In less than two decades the WHO (World Health Organization) provides cancer increased by 50%. The main causes of this increase are our conduct - hygienic - dietetic and social high risk, such as unbalanced diet, sedentary lifestyle and smoking.
However it is more convenient to give more value to the myths (are what we want and we should believe) before assuming our responsibility to change our risk behaviors.
Myth:
The cancer is hereditary.
Fact:
Only 5-10% of cancers are hereditary, 90-95% are induced (not having relatives who had cancer is no guarantee of having it)
Myth:
Cancer is not cured and is synonymous with death.
Fact:
Today it is no longer a death sentence, since 50% of patients are diagnosed early are curable.
Myth:
Underwire bras are the cause of breast cancer.
Fact:
There is no evidence to support that assertion however obesity, diet high in animal fats and unbalanced diet is found to be risk factors for breast cancer.
Myth:
The weight and exercise do not influence the risk of cancer.
Fact:
Exercising at least 30 minutes for 3 days a week and maintain weight loss prevents cancer by 50% of patients. MYTH: The cell phone causes cancer.
Myth:
The cell phone causes cancer.
Fact:
Studies are still in process of final analysis of this risk, but preliminary results show increased risk of brain cancer.
Myth:
GM foods are at risk for cancer.
Fact:
They have not yet been time to get results that confirm this risk. Unknown long-term effects.
Myth:
Only people with relatives who had cancer should realizase early detection studies.
Fact:
Cancer is not hereditary, is induced 90-95% of cases therefore 100% of people should be early detection studies. - Mammogram, Pap, PSA.
Myth:
Tanning beds are harmful.
Fact:
If you are harmful and increase the risk of skin cancer by 30%.
Myth:
Smoking without the "coup" inspiration of the smoke is not a risk factor for cancer.
Fact:
If you are a risk factor for cancer, and that carcinogens enter the blood to mucosal contact. - Boca.
Myth:
Stress causes cancer.
Fact:
While the findings are divided into four risk factors, emotional stress leads to an improper lifestyle. - Bad diet, alcohol consumption and smoking.
Myth:
The microwaves cause cancer.
Fact:
The waves are non-ionizing microwave (do not damage the DNA of cells) saucers containers microwaveable not release bisphenols contaminating food and this more than the microwave is a risk factor. Use only microwave-safe saucers.
Myth:
The consumption of sugar increases the risk of cancer.
Fact:
All human cells of sugar required for its operation is therefore false and it is a risk factor. Obesity is a risk factor if more than the consumption of sugar.
Myth:
Cancer is contagious.
Fact:
Cancer is not contagious, some viruses are contagious as the human papilloma virus that is sexually transmitted and causes cervical cancer (cervix) and infection with hepatitis B or C, may develop cancer Liver.
Myth:
The cancer treatment is worse than the disease.
Fact:
Today has evolved with new drugs that decrease the side effects that the treatment accorded the same effects are less severe than in the past.
Myth:
Artificial sweeteners. - Saccharin and aspartame cause cancer.
Fact:
False no discernable increase in cancer with the use of sweeteners.
Myth:
Aluminum containing antiperspirant deodorants are cusa breast cancer, because they block the pores and hence axillary sweating and accumulate toxins.
Fact:
To date there are no studies to support this claim, and toxins are eliminated by the kidney and urine and these are not related to sweat.
Myth:
To be cancer should be painful.
Fact:
The early clinical stage cancer that is curable, not painful, and when the symptom is pain is advanced and decreases the chance of cure. Not expected to hurt to see a doctor.
Fact:
Up to 40% of cancer cases prevented if we eat healthy, we exercise regularly, limit alcohol, avoid smoking and sun exposure without sunscreen.

Qué es PET /CT?
PET (Tomografía por Emisión de positrones) y CT (tomografía computarizada) son técnicas estándar de diagnostico por imagen que usan los médicos para identificar patologías del organismo. La prueba PET muestra la función biológica del cuerpo antes de que se produzcan cambios anatómicos, mientras que la prueba de CT proporciona información anatómica como tamaño, forma y ubicación. La combinación de ambas tecnologías permite a los médicos diagnosticar e identificar con mayor precisión el cáncer, las enfermedades cardiacas y los trastornos cerebrales.
Radiofármaco
El día del estudio se aplica una pequeña inyección de un radiofármaco muy especial que contiene azúcar. Esta substancia circula por el cuerpo y se metaboliza por los órganos y celular. Por lo tanto indica aéreas de alto metabolismo y tejido viable.
Por el hecho de que las celular anormales procesan el azúcar en forma diferente que las células normales. El equipo PET tiene la capacidad de medir esta función metabólica mas acelerada. Las imágenes revelan la fisiología a nivel celular demostrando aéreas afectadas por cáncer.
Como Trabajo un estudio de PET/CT?
Una prueba de PET/CT no causa dolor y no provoca efectos secundarios. Tras un ayuno de aproximadamente de 6 horas, se le administra al paciente una inyección intravenosa de glucosa radiactiva. Seguido aproximadamente 45 minutos mientras la glucosa se distribuye por todo su organismo.
Tras completarse la fase de distribución, el paciente tendrá que acostarse sobre una mesa que pasara lentamente por el escáner.
Una vez que el órgano bajo observación haya procesado el trazador radiactivo y el escáner haya registrado los datos, un radiólogo capacitado interpretara las imágenes. Normalmente se informara de los resultados medico que lo refirió en un plazo de 24 horas.Instrucciones
• Ningún alimento 6 horas antes de la cita.
• Usted puede beber agua, pero ningún otro liquido.
• No haga ejercicio vigoroso, no mastique chicle, no fume por 24 horas antes del examen.
• Solo consuma alimento bajos de carbohidratos, no cafeína, no nicotina, no alcohol por 24 horas antes del examen.
• Lleve ropa cómoda
• Tome sus medicamentos con receta a menos que e le indique lo contrario.
• Informe a su médico si esta embarazada o lactando, o padece de diabetes
• Por favor, no traiga niños a la cita.
Indicaciones
Clínicas de icnología
1. Distinguir entre tumores benigno y maligno en areas sospechosas
2. Evaluar la agresividad de un tumor
3. Estudiar la totalidad del cuerpo para detectar enfermedad metastasica regional y distante
4. Verificar el éxito de la terapia
5. Detectar tumores recurrentes
