Our Senior Neuro-Oncologist Dr. K. Venkateswara Rao provides complete information about #braintumors, myths & facts about brain tumors, diagnosis, and treatment options for brain cancer. This video provides a comprehensive overview of brain tumors.

There are many types of brain tumors. The tumors are formed by abnormal growth of cells and may be either benign or malignant. Benign brain tumors grow and press on nearby areas of the brain. They rarely spread into other tissues and may recur. Malignant brain and spinal cord tumors are likely to grow quickly and spread into other brain tissues.

Malignant brain tumors can affect people of all ages. As always, early detection and treatment may save a life.

Consult a specialist immediately if you observe any of these symptoms.

What is Colorectal Cancer?

Colorectal cancer, also known as bowel cancer, occurs in the colon or rectum, forming malignant growths. These growths, called tumors, can invade and damage nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body.

Age: The risk of colorectal cancer increases with age, with most cases diagnosed in individuals over 50.

Family History: A family history of colorectal cancer or polyps increases the risk, especially if a close relative was diagnosed before age 50.

Personal History: Individuals with a history of colorectal cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) are at higher risk.

Lifestyle Factors: Poor diet (low in fiber, high in red or processed meats), lack of physical activity, obesity, smoking, and heavy alcohol consumption can increase the risk.

Genetics: Some inherited gene mutations, such as Lynch syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), can significantly increase the risk of colorectal cancer.

Race and Ethnicity: African Americans have a higher risk of colorectal cancer than other racial or ethnic groups.

Early detection through regular screenings, such as colonoscopies, can greatly improve treatment outcomes. If you're concerned about your risk or have symptoms, don't hesitate to reach out to our expert team at Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital.

We're here to support you every step of the way. Stay informed, stay proactive, and together, let's fight colorectal cancer!

Being aware of these risks is the first step in prevention:

Chronic Hepatitis: Infections like hepatitis B or C can elevate the risk.

Cirrhosis: Liver scarring due to alcohol or viral hepatitis increases vulnerability.

Alcohol Abuse: Excessive and prolonged alcohol consumption is a risk factor.

Obesity: It's linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a precursor to liver cancer.

Diabetes: Especially when combined with obesity, can increase the risk.

Exposure to Aflatoxins: Be cautious of mold-contaminated foods, a source of these toxins.

Tobacco Use: Smoking isn't just harmful to your lungs; it's linked to liver cancer.

Family History: A family history of liver cancer or liver disease can raise individual risk.

Prevention of Liver Cancer: Preventing liver cancer is possible with a few steps:

Vaccination: Get vaccinated for hepatitis B to reduce your risk.

Demystifying #livercancer: Understanding Signs and Symptoms

What is Liver Cancer?

The liver is the football-sized organ in the upper-right area of the stomach. The liver is a powerhouse in your body, responsible for vital functions like filtering blood and producing essential proteins. Liver cancer, scientifically known as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a condition where malignant cells form in the liver.

Signs and Symptoms of Liver Cancer:

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of liver cancer is crucial for early detection and timely intervention. Here are some common indicators:

Unexplained Weight Loss: Sudden and unexplained weight loss is a common early sign of liver cancer.

Abdominal Pain: Discomfort or pain in the upper right side of the abdomen can be a symptom.

Jaundice: Yellowing of the skin and eyes, a condition known as jaundice, can occur as the liver's function is compromised.

Swelling in the Abdomen: A swollen or distended abdomen can be a result of a growing liver tumor.

Loss of Appetite: A persistent loss of appetite and feeling full even after eating small amounts.

Fatigue: Unexplained and prolonged fatigue is a common symptom of liver cancer.

Nausea and Vomiting: Persistent nausea and vomiting can be a sign, particularly when accompanied by other symptoms.

Weakness: General weakness and a feeling of being unwell.

It's important to note that in some cases, liver cancer may not exhibit symptoms in its early stages. Regular screenings and medical check-ups can help detect the condition even when no symptoms are present.

Early detection is critical for effective treatment. If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms or has risk factors, consult a healthcare professional promptly.

Stay informed, stay vigilant, and prioritize your well-being.

Breast Cancer Risk Factors: Empower Yourself with Knowledge:

Knowledge is a powerful tool in the fight against breast cancer. Understanding the risk factors can empower you to take proactive steps toward your health. Here are some key risk factors to be aware of:

Age: The risk of breast cancer increases with age, with the majority of cases occurring in women over 50.

Gender: While it's less common, men can also develop breast cancer.

Family History: A family history of breast cancer can increase your risk, especially if it involves close relatives.

Genetics: Inherited gene mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, can predispose individuals to breast cancer.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Long-term use of HRT may increase the risk.

Lifestyle Factors: Certain lifestyle choices, like excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, and physical inactivity, can influence risk.

Radiation Exposure: Prior exposure to chest radiation, especially at a young age, can be a risk factor.

Dense Breast Tissue: Having dense breast tissue may increase the risk.

Early Menstruation/Late Menopause: Starting menstruation before age 12 or entering menopause after 55 may be associated with a higher risk.

Not Breastfeeding: Women who haven't breastfed or have done so for only a short duration may have a slightly higher risk.

Remember, having one or more risk factors doesn't mean you will definitely get breast cancer. Conversely, some people with no identifiable risk factors can still develop the disease. Regular check-ups, screenings, and a healthy lifestyle are essential in reducing the risk and ensuring early detection if cancer does occur.

Knowledge is your ally, and awareness is your shield. By understanding the risk factors, you are taking the first step in protecting your health.
