Common Types Of Cancer You Don't Know!
India is slowing making its way towards the top listed countries with the maximum number of cancer ;patients. It actually ranks third in the world after china and the usa. The statistics are alarming. While genes play a part in determining who will contract cancer and who won t, you can still reduce your chances of getting it, if you spot the signs early on and seek treatment right away. Read on to learn about the most common types of cancer in the country and some of their symptoms.

The incident rate of this disease is 25.8 among 10, 000 women in india. And the mortality rate is around 12.7 in 10, 000.

The symptoms of breast cancer are-

If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a doctor who will recommend mammography. A woman who has reached her 40s should opt for regular mammography. And every woman should perform self-examination as soon as she turns 20.

Oral cancer

Of all the reported oral cancer incidents around the world, 86% of the cases are from india. The chief reason why so many cases of oral cancer arise in india is due to the inclination of indians for tobacco consumption. Alcohol too contributes to it.

Ulcers in the mouth


Teeth falling out prematurely


Voice becoming harsh


Pain while ;swallowing saliva and food

I want to ask for lungs cancers treatment which surgery was best laparoscopic or robotic surgery. Asap.

General Physician, Bangalore
1. By laparoscopy if you mean minimally invasive thoracic surgery. It is better. 2. Selecting procedure for surgery is all about customizing it for the type and extent of lung cancer and according to patient compliance. 3. Without knowing disease burden, its hard to select what's best for your patient.

Hello doctor my mother is suffering from metastatic lung non small cancer. She is completely normal apart from severe pain in hip pain. Please suggest what we can look for tumor in hip and pain. We don't want to go radiotherapy and etc.

MBBS
General Physician,
As your mother is having metastatic lung cancer she would have had primary site if her cancer somewhere else in her body which after treatment or with no treatment now has reached her lungs. The ideal treatment for your mother is to go for radio or chemo therapy but as a family member if you have decided not to go for that there are palliative treatment options available for her which will not treat the cancer but can give her some relief from her severe bone pain. Thanks and kindly feedback and you can consult anytime.
