Its oesophagal cancer - the tube that carries food into the stomach.  My mum sadly died of this cancer.  It begins with a feeling of food being stuck in the throat which makes the person vomit - obviously weight loss is fast and dramatic in most cases. Tests are done via passing a camera into the stomach which can then find the cancer and do a biopsy.  Treatment to relieve the initial problem can be either stretching the oesophagus and sometimes inserting a stent - depending on how advanced it is. Sometimes an operation can be done to remove the tumour again dependant on size etc.  Most commonly chemotherapy treatment is given and although I said my mum died of this - at that time combined chemo was in experimental stages and has since advanced to a stage where many more people survive this cancer.  Stay positive is the key and rest during chemo. xxxxx

To quote The Source of all knowledge - wikipedia - Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell division and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue (invasion) or by migration of cells to distant sites (metastasis). This unregulated growth is caused by damage to DNA, resulting in mutations to vital genes that control cell division, among other functions. One or more of these mutations, which can be inherited or acquired, can lead to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation. Tumor ("swelling" in Latin) refers to any abnormal mass of tissue, but may be either malignant (cancerous) or benign (noncancerous). Only malignant tumors are capable of invading other tissues or metastasizing.

I wish I knew, my cousin has been looking for one to..she was born with one, and had cancer of it...she's thinking of creating one..I hope you find one that helps you.

cancer is the most common cause of death of all animals.  cancer has been here since the dinosaurs.  there are cancer tumors in the dinosaur bones.  cancer is more a process than a disease.  After saying all that stomach cancer is a terrible condition and i hope you are just curious.

There is a lot of information out there on the net. . .this is just some things I found - beginning with what the "seed radiation" is:\n\nBrachytherapy, also known as prostate seed implantation or radioactive seed implantation involves placing tiny radioactive pellets ("seeds") directly inside the prostate tumor. Low-dose seeds are implanted permanently and give off radiation for several months before losing their radioactivity. High-dose, or high-energy, seeds are implanted for less than a day and deliver a concentrated dose of radiation to the tumor.\n\nMen whose cancer is confined to the prostate gland are the candidates for this type of treatment\n\nWhen you do your search - try using the search keywords like: prognosis of brachytherapy.  A good website to go to is the National Cancer Institute.

p53, also known as tumor protein 53 (TP53), is a transcription factor that regulates the cell cycle and hence functions as a tumor suppressor. It is very important for cells in multicellular organisms to suppress cancer. TP53 has been described as "the guardian of the genome", referring to its role in conserving stability by preventing genome mutation [6]. The name is due to its molecular mass: it runs as a 53 kilodalton (kDa) protein on SDS-Pp53, also known as tumor protein 53 (TP53), is a transcription factor that regulates the cell cycle and hence functions as a tumor suppressor.

Cancer is a class of diseases or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion or by implantation into distant sites by metastasis. Metastasis is defined as the stage in which cancer cells are transported through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Cancer may affect people at all ages, but risk increases with age. It is one of the leading causes of death in developed countries.\n\nThere are many types of cancer. Severity of symptoms depends on the site and character of the malignancy and whether there is metastasis. A definitive diagnosis usually requires the histologic examination of tissue by a pathologist. This tissue is obtained by biopsy or surgery. Most cancers can be treated and some cured, depending on the specific type, location, and stage. Once diagnosed, cancer is usually treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As research develops, treatments are becoming more specific for the type of cancer pathology. Drugs that target specific cancers already exist for several cancers. If untreated, cancers may eventually cause illness and death, though this is not always the case.\n\nThe unregulated growth that characterizes cancer is caused by damage to DNA, resulting in mutations to genes that encode for proteins controlling cell division. Many mutation events may be required to transform a normal cell into a malignant cell. These mutations can be caused by chemicals or physical agents called carcinogens, by close exposure to radioactive materials, or by certain viruses that can insert their DNA into the human genome. Mutations occur spontaneously, or are passed down generations as a result of germ line mutations.\n\nMany forms of cancer are associated with exposure to environmental factors such as tobacco smoke, radiation, alcohol and certain viruses. While some of these can be avoided, there is no known way to entirely avoid the disease, and public health and vaccination programs are also important on a global scale.\n\n\nI hope you find what your looking for.\n\nGood Luck!\n\n=)

Cancer. Sometimes a cigar...will kill you.

It depends which type of cancer you're talking about. You could loose weight. If it involves respiratory system, cough is evident, sore throat, hoarseness, dyspnea. Gastointestinal, abdominal pain, change in bowel habit/pattern, constipation and diarhhea, bloody stool. Genitourinary, bloody urine. For lumps, it could be only a cyst that could easily be excised by the doctor, not all lumps are cancerous.
