FAQ's

  1. A change in bowel or bladder habits
  2.  A sore that doesn’t heal
  3.  Unusual bleeding or discharge from any opening in the body

Cancer often spreads through the vessels and channels of the body. In the case of certain cancers like soft tissue sarcomas, they spread through the blood vessels. The lymph nodes are also a medium of spreading for certain cancer types such as breast cancer. Cancer can also spread to areas contingent to the organ or tissue of origin.

There are more than 100 types of cancer. The most common types of cancer are cancers of the brain, vocal cord cancer or lung cancer due to smoking, and liver or stomach cancer. Women also commonly suffer from breast or cervix cancer. To know more visit our best cancer hospital in Bangalore.

Old people are more susceptible to cancer for the simple reason that a lifetime of accumulated unhealthy lifestyle choices (tobacco, cigarettes, excessive alcohol) finally starts presenting in the form of cancer. There are certain people for whom there may be genetic susceptibility and cancer does not always wait until old age to develop.

Cancers, if detected in the early stage are usually curable. However certain types like leukemia and other cancers have a lower curability rate. Also, certain brain tumours have a high growth rate which means the diagnosis usually comes too late for the patient to launch an effective treatment for the disease.

There are 7 danger signals of cancer:

  1. A soreness in the mouth or ulcers that do not heal.

  2. Abnormal painless swelling in the lymph areas, such as the neck or armpit.

  3. Sudden change in the appearance of any moles and bleeding from that area.

  4. A chronic hoarseness of the voice, particularly in smokers.

  5. A persistent cough that does not go away even after treatment.

  6. Abnormal bleeding such as post-menopausal bleeding in women as well as bleeding from the rectum while passing stool.

  7. Fatigue and loss of weight. Consult with experts at an oncology hospital in Bangalore if you experiencing such symptoms.

Metastasis is basically the medical term for the spread of cancer. Once again, cancer spreads through blood vessels, lymph channels, or other body fluids. It also spreads to adjacent tissues.

A modern sedentary lifestyle coupled with smoking and weight gain as well as bad food habits such as consuming aerated drinks and saturated fats can all trigger the development of cancer. A purely non-vegetarian diet without much vegetables can also be a trigger for cancer.

The most important thing that needs to be stressed about diet is the need for balance. Other than that, it is generally advised to avoid processed and stored foods and to eat more vegetables. To avoid all risk factors, visit a cancer care hospital in Bangalore.

The first step for a doctor is to conduct a basic physical check for swellings or lumps. This includes a breast examination for women and a tutorial on how to self-examine breasts. Also a basic mammogram and pap smear can be done. An oral cavity examination is often done for men.

CT Scan is not always prescribed because it exposes the individual to radiation. It is usually recommended after something suspicious turns up during a physical examination. Manipal Hospitals is the top cancer hospital in Bangalore, visit today for treatment.

As Dr. Vardhiraja stresses, lifestyle choices and awareness of cancer, as well as an early stage diagnosis are very important towards preventing or beating this disease.
