Skin cancer is a low-grade malignant growth of the skin that can be caused by factors like family history, radiation, moles, weak immune system, fair skin, age, HPV infection, and chemicals. Over 2.8 million cases of basal cell carcinoma are diagnosed each year, with about 90% of nonmelanoma skin cancers caused by UV radiation. One person dies of melanoma every hour, and risk doubles after five or more sunburns. Treatment options include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy, and photodynamic therapy.

Skin cancers
Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer. The three main types are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and malignant melanoma. BCC is the most common type and usually appears as a waxy nodule, while SCC can metastasize if not treated early. Malignant melanoma is the most lethal type and risk factors include ultraviolet light exposure and family history. Early detection of skin lesions is important, and treatment may involve surgical excision, Mohs surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy depending on the cancer type and stage. Education about skin cancer signs and protecting skin from the sun are also important.
Skin cancer
Skin cancer is caused by DNA damage from UV radiation exposure. The main types are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Risk factors include fair skin, sun exposure, suppressed immunity and family history. Diagnosis involves examining moles for the ABCDE signs of change. Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and photodynamic therapy. Prevention focuses on sun protection like sunscreen, clothing, hats and avoiding tanning to reduce UV exposure and skin damage.
Skin cancer
Skin cancers arise from abnormal skin cells that can invade or spread. The three main types are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma grows slowly and rarely spreads, while squamous cell carcinoma is more likely to spread. Melanoma is the most aggressive and dangerous type. Signs of skin cancer include changes to moles or growths on the skin.
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix — the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
Cancer of Cervix
Cervical cancer starts in the cells of the cervix and is the third most common cancer in women worldwide. It is usually caused by HPV infection, which can lead to abnormal cell growth in the cervix. Early stage cervical cancer may not show symptoms, while later stages can cause bleeding between periods or after sex. Diagnosis involves tests like a pap smear, HPV test, colposcopy, and imaging exams. Treatment options depend on the stage and include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical procedures like a hysterectomy. Regular screening is important, as early detection leads to better outcomes.

Uterine cancer (Endometrial & Cervical Cancer), Risk Factors, Diagnosis and Treatment options on the basis of staging.
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. It begins as pre-cancerous changes to cervical cells and can progress to cancer. About 10,520 new cases are diagnosed in the US each year, with risks highest for those who are sexually active at a young age or have HPV. Screening via Pap tests can detect cell abnormalities early when treatment is most effective. Treatment options depend on cancer stage and may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or vaccines.
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer begins in the cells of the cervix and is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in most cases. Regular cervical screening can detect pre-cancerous changes that may develop into cancer if left untreated. Early stage cervical cancer is often treated with surgery to remove the tumor while more advanced stages may require a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The document discusses risk factors, symptoms, screening, diagnosis, staging, and treatment options for cervical cancer in detail.
An introduction to cancer
Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and the spread of abnormal cells. It is caused by somatic mutations and disruptions to oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Many factors like environment, diet, smoking, and alcohol consumption can influence cancer risk. Researchers are studying the cancer genome to better understand carcinogenesis at the molecular level and identify new targeted therapies.

It notes that the most common types are malignant melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), with over 10,400 new melanoma cases and 81,600 NMSC cases diagnosed in the UK in 2006. Melanoma is more serious but less common than NMSC. Risk factors for skin cancer include UV radiation, skin type, and family history. The document provides details on characteristics and symptoms of different skin cancer types like melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. It stresses that all melanoma cancers and complex NMSC cases should be referred to skin cancer specialists.
Presentation on cervical cancer
The document discusses cervical cancer, including that it occurs in the cervix and is caused by HPV infection. It notes that over 2000 new cases are detected in Nepal each year. The main types are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Risk factors include HPV, multiple sex partners, smoking, and HIV/AIDS. Symptoms can include abnormal bleeding. Screening includes Pap tests and colposcopy with biopsies for diagnosis. Treatment options are surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, with follow up after treatment. Prevention includes avoiding risk factors and regular Pap screening.
management of cancer of cervix
The document discusses management dilemmas in cervical cancer. It notes that cervical cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide yet is preventable. Treatment options depend on the stage of cancer and may involve surgery such as radical hysterectomy or radiation therapy. Close follow up is important after treatment due to the risk of recurrence. Proper screening and early detection are emphasized to improve outcomes for cervical cancer patients.
