Colon cancer is a subset of colorectal cancers. Colorectal cancers consist of colon cancer, bowel cancer, and rectal cancer. These cancer types affect the mucous membrane of the lower gastrointestinal tract and rectum through a malignant tumor or polyp. Tumors composed of cancer cells can metastasize or spread to other parts of the body, impeding organ function.

So far, in 2022, over 25,000 people have been diagnosed with stomach cancer. Stomach cancers, also known as gastric cancer, are often very aggressive. Several cancer types can develop in the stomach.Gastric cancers include adenocarcinomas that develop in the stomach lining; gastrointestinal stromal tumors that develop in the stomach wall; non-Hodgkin lymphomas that develop in the stomach’s immune cells; and neuroendocrine tumors that develop in hormone cells.Each gastric cancer type progresses differently and demands a different treatment protocol.

According to the <a href="https://www.cancer.org/cancer/anal-cancer/about/what-is-anal-cancer.html">American Cancer Society</a>, anal cancer occurs in the anal canal at the end of the rectum, where the intestines end. Anal cancer cells can form in the lining of the anus, in the glands around the anus, or in the skin surrounding the area.Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common form of anal cancer. Anal cancer most often spreads to the liver and lungs. About <a href="https://cancerstatisticscenter.cancer.org/#!/">9,000-9,400 cases</a> of anal cancer are diagnosed per year in the United States.

Bladder Cancer

Bone cancer, also called bone neoplasm, isn&#x27;t the most common type of cancer, but the various types are aggressive and usually start as another form of cancer that&#x27;s spread to the body&#x27;s bones.This type of cancer is very rare, making up only about 1% of all cancer diagnoses yearly. In 2022, the American Cancer Society estimates about 3,910 new cases but over 2,000 deaths, making this a very deadly form of cancer.There are several types of bone cancers. The most common type of bone cancer is osteosarcoma, primarily affecting people from ten to 30 years old. A few other types of bone cancer are Ewing sarcoma, fibrosarcoma of the bone, giant cell tumor of the bone, and chondrosarcoma. Each bone cancer is a little different and has different treatment protocols.

Breast cancer patients have several options when it comes to treatment. <a href="https://www.cancer.gov/types/breast">Breast cancer</a> mortality rates have significantly decreased because breast cancers can be quickly diagnosed with a breast MRI.Breast cancer research has shown that it is crucial for women with breast cancer risk to self-examine to identify any breast lump they may have. As women age, they need to undergo mammograms on a regular basis so changes in breast tissue are easily identified.Breast tissue may offer some symptoms, but women must consider their risk factors. <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Clare-Turnbull/publication/5313326_Genetic_Predisposition_to_Breast_Cancer_Past_Present_and_Future/links/02e7e536a28ac49608000000/Genetic-Predisposition-to-Breast-Cancer-Past-Present-and-Future.pdf">Genetic counseling</a> is imperative when it comes to proper cancer care.There are several methods for treating breast cancer cells. A breast cancer doctor will determine the cancer type before suggesting recommended breast cancer treatment options.Common breast cancers are:<ul><li>Ductal carcinoma in situ</li><li>Invasive ductal carcinoma</li><li>Lobular carcinoma</li><li>Triple-negative breast cancer</li><li>Inflammatory breast cancer</li><li>Advanced metastatic breast cancer</li></ul>In the United States, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/breast/basic_info/index.htm">approximately 266,400 people</a> are diagnosed with breath cancer every year.Success in treatment will depend on the early detection of breast cancer symptoms. Success might not necessarily mean a breast cancer cure, but rather survivorship.

Cervical Cancer

Childhood Cancers

This type of cancer develops in the tissues of the head and neck. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most prevalent type of this cancer. It affects the mouth, nose, and throat, particularly on the flat cells lining these surfaces.Other less common types of head and neck cancer include adenocarcinoma cancer, esophageal cancer, blood cancer, salivary gland cancer, skin cancer, breast cancer, mouth cancer, throat cancer, pharyngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, and thyroid cancer.

Melanoma is skin cancer&#x27;s deadliest form. Up to 7,650 people in the United States die from this disease yearly. Early-stage melanoma is treatable, but it isn&#x27;t easy to curtail once it has spread to the lymph nodes. Prevention and regular screenings are the keys to surviving this type of cancer.This article will cover everything you need to know about melanoma, from its causes to prevention and treatment.

