What Are the Different Types of Mouth Cancer?

http://www.livestrong.com/article/9217-need-mouth-cancer-forms/

According to the American Cancer Society, over 90% of all mouth cancers belong to a type called squamous cell carcinomas. These arise from flat, scale-like cells lining the mouth and throat. At first, only the outer layers of these cells ar…

Can you have skin cancer that shows in multiple different looking skin growths or types?

Q: What if it looks like its healing or is healed but still looks/feels strange? does skin cancer that’s spread generally form in all similar like ways? or can it show up in many different forms?I have no insurance and im having many skin changes, some DRY/ROUGH purple-like patches (almost wart like but flatter) that seems to be spreading, one has split or ulcerated and had a shiny yellow like and glistening inside this deep cut-like growth. It hardly bleeds, even when irritated and seems to be healing i think… i have researched psoriasis and eczema etc and it does not seem to even come close to resembling anything common…. i do have dry skin nearby but its not itchy enough to have become inf lammed from scratching etc….. 2 lesions are on the back of my hands (knuckles) plus nearby patches that have not ulcerated— i have been having severe Raynard’s syndrome causing obvious poor circulation to my hands from an undiagnosed systemic or autoimmune disease…..so maybe that is causing it?i also have noticed one skin colored mole on my shoulder/neck has seem to become more obvious-not sure if its larger or not but it is itchy so i’ve noticed it and been watching it.(there is nothing around it that may be what is itchy-its alone on otherwise normal perfect skin… it seems to have changed color some but could be blood stuck inside bc of unintentional scratching…. I also have bumpy changes in my mouth–sides of tongues, insides of cheeks and inside lower lip. and 2 ingrown-like waxy or smooth bumps on my face. You can hardly see them now, almost like the skin has grown over it but i can still feel the lump under the skin-it is the same in size or possibly growing slowly. please help me figure how important it is to see someone about this… my finances will really suffer if i have to pay for a dermatologist visit or walk in. thank you

A: If you have all of these problems going on it’s really best to consult a dermatologist,these spots may need to be treated,if any of them are melanoma,this can be fatal in the late stages,my husband had one on his arm and required surgery for it,it’s really best that you go and have this all checked out,we all take a hit on our finances but it’s worth it if it can save your life,Tomb Raider.

Thinking about a cancer theory, will you help me with your knowledge?

Q: Well, my cousin says that we have more people with more cancer than we did a hundred years ago. Of course that means that we are exposed to different things than our ancestors were. Of course the sun will cause skin cancer, and tobacco will cause mouth and lung cancer. But what about the other types, that happen to people who take care of their skin and don’t take drugs. I say one other factor is food right? Our ancestors ate different things, different from what others ate. When we change that really fast, and not slow like we did before. It messes up the body. The body will try to produce enzymes to digest these foods, but the cells will start becoming deformed and grow out of control. That might not be the cause, but food has to have some affect on this right? 200 years ago we ate chicken and fish and now we’re eating foods that have been altered or just not found in our ancestry. Since we’re introducing change too fast. and the humans are found to have a slow evolution clock thingyby evolution i mean deformaties that the human body finds to be beneficial to itself. like creating the lactase enzyme to digest milk. this is fairly recent, humans have added this. since most people are lactose intolerant (maybe in like the 80’s) now im the only one in class.

A: Your cousin needs to read a few more books & do a little logical thinking!The reason “more” (1 in 4) people get cancer at some point in their lives nowadays is because the average lifespan has been dramatically extended as a direct result of preventive medicine. The human body hasn’t changed significantly(there were people who lived to 100 then, too), but people no longer die (very often) from measles, flu, dysentry, being mangled by farm machinery, malaria….etc.,etc,.etc….

Will weed ever be legalized?