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is a major health problem, especially in developing countries like India. It is caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Regular Pap screening can detect precancerous cell changes early when treatment is most effective. The HPV vaccine, when administered before sexual debut, can prevent HPV infection and thus most cervical cancers. Together, vaccination and screening can end cervical cancer as a major public health problem.
Lung cancer
Lung cancer is usually seen in males and smoking females over 50. Smoking cigarettes is the primary risk factor, with factors like number smoked and tar/nicotine content increasing risk. Other risks include secondhand smoke, asbestos, radon and arsenic exposure. Lung cancers are classified as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which includes squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma, or small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Symptoms often only appear once cancer has metastasized and can include coughing, wheezing and weight loss. Diagnosis involves imaging tests and biopsies. Treatment depends on cancer type and stage but may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common female cancer in the US and the second most common cause of cancer death in women. Risk factors include age, family history, lifestyle factors, and reproductive history. Evaluation of breast complaints requires a thorough history, physical exam including triple assessment with mammography, ultrasound and biopsy. Staging involves assessing tumor size, lymph node involvement and metastasis. Treatment may involve neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgery such as mastectomy or lumpectomy with radiation, and adjuvant systemic therapy.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. Treatment options include non-curative therapies like hormone therapy or potentially curative therapies like radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, and cryoablation. Cryoablation, also known as cryotherapy, involves using argon gas to freeze and destroy the prostate tissue with probes inserted through the skin between the scrotum and rectum under ultrasound guidance. It aims to kill all cancer cells while sparing nearby nerves to reduce side effects like erectile dysfunction and incontinence compared to other treatments. Studies show 89% of men treated with cryoablation were cancer-free after 7 years with low risks of complications.Breast cancer
Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States. Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it's far more common in women.
Endometrial Carcinoma
This document discusses endometrial carcinoma (cancer of the uterus). It begins with an anatomy of the uterus and defines endometrial cancer as beginning in the endometrial lining of the uterus. Some risk factors include obesity, hormonal imbalances, and nulliparity. Diagnosis involves ultrasound, biopsy and imaging. Treatment depends on cancer stage and grade, and may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy. Prognosis is generally good, though older age and advanced stage indicate poorer outcomes.
Head and Neck Cancer
Head and neck cancer refers to cancers that develop in the throat, mouth, sinuses, and lymph nodes in the neck. The most common type is squamous cell carcinoma, which arises in the lining of the mouth, nose and throat. Staging involves determining if the cancer is localized, regional (spread to lymph nodes), or distant (metastasized). Treatment depends on the stage and location but may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and rehabilitation. Regular follow-up is important after treatment to monitor for recurrence or new cancers.
Oncology Introduction.
Oncology is the study of malignant diseases such as cancer. The oldest treatment is surgery, but now includes radiotherapy and drug treatments. Cancer prevalence is high, being the second leading cause of death in Western countries. The risk of developing certain cancers varies based on age, sex, geography, genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Screening programs exist for some common cancers to facilitate earlier detection and improved treatment outcomes.
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is common. In this article, learn about the symptoms, risk factors, treatment options, and outlook for this type of cancer
Gynaecology cancer awareness
This document discusses several types of gynecological cancers that commonly affect women, including cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancer. It provides information on risk factors, prevention methods like HPV vaccination and cancer screening, signs and symptoms, and treatment types. The three most common cancers are breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer. Cervical cancer can often be linked to HPV infection and lacks symptoms in early stages. Screening through Pap tests and HPV testing is effective for prevention and early detection.
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer develops from precancerous changes to cervical cells that are caused by human papillomavirus infection. The transformation zone of the cervix, where squamous and columnar cells meet, is most susceptible to HPV infection and precancerous changes. Screening methods like the Pap test, HPV testing, visual inspection with acetic acid, and colposcopy are used to detect precancerous cells early through cervical examinations and biopsies. Vaccines against HPV can prevent infection from high-risk HPV types most commonly associated with cervical cancer.
Skin cancer
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States and arises from DNA mutations in skin cells. The three main types are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal and squamous cell carcinomas are common, locally destructive cancers but rarely spread, while melanoma is less common but more dangerous as it can spread. Diagnosis involves examination of suspicious skin lesions and biopsy of concerning areas. Treatment options depend on cancer type and severity but may include topical medications, surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Prevention through sun protection and skin self-exams is important given skin cancer risks like sun exposure and suppressed immunity.
introduction of Radiotherapy
1. The document discusses the topic of radiotherapy, including its introduction, principles, types, external beam therapy equipment and techniques, risks and side effects.
