88793 tn?1290227177 (Atacand is belongs to the group of ARB). My GP agreed that. My GP also said many and most of the diabetes patient also on that. Atacand is for the prevention of kidney failure. I just wish to know is that true? Are you all diabetes sufferers on ARB or Atacand? What is your doctor said?
1260320 tn?1270394906 Benicar keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Benicar HCT has a diuretic included as well. I have been fortunate, Benicar has worked from the first day I took it and works well still today. My 90 day average BP is 108/67 down from 135/85 when I started. I have had no side effects as well, the best of both worlds!
Avatar n tn Why spend $100k+ and risk open-heart surgery and all the attendant risks when you can just drive to Walgreens or CVS and pop a pill everyday that will keep you off the operating table? That is why I stress that you need to educate yourself on this topic and find a cardiologist who knows about these studies and, if appropriate, is willing to prescribe these medications for you.
Avatar f tn Unless you have extensive family history of breast, colon, or ovarian cancer your risk for cancer is low. 95% of cysts are benign.
681148 tn?1437661591 My cousins are related through both sets of parents, so my risk is the same as theirs is of developing this rare form of breast cancer. They are more closely related than ordinary first cousins, since they are double first cousins. The symptoms I've had myself recently had me frightened. I'm glad I had the mammogram, so my anxiety level is greatly reduced now that I know nothing abnormal showed up in the test.
Avatar m tn She was tested 3 times and and all of the pap smears came back as low grade and tested negative for any high risk HPV strains. We had been married for a long time and the HPV must have come from a previous relationship, well over a decade ago. Unfortunately a subsequent/precautionary LEEP revealed Stage 1b1 cervical cancer and after a successful hysterectomy and radiation, my wife had a recurrence & metastasis and has since passed away.
Avatar m tn herpes is never linked to cervical cancer. Only HPV increases your wife risk of this cancer.
Avatar n tn Just as an FYI, there is an MD who is very very good at explanations on chemotherapy and answers quickly. He is located on the Expert Forum, under Ovarian Cancer and a subtitle of chemotherapy. His name is Kamal Saini, MD and at this moment, he is pictured to the right of this message under "Expert Activity. He would be one very good source of information from the chemotherapy standpoint. I wish you luck and God's blessings.
Avatar m tn Research also indicates oral contraceptives are associated with lowered risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer, as well as colorectal cancer. Women should discuss their family history of all cancers with their doctor when evaluating the risks and benefits of using birth control pills.
Avatar f tn When present, this gene variant increases the risk of lung cancer, especially the risk for small cell lung cancer. Your mother may or may not have this gene variant but that doesn’t mean that you have it. And, if you do have it, the increased risk, in no way, means that you will get lung cancer, small cell or other, especially now that you have quit smoking. The role of lung cancer screening tests is still not clear.
Avatar m tn my wife and I had genital herpes for years, now I read that people with genital herpes are at a higher risk of having cervical cancer, is it true and is there anything we can do to lessen the risk. I really appreciate your answer, thank you!
Avatar f tn In other words, for any one person the risk of radiation-induced cancer is much smaller than the natural risk of cancer. If you combine the natural risk of a fatal cancer and the estimated risk from the 3mSv, the total risk may increase from 1000 chances in 5000 to 1001 chances in 5000. So, yes there is an increase risk, but the increase is very small. Hope this answer clears things up for you.
Avatar n tn Further, as far as the issue of cancer risk is concerned, please be aware that even those HPVs which are associated with increased risk for cancer rarely lead to cancer and that the vast majority resolve without any therapy at all. I would not worry about risk for oral cancer in relationship to your filiform wart. As for your specific questions, using the same order as used in your post: 1. See above.
Avatar m tn If so, did your results show the mutation on the BRCA 1 and/or 2 gene? If you do have either one or both of these mutations then your risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer are increased significantly. It's important to be genetically tested in order to aid you in your decision process. It can also help other members of your family to understand their own risks of these cancers.

Avatar n tn I am writing on the connection of cancer in general (but breast cancer is specific) on cardiovascular risk associated with breast cancer. I am aware that treatment, whether it be chemo or radiation, can cause issues but I have been unable to find anything to support that the cancer itself causes problems. My prof assures me that it does. If anyone could help me out, or point me in the right direction on this topic I would be very grateful.
335728 tn?1331414412 This study looks at the risk of the development of cancer in 6,820 patients with MS and compares that risk to the population risk of cancer, matched for sex, age, site of cancer and year of cancer diagnosis. This careful study shows a welcome positive finding that the risk of all cancers, and colorectal cancer in particular was reduced in people with MS. This was the same in relapsing remitting and progressive MS.
Avatar f tn I am 55 years old had recttal cancer removed 4/o8, and luckly no bag and no treatment. I have dense breast with micro calcification. Had a biopsy of right breast 2 years ago and was fine. Went for mamo and sono this past Monday and they saw microcalcification that they say is suspicious. So next friday I go to the hospital for yet anothet biopsy. My question is, for my surgery in april for the rectal cancer I had a chest cat scan and a full body pet scan. Both came up good.
498596 tn?1210700259 The lifetime ovarian cancer risk for BRCA1 mutation carriers is 35 to 60 percent, and the risk for BRCA2 mutation carriers is between 10 to 27 percent." So there is a slight difference between the two. But remember, it's only a risk, not a guarantee because of so many other factors involved.
Avatar n tn I feel pressure all the time too. Can anyone tell me if you have a high risk of getting cancer if you have had cysts and endo in past? Thanks!
Avatar m tn I know that HPV-16 is the cancer causing one, and I know that not all high-risk related strains develop cancer; and that it usually clears itself within months/years. What would the risk be of giving unprotected oral and HPV related cancer or getting infected with HPV orally?
492898 tn?1222243598 Chemotherapy and radiation therapy for breast cancer may indeed increase the risk of developing a second malignancy, mostly hematologic ones (like leukemia). However, the risk of developing these is significantly lesser than the risk of the breast cancer returning or spreading if the patient opts not to receive chemo and radiation.
Avatar m tn what i meant is tdf has zero relevant sides effect but this is not the point the whole post is corrupted with things that have nothing to do with etv and its cancer risk, and that is the annoying point because this is the usual way trolls act on internet and not discussing posts
Avatar f tn Hi Nora, Don't drive yourself crazy looking up stuff online. (I have done that.) Call the American Cancer Society and request booklets for information about breast cancer, breast cancer and diet, alcohol & BC, & they are all free. I did the same thing you did, drinking 2 glasses of beer or wine 5-7 days a week (sometimes more on my days off) thinking it would help prevent heart disease (I have family risk on both sides of the family) and & thinking it reduced stress.
