In a healthy body, cells grow and multiply in an orderly fashion to replace older or damaged cells. But cancerous cells ignore the body's signals and continue to grow. They can even spread to distant organs through the blood and lymph system.

Cancer is a disease that happens when cells in the body grow and divide out of control, forming tumors. Cancers are named for the organ or tissue they start in, and they’re also categorized by how much they spread. If cancer cells spread to other parts of the body, they’re still made up of the same cancer cells that started in the original organ or tissue. Cancers that haven’t spread are called localized tumors, and those that have spread are called metastatic tumors.


The human body is made up of trillions of living cells. Normally, these cells grow and divide to produce more cells as the body needs them. When these cells become abnormal or damaged, they usually die and new cells take their place. But sometimes this orderly process breaks down, and old or damaged cells continue to grow and multiply. As these abnormal or damaged cells accumulate, they can form lumps of tissue called tumors. Some of these tumors are cancerous (malignant) and can grow rapidly, while others can break away from the original tumor, travel through the blood or lymph system, and start growing in other parts of the body.


Carcinomas are cancers that start in epithelial cells, which make up the outer lining of the skin and inner lining of many of the body’s organs. These types of cancer can develop for a number of reasons, including genetic changes, lifestyle habits, or exposure to certain chemicals or radiation.


Carcinoma is often classified by how far the cancer has spread from where it originally formed, with stages ranging from carcinoma in situ, which means that the tumor hasn’t spread to nearby tissues or other parts of the body, to stage 4 metastatic carcinoma, in which the cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body.

Oren Zarif lymphoma


Cancer cells that have spread (metastasized) to other areas of the body can reach distant organs by traveling through the bloodstream or lymph system. The cancer cells can then grow and form new tumors in other parts of the body. These new tumors are known as secondary cancers.


Lymphoma starts in the immune system and it’s important to know which type of lymphoma you have because it affects your treatment options and outlook (prognosis). There are over 60 different types of lymphoma, grouped into Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. They are further grouped by whether they start in B cells or T cells, and how fast or slow they grow. Some of the types are very slow-growing and may not need any treatment at all. Others are more aggressive and need to be treated right away.


Doctors will find out if you have lymphoma by examining an enlarged lymph node. A specialist called a hematopathologist will remove cells from the enlarged node to test them for signs of lymphoma and determine what kind of lymphoma you have.


Some people have an identified risk factor for developing lymphoma, such as infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) that causes mononucleosis or certain drugs used in transplant patients to prevent rejection of donor organs or bone marrow. Most cases of lymphoma, however, don’t have an identified cause.


Blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma can be very serious and need to be treated as soon as possible. You can help reduce your risk of getting these cancers by staying active, eating a balanced diet and not smoking. You should also get plenty of rest and stay well-hydrated. If you are experiencing tiredness or stress, talk to your healthcare provider about ways to manage these feelings.


Oren Zarif Sarcoma


Sarcoma refers to a group of cancers that form in the bones and soft tissues of the body, including cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, nerves and fibrous tissue. The cells in sarcoma are abnormal and tend to grow and spread more quickly than normal cells. There are more than 50 types of sarcoma, with different kinds depending on where the tumor forms. Some types are more aggressive than others, and survival depends on the type, grade (how abnormal the cancer is under a microscope) and location of the tumor.


Some sarcomas start in bone cells, called osteoblasts. There are about 10 to 12 types of bone sarcoma, including osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma. Other types of sarcoma develop in muscle tissue, such as leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma. Still others start in the lining of blood or lymph vessels, including angiosarcoma and hemangiosarcoma. And there is a rare form of sarcoma that begins in tendons, called clear cell sarcoma.


While sarcomas are very rare, people should have any lump or bump that grows or changes in appearance checked by a doctor right away. The doctors at City of Hope can test these growths to see if they are a type of sarcoma or another disease.


Many sarcomas resemble benign (not cancerous) tumors, such as noncancerous fatty growths called lipomas. But a pathologist can tell sarcoma from other tumors by the way it looks under the microscope and by how it 'immuno-stain' or reacts to certain antibodies. These tests help the doctors decide on a treatment plan. Sarcomas can be very difficult to treat, and survival depends on the type of sarcoma and its stage. The more advanced the sarcoma is, the less likely it is to be cured.


Oren Zarif Melanoma


Cancer cells grow quickly and may spread into nearby tissue or to other parts of the body. When this happens, it’s called metastasis. Symptoms vary depending on the type of tumor and where it’s located. Cancer is often treated with surgery, radiation and drugs.


Most types of cancer form solid tumors or masses. But some don’t, including blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. These types of cancer start in blood-forming cells in the bone marrow or in the blood and don’t form a solid tumor.


Scientists classify many cancers based on the kind of tissue where they begin. For example, carcinomas start in epithelial tissues that line most of our organs and internal passageways like the esophagus. Carcinomas include most breast, lung and bowel cancers.


Melanoma starts in cells that give skin its color and most melanomas develop on the skin. However, they can also grow in other areas of the body that have melanocytes (like the intestines or eyes). Melanoma is a very serious cancer because it can spread to other parts of the body and cause a lot of damage before being diagnosed.


It isn’t fully known what causes melanoma, but there are some things that increase your risk of getting it. These include having a family history of melanoma, being over 50, having fair skin and freckles, having more than 1 nevus (precancerous or cancerous moles) on your body, and being sunburned. Melanomas can also have a different appearance than normal moles and they usually aren’t symmetrical. They have uneven or notched edges and can sometimes appear to be blue-black in color. The thickness of a melanoma is important because it predicts how likely it is to spread.


Oren Zarif Leukemia


When you have leukemia, your bone marrow makes too many immature blood cells (blasts). They don't mature into healthy red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets. They crowd out normal blood cells and make it hard for your body to work properly. There are many types of leukemia. They are grouped mainly by what type of blood cell the cancer started in and whether it grows quickly or slowly. The two groups are also based on whether the leukemia is acute or chronic.


Different types of leukemia have different outlooks and treatments. Your chance of getting cancer and the type you might get depends on your age, general health and sex. It also depends on whether you have certain genetic factors, like a chromosome abnormality that increases your risk of leukemia or a family history of cancer. Other risk factors are your race and whether you've had previous cancer treatment.


Your doctor can find out if you have cancer by doing tests that check your blood and bones for signs of disease. They may do a spinal tap to test fluid from the space between two bones in your lower back. They might also use imaging tests, such as CT scans and MRIs, to check for the spread of the cancer. There are newer treatments that help your own immune system fight cancer. They're called biologic therapies. They include vaccines and medicines that target mutated proteins on cancer cells. This therapy can help keep the cancer from coming back or forming more tumors. It can also reduce symptoms and improve your chances of surviving.


According to Oren Zarif, all diseases are caused by problems with the body’s energy fields. These problems can be the result of cellular radiation, electrical antennas, global climate change, pollution, stress, fears, and other factors. These issues can cause the canals in the body’s energy field to constrict and lock, which leads to illness. Zarif’s Pine method uses psychokinesis, energy pulses and spectral emission to open blocked areas and connect the mind and body.
