Appendix Cancer: Introduction Appendix cancer occurs when healthy cells in the appendix change and grow out of control. These cells form a growth of tissue, called a tumor. A tumor can be cancerous or benign. A cancerous tumor is malignant, meaning it can grow and spread to other parts of the body. Another name for this type of cancer is appendiceal cancer.

Appendicitis What causes appendicitis? Appendicitis is thought most often to be caused by blockage of the appendix 'tube' either by something stuck on the inside, or by swelling of the appendix wall. Blockage may be by trapped seeds, indigestible food remnants or hard stools (faeces) that get stuck in the appendix, or by lymph glands in the appendix wall which have swollen in response to infection elsewhere in the body.

First Signs and Symptoms of Stomach Cancer Things that increase the risk of gastric cancer include peptic ulcers caused by H. pylori bacteria, inflammation of the stomach, smoking, a family history of stomach cancer, and a lack of exercise, a poor diet and obesity. Early stomach cancer often does not cause symptoms, but symptoms increase as the cancer grows.

Other risk factors for gastric cancer include chronic gastritis; older age; male sex; a diet high in salted, smoked, or poorly preserved foods and low in fruits and vegetables; tobacco smoking; pernicious anemia; a history of stomach surgery for benign conditions; and a family history of stomach cancer (6, 7).

Causes of Appendicitis Enlarged lymph tissue of the wall of the appendix, which is typically the result of infections in the GI tract; Benign or malignant tumors; Various foreign objects, such as stones, bullets, air gun pellets, and pins. Your appendix is home to many beneficial bacteria. But when the organ becomes infected or blocked up, the bacteria multiply rapidly, causing your appendix to swell and fill with pus — a thick liquid containing bacteria, tissue cells, and dead, infection-fighting white blood cells.

Appendix cancer information Appendix cancer develops when cells in the appendix mutate and multiply rapidly, forming a tumor. In its early stages, appendix cancer often does not cause symptoms and is typically detected during surgery for another condition. Treatment options for appendix cancer depend largely on the size and location of the tumor. Larger tumors typically require more aggressive treatment.

Stomach cancer The cancer may spread from the stomach to other parts of the body, particularly the liver, lungs, bones, lining of the abdomen and lymph nodes. The most common cause is infection by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which accounts for more than 60% of cases. Certain types of H. pylori have greater risks than others.

Overview Causes. Carcinoid syndrome is caused by a carcinoid tumor that secretes serotonin or other chemicals into your bloodstream. Carcinoid tumors occur most commonly in your gastrointestinal tract, including your stomach, small intestine, appendix, colon and rectum, or in your lungs. Only a small percentage of carcinoid tumors secrete the chemicals that cause carcinoid syndrome.

appendix/colon cancer Hi Livin I read your post. In May 2010 I had a 1/3 of my colon removed along with the APPENDIX. They thought I had cancer in the colon. It was negative but positive in the appendix. The appendix is attached to the colon and removed along with the colon portion in the area my diagnosis. Appendix-stage 1-ALL ENCLOSED and ALL Gone...CURED my surgeon. Had not gone to the walls. So NO Chemo and NO radiation needed for this surgery.

Bowel cancer warning: Western high fat diet 'causes tumours to grow' High fat diets and obesity increase bowl cancer risk, says new study. Poor diet causes four fifths of all bowel cancer cases but exactly how diet leads to cancer was not known until now. The new study by US scientists found a specific molecular pathway that plays a key role in the link between a high-fat diet and tumour growth in the colon.

Top 10 Cancer Causing Foods: Understanding what Causes Cancer While cancer is one of the worst, regularly eating the cancer causing foods in our top ten list can also lead to heart disease, diabetes, chronic inflammation, and so much more. What Causes Cancer? Understanding possible causes of cancer comes down to understanding the causes of gene and DNA mutations. Chemicals (like carcinogens), radiation, obesity, hormones, chronic inflammation, smoking, viruses, and a number of other factors have been found to be cancer causing.

Appendix ruptures how long do you have to get to the hospital? It depends.. Death after ruptured appendix is usually caused by peritonitis, inflammation of the lining around the abdominal organs. Although peritonitis can be caused by other conditions (i.e., pelvic inflammatory disease, ascites), a ruptured appendix can certainly cause it too.

Everything You Need to Know About Appendicitis Most commonly, feces blocks the inside of the appendix. Also, bacterial or viral infections in the digestive tract can lead to swelling of lymph nodes, which squeeze the appendix and cause obstruction. Traumatic injury to the abdomen may also lead to appendicitis, in a small number of people.

Stomach cancer Helicobacter pylori infection is an essential risk factor in 65–80% of gastric cancers, but only 2% of people with Helicobacter infections develop stomach cancer. The mechanism by which H. pylori induces stomach cancer potentially involves chronic inflammation, or the action of H. pylori virulence factors such as CagA.
