Cancer can be described as a disease that results when cellular changes cause the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. These cells divide without control and invade other tissues in the body to form lumps called a tumour. There are two types of tumours that can be developed in the body - cancerous (malignant) and non-cancerous (benign).
Blood cancer affects the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system and occurs due to abnormal growth of white blood cells.
Common symptoms include fatigue, weight loss, difficulty swallowing, bowel changes, skin changes, lumps, voice changes, fever, unusual bleeding, white patches in the mouth, and non-healing sores.
About one-third of people worldwide may develop cancer during their lifetime. Common cancers include lung, breast, colorectal, prostate, skin, and stomach cancer.
Cancer is caused by genetic changes leading to uncontrolled cell growth. Risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol, poor diet, inactivity, radiation, chemicals, and certain infections.
Diagnosis includes lab tests, imaging, biopsies, and genetic tests. Treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and clinical trials.
An oncology hospital focuses on diagnosing and treating cancer. It offers surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, follow up care, and supportive services to help patients through their treatment.
Medical oncology uses medicines like chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy to treat cancer. Surgical oncology removes tumors with surgery. Radiation oncology uses focused radiation to destroy cancer cells.
