It doesn’t show any symptoms until in the later stages. In some cases, it is painless, which is the saddest part because it escapes from being detected thus, until too much harm is already caused.

Never think that you can’t get breast cancer, for anyone can get it, no matter your age or genetics, although that may play a part in it. Breast cancer can spread quickly so yearly check up will help you to avoid the cancer.

To discover and talk with someone who has successfully fought breast cancer all their lives, and are still surviving it is very heartening – whether it is someone you, yourself, or someone you know – the fight gives tremendous strength in times when making through it seems impossible. This strength will hold you up when people ridicule you, or mock at you for taking the cancer so seriously.

It’s (more…)

With a new year almost upon us, many of us are thinking about health and wellness and that goes for preventive care against common cancers like breast cancer, prostate and colon cancer, among others. Unfortunately, many diagnosed with cancer are faced with staggering drug costs, even though some of those drugs, especially Avastin, has shown great promise in treatment of breast cancer.

Some of the costs for cancer care may be absorbed by Medicare or private insurance, but still leaves patients dealing with debt in the amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Still, breast cancer treatments Abroad are suggested and encouraged for any individual who has received a diagnosis of breast cancer. When caught early enough, today’s therapies and treatments have grown increasingly successful in eradicating cancer cell growth and development, by as much as 70%.

Costs of biological hormone therapy treatments vary according to drug as well as the stage of cancer being treated. In the United States, price ranges for Avastin may cost up to USD 4,400 a month, while Herceptin costs an average of USD 3,000 a month.

In India, a year’s supply of Herceptin averages out to about USD 2,000 a month instead of the USD 3,000 a month in the U.S. In other locations such as Thailand and Singapore, medical travelers are also able to enjoy substantial savings.

Chemotherapy costs in the U.S. average about USD 500 per treatment, while comparative treatments in foreign destinations are much lower. A breast lump removal (lumpectomy) in the U.S. can cost an average of USD 2,500-USD 3,000, while such procedures can cost about USD 700 in India and about USD 1,000 in Singapore.

The Almater Hospital in Mexico and Makewell Meditour in India are just two of the many world-class and excellent facilities that provide cancer care Mexico and abroad. When it comes to your care, cost shouldn’t be a factor.

What is bladder?

A bladder is a muscular hollow organ that stores urine. It is located in the pelvic region. Urine from both the kidneys passes through ureter and reaches the bladder. When the bladder gets filled up to a certain level, the nerves send signal to the brain and we may feel the urge to urinate.

What is Bladder cancer?

Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. Cancer merely indicates towards a condition in which the cells start multiplying in an abnormal way. These extra cells can form a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant: Bladder cancer refers to any of several types of malignant growths of the urinary bladder. The process of invading and spreading to other organs is called metastasis. Bladder cancers are most likely to spread to neighboring organs and lymph nodes prior to spreading through the blood stream to the lungs, liver, bones, or other organs. Bladder cancer affects 3 times as many men as women.

Types of bladder cancers :

Urolithiasis is the medical term used to describe stones occurring in the urinary tract. Other frequently used terms are urinary tract stone disease and nephrolithiasis. Doctors also use terms that describe the location of the stone in the urinary tract. For example, a ureteral stone (or ureterolithiasis)

is a kidney stone found in the ureter. To keep things simple, however, the term “kidney stones” is used throughout this fact sheet.

Types of stones include :

The wall of the bladder is lined with cells called transitional cells and squamous cells. More than 90 percent of bladder cancers begin in the transitional cells. This type of bladder cancer is called transitional cell carcinoma. About 8 percent of bladder cancer patients have squamous cell carcinomas. All squamous cell carcinomas are invasive. This means that they gradually spread to deeper layers of the bladder wall if they are not treated. By the time these cancers are detected, they have usually already invaded the bladder wall. Many transitional cell carcinomas are not invasive. This means that they go no deeper than the transitional, or urothelial, layer.

Bladder cancers are classified or staged based on their aggressiveness and the degree that they are different from the surrounding bladder tissue. There are several different ways to stage tumors. Recently, the TNM staging system has become common. This staging system contains several sub stages, but it basically categorizes tumors using the following scale:

Stage 0 – This is a Non-invasive tumor limited to the bladder lining. Cancer that is only in cells in the lining of the bladder is called superficial bladder cancer. The doctor might call it carcinoma in situ. This type of bladder cancer often comes back after treatment. If this happens, the disease most often recurs as another superficial cancer in the bladder.