2. Radiotherapy uses radiation to damage cancer cell DNA and destroy their ability to reproduce. The goal is to deliver an optimal dose to the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
3. There are three main types of radiotherapy: external beam therapy, brachytherapy, and systemic radioisotope therapy. External beam therapy uses radiation from a linear accelerator while brachytherapy implants radioactive sources directly into tissues.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Australia, with over 80% of newly diagnosed cancers being skin cancers. The main cause of skin cancer is overexposure to UV radiation from the sun. There are three main types of skin cancer - melanoma, the most dangerous type, along with basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, which are known as non-melanoma skin cancers. It is important to check your skin regularly for any changes in moles or spots and see a doctor immediately if anything is noticed, as early detection can help avoid more serious outcomes from skin cancer like surgery or even death. Protection from the sun such as wearing sunscreen, protective clothing, hats, and seeking shade can help prevent skin cancer.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Dr. Ashfaq Afridi
Squamous cell carcinoma is a common form of skin cancer that develops in squamous cells in the epidermis. It is usually curable if caught early, but can metastasize in some cases. Risk factors include fair skin, sun exposure, and weakened immune system. Symptoms include new growths, sores that don't heal, or changes to existing growths. Diagnosis involves biopsy and examination under a microscope. Treatment options include excision, Mohs surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy depending on the severity and location of cancer. Prognosis is generally good if caught early, but decreases if cancer spreads to lymph nodes or other organs.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US, affecting over 1 million Americans each year. The three primary types are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer. To help prevent skin cancer, limiting UV exposure by wearing protective clothing and sunscreen (SPF 15-30), avoiding midday sun, and getting regular skin exams by a physician are recommended. Early detection of skin cancer through self-exams and medical exams can help improve treatment outcomes.
Skin Cancer
Skin Cancer is the abnormal growth of skin cells and most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. But this common form of cancer can also occur on areas of your skin not ordinarily exposed to sunlight.
Purpose:
The purpose of this webinar is to spread awareness among the people about skin cancer and it is also one of the most preventable cancers. By sharing facts about the dangers of unprotected sun exposure and encouraging people to check their skin for warning signs, we can and will save lives.
Cancer Monitoring
The document discusses several common types of cancers in Australia, including skin cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer. It provides statistics on the incidence and mortality rates of these cancers. For each cancer, it outlines risk factors, potential consequences, and treatment and prevention methods. Skin cancer has the highest rate in Australia, with over 380,000 cases per year. Lung cancer risk is strongly linked to smoking. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Australian women, with over 13,000 new cases annually.
Breast cancer
Breast cancer forms in the breast tissue. There are several types including ductal, lobular, and inflammatory breast cancer. Breast cancer is staged based on tumor size and spread. Stage I is a small tumor contained in the breast while stage IV cancer has spread beyond the lymph nodes. Diagnosis involves mammography, breast ultrasound, and biopsy. Treatment options include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapies like Herceptin. Chemotherapy can have side effects but works throughout the body to target any cancer cells that may have spread. Alternative medicines may help reduce breast cancer risk or toxicity of standard treatments.

This document discusses skin cancer, including the different types (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma), causes (ultraviolet radiation from sun exposure), risk factors, symptoms, staging, treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy), and nursing considerations. The main types of skin cancer are defined as basal and squamous cell carcinomas, which are the most common, or melanoma, which is less common but more dangerous. UV radiation can damage skin cell DNA and cause abnormal cell growth leading to skin cancer. Early detection of changes in moles, lesions, or other skin marks is important to diagnose skin cancer.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide. The three main types are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Risk factors include fair skin, sun exposure, and family history. Symptoms include new skin growths or changes to existing moles. Diagnosis involves inspection and biopsy of suspicious lesions. Treatment options depend on cancer type and stage but commonly include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy to remove or destroy cancer cells.
What is Cancer
Cancer is a group of diseases caused by changes in genes that control cell growth. Normally, cells grow and divide as needed by the body but cancer occurs when this process goes wrong and new cells form when unneeded. The most common cancer is skin cancer due to sun exposure. Lung cancer causes the most cancer deaths because of cigarette smoking. Common signs of cancer include lumps, skin changes, persistent coughs or difficulty swallowing. Cancer is typically treated through surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone or biological therapy.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Recently uploaded (20)
