\"Cancer\"<\/p>\n

The mental and emotional stress caused by a cancer diagnosis is usually a result of its fatal nature. Recently, there has been a rise in the number of people suffering from cancer. It is the second leading cause of death across the world.<\/p>\n

Are you aware that there are more than a hundred different cancers, and any organ can get affected? Let us learn more.<\/p>\n

What is cancer?<\/p>\n

Cancer is a disease where normal cells somehow alter their usual course of growth. As a result, cells multiply in an uncontrolled manner, leading to the formation of a tumour. A tumour is an abnormal growth caused by a collection of abnormal cells in the body. However, there are two types of tumours: benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous).<\/span><\/p>\n

Types of cancer<\/p>\n

A tumour can arise from many specialized cells or tissues throughout the body. Based on the origin, cancerous tumours can be broadly classified as follows:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Carcinoma: Cancer cells arise in the skin or tissues that line or cover internal organs, for example, lung cancer.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sarcoma: Cancer cells develop in bone, fat, muscle, cartilage, blood vessel, or other connective tissue, for example, osteosarcoma.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Leukaemia: Cancer cells are created from white blood cells (WBC), for example, acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Lymphoma and Myeloma: Cancer cells grow in immune system cells, for example, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and multiple myeloma.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Central Nervous System Cancer: Cancer cells that arise in the spinal cord or brain, for example, glioma.<\/p>\n

Stages of cancer<\/p>\n

Oncologists determine the stages of cancer using various staging systems. These staging systems provide relevant information like the size, location, cell type, grade, and metastasis (extent of spread) of the tumour.<\/p>\n

Here are the different stages of cancer:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stage 0: Abnormal cells are present that haven\u2019t spread extensively, but they have the potential to turn into cancer.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stage 1: Cancer is visible in a small area of the organ and hasn’t spread to nearby tissues.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stages 2 and 3: Cancer has developed further and is affecting the surrounding tissues and lymph nodes.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stage 4: Advanced stage tumour that spreads to multiple organs.<\/p>\n

How does cancer develop?<\/p>\n

The causes of cancer depend on the type of cancer. However, some common aspects can increase your risk of developing cancer.<\/p>\n

Mentioned below are the most common causes of cancer:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Genes: If you have a family history of cancer, it may increase your chances of developing it. Research suggests that nearly 5-10% of cancers are hereditary (transferred from parent to child)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Lifestyle: 30- 40% of cancer cases globally are caused by unhealthy lifestyles or obesity. Certain unhealthy habits, such as excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor nutrition, can lead up to the development of many cancers.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Environment: Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can cause skin cancer. Apart from that, exposure to chemicals and pollutants can also lead to various types of cancer.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hormonal imbalance: Researchers suggest that hormonal imbalance is associated with an increased risk of certain cancers, such as ovarian and prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

Key symptoms of cancer<\/p>\n

Cancer cannot be detected based on any one symptom. It comes with various symptoms, depending on the part of the body that is affected.<\/p>\n

Below are some common symptoms linked with, but not specific to, cancer:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Extreme fatigue (tiredness)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Presence of lumps under the skin<\/p>\n

\u2022 Unexplained loss or gain of weight<\/p>\n

\u2022 Digestive or bladder issues<\/p>\n

\u2022 Breathlessness or difficulty in swallowing<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hoarseness or prolonged cough<\/p>\n

\u2022 Muscle soreness or joint pain<\/p>\n

\u2022 Recurrent fevers and heavy night sweats<\/p>\n

\u2022 Unusual bruising or bleeding<\/p>\n

\u2022 Yellowing or redness of the skin<\/p>\n

\u2022 Noticing new moles or changes in existing moles<\/p>\n

How can you prevent cancer?<\/p>\n

The key to preventing cancer is being aware of the various factors that cause it and avoiding them as much as possible for healthy living. Prevention is possible by taking a few precautions for cancer:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Quit smoking<\/p>\n

\u2022 Eat a healthy diet<\/p>\n

\u2022 Be physically active<\/p>\n

\u2022 Limit your alcohol intake<\/p>\n

\u2022 Maintain a stress-free lifestyle<\/p>\n

\u2022 Avoid exposure to chemicals and pollutants<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ensure to get cancer vaccines that are available for specific types of cancers<\/p>\n

Treatment of cancer<\/p>\n

Although cancer cannot be cured completely, you can stop it from spreading by using certain cancer drugs and therapies. Doctors often employ particular cancer medicines and treatments for the patient, depending on the health condition and disease progression.<\/p>\n

The following are the different cancer treatment options:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Immunotherapy<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chemotherapy<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hormonal therapy<\/p>\n

\u2022 Surgery<\/p>\n

\u2022 Radiation<\/p>\n

Newer cancer treatments<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stem cell transplant<\/p>\n

\u2022 Targeted therapies (small-molecule drugs and monoclonal antibodies)<\/p>\n

Corticosteroids like prednisolone are sometimes prescribed during cancer treatment to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. In such cases, your doctor may recommend solutions like Omnacortil Oral Solution 60ml<\/a>, which contains prednisolone as the active ingredient.<\/p>\n

Myths related to cancer<\/p>\n

Myth: Eating sugar and artificial sweeteners can cause cancer and worsen it.<\/p>\n

Fact: Sugar and artificial sweeteners have no relation with cancer.<\/p>\n

Myth: Cancer is infectious and can spread by touch.<\/p>\n

Fact: Cancer is a non-infectious condition confined to the body of the affected person. It cannot spread via touch.<\/p>\n

Myth: Cancer surgery can cause cancer to spread.<\/p>\n

Fact: Cancer surgeries usually control the spread of cancer.<\/p>\n

Myth: Herbal medicines can cure cancer.<\/p>\n

Fact: Cancer treatments do not include herbal medicines. Surgery, cancer vaccines, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are the right choices for cancer treatment.<\/p>\n

Cancer can be treated.<\/p>\n

Cancer is a life-threatening disease. Though it cannot be cured, the evolution of medical science has helped increase the survival rates of many types of cancer. Progress is possible with appropriate screening, advanced cancer treatments, and preventive care. A positive mindset is another critical component in the battle against cancer.<\/p>\n