Stage I — Tumor extends through the lining, but does not extend into the muscle layer. Cancer that begins as a superficial tumor may grow through the lining and into the muscular wall of the bladder. This is known as invasive cancer. Invasive cancer may extend through the bladder wall. It may grow into a nearby organ such as the uterus or vagina (in women) or the prostate gland (in men). It also may invade the wall of the abdomen.

Stage II – In this, the tumor invades the muscle layer of the bladder.

Stage III — Tumor extends past the muscle layer into tissue surrounding the bladder.

Stage IV – In this, cancer has spread to regional lymph nodes or to distant sites (metastatic disease). When bladder cancer spreads outside the bladder, cancer cells are often found in nearby lymph nodes. If the cancer has reached these nodes, cancer cells may have spread to other lymph nodes or other organs, such as the lungs, liver, or bones.

When cancer spreads (metastasizes) from its original place to another part of the body, the new tumor has the same kind of abnormal cells and the same name as the primary tumor. For example, if bladder cancer spreads to the lungs, the cancer cells in the lungs are actually bladder cancer cells. The disease is metastatic bladder cancer, not lung cancer. It is treated as bladder cancer, not as lung cancer.

What are the causes?

There is no particular cause that has been found out. But Studies have found the following risk factors for bladder cancer:

Age- The chance of getting bladder cancer goes up as people get older. People under 40 rarely get this disease.

Tobacco- The use of tobacco is a major risk factor. Cigarette smokers are two to three times more likely than nonsmokers to get bladder cancer. Pipe and cigar smokers are also at increased risk.

Occupation- Some workers have a higher risk of getting bladder cancer because of carcinogens in the workplace. Workers in the rubber, chemical, and leather industries are at risk. So are hairdressers, machinists, metal workers, printers, painters, textile workers, and truck drivers.

Infections-Being infected with certain parasites increases the risk of bladder cancer. These parasites are common in tropical areas.

Medications- cyclophosphamide or arsenic are used to treat cancer and some other conditions. They raise the risk of bladder cancer.

Approximately 20% of bladder cancers occur in patients without predisposing risk factors. Bladder cancer is not currently believed to be heritable (i.e., does not “run in families” as a consequence of a specific genetic abnormality).

What are the Symptoms?

The symptoms described below are not sure signs of bladder cancer. Infections, benign tumours, bladder stones, or other problems also can cause these symptoms. So incase of these symptoms, one must consult an urologist or correct diagnosis. Moreover most of the symptoms listed below can be associated with bladder cancer, but they can also be associated with non-cancerous conditions. Nevertheless, medical evaluation is critical.

* Blood in the urine
* increased Urinary frequency or Urinary incontinence
* Painful urination
* Urinary urgency

Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease are Bone pain or tenderness, abdominal pain, Anaemia, Weight loss, Lethargy (tiredness).

Disadvantages of the surgery

Bladder cancer surgery may affect a person’s sexual function. Because the surgeon removes the uterus and ovaries in a radical cystectomy, women are not able to get pregnant. Also, menopause occurs at once. If the surgeon removes part of the vagina during a radical cystectomy, sexual intercourse may be difficult. In the past, nearly all men were impotent after radical cystectomy, but improvements in surgery have made it possible for some men to avoid this problem. Men who have had their prostate gland and seminal vesicles removed no longer produce semen, so they have dry orgasms. Men who wish to father children may consider sperm banking before surgery or sperm retrieval later on.

I love to drink freshly squeezed fruit juices as they not only taste great but come in so many colors and consistencies. Some fruit juices are full of vitamins, nutrients, minerals, digestive enzymes, pure water, and disease-fighting antioxidants. Fruit juices have the power to cleanse your body of toxic wastes. For example, Pomegranate juice has been claimed to help fight cancer; cranberry juice is good for the brain and help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. The red grape juice, like red wine, is beneficial to the heart. Prune juice which is high in fibre, iron, and potassium contains a natural laxative known as Sorbitol and is recommended for relieving constipation. Perhaps the most common fruit juice which is cheap and easily available is orange juice. It is loaded with vitamin C and has immune-boosting benefits.

Recently I read about a tropical fruit juice which has amazing health properties – the Sour Sop juice. The juice is white with a creamy flavor reminiscent of coconut or banana and has a refreshing sweet sour taste.

