With normal functioning in the bodythere is a constant division of cells, their renewal. It is a controlled and orderly process. Some mechanisms stimulate the growth of new cells, while others cause inhibition, blocking of this process. Self-regulation of the body in the normal should not fail. But for some unknown reasons, sometimes this happens, and the cells begin to chaotically share. There is a neoplasm - it is a tumor, which is engaged in a section of medicine called "oncology".
Neoplasms can be eitherbenign, or malignant. A biopsy allows doctors to determine the type of neoplasm. With a benign tumor, newly formed cells do not affect other tissues and organs, but, increasing in size, they can press on adjacent organs. Benign neoplasm does not always remain unchanged. Under the influence of certain factors, it can degenerate into a malignant one. Such a neoplasm is a dangerous tumor that threatens human life. The tumor cell becomes immune to signals of self-regulation, exists separately. Such cells enter the blood, lymph, spread to other organs in the body, where they begin to multiply and form metastases.
The cell lives forty-two hours, she manages for ittime to be born, live and die. A new one comes on, and the cycle repeats. If for some reason the periodicity is violated, the cell does not die, but continues to grow, a new growth appears. This leads to the formation of a tumor. Some factors can contribute to this:
Cell mutation is quite possible in poor environmental conditions, poor nutrition, in conjunction with stress.
There are several stages of tumor development:
Initiation. The initial stage of neoplasm development. At this stage, DNA changes. Two genes mutate: one of them is responsible for the immortality of the cell, and the second - for the constant growth. If two genes are involved in the process at once, a malignant tumor is formed, this is inevitable. If one of the genes is transformed, a benign tumor develops.
Promotion. Chemicals do not damage the promotersstructure of DNA. But with prolonged contact with the initiated cells, the tumor develops. Promoters are capable of provoking active cell division. With early diagnosis it is possible to stop the cancer pathology.
Progression. At the stage of progression, mutated cellsincrease with lightning speed. So a new formation is formed. At this stage, even benign tumors cause poor health, there are strange spots on the skin. If you do not take timely measures, cancer can form. Genes mutate, the metastasis can begin.
Benign neoplasm is a tumor that has several kinds.
Malignant neoplasm is a pathology that has several varieties depending on the type of damaged cells.
There are several ways to remove new growths on the skin. For each patient, the operation is selected individually, depending on the degree of the disease.
What methods are used:
Radio wave. The operation is carried out using a special electrode, which emits high-frequency waves. The tumor is literally cut by heating, while it remains intact and can be sent for examination.
Laser. The most popular method. Light pulses, regenerating into thermal energy, evaporate the neoplasm. Treatment seals vessels and prevents bleeding. During processing, education is completely destroyed.
Chemical. Aggressive chemicals are used. The method is used extremely rarely, aggressive acids are used.
Electrocoagulation. A variable or high-frequency current is used. High temperature destroys the formation on the skin. When electrocoagulation often there are scars, so the method is not suitable for use in open areas of the skin and face.
Cryodestruction. To eliminate tumors useda liquid nitrogen. Temperature minus 195 freezes pathology, destroys the structure. With this method, it is impossible to control the depth of exposure, so there is a danger of hitting healthy cells or nedounichtozhit patients.
Surgical. A standard method of excision with a conventional surgical scalpel. The drawback of the method is the threat of bleeding, scars, a long period of rehabilitation.
