Cervical Cancer: Awareness, Prevention, and Advanced Care at Healius Cancer & Hematology Clinics Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer when detected early. Despite medical advancements, it remains a major health concern for women worldwide. At Healius Cancer & Hematology Clinics, we are committed to raising awareness, providing preventive solutions, and delivering state-of-the-art treatment for cervical cancer. Understanding Cervical Cancer Cervical cancer originates in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. The primary cause of cervical cancer is persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus transmitted through intimate contact. While HPV infections are usually cleared by the immune system, some high-risk strains can lead to cervical cancer over time. Symptoms to Watch For Early-stage cervical cancer often presents no symptoms, making regular screenings essential. However, as the disease progresses, women may experience: Abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods, after intercourse, or post-menopause) Unusual vaginal discharge with a foul odor Pelvic pain or discomfort Pain during intercourse Prevention: The Power of Vaccination and Screening At Healius Cancer & Hematology Clinics, we emphasize early detection and prevention through: HPV Vaccination: The HPV vaccine effectively protects against the high-risk strains that cause cervical cancer. It is recommended for girls and young women before the onset of sexual activity but can also benefit older individuals. Regular Pap Smears & HPV Testing: A Pap smear detects precancerous changes in cervical cells, allowing for early intervention. HPV testing helps identify high-risk infections that may lead to cancer. Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment at Healius Cancer & Hematology Clinics If detected early, cervical cancer is highly treatable. At Healius Cancer & Hematology Clinics, we provide personalized treatment plans based on the stage of cancer and individual patient needs. Our multidisciplinary team offers: Minimally Invasive Surgery: For early-stage cases, procedures like LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) and cone biopsy can remove precancerous or cancerous cells.

Breast Cancer : Understanding Risks, Types, Treatments & Lifesaving Prevention Strategies Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Indian women, with the cases steadily increasing. Breast cancer accounts for 27% of all female cancers in India, with cases projected to rise 170% by 2050. Mortality rates may increase 200%, and the five-year survival rate is 66.4%. In 2024, India recorded approximately 2,60,000 new breast cancer cases.  In Karnataka, the total number of new cancer cases was 87,855, with breast cancer being the most prevalent among women. With this alarming increase in number of cases, let us understand the possible risks, nature and types of breast cancer and the possible treatments available and preventive measures. Risk Factors Family history of cancers who could be possible carriers of various pathogenic mutations. A recent indigene study shows about 40% cases of breast cancers could be hereditary in nature. Hormonal and reproductive factor: Early menstruation (before 12), late menopause (after 55), Late or no pregnancies, Hormone replacement therapy. Lifestyle and environmental factors including obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, radiation exposure, sedentary lifestyle, lack of proper diet, exposure to heavy metals, pesticides etc. Aging (higher risk after 50) Dense breast tissue (more glandular tissue than fatty tissue)  Other breast conditions such as ADH, ALH, fibroadenomas with complex features, papillomas (small wart-like growths in milk ducts), Radial scars (star-shaped breast tissue formation) etc.  LCIS, which is abnormal cell growth in the milk producing glands (lobules). Women with LCIS have a 7-12 times higher risk of invasive breast cancer. Types of Breast Cancer There are many types of breast cancer, and many different ways to describe them. It’s easy to get confused. A breast cancer’s type is determined by the specific cells in the breast that become cancer. Non-Invasive (In-situ) Breast Cancer – DCIS: Cancer cells in milk ducts but haven’t spread.   Invasive Breast Cancer:  Invasive Ductal Carcinoma – IDC – Most common type; spreads beyond milk ducts Invasive Lobular Carcinoma – ILC – starts in lobules, may spread.  Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) – Lacks estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors; aggressive and harder to treat. HER2-Positive Breast Cancer – Has high levels of HER2 protein, often aggressive but treatable. Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) – Rare and aggressive, causes red, swollen breast. Paget’s Disease of the Breast – Affects the nipple and surrounding area. Treatment Options: Treatment depends on the type, stage, and patient’s overall health. 1. Surgery – Lumpectomy (removes tumor, keeps most of the breast) – Mastectomy (removes one or both breasts) 2. Radiation Therapy – Uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells, often after surgery. 3. Chemotherapy – Uses drugs to destroy cancer cells, often before or after surgery. 4. Hormone Therapy – Blocks hormones like estrogen/progesterone that fuel cancer growth. 5. Targeted Therapy – Attacks specific cancer cell markers like HER2 (e.g., Herceptin). 6. Immunotherapy – Boosts immune system to fight cancer, mainly for TNBC. Prevention Strategies – Healthy Lifestyle: Exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, avoid smoking and limit alcohol. – Breastfeeding: May lower risk. – Regular Screening: Mammograms help detect early signs. – Genetic Testing & Risk-Reducing Measures: Consider if high risk (e.g., BRCA mutations). – Limit Hormone Therapy: Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time if needed.