Q: Background: Marijuana has been illegal since what, the 70’s? It was legal for a short time since but it “didn’t work” so they illegalized it again. Countless man hours and police money is spent on it and even people with M cards and diseases are treated like criminals sometimes. Plenty more.Plan: US Federal Gov’t should begin the long, gradual process toward marijuana legalization.Advantage 1: Police/crime-Less money wasted.-Less man hours wasted on it, more for things like robberies and murders that actually affect people.-Suffering people with M cards get to use their prescribed medicine in peace.—Look at Denver, CO. Not totally legal but mostly reduced to something like a fine. Only 21 and over can have it legally (just like alcohol) and only up to a ounce (more and they’re charged with dealing).Ad 2: Tax money/warnings about health risks-Start legalizing it, marijuana products companies will form, say there’s a weed pack like cigs, tax the heck out of it if you want (money for desperate gov’t), put giant health risk labels on if you want. (If people don’t mind damaging their brains, it should be their right as Americans to do so). Nobody has to use it if they don’t want to. Make people smoke only 25 feet or more from buildings if you want.Ad 3: Stuff is more fun, food tastes better, fingers look like little people-Not for me but there would be a lot of grateful SnusAd 4: Drug rights-Let poor, treated like an African-American by police weed rejoin his unhealthy but loved by millions BFFs, alcohol and tobacco.-Alcohol is really a type of liquid poison, cigarettes are loaded with additives and contain things like ammonia and tar (delicious, delicious tar if you ask me). Are those really that much healthier than marijuana. Rhetorical question, hellz no!Now the disadvantagesDisad 1: Afraid of change-Just like Cuba Embargo, which will be lifted pretty soon.Disad 2: Health risks-Yeah, but are cigarettes illegal? No, you can get them everywhereDisad 3: Spike in use after legalization-True but only temporary. Like when you take a toy away from a baby and it suddenly really wants it. People want what they can’t have, natural human trait. Would be like this: up, plateau, then down + moreDisad 4: Gateway drug-True, it can be, but here’s what you do to solve that: when you’re greatly lowering restrictions on marijuana, greatly tighten restrictions on harder drugs. When people see how much easier it is to get marijuana and how much harder it is to get hard drugs, hard drug use will go down. Seriously, those drugs are horrible for you. Good whatchamacallit for damage from ecstacy is that it takes ice cream scoops out of your brain. Heroin is worst, meth is prob 2nd worst, but it’s all bad with hardcore drugs. Watch any documentary about an addict to see why.Conclusion: Told both sides. Check facts, look at other countries, use common sense and you’ll see that it’s the obvious move.Oh wait, almost forgot . . . Ad 5: The Deaths-Alcohol: many drunk driving deaths. It’s the leading cause of death for teens in all states (DC, not a state, has a different leading cause. Gun violence, I think). Not just drunk driving deaths, alcohol poisoning deaths and deaths from drunk people killing someone too.-Tobacco and cigarettes: many deaths (isn’t it 60,000 deaths a year just in the US?) from smoking-related diseases like lung cancer. Chewing tobacco causes cancer too, but mostly mouth cancer. If you’re a smoker, you might have to get your voice box removed and replaced with a robotic one. Great for a robot costume to scare trick-or-treaters with! Doesn’t just kill smokers, also kills non-smokers who inhale the secondhand smoke on a regular basis (secondhand smoke is more harmful cuz it’s not filtered). Perfect gift for your spouse who sits nearby when you smoke in the living room, an early death!-All these health dangers and you can buy all of the above at pretty much any store that sells food and drinks.-Marijuana: Pretty much no high driving deaths because high drivers are calm and cautious while drunk drivers are more reckless and aggressive. Can’t overdose from smoking weed. You can have to go to the hospital from eating too much weed in food, but I don’t think you can die from it (or it’s just very unlikely).Secondhand weed smoke can damage non-smokers who inhale it, but that’s why you would just make a “no weed smoking in buildings or within 25 feet of them” rule too.High people don’t kill people cuz they are too busy looking at their hands and eating Doritos.Ok, now I’m done . . . smoke weed every day.Edit: is popping tons of pills and alcohol the drug of choice for the winners then? Hypocrite.Nope. I can’t smoke weed anymore but I have fond memories of it. I think alc, weed, and tobacky are all ok in moderation. The problem is that so many people these days don’t have enough self control to do em in moderation. Only bad drugs IMO are ones like meth, heroin, and cocaine that kill people and ruin lives.

A: well it is being decriminalized in many states, and I think more states will continue to decriminalize it. Legalization is a long ways away, but I think eventually it will be legal nationwide.
