| ARTICLES RELATED TO Palliative care |  |  |  | Palliative care: Encyclopedia II - Prostate cancer - PrognosisProstate cancer rates are higher and prognosis poorer in Western societies than the rest of the world. Many of the risk factors for prostate cancer are more prevalent in the Western world, including longer life expectancy and diets high in animal fats. Also, where there is more access to screening programs, there is a higher detection rate. Prostate cancer is the ninth most common cancer in the world, but is the number one non-skin cancer in United States men. Prostate cancer affected eighteen percent of American men and caused death in thre ...

|  |  |  | Palliative care: Encyclopedia II - Anxiety - Existential AnxietyTheologians like Paul Tillich and psychologists like Sigmund Freud have characterized anxiety as the reaction to what Tillich called, "The trauma of nonbeing." That is, the human comes to realize that there is a point at which they might cease to be (die), and their encounter with reality becomes characterized by anxiety. Religion, according to both Tillich and Freud, then becomes a carefully-crafted coping mechanism in response to this anxiety. Even Karl Marx, by calling religion the "Opiate of the People," recognized the shallowness of using religion in this way and crafted ...

|  |  |  | Palliative care: Encyclopedia II - Prostate cancer - Confirming the diagnosisWhen a man has symptoms of prostate cancer, or a screening test indicates an increased risk for cancer, more invasive evaluation is offered. The only test which can fully confirm the diagnosis of prostate cancer is a biopsy, the removal of small pieces of the prostate for microscopic examination. However, prior to a biopsy, several other tools may be used to gather more information about the prostate and the urinary tract. Cystoscopy shows the urinary tract from inside the bladder, using a thin, flexible camera tube inserted down the penis. Transrectal ultrasonography creates a picture o ...

|  |  |  | Palliative care: Encyclopedia II - Anxiety - PhobiaThis category involves a strong, irrational fear and avoidance of an object or situation. The person knows the fear is irrational, yet the anxiety remains. Phobic disorders differ from generalized anxiety disorders and panic disorders because there is a specific stimulus or situation that elicits a strong fear response. Imagine how it would feel to be so frightened by a spider that you would try to jump out of a speeding car to get away from it. This is how a person ...

|  |  |  | Palliative care: Encyclopedia II - Anxiety - Panic disorderIn panic disorder, a person suffers brief attacks of intense terror and apprehension that cause trembling and shaking, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. One who is often plagued by sudden bouts of intense anxiety might be said to be afflicted by this disorder. The American Psychiatric Association (2000) defines a panic attack as fear or discomfort that arises abruptly and peaks in 10 minutes or less.
Although panic attacks sometimes seem to occur out of nowhere, they generally happen after frightening experiences, prolonged stress, ...

|  |  |  | Palliative care: Encyclopedia II - Anxiety - Treatment overviewMainstream treatment for anxiety consists of the prescription of anxiolytic agents and/or referral to a cognitive-behavioral therapist. There are indications that a combination of the two can be more effective than either one alone.
Anxiety - Prescription medication.
The acute symptoms of anxiety are most often controlled with anxiolytic agents such as benzodiazepines. Diazepam (valium) was one of the first such drugs. Today we see a wide range of anti-anxiety agents that are based on benzodiazepines, alth ...

|  |  |  | Palliative care: Encyclopedia II - Prostate cancer - SymptomsEarly prostate cancer usually causes no symptoms. Often it is diagnosed during the workup for an elevated PSA noticed during a routine checkup. Sometimes, however, prostate cancer does cause symptoms, often similar to those of diseases such as benign prostatic hypertrophy. These include frequent urination, increased urination at night, difficulty starting and maintaining a steady stream of urine, blood in the urine, and painful urination. Prostate cancer may also cause problems with sexual function, such as difficulty achieving erection or painful ejaculation.See also:Prostate cancer, Prostate cancer - The prostate, Prostate cancer - Symptoms, Prostate cancer - Pathophysiology, Prostate cancer - Epidemiology, Prostate cancer - Screening, Prostate cancer - Digital rectal examination, Prostate cancer - Prostate specific antigen, Prostate cancer - Confirming the diagnosis, Prostate cancer - Staging, Prostate cancer - Treatment, Prostate cancer - Watchful waiting, Prostate cancer - Surgery, Prostate cancer - Radiation therapy, Prostate cancer - Cryosurgery, Prostate cancer - Hormonal therapy, Prostate cancer - Palliative care, Prostate cancer - Prognosis, Prostate cancer - Prevention, Prostate cancer - History Read more here: » Prostate cancer: Encyclopedia II - Prostate cancer - Symptoms |

Cancer - Origins of cancer.
Cell division (proliferation) is a physiological process that occurs in almost all tissues and under many circumstances. Normally the balance between proliferation and cell death is tightly regulated to ensure the integrity of organs and tissues. Mutations in DNA that lead to cancer disrupt these orderly processes.
The uncontrolled and often rapid proliferation of cells can lead to either a benign tumor or a malignant tumor (cancer). Benign tumors do not spread to other p ...
