Risk factors include HPV infection, early sexual activity, smoking, and poor immune function. Symptoms may include abnormal bleeding or discharge. Diagnosis involves Pap smear, biopsy, and imaging tests. Treatment options depend on cancer stage and include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or combinations. Complications can arise from the disease or its treatment and nursing care focuses on pain management, nutrition, infection prevention, and treatment side effects. Prognosis depends on cancer stage and type.
This document discusses breast cancer screening and prevention. It outlines three components of screening: genetic screening, breast screening, and cancer prevention. Breast screening involves breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination (CBE) by a doctor, and mammograms, MRI, or ultrasound for high-risk patients. Mammography is recommended annually starting at age 40 or earlier for high-risk women. MRI may supplement mammography for those at high lifetime risk. Ultrasound can be used for dense breasts. Regular BSE and screening can find lumps earlier than no screening or occasional screening. Risk factors include obesity, lack of exercise, not breastfeeding, alcohol use, hormone therapy, and not having children. Prevention aims
Cervical cancer develops slowly from precancerous dysplasia caused by human papillomavirus infection, which can be detected by Pap smears and treated to prevent cancer progression. Risk factors include multiple sexual partners, young age of first intercourse, smoking, and family history. Stages of cervical cancer are determined by how far the cancer has spread from the cervix, and treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies.
Breast cancer is the most common malignant condition of the breast. Some risk factors for breast cancer include hormonal factors like exposure to estrogen, genetic factors like mutations, lifestyle factors like alcohol use and lack of exercise, and reproductive factors like having a first child after age 30. Symptoms can include a new breast lump, breast skin changes, or nipple abnormalities. Treatment options include surgery like lumpectomy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy like tamoxifen, and lifestyle changes to prevent cancer.
The document provides an overview of how to conduct a comprehensive gynaecological examination, including general examination, chest/breast examination, abdominal examination, and pelvic examination. The pelvic examination involves inspection and palpation of the vulva, speculum examination of the vagina and cervix (including Pap smear), and bimanual digital examination of the uterus, adnexa, and pouch of Douglas. Thorough documentation of examination findings is emphasized.
The document discusses colorectal cancer, including its anatomy, signs and symptoms, screening tests, diagnosis, treatment options, and survival rates. Some key points are:
- Colorectal cancer affects the colon and rectum, which are parts of the digestive system. Common screening tests examine the rectum and stool for early detection.
- Symptoms can include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal discomfort, and unexplained weight loss. Screening is recommended starting at age 50.
- Tests used for screening and diagnosis include fecal occult blood tests, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and virtual colonoscopy. These exams look for abnormalities like polyps and cancers.
- Treatment depends on cancer stage
This document discusses rehabilitation for cancer patients. It describes how physical medicine and rehabilitation aims to restore and maintain function and quality of life for cancer patients and survivors. The rehabilitation team typically includes a physiatrist and physical or occupational therapists. Complications from cancer and its treatment that rehabilitation addresses include issues affecting the neuromuscular, skeletal, and lymphatic systems. Rehabilitation interventions can include therapeutic exercise, modalities like heat and cold therapy, orthotics, non-pharmacological pain management, and assistive devices. The overall goal is to improve patients' physical and functional abilities and independence.
Mr. Namdeo Shinde presented a paper on cancer introduction and treatment at Satara College of Pharmacy in India. The presentation discussed what cancer is, common types and causes of cancer, tests used to diagnose cancer, main treatment options including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy, and ways to prevent cancer through diet, exercise and avoiding risk factors. The presentation concluded that cancer is the second leading cause of death and that early prevention and treatment are important in managing this disease.
Ovarian cancer starts in the ovaries and can spread to other pelvic organs and abdominal cavity. The document discusses the definition, types, staging, grades, signs and symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ovarian cancer. It also outlines several nursing interventions for patients with ovarian cancer including education, symptom management, preventing complications, addressing body image issues, and psychotherapy.
Breast cancer screening programs aim to detect cancer early before symptoms appear. While screening guidelines vary, organizations generally recommend mammography every 1-2 years for women ages 50-69. In India, there is no organized screening program and detection usually occurs once symptoms develop. Risk factors for early-onset breast cancer include dense breasts and a family history of breast cancer. Screening women in their 40s can reduce breast cancer mortality, but also risks false positives and overdiagnosis. Genetic testing identifies mutations associated with high breast cancer risk.
Colon cancer develops when healthy cells in the colon develop genetic mutations, causing abnormal cell growth. Risk factors include older age, family history, inflammatory bowel diseases, obesity, smoking, and a diet low in fiber and high in fat. Symptoms include changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, and abdominal discomfort. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical exam, colonoscopy, and biopsies. Treatment may include surgery to remove the cancerous tissue, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Supportive care focuses on relieving pain and improving quality of life.
A multidisciplinary approach that includes surgery, medical oncology, and radiation oncology is required for optimal treatment of patients with rectal cancer
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death and second most common cancer in women. It occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow in an uncontrolled way and form tumors. The breasts contain lobes and lobules which produce milk, connected by ducts. The two main types are ductal carcinoma, originating in the ducts, and lobular carcinoma, originating in the lobules. Risk factors include gender, age, family history, obesity, lack of exercise, alcohol consumption, and hormone therapy. Screening methods include breast self-exams, clinical exams by a doctor, and mammography. Treatment options depend on cancer stage and may involve surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy. With early detection and treatment, the
Cervical cancer is the third most common gynecologic cancer worldwide. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is central to its development and is detected in nearly all cases. Risk factors include early onset of sexual activity, multiple sexual partners, and immunosuppression. It develops through four main steps: HPV infection, viral persistence, progression to precancer, and invasion. Symptoms can include abnormal bleeding or discharge, but early cancers may be asymptomatic. Diagnosis involves biopsy and staging evaluates extent of disease through physical and imaging exams. Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination based on cancer stage and patient factors.

