Unwanted neoplasm is an occasion to consult a doctor

With normal functioning in the body, there 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 it happens, and the cells begin to chaotically share. A neoplasm appears - it is a tumor, which is occupied by a section of medicine called "oncology".

Types of neoplasms

Neoplasms can be either benign, or malignant. A biopsy allows doctors to determine the type of tumor. 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 self-regulation signals, exists separately. Such cells enter the blood, lymph, spread to other organs in the body, where they begin to multiply and form metastases.

Causes of benign formations

The cell lives forty-two hours, it has time to conceive, live and perish during this time. A new one comes on, and the cycle repeats. If, for whatever reason, the frequency 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:

• Frequent inhalation of chemical vapors of toxic substances.
• Narcotic drugs.
• Smoking.
• Ultra-violet rays.
• Ionized irradiation.
• Imbalance of hormones.
• Reduced immunity.
• Sleep disturbance.
• Substandard products.
• Chemicals based on highly toxic alcohol.
• Nervous stress.

Cell mutation is quite possible in poor environmental conditions, poor nutrition, in conjunction with stress.

Stages of growth of neoplasms

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 neoplasm is formed, this is inevitable. If one of the genes is transformed, a benign tumor develops.

Promotion. Chemical promoters do not damage the DNA structure. 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 cancer pathology.

Progression . At the stage of progression, mutated cells increase at a lightning speed. Thus a new formation is formed. At this stage, even benign tumors cause bad health, there are incomprehensible spots on the skin. If you do not take timely measures, cancer can form. Genes mutate, the metastasis can begin.

Types of benign neoplasms

Benign neoplasm is a tumor that has several kinds.

• Fibroma. Diagnose in women (has a connective structure). It is localized in the uterus, ovaries, mammary glands, on the skin.
• Lipoma. Possible manifestation in any parts of the body. It is formed in fat cells.
• Chondroma. Tumor on cartilage.
• Osteoma. It is formed from bone tissue.
• Myoma. It is localized in the uterus.
• Angioma. Appears on the internal organs, on the skin or in the muscles.
• Lymphangioma. The lymph nodes.
• Neuroma. Growth of nerve trunks.
• Papilloma. Skin on the skin.
• Adenoma. Benign enlargement of the prostate gland.
• Cysts. Cavities filled with liquid.

Types of malignant neoplasms

Malignant neoplasm is a pathology that has several varieties depending on the type of damaged cells.

• Carcinoma.
• Melanoma.
• Leukemia.
• Sarcoma.
• Lymphoma.
• Teratoma.
• Choriocarcinoma.
• Glioma.

Methods of removing neoplasm in humans on the skin

There are several ways to remove neoplasms 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 to the study.

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. The high temperature destroys the formation on the skin. When electrocoagulation often remains scars, so the method is not suitable for use in open areas of the skin and face.

Cryodestruction. To eliminate tumors, liquid nitrogen is used. The temperature minus 195 freezes the 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 undermining 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.
