Health: New Hope For Cervical Cancer Patient

A new cervical cancer drug offers the first good hope of extending life for women with advanced stages of the disease, a study published in the United States today has found.

Existing chemotherapy regimes are largely ineffective against advanced stages of cervical cancer, which kills 250,000 women worldwide every year.

That’s why early screening is so critical — regular Pap smears have managed to reduce deaths in wealthy countries by 80 percent.

The study found that women who were given the drug bevacizumab (Avastin) along with their chemotherapy prolonged survival to an average of 17 months, compared with 13.3 months for those who only received chemotherapy.

Tumor shrinkage rates were 48 percent for patients who received the drug, compared with 36 percent for those who did not.

The results also indicated that the survival benefit did not come at the cost of diminished quality of life.

The phase III clinical trial separated the 452 patients into four treatment arms but found no significant differences in survival between those receiving cisplatin or topotecan (Hycamtin) chemotherapy treatments.

Genentech’s drug bevacizumab is currently approved by US regulators for use in several advanced cancers but has not yet been approved for gynecological cancer. It works to block blood vessel formation in the tumor.

Some 4,000 women die of cervical cancer every year in the United States.

The Essentials of Drinking Green Tea

What is Green Tea? 

Green tea is a type of tea that is harvested and preserved very quickly. Black tea is allowed to oxidize after it is picked, but green tea is immediately heated up to prevent this oxidation process. You can see this oxidation process happen on an Apple that is been sliced (The brown of the apple). 

Green teas are usually processed using a type of source such as steam or dry heat. This process is completely different than the other key types. 

Green tea is extremely popular in Japan and parts of China. It is only become more popular within the last decade for its antioxidant and health benefits.   

What are the Benefits of Green Tea? 

There are some great reasons why Asian countries have been drinking green tea for thousands of years. Not only does green tea quench the thirst, but it also has many antioxidant properties which can ward off cancer as well as protect your cardiovascular system. 

1. Antioxidant Booster – Green tea is loaded full of antioxidants. Antioxidants are called this because they protect your body against the oxidizing process. They help you fight off disease and help slow down the aging process. The main types of antioxidants in green tea are called Catechins and polyphenols. These antioxidants stop the inflammatory response which is associated with damaged DNA, cancers, and other diseases. These antioxidants also help actors dilators to the blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure and reduce the chance of clogging of your arteries. Green tea tends to have more antioxidants than other teas such as black tea. This is because green tea goes through very little processing which allows the antioxidants to remain intact.   

2. Heart Health – Green tea has a great ability to lower your blood cholesterol. It is also very beneficial at helping the body burn harmful forms of fat. Since these are two of the main contributors to heart disease, studies have shown that green tea can prevent heart disease from forming. The more green tea you drink in a day, the better the effects. Some Japanese studies have shown that if you drink at least 4 cups of green tea a day, it can lower your chance of developing heart disease by over 50%.   

3. Liver Health – Green tea is also a great detox or for the liver. In studies, green tea has been shown to protect the liver from toxic substances such as alcohol. Green tea can also protect the liver against inflammation. There are many other types of foods that help cleanse the liver, but green tea is a big player in the cleansing process.   

4. Digestive Aid – This next reason to drink tea hits closer to home. A point in my life I had extreme acid reflux and had gas pains often. I noticed when I drink green tea, these symptoms would subside significantly. After doing more research, I discovered that green tea is very well known at reducing intestinal gas and is also good at treating inflammation of other digestive disorders such as ulcers and other diseases such as Crohn’s disease. As stated earlier, it is also good at helping with acid reflux.  

5. Cancer Prevention – Asian countries that drink a lot of green tea tend to have significantly lower cancer risk than other countries that do not drink green tea. Studies have shown that green tea has great potential to fight off many forms of cancer. Green tea can lower your cancer risk anywhere from 20 to 50% depending on the type of cancer.   

6. Weight Loss – more studies need to be done on how effective green tea is on weight loss, but is thought that the Catechins that are found in the green tea create a thermogenic response in the human body. This helps the body burn calories at a faster rate. More green tea that is drank, the higher the body’s metabolic rate.   

7. Immune System Booster – Green tea acts as a general immune booster. Many of the chemicals in green tea have been used for thousands of years to reduce the symptoms of flu and colds. Evidence is also piling up about how green tea can slow the aging process by boosting the immune system.
