ECT and PET

If the diagnosis cancer reads, fast a shock adjusts itself with the concerning. The question about the treatment forms is asked and during their answer to push also the medical profession fast to the borders its that is possible. Since the face of death wakes usually undreamt-of Ernergie with humans, these are interested in everything that promises improvement. Thus also alternative cancer treatments come more and more into the focus.

An example is the Misteltherapie. In addition, apart of herbs attractive alternative cancer treatments show up. A procedure, which in the cancer diagnostics becomes ever more important, is position emission tomography (PET). It concerns a procedure out of the nuclear medicine. In addition it exists already an advancement, which consists of a combination PET and the computer tomography (CT). This procedure, which is considered as alternative cancer treatment, is called briefly PET/CT. PET/CT makes cancer cells visible, by making themselves the strongly increased metabolism of the degenerate cells.

The interesting cell ranges are represented as bright bright marks in the PET admission. Ranges, which exhibit a healthy metabolism, are darkly represented.
From this follows: Now if remarkable cell ranges show up in the PET, UCT is used. In only one investigation an CT-admission (computer tomography) is provided at the same time. After the investigation the PET and the CT-photographs are then assigned anatomically correctly each other. Like that is recognizable for the therapist, which anatomical structure corresponds to the remarkable multi-enrichment in the PET and thereby a safe diagnosis can usually place.

A further alternative cancer treatment and - diagnostics is the percutaneous Electro Carcinom therapy (ECT) - current therapy. This is based on the principle that weak direct current is led into the Tumore. Electrical charges to the this extent affect destructively the cells. They become smaller or disappear.
The large advantage of the ECT therapy is that it is a very side effect-poor procedure.