Childhood Leukemia : Unveiling hidden symptoms, causes and breakthrough treatments Childhood leukaemia, the most common cancer in children, accounts for about 30% of all paediatric cancers. Every year, almost 25,000 children in India are diagnosed with cancer, with nearly 9000 of them having leukaemia. It affects the blood and bone marrow, leading to abnormal white blood cell production. While much information is available, some lesser-known facts about its symptoms, causes, and treatment options remain unfamiliar to many. Uncommon Symptoms of Childhood leukaemia Most people recognize common symptoms like persistent fatigue, fever, and easy bruising, but there are some lesser-known signs that might be overlooked: 1. Changes in Eye Appearance – Some children develop white or bluish spots in the eyes due to leukaemia-related eye involvement.– Swelling around the eyes and sudden vision problems may also occur. 2. Prolonged Bone Pain Misdiagnosed as Growing Pains – leukaemia cells can infiltrate bones, causing deep bone pain that parents often mistake for normal growth-related discomfort.– If a child limps frequently or avoids walking, it could be a red flag. 3. Gum Swelling and Bleeding – leukaemia can cause gingival hyperplasia (gum overgrowth) and frequent bleeding of the gums.– This is often mistaken for poor dental hygiene or vitamin deficiencies. 4. Frequent Infections Without a Fever – While recurrent fevers are a well-known sign, some children may experience constant low immunity without developing noticeable fevers.– Persistent sinus infections or fungal infections unresponsive to antibiotics may indicate an issue with white blood cell function. 5. Abdominal Swelling Due to Organ Enlargement – leukaemia can lead to swelling of the liver and spleen, causing the belly to appear bloated.– It might be mistaken for dietary bloating or digestive issues. Hidden Causes and Risk Factors of Childhood Leukemia 1. Prenatal and Early-Life Exposures – Exposure to high levels of pesticides, benzene, or household chemicals during pregnancy has been linked to a higher risk.– Some studies suggest maternal stress and infections during pregnancy could influence fetal immune development, increasing susceptibility. 2. Links to Gut Microbiome – Researchers have found that imbalanced gut bacteria in early childhood may contribute to leukemia risk.– Children raised in extremely sterile environments with low exposure to microbes may have underdeveloped immune systems, leading to abnormal immune responses. 3. The Role of Hidden Genetic Mutations – While some genetic mutations are inherited, many leukemia-related mutations occur spontaneously in the womb and remain undetected until symptoms appear.– Some children may carry mutations in the PAX5 gene or ETV6 gene, increasing their risk of leukemia without a family history. 4. High-Risk Environmental Factors – Living near high-voltage power lines or prolonged exposure to electromagnetic radiation is being explored as a possible contributing factor.– Certain artificial food dyes and preservatives are also being studied for their potential effects on cellular DNA.   Little-Known Facts About Treatment and Recovery 1. Some Forms of Childhood Leukemia Can Resolve Without Immediate Treatment – A rare condition called Transient Abnormal Myelopoiesis (TAM) in newborns with Down syndrome mimics leukemia but often disappears without treatment.– This has led researchers to explore natural immune mechanisms that might help combat leukemia in its early stages. 2. Immunotherapy May Replace Chemotherapy in the Future – CAR-T cell therapy, a revolutionary treatment, uses the child’s own immune cells to fight leukemia and is showing promising results with fewer long-term side effects than chemotherapy.– Some new trials are testing cancer vaccines that train the immune system to recognize leukemia cells early. 3. Chemo Brain Affects Children Differently – Many childhood leukemia survivors experience ‘chemo brain,’ leading to cognitive difficulties, but brain plasticity in children allows better recovery than in adults.– Cognitive therapy and omega-3 fatty acids are being studied for their role in improving brain function post-treatment. 4. Leukemia Cells Can “Hide” from Treatment – Some leukemia cells evade chemotherapy by entering a sleep-like state within bone marrow niches.– New treatments aim to ‘wake up’ these dormant cells before targeting them with drugs. 5. Survivors Have a Higher Risk of Second Cancers – Childhood leukemia survivors have a 4-6 times higher risk of developing a secondary cancer later in life due to previous chemotherapy and radiation exposure.– Long-term follow-ups and nutrient-rich diets are recommended to help mitigate this risk. Final Thoughts While childhood leukemia is a life-altering diagnosis, research continues to uncover hidden factors that influence its development, progression, and treatment. Parents and caregivers should remain vigilant about uncommon symptoms and seek early medical evaluation for persistent health issues. With the rapid advancement of targeted therapies and personalized medicine, the future holds hope for better survival rates and fewer long-term complications for young patients. Book an Appointment

