Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men. It usually affects older men but is now commonly diagnosed in men of a lower age group as well. The common problems arising in this gland include benign (non-cancerous) enlargement, or cancer of the prostate. The risk factors include apart from older age, family history and obesity.

Prostate cancer grows gradually and initially remains restricted to the organ. However, in certain cases, the growth is quick and can spread fast to other organs. Early detection allows patients to choose from a range of treatment alternatives.

The treatment choices include surgery (radical prostatectomy) or radiation therapy. Radical Prostatectomy for prostate cancer involves removing the prostate gland, a few surrounding tissues and some lymph nodes. It allows the surgeon to make more precise movements with surgical tools as compared to the traditional minimally invasive surgery.

Paediatric Cancer

Paediatric Leukaemia is the most common form of childhood cancer and amounts to almost 30% of all cancers that affect children and young adults. Every year, 150 out of every million children in India get diagnosed with cancer. More boys are affected by this cancer than girls.

Children may suffer from fever, bone pain and reddish skin spots or bleeding from nose or mouth. We find on examination, most of them have an enlarged liver, spleen or lymph nodes. Bone pain could be marked by a young child who is limping or refusing to walk. Signs of bleeding include easy bruising or small spots of blood called petechiae under the skin. Unending fever with no clear cause could be a symptom. Persistent headache, vomiting, inability to walk could be features of a brain tumour. A painless bony swelling that has come to light after a trivial injury is the most common presenting feature of a bone tumour. A white eye reflex is an early sign of an eye cancer called retinoblastoma. Treatment in the form of chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy or in various combinations is used depending upon the cancer type for maximum benefit after discussion in a multidisciplinary team meeting.

Paediatric surgeons offer minimally invasive surgery that reduces pain post procedure, shortens the child's stay in the hospital and speeds up recovery so the child can return to her regular daily activities as early as possible. Radiotherapy is delivered with precision and is planned carefully by an expert team. It is ensured to deliver care with minimum psychological trauma to a child.

Our patient support group is actively involved in counselling families to help them through this period of emotional crisis. Follow up is part of the care to ensure that there are no future side effects of therapy in the children.

Leukaemia

Leukaemia is the cancer of bone marrow and blood. It is the most common childhood cancer and accounts for about 30 % of all cancers in children. In India each year, 150 out of every 1 million children are diagnosed with cancer. Cancers affecting children are of a unique kind. Common symptoms are bone and joint pain, fatigue, weakness, pale skin, bleeding or bruising, fever, weigh loss amongst others.

Primary bone cancers (cancers that start in the bones) occur most often in older children and teens, but they can develop at any age. They account for about 3% of childhood cancers.

Leukaemia treatment procedure includes chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy or a combination of all.

In seeking treatment for a child diagnosed with cancer, do look for the following aspects while choosing the cancer care hospital:

  • Multidisciplinary medical team that works together to decide the best treatment option for the child.
  • Minimally invasive cancer surgery that reduces pain and shortens the child's stay in the hospital so that the child can return to daily routine soon.
  • Advanced radiation therapy that ensures minimal trauma due to precise targeting of the cancer.
  • Advanced pathological analysis of tumour to ensure the right dose of chemotherapy or radiation.
  • Blood bank standards that are of international quality.
  • Trained staff who are sensitive to caring for children with cancer and provide support to the family as well.

Bone Marrow Transplant

Acute Myelogenous Leukaemia (AML) is a type of blood cancer found in the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft inner part of bones. In acute leukaemia, the bone marrow produces immature cells that keep on building up in the body. These cells are also known as blast cells. Doctors may refer to AML as acute myelocytic leukaemia, acute myelogenous leukaemia, acute granulocytic leukaemia, or acute non-lymphocytic leukaemia.

In the early stages, Acute Myeloid Leukaemia symptoms may resemble those of common flu. The symptoms may differ based on the blood cell affected. Visit the doctor if any of the following symptoms is seen:

Prolonged Fever, Lethargy and fatigue, Bone pain, Pale skin, Shortness of breath, Frequent infections, Easy bruising, Unusual nose bleeding and gum bleeding

Diagnosis of AML

Blood tests are done to check the red and white blood cells and platelet count. This test also helps in diagnosing the presence of blast cells in the body.

