The trek, which has been planned for two years, is about 27,000 miles long and includes stops in 25 countries. If he's successful, the pilot will become the first person to circumnavigate the globe in an old-fashioned gyroplane. Gyroplanes are lightweight aircrafts that were first used during the Second World War for intelligence gathering. They have a single engine and are helicopter-like, open cockpit machines. "Before I got cancer I had never done anything like this," Surplus, who learned to fly after his cancer treatment, told the Belfast Telegraph. "When I was recovering after s...

The tumor arises in the wall of the bowel as a submucosal mass that may result in scarring and kinking of the surface. Tumours originating from the foregut develop in the stomach, duodenum, and pancreas; those arising in the midgut develop in the small bowel, appendix, and right colon; and those arising from the hindgut develop in the transverse colon, left colon, or rectum. Small-bowel carcin...

Sandy on Primary and secondary liver cancer treatments My father died of secondary liver cancer nearly 12 months ago. He was diagnosed on the first year anniversary of my mothers death, he passed away 6 weeks later with us around him. He went down hill so fast. He had 2 primary cancers and 4 secondary cancers. 2 Primary cancers: prostate cancer and bowel cancer. 4 Secondary cancers: the lymph glands, bones, pancreas and liver. My dad was ...

He is only 55 years old and I am absolutely devastated. He must get his CT and MRI Scan at the end of this week. It is so draining for all of us waiting on results! I am trying to be positive for him but I’m finding it very hard just thinking of him dying! It makes me so sad! Metastatic liver cancer Dear Lyndsey, As by now you most likely know the results from the CT and MRI scan. You should also have had the talk with the oncologist. I was quite surprised to read when you say: "Bowel cancer and secondary Liver Cancer which is not curable". If this is what your doc...

Under the terms of the agreement, Lab21 will provide a screening test to indicate which patients are likely to benefit from Amgen’s new drug for advanced bowel cancer Vectibix® (panitumumab). It is the first time that the European Commission (EU) has licensed a bowel cancer product with the stipulation that a predictive test should be carried out.  This is the start of companion diagnostics. The term companion diagnostic tests is used to describe diagnostic or prognostic tools that are spec...

The link between a specific kind of fatty acid production in the gut and consuming carbohydrates may be the cause, as a lack of those fatty acids (called butyrates) protect against colorectal cancer.Low-carbohydrates diets, which were made famous by the Atkin's Diet, cause a four-fold reduction in the butyrate cancer-fighting bacteria, and therefore reduce the body's capability to fight off bowel cancer by itself.This is quite an interesting development, since low-carb diets are still popular today and are followed by millions of people in the U.S. It makes sense, however, that major diet changes can spark up the risk of certain cancers, so oddly...