Radiation Therapy in Cancer Treatment: Types, Process, and Latest Advances 1.Understanding Radiation Therapy: How It Works in Cancer Treatment   What Is Radiation Therapy?   Radiation therapy uses high-energy particles or waves (like X-rays, protons, or gamma rays) to destroy or damage cancer cells. It’s a common treatment for many cancers, often used alone or alongside surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy.   How Does It Work?    Targeting Cancer Cells: Radiation damages the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from growing or dividing. Healthy cells nearby may also be affected but typically recover.    Precision: Modern techniques focus radiation on tumours while sparing healthy tissue.    Timing: Treatment is usually spread over days or weeks to allow healthy cells to repair between sessions.   Types of Radiation Therapy:    External Beam Radiation: A machine outside the body aims radiation at the tumour. Examples:      IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy): Adjusts beam intensity for complex tumour shapes.      Proton Therapy: Uses protons (charged particles) to deliver radiation precisely, reducing damage to surrounding tissues.    Internal Radiation (Brachytherapy): Radioactive material is placed inside the body near the tumour. Common for cervical, prostate, or breast cancer.   Side Effects:    Temporary and vary by treatment area (e.g., fatigue, skin irritation, or nausea).    Managed with medications, lifestyle adjustments, and support from your care team.   2. Different Types of Radiation Therapy: Which One Is Right for You?   Your oncologist will recommend a type based on:    Cancer type and location.    Tumour size and shape.    Your overall health and treatment goals.   Common Options:    3DCRT (3D Conformal Radiation Therapy): Uses 3D imaging to shape radiation beams to the tumour.   IMRT (Intensity-modulated radiation therapy)   Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS): High-dose, precise radiation for small brain tumours.    Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT): Targets tumours in the body (e.g., lung, liver) with extreme accuracy.    Brachytherapy:      High Dose Rate (HDR): Short, intense radiation sessions via implants.      Low Dose Rate (LDR): Continuous low-dose radiation over days.   Why Personalization Matters:   For example, proton therapy is often used for childhood cancers to protect developing tissues, while brachytherapy may be ideal for early stage breast cancer. Always ask your doctor, “Why is this option best for me?”   3. Radiation Oncology: The Role of Specialists in Cancer Care   Radiation oncology is a team effort. Key players include:    Radiation Oncologist: Your main doctor, who designs and oversees your treatment plan.    Medical Physicist: Ensures radiation equipment is safe and calibrated.    Dosimetrist: Calculates the exact radiation dose and delivery method.    Radiation Therapist: Operates the machines and positions you during treatment.    Nurses and Social Workers: Provide emotional support and manage side effects.   Collaboration: The team reviews scans, adjusts plans, and monitors your progress weekly. You’re never alone—ask questions and lean on them for guidance.   4.What to Expect During Radiation Therapy: A Patient’s Guide   Step-by-step Process:   Consultation: Your oncologist explains the plan, risks, and benefits.   Simulation: A CT or MRI scan creates a 3D map of your tumour. You may get tattoos or moulds to ensure precise positioning.   Treatment Planning: The team uses software to optimize radiation angles and doses.   Daily Sessions:       Each session lasts 15–30 minutes (treatment itself takes minutes).       You’ll lie still on a table while the machine moves around you—no pain involved.   Follow-up: Scans and exams track tumour shrinkage and side effects.   Tips for Patients:    Wear loose, comfortable clothing.    Avoid applying lotions to the treatment area.    Keep a journal to note side effects or questions.   5.Radiation Therapy vs. Chemotherapy: Understanding the Differences     6.Advances in Radiation Oncology: How Technology is Improving Cancer Treatment   Cutting-edge Innovations:    MRIGuided Radiation: Combines real-time MRI imaging with radiation to target moving tumours (e.g., in the liver or lungs).    Proton Therapy: Reduces radiation exposure to healthy organs, ideal for paediatric and brain cancers.    Artificial Intelligence (AI): Speeds up treatment planning and predicts tumour response.    Flash Therapy: Delivers ultrahigh doses in milliseconds, minimizing side effects.   Benefits of New Tech:    Shorter treatment courses (e.g., 1–5 sessions vs. 30).    Fewer side effects and better quality of life.    Higher cure rates for hard-to-treat cancers.    Final Thoughts   Radiation therapy is a powerful tool in cancer care, continually improving with technology and research. If you or a loved one are considering this treatment, ask questions, seek support, and remember: that modern oncology teams are equipped to tailor care to your unique needs.   Book an Appointment

