Breast cancer
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that originates in the breast cells. It's one of the most common cancers among women, characterized by symptoms like lumps, changes in breast shape, and skin dimpling. Early detection through screenings and self-exams is crucial. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapy, tailored to the cancer's stage and type.
Lung cancer
Lung cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the lungs, often caused by smoking, but also linked to exposure to radon, asbestos, and other pollutants. Symptoms include persistent cough, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Early detection is vital for effective treatment, which may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapies, depending on the cancer's stage and type.
Colman & rectum Cancer
Colorectal cancer starts in the colon or rectum, often from polyps. Risk factors include age, diet, and family history. Symptoms include changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, and abdominal pain. Early detection via screenings like colonoscopies is vital. Treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapy, tailored to the cancer's stage and location.
Overan cancer screening
Ovarian cancer screening aims to detect the disease early, especially in high-risk women. Methods include transvaginal ultrasound and blood tests for CA-125 levels. Regular pelvic exams are also recommended. Early detection improves treatment outcomes, though no standard screening is universally recommended for all women. High-risk individuals should discuss personalized screening plans with their healthcare provider.
Cervix cancer screening
Cervical cancer screening helps detect precancerous changes and early cancer. The primary methods are the Pap smear (Pap test) and the HPV test. Regular screenings are recommended for women starting at age 21. Early detection through these tests significantly increases treatment success rates and can prevent cervical cancer from developing.
Prostate cancer screening
Prostate cancer screening aims to detect the disease early and involves two main tests: the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and the digital rectal exam (DRE). Men, particularly those over 50 or at higher risk, should discuss the benefits and risks of screening with their doctor to make an informed decision. Early detection can improve treatment outcomes.