Sour sop, which is also known as Guyabano in Spanish and Graviola in Portuguese grows mainly in the tropical regions. The flesh of the fruit consists of a juicy white edible pulp that is high in fibre, carbohydrates, Vitamins C, B1, B2, and potassium. Fortunately it is also low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. Sour sop can be eaten raw when ripe and can be made into ice-cream, sherbets, candies, tarts, shakes and other beverages.

Sour sop has been used as traditional herbal medicine in many countries. It has been used to suppress spasms, induce sweating and vomiting, Boiling the leaves of the fruit tree and drinking it help reduce fever and induce sleep. The crushed leaves can be applied to the skin to alleviate rheumatism and eczema.

Studies on sour sop have been done over the last few decades by leading medical institutions, pharmaceutical companies and universities. Findings and results have shown that certain compounds and chemicals extracted from sour sop fruit, seeds, leaves and bark appeared to kill cancer cells without harming the normal cells. They were proven to be effective in hunting down and killing cancer cells in the breast, lung, prostate, pancreas and colon.

In a separate study, scientists have proven that a chemical found in the sour sop selectively killed colon cancer cells at 10,000 times the potency of Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapy drug.

Conventional healthcare professionals may regard such alternative medicine and claims as unproven and even harmful. Indeed there are some drawbacks in consuming sour sop. It is known to interact poorly with antidepressants, affect blood pressure and destroy good bacteria in the stomach.

So it is wise to consume fruit juices, including sour sop juice, in moderation, especially those who are obese and diabetic.

As for me, drinking a freshly squeezed fruit juice after an exhausting exercise is a great treat.

Thyroid Cancer Treatment in India can be done under Jaslok Health Group which is known as pioneer in the treatment of Cancer patients for long time. India provides professional medical team of surgeons and physicians for the comfort and benefit of the patient at its best. Thyroid Cancer is a cancer that starts in the thyroid gland. To understand Thyroid Cancer, it helps to know about the normal structure and function of the thyroid gland. Thyroid cancer usually refers to any of four kinds of malignant tumors of the thyroid gland: papillary, follicular, medullary or anaplastic. Most patients are 25 to 65 years of age when first diagnosed; women are more affected than men. Papillary and follicular tumors are the most common. They grow slowly and may recur, but are generally not fatal in patients under 45 years of age. Medullary tumors have a good prognosis if restricted to the thyroid gland and a poorer prognosis if metastasis occurs. Anaplastic tumors are fast-growing and respond poorly to therapy. Jaslok Health Group in India provides best physicians and surgeons to their patients for better assistance and treatment.

Modules present for Thyroid -

Benign nodules are not cancer. Cells from benign nodules do not spread to other parts of the body. They are usually not a threat to life. Most thyroid nodules (more than 90 percent) are benign. Malignant nodules are cancer. They are generally more serious and may sometimes be life threatening. Cancer cells can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Also, cancer cells can break away from a malignant nodule and enter the bloodstream or the lymphatic system. That is how cancer spreads from the original cancer (primary tumor) to form new tumors in other organs. The spread of cancer is called metastasis.

Most often the first symptom of Thyroid Cancer is a nodule in the thyroid region of the neck. However, many adults have small nodules in their thyroids, but typically fewer than 5% of these nodules are found to be malignant. Sometimes the first sign is an enlarged lymph node. Later symptoms that can be present are pain in the anterior region of the neck and changes in voice. Thyroid Cancer is usually found in a euthyroid patient, but symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism may be associated with a large or metastatic well-differentiated tumor. Nodules are of particular concern when they are found in those under the age of 20. The presentation of benign nodules at this age is less likely, and thus the potential for malignancy is far greater.

The following are the major types of thyroid cancer -

Papillary and follicular thyroid cancers account for 80 to 90 percent of all thyroid cancers. Both types begin in the follicular cells of the thyroid. Most papillary and follicular thyroid cancers tend to grow slowly. If they are detected early, most can be treated successfully. Medullary Thyroid Cancer accounts for 5 to 10 percent of thyroid cancer cases. It arises in C cells, not follicular cells. Medullary thyroid cancer is easier to control if it is found and treated before it spreads to other parts of the body. Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer is the least common type of thyroid cancer (only 1 to 2 percent of cases). It arises in the follicular cells. The cancer cells are highly abnormal and difficult to recognize. This type of cancer is usually very hard to control because the cancer cells tend to grow and spread very quickly.

