A study conducted on women has discovered the secret behind the turmeric, curcumin is able to prevent the risk of cancer in postmenopausal women who have undergone treatment with hormone replacement, positioning and an excellent natural agent prevent cancer.

Previous studies have shown that estrogen with progestin in hormone replacement therapy could increase the risk of developing tumors in women who had passed menopause. However, curcumin was shown to have a preventive action of this problem in animals, allowing to speculate whether the same applies to the human body.

Research is not only remarkable for highlighting the importance of turmeric to prevent tumor development, but also have prevented the occurrence of morphological abnormalities in the mammary glands of these women.

Sometimes the pain of sciatica is no more than a mere annoyance cope, but sometimes can result in complete paralysis for which you should call your doctor. So it may be a good idea to consider saving some medicinal plant that makes you forget the pain.

Turmeric is an herb that grows wild and can be used in cases of sciatic pain due to its anti-inflammatory properties, which are universally known and used for years.

With a little crushed turmeric oil, butter, herbs such as Piper longum can be used to cure the pain of sciatica. In addition to reducing pain turmeric reduces inflammation, which is an excellent resource to reduce this annoying pain.

But a new study has shown a possible answer: the spice turmeric. This Indian spice popular use seems to reduce the risk of this cancer.

That was the conclusion of a group of researchers at the University of Missouri. They found that turmeric may reduce the risk of breast cancer after receiving hormone replacement therapy.

About 6 million women in the United States, rely on hormonal replacement therapy to treat symptoms of menopause. This progestin exposure predisposes to a large number of post-menopausal women develop breast cancer. The results of this study show that these women could take to protect themselves from risk turmeric.

Had they thought that a species could do such a thing? No … I really do not. But do not complain, welcome!

Preliminary research published in the journal Phytotherapy Research suggests that antioxidants found in cranberries can stop the spread of breast cancer.

Those responsible for this are the antiocianinas, antioxidant pigment responsible for giving blueberries, which prevent the proliferation of cancer cells once they are installed in the body. With this blocking action, the antiocianinas succeed in preventing the spread of breast cancer, protecting the body from attack.

Although the results are, as mentioned, preliminary, alternative medicine continues to provide solutions to this problem. For example, it is also known that resveratrol (found in the wine and the skin of the grape) is an antioxidant that protects the body breast cancer, and also green tea also has a contribution to make.

How is it treated?
* Surgical excision, if possible, is the preferred technique because it allows to remove the tumor in its entirety and make a subsequent histological study to determine if the edges of the surgical specimen are free. A variant of this technique is Mohs microsurgery, which is performed histological study of the piece on the operative act itself so as to determine whether or not it is necessary to continue to expand the margins of excision, is a technique used primarily when affect areas involved such as the eyelids. It is probably the treatment of choice in the forms sclerodermiform.
* Curettage and electrocoagulation: This technique is removal by curette, based on the greater friability of the tumor relative to healthy skin. Subsequently, the treated area is electrocoagulation to remove debris. The drawback of this technique is unable to confirm the total removal.
* Cryosurgery (liquid nitrogen) can be used in small lesions, but does not allow histological confirmation or determine if excision has been complete.
* Radiation therapy: Their primary indications are elderly, large lesions, when surgical treatment fails or if it’s difficult.
* Topical cytotoxic agents: 5-fluorouracil can be used only in the treatment of superficial basal cell carcinoma.
* Laser: This is a difficult treatment availability and does not allow histological control. So although it should not be a treatment of choice may be used in selected cases, as the Gorlin syndrome. CO2 can be used or photodynamic therapy.
* Imiquimod: This emerging drug was initially approved for the treatment of genital warts. It has an immunomodulatory effect by stimulating the immune response of the individual in charge of eliminating viral injury. There are also several studies that prove antitumor action. It has been recently approved in Europe for use in the treatment of superficial and nodular basal cell carcinomas of small size. The disadvantages are that we have focused on histological control of the removal of the tumor and its high irritant.

Forecast
The prognosis of basal cell carcinoma is excellent. Although metastases are described as being outstanding. But we must not forget that the protracted course without treatment of basal cell carcinoma may have important consequences secondary to their local destructive power, especially if it affects areas like the inner canthus of the eye, ear, orbit, and so on. Keep in mind the fact that approximately 40% of patients with basal cell carcinoma presented a new lesion in the subsequent 5-10 years.

Basal cell carcinoma is characterized by very heterogeneous from a clinical standpoint, which can sometimes make diagnosis difficult. Its most common location is on the face. It has a slow growing and painless, although as noted earlier, the evolution can produce invasion and destruction of adjacent structures.

The most common presentation is as pearly papule with teleangiectasia on its surface, which tends to be localized in the medial canthus, nose, or forehead. Corresponds to 95% of basal cell carcinomas. In the evolution may ulcerate in the center of the lesion, although the edges remain pearly papules features. In some cases the ulceration occurs early and massive way, then called ulcus Rodens, a less frequent but more aggressive.

Other clinical forms are:
* Basal Cell Carcinoma sclerodermatous: Board shiny smooth, flat and sometimes depressed slightly ill-defined borders resembling morphea. Sometimes we can see the look on their margins teleangiectasia pearl and typical of this tumor. Characteristically, the growth in depth of these lesions over the limits that we see clinically.
* Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma: a raised red plaque with scaly surface, which is typically located in the trunk. Sometimes it can appear as multiple lesions in this case being generally related to previous exposure to arsenic.
* All clinical forms of basal cell carcinoma can appear as pigmented lesions, making it difficult differential diagnosis with melanoma.

Diagnosis and differential diagnosis
Preliminary diagnosis is clinical basal cell carcinoma. It is essential to know the existence of other types of presentation in addition to the characteristic pearly papule. Definitive diagnosis is by histological confirmation by biopsy.

The differential diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma is wide due to the diverse clinical manifestations. Arises mainly with the following entities:
* Actinic Keratosis
* Seborrheic Keratosis
* Tumors of skin appendages
* Giant Melanocytic
* Melanoma
* Bowen’s Disease
* Squamous cell carcinoma
