can cocaine use cause ovarian cancer?

Question

Does surgery cause ovarian cancer to spread?

Answer 1

No: There is no evidence that Cocaine causes ovarian cancer. Cocaine is bad for your health for many reasons, but not this one!

Answer 2

No: Unaware of even one case report linking the two. Heavy use of smoked Cocaine has been linked to lung cancer, but it is difficult to separate this from the usual heavy tobacco smoking that Cocaine smokers also engage in. But ovarian cancer, no.

Answer 3

Yes: Any use of tobacco increases the risk of cancer, at multiple sites in the body.

Answer 4

Maybe: It isn't as great a risk factor as cigarettes but the risk is there. The answer depends on what your definition of high risk is.

Answer 5

Yes: Yes. See oral surgeon or ENT doc if you have any of these symptoms: Persistent mouth sore, persistent mouth pain, a lump or thickening in the cheek, a white/red patch on the gums, tongue, tonsil, or lining of the mouth, a sore throat, hoarseness or feeling that something is caught in the throat that does not go away, difficulty swallowing/chewing.

Answer 6

Unlikely: Most ovarian cysts resolve on their own or with treatment. Occasionally, they leak the cyst fluid within (ruptured cyst) or twist (ovarian torsion). When that happens there is usually some degree of pain.

Answer 7

Various cell types: Endometrial cancer is characterized by stage and cell type. Clear cell is a description of the type of cells and simply behave in a more aggressive growth pattern than others.

Answer 8

Endometrial cancer : Clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium is an uncommon, very aggressive variant. It has very different genetic changes in the tumor than does the common endometrial cancer.

Answer 9

Hard to say: Typical staging of cirrhosis is by a, b, c and not numbers. There might be another scale that they are using. Liver cancer is associated with cirrhosis. Stages are 1-4. I think that the best way to know is to clarify with the GI doctors to get a clear idea.

Answer 10

Cirrhosis/cancer: fibrosis is scarring, stages on scale of 0-4 or 0-6. at the last stage, it's called cirrhosis - no letters or numbers. people with cirrhosis are at risk for cancer. liver cancer is staged by TNM and indeed can be assigned I-IV - yet in real life no one uses that staging as the underlying liver function and tumor size is much more important in terms of outcome. We use Barcelona staging for that.

Answer 11

Vasospasm, directly: Cocaine usually leads to problems via vasospasm and severe high blood pressure leading to death of part of the heart. Smoked Cocaine can lead to direct lung injury itself (so called crack lung) and death.

Answer 12

Everything is faster: It can even kill you. It works on the sympathetic system.