If the nodule is benign, patients may receive thyroxin therapy to suppress thyroid-stimulating hormone and should be re-evaluated in 6 months. If the nodule is malignant or has indeterminate cytologic features, it may require surgery. Common Thyroid Cancer surgeries include thyroidectomy, lobectomy, and tracheostomy. Radioactive Iodine-131 is used in patients with papillary or follicular thyroid cancer for ablation of residual thyroid tissue after surgery and for the treatment of thyroid cancer. Patients with medullary, anaplastic, and most Hurtle cell cancers do not benefit from this therapy. External irradiation may be used when the cancer is resectable, when it recurs after resection, or to relieve pain from bone metastasis.

Prostate Cancer Treatment in India is done at Jaslok under finest medical supervision with the help of certified and experienced surgeons and physicians. The team of physicians and surgeons make exceptional analysis of the patients to improve their current status to a normal status. Prostate Cancer is a form of Cancer that develops in the Prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. The Cancer cells may metastasize from the Prostate to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. Prostate Cancer may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, problems during sexual intercourse. Other symptoms can potentially develop during later stages of the disease. Prostate Cancer Treatment in India is the best verdict for the patients who are suffering from Prostate Cancer.

Rates of detection of Prostate Cancers vary widely across the world, with South and East Asia detecting seldom than in Europe, and especially the United States. Prostate Cancer tends to develop in men over the age of fifty and although it is one of the most prevalent types of Cancer in men, many never have symptoms, undergo no therapy, and eventually die of other causes. This is because Cancer of the Prostate in most cases is slow-growing, symptom free and men with the diagnosed condition often die of causes unrelated to the Prostate Cancer, such as heart/circulatory disease, pneumonia, other unconnected Cancers, or old age. Many factors, including genetics and diet, have been implicated in the development of Prostate Cancer. The presence of Prostate Cancer may be indicated by symptoms, physical examination, Prostate specific antigen (PSA), or biopsy. There is controversy about the accuracy of the PSA test and the value of screening. Suspected Prostate Cancer is typically confirmed by taking a biopsy of the Prostate and examining it under a microscope. Further tests, such as CT scans and bone, may be performed to determine whether Prostate Cancer has spread.

Most Prostate Cancers begin in the outer part of the Prostate. The Cancer must be identified before it presses on the urethra and obstructs with the urination. In the early stages, Prostate Cancer is curable. With prompt treatment the percentage of men who survive longer than 10 years is roughly equal to that of men who never had Prostate Cancer.  If Prostate Cancer is permissible to develop without treatment, it may spread to other organs, causing disability and sometimes death. Advanced Prostate Cancer is more likely to cause symptoms, which may lead a man to see an urologist for diagnosis. Unfortunately, by the time Prostate Cancer has reached this stage, it is less responsive to treatment. If the results of DRE suggest the presence of Cancer, your urologist may recommend that other test be performed which help detect Prostate Cancer or indicate the extent of the Cancer’s growth. To confirm the presence of Cancer, the urologist may perform a biopsy attaining a small sample of the suspected Cancer for examination under a microscope by a pathologist. If a diagnosis of Prostate Cancer is made, the urologist will generally recommend treatment.

How Prostate Cancer is treated depends upon the stages of Cancer, the aggressive nature of the Cancer, the age of the patient, the patient’s overall health and side effects of different treatments. Because so many different options exist, the treatment of Prostate Cancer should be carefully weighed by you and your urologist. One of the treatment options, no matte what the stage is “watchful waiting”. Possible signs of Prostate Cancer include a weak flow of urine or frequent urination. These and other symptoms may be caused by Prostate Cancer. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. A doctor should be consulted if any of the following problems occur:

Weak or interrupted flow of urine. Frequent urination (especially at night). Trouble urinating. Pain or burning during urination. Blood in the urine or semen. A pain in the back, hips, or pelvis that doesn’t go away. Painful ejaculation.

India has most excellent qualified professionals in various fields; in fact many Indians are currently working at peak positions with preeminent companies and organizations around the world. As to the Medical Facilities and Amenities in India, one can say that Indian quality of treatment and hospitality both are on par with International standards and are yet very cost effective compared to its International counterparts.

Breast Cancer Treatment in India is taken under Jaslok Health Group under experienced and certified medical team of physicians. The term “breast cancer” refers to a malignant tumour that has developed from cells in the breast. Usually breast cancer either begins in the cells of the lobules, which are the milk-producing glands, or the ducts, the passages that drain milk from the lobules to the nipple. Less commonly, breast cancer can begin in the stomal tissues, which include the fatty and fibrous connective tissues of the breast. Breast Cancer is the most common cause of cancer in women and the second most common cause of cancer death in women. While the majority of new breast cancers are diagnosed as a result of an abnormality seen on a mammogram, a lump or change in consistency of the breast tissue can also be a warning sign of the disease. Jaslok Health Group introduces recreational packages with the help of Medical Tourism to provide better benefits and recovery from the disease. Physicians providing Breast Cancer Treatment in India at Jaslok Health Group are professionally trained and certified from renowned institutions across the globe.

