NEOPLASM- TOP - RATED DEATH-DEFYING DISEASE IN NETHERLANDS?

Abnormal growth of cells in the body i.e. tumor is referred to as Neoplasm. It is a small gradual growth of pre-cancerous tumors in the human body either benign or malignant. These are the two types of tumors where the benign tumor has noncancerous growth and in the Malignant tumors there is a cancerous growth. Benign tumors do not spread to other tissues and develop gradually. Whereas the Malignant tumors can grow quickly and carry a risk of metastasis.

Causes

The main cause of Neoplasm is still on research. However, normally this disease is caused by DNA mutations within your cells. As your DNA contains genes, hence when the DNA changes within your cells, they don’t function properly. This disconnection is what causes the cells to become cancerous.

Nevertheless, there are several factors found all over the world that can also cause this death-defying disease. All these factors can result in the growth of Benign or Malignant Tumors. Some of these factors are listed below:

• Genetics
• Age
• Hormones
• Smoking
• Drinking
• Obesity
• Sun overexposure
• Immune disorders
• Viruses
• Overexposure to Radiations
• Chemical toxins

Sign & Symptoms

Generally, the symptoms of Neoplasm depends upon its type as well as on where the disease is located. In some cases, Neoplasm shows no sign or symptom of itself. Overall symptoms regardless of type are anemia, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, persistent fatigue, loss of appetite, chills, diarrhea, fever, bloody stools, lesions, and skin masses.

Now depending upon the location where the tumor is occurring, symptoms are different. For instance, if your breast neoplasm is cancerous, you might experience tenderness, pain, swelling, redness or irritation, change in breast shape, or even discharge.

Similarly, if a cancerous Neoplasm develops or grows in your lymph Nodes, you might feel mass, swelling, weight loss, fever, night sweats etc. and for Skin Neoplasm, following symptoms can occur:

• Lesions
• Open sores
• Itchy or painful rashes
• Bumps
• A mole that may bleed. Neoplasm on the skin can also cause skin cancer.

Diagnosis

In order to get the proper diagnosis, you must first seek the doctor that will determine which type of neoplasm you are having. The doctor can also take help from blood tests or examining your medical history. There is also a possibility of biopsy on visible masses. Some other tests that can also be helpful are:

• CT Scans
• MRI Scans
• PET Scans
• Mammograms
• Ultrasounds
• X-Rays
• Endoscopy

After diagnosing the disease, you must take treatment. Generally used methods to treat Neoplasm includes Radiations, by medications, or by surgery. The main aim of this treatment is just to remove the affected tissue or cell without damaging the surrounding tissues. In some cases, there is no need for treatment but the treatment becomes necessary if the symptoms persist.
