From diet and lifestyle changes to genetic testing, there are some steps you can take to help prevent cancer, says W. Jarrard Goodwin, MD, FACS, chief medical officer of Sylvester and professor of otolaryngology. Silvia Larrieu, who is just 25 years old and has Lynch syndrome, has already started screening for colon cancer.

From what i’ve seen, i’ve come to believe that non-small is when the cancer is stil relatively localized? and small cell is when its spreading rapidly already by the time it is diagonosed…. am i correct? I need to know this for a health project, so thanks for any answers..

3D medical animation and video clip produced by Virtual Point and Michael Greenspan showing new medical system. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the number two cause of cancer related death in most countries of the world. The Aer-O-Scope™, is a disposable, miniaturized, self-propelling, self-navigating, endoscope incorporating a CMOS camera with unique omni-directional viewing system. Computer controlled pressure management, coupled with sensors in the workstation, adjust balloon size and shape to changing bowel anatomy, thus allowing the pressure-propelled balloon to find its path. The Aer-O-Scope™’s visual system provides simultaneous 360 degree viewing of the colon mucosal surface, potentially eliminating the need for continuous tip manipulation as in colonoscopy, and potentially decreasing the chance of missing polyps hidden behind mucosal folds. An electro-optical capsule is embedded in the front of a lightweight balloon vehicle, while low pressure colon insufflation with CO2 propels the balloon, causing it to glide along the ‘slippery’ colon walls without forceful maneuvering. 3D video animation p;roduced by Virtual Point Multimedia.