Breast Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells. To better understand breast cancer, it helps to understand how any cancer can develop. Cancer occurs as a result of mutations, or abnormal changes, in the genes responsible for regulating the growth of cells and keeping them healthy. The genes are in each cell’s nucleus, which acts as the “control room” of each cell. Normally, the cells in our bodies replace themselves through an orderly process of cell growth: healthy new cells take over as old ones die out. But over time, mutations can “turn on” certain genes and “turn off” others in a cell. That changed cell gains the ability to keep dividing without control or order, producing more cells just like it and forming a tumour.

Some Breast Cancer require the hormones estrogen and progesterone to grow, and have receptors for those hormones. Those cancers are treated with drugs that interfere with those hormones, usually tamoxifen, and with drugs that shut off the production of estrogen in the ovaries or elsewhere; this may damage the ovaries and end fertility. Low-risk, hormone-sensitive breast cancers may be treated with hormone therapy and radiation alone. Breast cancers without hormone receptors, or which have spread to the lymph nodes in the armpits, or which express certain genetic characteristics, are higher-risk, and are treated more aggressively.

Abnormal development of cells leads to the growth of tumour, when tumour is malignant in nature they are termed as cancer. Breast Cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in women today. Around the world breast cancer statistics shows that after lung cancer breast cancer is the second most death-causing factor in people who develops cancer. The risk factor of developing breast cancer increases with the age, it does not only relate to women, figures show that out of every 100 women there is one male who is diagnosed of breast cancer. Breast cancer does not mean a specific category of disease rather it is the different types of cancer generally found in breast is collectively termed as breast cancer. Though the most common understanding suggests that, abnormal growth of cells in the breast causes breast cancer.

The exact cause of Breast Cancer is unknown and there are no fixed causes for breast cancer. Myths in identifying the causes of breast cancer are more prevalent than the real cause. Some of the causes that have been collectively associated with breast cancer are:

The chances of breast cancer depends on age, as the person gets older the chances of it are more Family history of close relative like mother, sister and daughter who has been diagnosed with breast cancer increases the risk factor Early start onset of menses and early menopause are also associated with breast cancer Exposure to radioactive rays are carcinogenic and increases the chances of breast cancer Using hormone replacement therapy might also cause it Exposure to harmful chemicals (working in a chemical factory that uses harmful chemicals like Organo chlorine) Late childbearing

The first symptom, or subjective sign, of breast cancer is typically a lump that feels different from the rest of the breast tissue. More than 80% of Breast Cancer cases are discovered when the woman feels a lump. According to the American Cancer Society, the first medical sign, or objective indication of breast cancer as detected by a physician, is discovered by mammogram. Lumps found in lymph nodes located in the armpits can also indicate breast cancer. When breast cancer cells invade the dermal lymphatics small lymph vessels in the skin of the breast’s presentation can resemble skin inflammation and thus is known as inflammatory breast cancer . Symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer include pain, swelling, warmth and redness throughout the breast.

Another reported symptom complex of Breast Cancer is Paget’s disease of the breast. This syndrome presents as eczematoid skin changes such as redness and mild flaking of the nipple skin. Symptoms may include tingling, itching, increased sensitivity, burning, and pain. Occasionally, breast cancer presents as metastatic disease, that is, cancer that has spread beyond the original organ. Metastatic breast cancer will cause symptoms that depend on the location of metastasis. Common sites of metastasis include bone, liver, lung and brain. Unexplained weight loss can occasionally herald an occult breast cancer, as can symptoms of fevers or chills. Bone or joint pains can sometimes be manifestations of metastatic breast cancer, as can jaundice or neurological symptoms.

The most important factor behind any disease is the way you cope with it and find a safe treatment. Breast Cancer is a serious disease but with time and proper breast cancer treatment you will recovery from the initial trauma of the disease. Eating healthy and maintaining a balanced lifestyle along with family and friends cope to a great extent in coping with the disease. Ask all your queries and share your anxieties, going through clinical trials also helps to a great extent. Breast Cancer Treatment or diagnosis done at the proper time can prevent the disease before its too late. Breast Cancer is common in women as compared to the men.