Hereditary Cancers: Is Cancer in your DNA? Find out and take Charge! Imagine if you could predict your risk of developing cancer and take steps to prevent it – sounds like something out of science fiction, right? But thanks to modern genetic science, this is possible! Cancer is often seen as a disease that occurs randomly, but in some cases, it runs in families due to inherited genetic mutations. These are known as hereditary cancers, which means the risk of developing certain type of cancer is passed down from parents to children. What are Hereditary Cancers? Think of your DNA as your body’s instruction manual. Sometimes, small errors (mutations) in certain genes could increase the risk of occurrence of cancer. These mutations can be inherited causing certain types of cancers forming a pattern, putting multiple family members at risk. Approximately 5% to 10% of cancers are attributable to a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome. The most common hereditary cancers include: Breast, Ovarian and Prostate, Pancreatic cancers and Melanoma Colon Cancer and related cancers including endometrium, gastric, small bowel, glioblastoma, ureter, or renal pelvis. Breast, Uterus and Thyroid cancers Certain types of Leukemia Colon cancers with polyps, non-cancerous polyps in colon, gastric and duodenum. Kidney Cancers and multi-system disorder characterized by abnormal growth of blood vessels (called hemangioblastomas or angiomas). Hemangioblastomas may develop in the retina, certain areas of the brain, the spinal cord. But here’s the catch – just because cancer runs in your family doesn’t mean you will definitely get it! It just means you need to be extra vigilant. Who is at Risk for Hereditary Cancers? Multiple family members (on the same side – could be either paternal or maternal) have had the same type of cancer or related cancers. Did any relative get cancer at a young age (before 50)? Did someone in your family have two or more types of cancer? Has a male relative had breast cancer? A known genetic mutation (eg:BRCA) If you answered YES to any of these, you might have a hereditary cancer risk! But don’t panic—there’s a lot you can do to protect yourself.   Genetic Testing: Your Secret Weapon Against Cancer! Imagine if you could predict the weather months in advance and prepare for a storm. That’s what genetic testing does for cancer—it tells you your risk before cancer strikes! I Have a High Risk… What Now? A high genetic risk doesn’t mean cancer is guaranteed. It just means you can get ahead of it with these strategies: Early & Frequent Screening – Catch It Before It Starts! Eat Smart: Load up on fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Move More: 30 minutes of exercise a day can cut cancer risk significantly! Ditch Smoking & Limit Alcohol: These are major cancer risk factors. Maintain a Healthy Weight: Obesity increases cancer risk—stay in shape! Talking About Cancer: Breaking the Silence in Indian Families In many Indian households, cancer is a taboo topic. Families avoid discussing genetic risks because of marriage prospects, fear, or stigma. But staying silent can be dangerous. In many Indian households, cancer is a taboo topic. Families avoid discussing genetic risks because of marriage prospects, fear, or stigma. But staying silent can be dangerous. By sharing your family’s cancer history, you can protect your loved ones! Know your family history. Consider genetic testing if you’re at risk. Take action with screening, lifestyle changes, or medical options. Start a conversation—help others in your family! Cancer doesn’t have to be a surprise. With the right information, you can stay ahead and live a long, healthy life!   Book an Appointment

How Immunotherapy Works for Throat Cancer? Throat cancer, a type of head and neck cancer, affects the throat, voice box, or tonsils. Traditional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation have long been the standard. However, medical advancements have led to the emergence of immunotherapy, a revolutionary treatment that enhances the body’s immune system to fight cancer effectively. Understanding Immunotherapy for Throat Cancer Immunotherapy is a form of cancer treatment that helps the body’s immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. Unlike chemotherapy, which directly kills cancer cells, immunotherapy works by boosting the body’s natural defenses. It is particularly effective for patients with advanced or recurrent throat cancer who may not respond well to conventional treatments. Types of Immunotherapy Used for Throat Cancer Checkpoint Inhibitors: These drugs block proteins like PD-1/PD-L1 that prevent the immune system from attacking cancer cells. Monoclonal Antibodies: These lab-made proteins attach to cancer cells and help the immune system destroy them. Cancer Vaccines: These stimulate the immune system to target cancer cells more effectively. Adoptive Cell Therapy: This involves modifying a patient’s immune cells to attack cancer cells more efficiently.