Bone marrow test is a biopsy done to confirm the diagnosis.

Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is done to remove fluid around the lower part of the spinal cord to check for cancerous cells.

If the tests are positive, the doctor may refer the patient to an oncologist, who specializes in cancer treatments or a haematologist, who is a specialist in blood or blood-forming tissues.

Acute Myeloid Leukaemia treatment depends on the subtype of the disease, overall health, age and medical preferences. Generally, the treatment is done in two stages:

Remission induction therapy is the first phase of treatment, which aims to remove leukaemia cells in the blood and bone marrow. However, this therapy does not successfully remove all the cancerous cells. Further treatment is required to prevent it from returning.

Consolidation therapy is conducted after the remission therapy, which aims to eradicate the remaining leukaemia cells from the body. This therapy helps in reducing the risk of relapse. Therapies used in both the phases include chemotherapy, stem cell transplantation, anti-cancer drugs and participation in suitable clinical trials.

Lung Cancer

Cancer in the lungs is common and people who smoke are at the highest risk of contracting lung cancer. The risk of lung cancer increases with the duration of smoking period and the number of cigarettes smoked. The silver lining though is that if one quits this habit even after several years, one can significantly reduce the chances of developing lung cancer.

Symptoms of lung cancer include a new cough that doesn't go away and changes into a chronic cough or coughing blood even in small amount, shortness of breath, chest pain, and wheezing hoarseness, unexpected weight loss, bone pain, headache.

Risk factors include smoking, passive smoking, exposure to radon gas, asbestos and a family history of lung cancer. People with an increased risk of lung cancer should take annual CT scans to look for the disease. Also, smokers of 55 years of age or older and even those who used to smoke earlier should check with their doctor about screening for lung cancer.

To diagnose lung cancer, you can opt for any of the following:

1. Imaging tests: An X-ray image of your lungs may reveal an abnormal mass or nodule. A CT scan can reveal small lesions in your lungs that might not be detected in an X-ray.

2. Sputum cytology: Observing the sputum under the microscope can sometimes reveal the presence of lung cancer cells.

3. Tissue sample (biopsy): Lung cancer may be treated by surgery which would be either a Wedge resection, to remove a small section of the lung that contains the tumour along with a margin of healthy tissue, or Segmental resection to remove a larger portion of the lung but not the entire lobe or Lobectomy, to remove the entire lobe of one lung or a Pneumonectomy to remove an entire lung.

4. Chemotherapy is often used to kill cancer cells that may remain after surgery.

5. Radiation therapy can be directed from outside the body (external beam radiation) or it can be put inside needles, seeds or catheters and placed inside the body near the cancer (Brachytherapy)

Liver Cancer

The liver can be affected either by primary liver cancer which arises in the liver, or secondary or metastatic cancer, which originates elsewhere in the body. Primary liver cancer tends to occur when the liver is damaged in the form of cirrhosis (a scarring condition of the liver), certain birth defects, alcohol abuse, chronic infection with diseases such as hepatitis B and C, hemochromatosis, obesity and fatty liver disease amongst others.

A hard lump on the right side just below the rib cage, Swollen abdomen and discomfort in the upper abdomen (right side) Pain near the right shoulder blade or in the back, Jaundice, Easy bruising or bleeding, Unusual tiredness, Nausea and vomiting, Loss of appetite, Weight loss for no reason

Having any of these symptoms does not mean it is cancer, but if one or more of them is noticed for more than 2 weeks, then a doctor must be seen, and an immediate health screening is a must.

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of liver cancer includes physical examination and history, serum tumour marker test, liver function test, CT scan and MRI. Biopsy is done along with laparoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment of stages 0, A and B includes partial hepatectomy, total hepatectomy and liver transplant. The tumour can be ablated using radio frequency ablation, microwave therapy, percutaneous ethanol injection and cryoablation. Treatment of stages C and D includes embolization therapy and is performed by using either transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA), Transarterial Radioembolization or external beam radiotherapy with high dose focused conformal technology (e.g. cyberknife) methods.

Liver Cancer is completely curable if detected early. Liver cirrhosis and viral hepatitis can be detected early by regular health screenings. An integrated approach of a multidisciplinary team is the best way to conquer liver cancer.
