Understanding Cancer: Essential Insights for Early Detection and Treatment
Understanding Cancer
Cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the body grow uncontrollably, potentially spreading to other parts of the body. It can affect various organs, including the lungs, liver, colon, and more. Common symptoms include unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, changes in skin color, and abnormal growths or lumps.
At Sahlesh Hospital, our cancer care program focuses on early detection, accurate diagnosis, and a multi-disciplinary treatment approach. We work closely with patients and their families to develop comprehensive treatment plans that provide the best possible outcomes.
Understanding Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. It begins in the cells of the breast, typically in the ducts or lobules, and can spread to other areas if not detected early. Common symptoms include lumps in the breast or underarm, changes in breast shape or size, nipple discharge, or skin changes around the breast.
Importance of Early Detection:
Mammograms:
Regular mammograms are the most effective way to detect breast cancer early, often before any symptoms arise.Self-Examination:
Women should regularly perform breast self-exams to check for unusual changes or lumps.Genetic Screening:
Women with a family history of breast cancer may benefit from genetic screening to assess their risk and explore preventive options.
At Sahlesh Hospital, we focus on early detection and providing individualized care to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. Breast cancer treatment is most effective when started early, and our team of specialists is committed to supporting every patient through their treatment journey.
