Hormones are naturally occurring substances in the body that stimulate the growth of hormone sensitive tissues, such as the breast or prostate gland. When cancer arises in breast or prostate tissue, its growth and spread may be caused by the body’s own hormones.
Therefore, drugs that block hormone production or change the way hormones work, and/or removal of organs that secrete hormones, such as the ovaries or testicles, are ways of fighting cancer. Hormone therapy, similar to chemotherapy, is a systemic treatment in that it may affect cancer cells throughout the body. (more…)

You can’t live without your laptop, but can you live with the radiation? That’s the question people are asking as laptops become the computer of choice for the person on the go. Questions about radiation from laptops remain largely unanswered. The concern is that laptops have the capacity to rest in the lap which allows direct contact with the body in contrast to a desktop which generally rests several feet away from the body. Is radiation from lap tops a health threat?
The radiation emitted from a computer monitor or from a laptop is a low frequency type of radiation, in contrast to ionizing radiation which has enough force to remove an electron from at atom. Exposure to ionizing radiation is of great concern because the high energy waves have the ability to alter DNA, the genetic material found in cells. Ionizing radiation can create mutations which increase the risk of developing a cancer if the mutation isn’t repaired by the body’s own natural defense mechanisms. (more…)

The need for sun safety has become clear over the past 20 years, with studies showing that excessive exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer. Harmful rays from the sun—and from sunlamps and tanning beds—may also cause eye problems, weaken your immune system, and give you unsightly skin spots and wrinkles, or “leathery” skin.
Sun damage to the body is caused by invisible ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which reaches us as long wavelengths known as UVA and short wavelengths known as UVB. UVB radiation can cause sunburn. But the longer wavelength UVA is dangerous too, as it can penetrate the skin and damage tissue at deeper levels.
Tanning is a sign of the skin reacting to potentially damaging UV radiation by producing additional pigmentation that provides it with some—but not nearly enough—protection against sunburn. (more…)