<a href="https://www.cancer.gov/types/pancreatic">Pancreatic cancer</a> begins in the pancreas, a large gland behind the stomach. The pancreas produces enzymes that help the body digest food, and it also produces hormones that regulate blood sugar levels.Pancreatic cancer usually starts in the cells lining the pancreas&#x27; ducts. These cells are called exocrine cells. Less often, cancer can start in the hormone-producing cells of the pancreas, called islet cells.If you have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, it is crucial to understand all of your treatment options. Unfortunately, this type of cancer is tough to treat, and the outlook is often not good. However, a few things can be done to improve your chances of survival.Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer. The survival rates are pretty low, and treatment options are also limited.However, researchers are constantly working on new ways to improve the treatment and detection of the disease.In the meantime, you can take steps to reduce your risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Be sure to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns about your risk.

Thermography is a non-invasive tool that uses sophisticated and high-tech equipment to measure temperature variations using body temperature, heat patterns, and blood flow. Digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI), a form of thermography, can be used to diagnose breast cancer, inflammation, thyroid disease, and other diseases. Thermography is non-invasive, non-contact, pain-free, and does not emit radiation as mammograms do. As a result, many complementary alternative medicine advocates prefer thermography over mammograms. Thermography is FDA approved; however only approved when used in conjunction with another diagnostic tool such as mammograms and is not approved as a stand-alone diagnostic tool.

Thermography

Prolotherapy, which has been used since the 1950s, is based on the theory that chronic pain is often caused by the laxness of the ligaments responsible for keeping a joint stable. When these ligaments and associated tendons become loose, the body is believed to compensate by using muscles to stabilize the joint. The net result, according to prolotherapy theory, is muscle spasms and pain. Prolotherapy involves injections of chemical irritant solutions into the areas around the ligaments. These solutions are believed to cause tissue to grow quickly, which would increase the strength and thickness of the ligaments. This presumably tightens the joint and relieves the burden on associated muscles, stopping muscle spasms. Prolotherapy is used to treat many conditions, including back pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, sports injuries, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), tendinitis, and tension headaches.

Prolotherapy

Mistletoe (Viscum album L.) is a medicinal herb that has been used as a cancer therapy in modern medicine for over a hundred years. It is a semi parasitic evergreen plant that is native to Asia and Europe. It grows on certain species of trees and draws out water and nutrients for its growth and survival.

Mistletoe Therapy

Laser therapies are medical treatments that use focused light. Unlike most light sources, light from a laser is tuned to specific wavelengths. This allows it to be focused on powerful beams. Laser light is so intense that it can be used to shape diamonds or cut steel. In medicine, lasers allow surgeons to work at high levels of precision by focusing on a small area, damaging less of the surrounding tissue. If you have laser therapy, you may experience less pain, swelling, and scarring than with traditional surgery. However, laser therapy can be expensive and require repeated treatments.

Laser Therapy

Hormone Therapy

Chelation therapy is an FDA-approved procedure for metal toxicity that uses a chelating agent to remove heavy metals from the body. The term ‘chelation’ is derived from the Greek word ‘chele&#x27; meaning ‘claw’ [1]. Chelating drugs (also called chelators or chelating agents) are compounds that have a high affinity for certain toxic metals and ‘grab’ onto them [1].

Chelation Therapy

Acupuncture has become a popular complementary treatment in cancer care as patients search for natural alternatives to help manage their disease, alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life [1]. As part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture is a technique that has been practiced for thousands of years in China and other Asian countries [2]. It involves the insertion of fine needles into the skin at specific points on the body known as acupuncture points [3]. The needles may be manipulated manually or stimulated with small electrical currents (electroacupuncture) [4].

Acupuncture

Nutritional Therapy centers on the idea that real health can be achieved through a holistic and bio-individual approach to nutrition and lifestyle. We believe that many of modern society’s health problems result from weaknesses in the body’s physiological foundations brought on by poor nutrition. Medical nutrition therapy is an evidence-based, individualized nutrition process meant to help treat certain medical conditions. Nutritional therapy instructs individuals on how to use their diet to best support their medical conditions. It not only addresses existing medical conditions but also attempts to lower the risk of new complications.Additional Resources:<ul><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33076229">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33076229</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33233049">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33233049</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32764923">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32764923</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32451701">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32451701</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30476588">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30476588</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31744117">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31744117</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23391017">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23391017</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26589974">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26589974</a></li></ul>

Hyperthermia is an emerging and promising cancer therapy that refers to the use of heat and the therapeutic effects of raising body temperature to treat malignant tumors [1]. It can be applied alone (more rare) or in conjunction with other conventional treatments (more common) such as chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy [1] [2].
