That trip, which begins in the diagnosis, continues during pregnancy and culminates in a birth, creates stress and a lot of growth for the couple, who, long before parenthood, and begins to think as such.

Who need reproductive treatment, “usually as seekers of information to read all materials on the subject, speak with others, watch movies and reported, but often neglect the most important: what place does not have to be in the head, but the space and the desire is growing in the emotional and has to be room for that, “said the expert.

Precisely to ensure that the couple who started treatment (which receive eggs, sperm or embryos in some cases) to reflect on the meaning and social and emotional impact it can have on each genetic imprinting, it is necessary the therapeutic.

In this space, couples who have poor communication or who do not know how to deal with the anxiety that can lead to treatment, they can begin to listen. “People tend to generate internal dialogues, i.e. guess the thought of another because they are not willing to know the answer or can not explain what happens. In the therapeutic area is intended that all is said, to talk, “said Lance.

Sure, sometimes there unconscious sabotage. “To save yourself the frustration that may eventually be negative, just the day you have to have sex, many couples are full of compromises, have invited them to dinner or get a headache. Then they say: ‘I do not want to go through the failure’, when for many, failure is not trying “, exemplified the specialist.

The operation, conducted on October 28, 2009 by a team of Bobbing Avicenna hospital on the outskirts of Paris, “led not only to remove the cancerous lesion with important safety margins but also prevent the planned complete ablation of lung gesture that implies a very high risk of postoperative mortality, “he said in a statement.

The patient “is doing very well,” said Professor Emmanuel Marti nod, the thorax surgeon who performed the operation vascularity.

Artificial bronchus was performed with a biological tissue (aortic) reinforced by a metal structure inside (stent). Was kept cold in a tissue bank. This process gives the advantage of not requiring anti-rejection drugs, contraindicated in cancer.

The experimental work that enabled the world premiere was performed in the laboratory biosurgical Research headed by Professor Alain Carpenter, was noted.

“Our commitment is based on 10 years of research,” said Professor Marti nod He estimated, however, that “had to be careful” in waiting.

A study of 20 to 30 patients to be launched this month to confirm the first result, which will be published in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery.

Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are key to the cure of pediatric cancer patients. Create awareness on the need for all children everywhere have access to these two pillars of recovery is the objective of the International Childhood Cancer Day, established since 2001 in Luxembourg.

In Argentina, there are wide disparities in access to these rights in different regions of the country. “While the results obtained in the main hospitals of the City of Buenos Aires are similar to those of recognized institutions in Europe, not the case in some provinces,” said a statement from the Natalie Daphne Flexor Foundation, dedicated to fighting disease in children.

To publicize the problem of these patients, the entity carrying out a campaign called “Stay up the shirt,” which invites the entire population out into the street with a white shirt to support children who suffer evil. Simultaneously throughout the country 25 NGOs active in the same struggle join this initiative, which also involve other countries in Latin America?

“Respect for the rights of children with cancer grew a lot in our country in recent years, but not the same thing happens in other Latin American nations, so we seek to be very expansive with our campaign,” said Edith DocSalud.com Grynszpancholc, President of the Foundation Flexor, an organization that assists more than a thousand families of cancer patients of low-income children each month.

The celebrities also joined the initiative, by enrolling in the Foundation’s website can participate in the raffle for an autographed jersey by forward Lionel Messy. In turn, adhere to the cause Fecund Arena actor, singer and cook Axel Fernandez Martini no Molina.

Grynszpancholc also represents Latin America for nine years in ICCCPO (International Confederation of Parents of Children with Cancer); an institution that claims the most comprehensive aid program focus on prevention when prophylactic measures for disease in children “are not possible.” In that sense, they emphasize that the focus should be on early diagnosis, containment and appropriate therapy.

“We need to make in the coming years, every February 15, all dress in white America to show their support to children with cancer and that beyond the socioeconomic conditions of residence and place everyone can access them rights: a treatment in a timely manner, within the best conditions of care, “concluded Grynszpancholc.

In Argentina, 65% of children with cancer is cured, a figure that could rise to 80%, if reached early diagnosis, proper treatment and care of the patient. It did so again the National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the Ministry of Health of the Nation, the International Day of the Fight against Childhood Cancer.

Although Pediatrics is not a common disease, makes a big impact on the physical, social and emotional patients and their families. Therefore, among other goals, the overall objective of the INC is to improve, strengthen and ensure a more equitable and quality in pediatric oncology in Argentina.

In this context, the Minister of Health of Argentina, Juan Manure, said having a school that “is working to ensure every child a more equitable and quality in all jurisdictions of the national territory” and that is promoting “human resource training in pediatric oncology.”

Manure also said “a subject as sensitive as childhood cancer, requires the joint efforts with the participation of all stakeholders”, while calling on doctors and health personnel to “sensitize the symptoms “that have the disease in boys,” to detect early and treat it properly.”

Early diagnosis helps to reduce child mortality as the INC recommended to contact those people (nurses, general practitioners, pediatricians, residents, and health workers) become familiar with common nonspecific signs and symptoms that, properly evaluated, enable early diagnosis of pediatric tumors.
