Bladder cancer often presents with blood in urine, frequent urination, or pelvic pain. Risk factors include smoking, age, and chemical exposure. Early diagnosis through can improve outcomes by timely surgeries with low morbidity(laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy with right nephroureterectomy). If symptoms appear, consult your doctor promptly. #BladderCancerAwareness #KnowTheSymptoms #EarlyDetection #StayHealthy #urooncology #minimalaccesssurgery #laparoscopicsurgery

#Chemotherapy is sometimes used to treat #VaginalCancer. Unlike Surgery and #RadiationTherapy, which only target specific areas, chemotherapy is a systemic treatment, meaning that it can destroy cancerous cells throughout the entire body. As a result, it is often used to address any cancerous cells that have started to spread. There are a number of different options for vaginal cancer chemotherapy. Most medications are infused into the bloodstream, but others are available as pills or topical lotions. While some patients are prescribed a single medication, most receive a combination of two or more chemo drugs. ~ What are the common side effects of chemotherapy? Side effects are common with chemotherapy, but it is important to know that they can often be controlled or even prevented. Most side effects go away over time after treatment ends. Side effects depend on the type and dose of #chemo you get and vary from person to person. Some common side effects include: · #Nausea and #vomiting · Mouth sores · #Constipation or #diarrhea · #HairLoss · Infections from low white blood cell levels · Easy bruising or bleeding from low numbers of platelets in the blood · Tiredness from low red blood cell counts · Loss of appetite · Dizziness · Skin problems, such as dryness, rash, blistering, or darkening skin · Tingling, numbness, or swelling in hands or feet (called #neuropathy) · Hearing problems · Kidney problems · Changes in #menstruation or ability to have children (fertility). Most people with vaginal cancer have already gone through #menopause. Most side effects will go away or get better between treatments and after treatment ends. But some can last longer or be permanent. There may be things you can do to help control some of these side effects. Tell your #Oncologist about any side effects you have. They can help you cope with them. For consultation with #GynaecologicOncologist, please call at ph +91 9820458696 or visit the website by clicking on the link https://buff.ly/3rXKU51

Chemotherapy switch for localized #PancreaticCancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gQE4e6d5 This #systematicreview and #metaanalysis of five studies identified that one in five patients with localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma underwent chemotherapy switch after an inadequate response or toxicity to first-line chemotherapy The pooled resection rate after chemotherapy switch was 42% Postoperative survival of patients who underwent chemotherapy switch was similar to that of patients treated without a switch in systemic therapy The findings suggest that chemotherapy switch may improve biochemical and radiological response, increase the chance of surgical resection, and improve survival Work by Esther N Dekker, Raja R Narayan, Mohamed A Ahmami, Anis Meddouch, Eva M M Verkolf, Anne M Gehrels, Marc G H Besselink, Casper H J van Eijck, Marjolein Y V Homs, Bianca Mostert, Grainne M O’Kane, Roeland F de Wilde, Johanna W Wilmink, Eileen M O’Reilly, Motaz Qadan, Bas Groot Koerkamp #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @RCPSGTrainees @aecirujanos @SEIQuirurgica @iss_sic #MedicalTechniques @BJSAcademy @young_bjs @BJSOpen @des_winter @evanscolorectal @robhinchliffe1 @bplwijn @MalinASund @nfmkok @TejedorPat @paulo_sutt @PVaughanShaw @JJEarnshaw @juliomayol @ksoreide #some4hpb #some4tpl @DPCG_official @pancreatitis_nl @PancreasClub #PancreasClub2023 #PancreaticCancer #Pancreatitis #HCC @PanCAN #PanCANawareness @EurPancClub @P_C_E_ @dice_europe #PancreaticCancer #cholangiocarcinoma

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer. It originates in the lining of the kidney's tubules and can grow into a large mass. Symptoms may include blood in the urine, flank pain, and an abdominal mass. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, which may involve surgery, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.

