Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in India and has overtaken Cancer of the cervix to gain the top spot. It is slowly crawling into almost every household with 150, 000 new cases being diagnosed every year in India. According to research, many women in India who are detected with breast cancer usually do not have any knowledge about their condition. Moreover, even if they suspect it, they do not feel free to talk about it openly due to the stigma attached to breast cancer and also because of the strong sense of denial. It is not surprising; therefore, that the tumor gets detected in advanced stages, which is drastically affecting the survival rate and treatment options for the patients. It is possible to detect breast cancer using MRI mammograms and X Ray Mammograms to detect breast lumps at an early stage, and Breast Biopsy for not only detecting type of tumor but also receptor status. There are Breast Conserving Surgeries, Whole Breast reconstruction for patients who undergo mastectomy, and Conservative Axillary Dissection to prevent lymph oedema onset. There are latest radiation techniques such as Accelerated Partial Breast Radiation (APBI), IGRT and Brachytherapy for treating breast cancer tumors.

Cancers of the nervous system are often severe conditions that eventually become life threatening. Cancers of the nervous system may occur as primary tumors or as secondary or metastatic tumors that arise due to cancer that has spread from another part of the body. Primary tumors can occur at any age but they often affect people while they are in their prime. Most primary cancers are more common among males than females, although meningiomas are more common among females. Secondary tumors can spread to the nervous system from another site of origin through metastasis, compression or direct invasion.

Paediatric (Ped) Oncology

Cancer in childhood is uncommon. Out of 10,000 normal children, one will develop cancer during their childhood. The initial diagnosis can be frightening and stressful for child and his/her parents. These emotions are not out of place and quite understandable but they are also compounded by lack of information as well as some misconceptions. In most cases, there is no specific reason or cause for the child to have developed cancer as it is no one’s fault, so parents should not feel ashamed or guilty. The good news is that all childhood cancers are treatable and most are curable. The cancers can affect any part of the body- the most common affected are blood, brain, bones and muscles. The familiar cancers include: blood cancers (leukemia), cancers of the lymphatic system, (lymphomas), cancer of the brain and spinal cord, muscle and bone cancers (sarcomas) and other cancers seen in the very young children (embryonal cancers). As of today, more than 80% of children with cancer get cured, depending upon the type of cancer they are suffering from. Like for some cancers acute lymphoblastic leukemia and Wilms tumour, there is 90% cure rate, while that for Hodgkin disease, it is almost 95% provided the disease is detected early and treated appropriately. Children are not adults; their needs are different and need to be treated by someone who is trained to look after them. Paediatric oncologists are responsible for treating all malignant conditions among children like leukemia, bone cancers, wilms tumor, neuroblastoma, brain and spinal cord tumors among several others. With timely, appropriate and complete treatment, majority of children with cancer get cured and can lead their lives peacefully. Information and support are important to feel sure about the treatment. The more you know about cancer, the less confused or unprepared you will feel. Regular parent support group meetings should be attended, which will be an opportunity for parents of children with cancer to meet other parents whose children are either being treated or have completed treatment.

Thoracic Oncology

Lung cancer is an uncontrolled and abnormal growth of cells in lungs, this growth of abnormal cells do not carry out the functions of the normal lung cell and also do not help in developing healthy lung tissue. As these cells start growing in both the lungs; they divide swiftly and develop in the form of tumors, Lung cancer may spread to other parts of the body if not discovered and treated early. Mostly tumors that are in one place of the lung and not become noticeable to spread are called “benign tumors”. Tumor that spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or the lymphatic system is known as “malignant tumors”; usually the abnormal cells don’t develop in healthy lung tissues. Lung cancer is more difficult to treat when it spreads. One of the most common factors that can cause lung cancer are exposure to radon, air pollution, certain chemicals in the workplace; active passive smoking; or family history of lung cancer. Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among both male and female, it claims more lives each year than do prostate, ovarian and breast cancers combined.
