heavily dependent not only…

Types and Signs of Lymphomas – International Lymphoma Day
The lymphoma is a cancerous disease of the lymphatic system that can often be successfully treated. The advancement of modern medicine allows patients to access the latest treatment options, including targeted immunotherapies. In Hungary, hematology-oncology centers provide modern treatments for patients with follicular and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, as well as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Early detection of the disease is crucial, as delays can lead to reduced chances of recovery. Approximately 2,500 new lymphoma cases are diagnosed each year, and alongside advancements in diagnostic procedures, environmental factors such as air pollution and the use of chemicals may also contribute to the development of the disease. The initial symptoms of…

Cancer Therapy – Alternative Solutions or Classic Treatments?
The treatment of cancer and the associated drug therapies is an extremely important and current topic in today’s society. Cancer diseases not only deeply affect patients but also their families and immediate surroundings. Various treatment methods, including medications and alternative therapies, raise questions and dilemmas for many. Public opinion on cancer treatment is mixed. While many believe in the effectiveness of drug therapies, others are uncertain, and many are seeking alternative options. Medicine is constantly evolving, but patients’ trust in treatment options often depends on personal experiences. Therefore, it is important for patients to be well-informed and able to make informed decisions when searching for the most suitable treatment method…

Application of Artificial Intelligence in Lung Cancer Diagnosis Based on Chest CT Examination
A lung cancer diagnosis is of paramount importance in modern medicine, as this disease is among the most common causes of death in many countries around the world. Early detection of lung cancer fundamentally determines the survival chances of patients, as the likelihood of recovery is much higher in the first stage than in later phases. However, the disease often only shows symptoms in the later stages, making early diagnosis challenging. Traditional screening methods, such as chest X-rays, are not always effective enough to detect early-stage abnormalities. The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Lung Cancer Diagnostics The development of artificial intelligence (AI) offers an opportunity to rethink diagnostic processes. The…

Breast Cancer – The Role of a Protein in Healing
A cancers and their treatment options represent one of the most exciting areas of medicine. Research in recent decades has introduced new directions in understanding cancer diseases, particularly in the case of breast cancer. The scientific community is continuously searching for biomarkers and proteins that can help in understanding the behavior of cancer cells and in slowing the progression of the disease. A recent discovery focuses on a protein called ferroportin, which is responsible for iron transport in cells, and it may play a role in improving treatment options for breast cancer. Breast cancer and its prevalence Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and poses a significant…

Swedish researchers studied the genetic background of prostate cancer
The prostate cancer is receiving increasing attention from the scientific community, especially regarding the role of heredity. The incidence and risk factors of the disease represent an important research area for scientists. To expand knowledge about prostate cancer, experts are examining various populations to better understand how genetic factors influence the development of the disease. Research has shown that the probability of developing prostate cancer significantly increases if there is a history of the disease in the family. For men, knowing whether a sibling or parent has had the disease not only serves to assess individual risks but also highlights the importance of prevention and screening. With this information, men…

Symptoms and Therapeutic Options of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Az akut mieloid leukémia (AML) egy olyan súlyos betegség, amely a csontvelői vérképző sejtek daganatos elváltozásából ered. E betegség előfordulása különösen gyakori a fiatal felnőttek és az idősebb korosztály körében. A leukémia jellemzője, hogy a normál sejtek helyét a kóros sejtek foglalják el a csontvelőben, ami komoly egészségügyi problémákhoz vezethet. Az AML gyorsan fejlődik, és ha nem kezelik, a beteg életét veszélyezteti. A betegség kialakulásának okai sokrétűek, és bár nem minden esetben ismertek, bizonyos kockázati tényezők, mint például a vegyi anyagokkal való érintkezés vagy sugárzás, hozzájárulhatnak a leukémia megjelenéséhez. Az AML diagnózisának felállítása komplex folyamat, amely különféle vizsgálatok és elemzések sorozatát igényli. A modern orvostudomány fejlődésének köszönhetően az AML kezelése…

I thought that malignant tumors do not cause pain.
A breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, requiring serious attention. With advancements in medicine, the possibilities for early detection and effective treatment have improved, but prevention and regular screenings remain crucial. Self-examination, which is a simple and effective way for women to detect early signs of breast cancer, is also essential. In addition to self-examination, mammography screenings, available from the age of thirty, contribute to the timely discovery of the disease. The risk of breast cancer among women may increase during menopause, making it particularly important for women aged 45-65 to participate regularly in mammography screenings. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can significantly enhance the chances of…
