Many world leaders will come together with the purpose of holding a landmark summit on health. This summit will include debates on the fact that tens of millions are dying each year, as well as the fact that countries put in a lot of cost and responsibility for the occurrence of these diseases.

The UN General Assembly week in New York will tackle, among others, the wrath of these NCDs (Non-Communicable Diseases). NCDs include heart diseases, cancer, diabetes, etc which kill more than 36 people annually. This summit will be attended by 35 heads of states and governments, as well as fifty other foreign ministers and health. The two-day meeting will involve a deep discussion of the steps which will push governments to employ preventive measures for these diseases.

When it comes to cancer treatment it is said that the best cure is chemotherapy, while radiation therapy is perceived to be the second solution.

Radiation therapy is used for the treatment of malignant cancer. Unfortunately this method is neglected recently, making the cancer specialists Dr Ricky Sharma and Professor Gillies McKenna of the Medical Research Council’s Gray Institute for Radiation Oncology and Biology  to warn that the UK is no further improving its research in radiation, and funding it must be a priority.

Nowadays people can have their own choices, so choosing between treatments that seem most appropriate to them. Recently they have decided that chemotherapy is best for them, but the reality is that the radiotherapy and surgery remain the best “attackers” for the malignant cancer.

Dr. Timothy Daskivich of the University of California says that “We often don’t know what to tell these men in terms of their risk of dying of prostate cancer.”

ProstateCancer can be detected only by doing blood test which measures concentrations of prostate-specific antigen , a protein that was made in prostate that becomes elevated in men with prostate cancer.

If it is treated with the radiation or by doing surgery then prostate-specific antigen levels are checked ,if it shows any increase in prostate-specific antigen levels then it is sign of recurrence of prostate cancer. Biochemical recurrence means rising in prostate-specific antigen levels after having treatment may sometimes lead to death in man is not clear.

Recent studies states that rectal cancer was gradually increasing in the Americans below the age of 40, but colon cancer rates are remained constant for years.

This study had examined information from US Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results. It also observed data from 1973 and 2005 regarding rectal cancer cases. SEER also having the data on nearly percent of cancer cases in the America. It had diagnosed colon and rectal cancer in 7,661 people below age of 40.

This study states that

Over years rates of rectal and colon cancer were low.

Colon cancer rates were constant over years.

Recent reports from U.S -Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that nearly 40percent of girls only received one dosage of new vaccine, which fights against a virus that causes cervical and other types cancers.

More teenagers had already received a booster shot that prevents whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria from surveying 20,000 teens between 13 to 17 years.

Dr. Anne Schuchat said”We can see that more parents of adolescents are electing to protect their children from serious diseases such as pertussis (whooping cough), meningitis, and cervical cancer but there is clear room for improvement in our system’s ability to reach this age group.”