Lymphedema is swelling that develops when lymph fluid builds up in the body’s soft tissues and does not go away. It may develop in the arm or breast/chest region after treatment for breast cancer when the lymph nodes (lymph ‘glands’) in the armpit are removed with surgery or treated with radiotherapy. Treatment of these lymph nodes can interfere with the way fluid moves through the lymphatic system and can cause a build-up of fluid in the arm and chest. This build-up of fluid is called lymphedema.  # As a dietitian, a very common question my patients ask me is that lymph fluid is a protein-rich fluid so should we restrict protein in the diet? # So Here is the answer - * Patients with lymphedema should take a high-protein diet because proteins are considered to be the building blocks of the body and play a crucial role in the manufacturing of hormones and antibodies to fight infection. * A shortage of protein will cause the body to take the necessary protein from the muscle and tissue which will further weaken the body and cause connective tissue to swell and your lymphedema to worsen. #lymphaticmassage #awareness #nutrition#lymphedemawarrior #healthylifestyle #worldlymphedemaday #cancer #healthyfood

A #pancreaticoduodenectomy, also known as the "Whipple" is a complex surgical procedure most commonly known for resecting pancreatic tumors. If cancer is localized this procedure can extend life expectancy despite the overall poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer. It also can be performed for other conditions including pancreatitis, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and other times of digestive cancers. During this procedure portions of the pancreas and small intestine (duodenum) will be removed along with parts of the gallbladder, bile duct, and stomach. Risks associated with this procedure include infection, anastomosis leak, diabetes, bowel changes, and difficulty digesting food. According to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network #Whipple success rates and 5-year-survival rates improve if you chose a high-volume surgeon who performs 15 or more Whipples annually. #cancer #pancreaticcancer #criticalcare #legalnurseconsulting #ICU #acutecare #surgery #surgical #operation #RN #registerednurse #recovery #survivor #LNC

🦋 Thyroid Cytology: The Key to Accurate and Fast Diagnosis! 🔬 The thyroid gland may be small, but its impact on health is immense. Thyroid diseases can often remain asymptomatic for a long time, and cytology plays a crucial role in detecting potential problems at early stages. 🔬 Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB) is the “gold standard” for diagnosing thyroid nodules. Cytological examination helps determine whether the nodule is benign or requires urgent intervention. 📊 Statistics show: • About 5-10% of nodules can be malignant, but they can be detected early. • Accurate cytological diagnosis of the thyroid reduces the need for surgery by 30-50%. 💡 Key cytological features aiding diagnosis: • Microfollicular structures. • Colloid inclusions. • Papillary forms. ⚕️ How does this help doctors? Quick and accurate cytological diagnosis allows timely treatment and avoids unnecessary surgeries. Advances in understanding cellular changes open new opportunities for early detection of thyroid cancer. 👉 Want to learn more about advanced thyroid diagnostic methods?

Further to my previous post about warning signs that may appear in some of patients the next step is to approach a doctor who will evaluate and direct some tests. #prostatecancer 1. DRE - digital rectal examination is first he does with his fingers to ascertain the softness/ hardness of our prostate through the Anu’s. Incase of any positive he further suggests- 2. PSA - this is done through blood examination by a pathologist . Our prostate makes a protein , which is known as prostate specific antigen.a rise in this usually over 4 may indicate chances of malignancy. PSA may also rise in BPH or prostatitis another two diseases of prostate. 3. Biopsy- is supposedly most sure to confirm the result. A small portion (cores) of prostate are taken out and sent for analysis under microscope and a pathologist give s his evaluation of the tissue. Now based on results of our prostate ,treatment is to be undertaken. 1. Active surveillance-this is done by active follow-up with your practitioner and regular tests are done at regular intervals like Dre , psa and biopsy to observe the growth of cancer . 2. Surgery ( prostatectomy) is one of the surest way to get your malignant cancer out by removing the prostate itself . 3. Radiation- different types of external or internal radiation with low and high focussed precise beam is given to the affected area to kill the cancer cells. 4. Medications- in some cases medication is suggested or people in conditions where surgery or radiation is not possible. Also in prostatitis medication is given to kill the bacterial affect and infection. 5. Exercises and stress management also help reduce pain and spasm and help in anxiety related symptoms. #menshealth #prostatehealth