This document discusses breast cancer, including its causes, risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, stages, types, and treatment options. Breast cancer begins when cells in the breast undergo genetic mutations causing uncontrolled growth. It is diagnosed through mammograms, ultrasounds, MRI and biopsy. There are two main types - ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) where cancer is confined to ducts, and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) where it has spread. Cancer is staged based on tumor size, lymph node involvement and metastasis to determine prognosis and the most effective treatment. Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy and targeted therapies.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in India. It occurs when breast cells grow abnormally and divide rapidly, forming a lump or mass that can spread to other parts of the body. Risk factors include hormonal, lifestyle, genetic and environmental factors. Early detection through screening such as breast self-exams, clinical exams and mammograms is important for effective treatment when cancer is small and has not spread.
Breast cancer screening involves various tests to detect breast cancer early in women who have no symptoms. Mammograms are currently the primary screening method, detecting cancers via calcifications or masses on x-rays. Ultrasounds can further examine masses and distinguish cysts from solid tumors. Women at average risk should begin annual mammograms at age 40-44 and continue screening every 1-2 years depending on age. Those at high risk due to family history or genes may begin screening earlier and also receive annual MRIs. Newer tests like molecular breast imaging are being studied but do not replace mammography. Screening aims to find cancer early when treatment is most effective.

Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells. It is the most common cancer among women in India, with over 150,000 new cases estimated in 2016. Risk factors include age, family history, lifestyle factors like alcohol use and obesity. Symptoms may include a painless breast lump or nipple discharge. Diagnosis involves mammography, biopsy and staging. Treatment options include surgery like lumpectomy or mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy and targeted therapies. The goal of treatment is to cure the cancer and prevent recurrence and spread to distant sites.
The document discusses breast cancer, including where it originates in the breast, early signs and symptoms, types such as ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive ductal carcinoma, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment options including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and hormone therapy, nursing interventions, prevention methods, and monitoring for side effects of treatment. Key types discussed in more depth are triple negative breast cancer and inflammatory breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, with nearly 1.7 million new cases diagnosed in 2012. It occurs when cancer cells form in the tissues of the breast and can spread to other parts of the body if not properly treated. Some key signs and symptoms include a breast lump, skin changes, nipple discharge or inversion. Risk factors include age, family history, obesity, alcohol use and hormone treatments. Treatment options depend on cancer stage but may involve surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or hormone therapy. Regular self-exams and mammograms are important for early detection and improved outcomes.
Regarding breast cancer diagnoses, almost 80% of cases involve invasive ductal carcinoma. IDC – Invasive (infiltrating) ductal carcinoma begins in a milk passage or duct and breaks through the wall of the duct. Invasive Ductal Breast Cancer generally occurs when the cancer cell invades the basement membrane of the breast, penetrating the underlying supportive tissue. From there, the cells can also extend to other parts of the body.
Why go for Early Breast Cancer Screening?Anita Arora
In cases of breast cancer there are numerous inevitable factors that lead to its onset like aging, genetic disorders and gender. Being a female is a big risk factor as the presence of estrogen and progesterone can result in breast cancer cells growth. In such cases early detection and breast cancer screening goes a long way in ensuring that the patient can undergo a successful treatment.
Breast cancer develops from breast tissue and is one of the most common types of cancer in women. Some signs and symptoms include a lump in the breast, changes to the skin on the breast, or fluid coming from the nipple. Risk factors include female sex, older age, family history, and certain genetic mutations. Diagnosis involves exams, mammograms, and other scans. Treatment options include surgery to remove tumors, medication like chemotherapy or hormone therapy, and radiation.

Cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell growth and can develop in almost any part of the body. It is caused by genetic mutations that alter the genes regulating cell growth. There are four main types of cancer: prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. Prostate cancer occurs in the prostate gland and early stages often cause no symptoms. It is usually diagnosed via a PSA blood test and confirmed with a biopsy. Breast cancer occurs in the breast tissue and may cause lumps, nipple discharge or pain. It is diagnosed via imaging tests and biopsy.
Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer death. It begins in the cells of the breast, usually the ducts or lobules, and can be invasive or non-invasive. Risk factors include being female, increasing age, family history, genetic factors, lifestyle factors like obesity, alcohol use, and reproductive factors. Symptoms may include a breast lump or changes to the breast or nipple. Treatment involves surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy depending on the cancer type and stage. Prevention strategies incorporate maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active, limiting alcohol, and breastfeeding.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
2. DEFINITION
• Breast cancer originates in your breast tissue. It occurs when
breast cells mutate (change) and grow out of control, creating
a mass of tissue (tumor). Like other cancers, breast cancer can
invade and grow into the tissue surrounding your breast. It can
also travel to other parts of your body and form new tumors.
When this happens, it’s called metastasis.
3. TYPES
• There are several different types of breast cancer, including:
• Infiltrating (invasive) ductal carcinoma. Starting in your milk
ducts of your breast, this cancer breaks through the wall of
your duct and spreads to surrounding breast tissue. Making up
about 80% of all cases, this is the most common type of breast
cancer.
• Ductal carcinoma in situ. Also called Stage 0 breast cancer,
ductal carcinoma in situ is considered by some to be
precancerous because the cells haven’t spread beyond your
milk ducts. This condition is very treatable. However, prompt
care is necessary to prevent the cancer from becoming
invasive and spreading to other tissues.
4. • Infiltrating (invasive) lobular carcinoma. This cancer forms in the
lobules of your breast (where breast milk production takes place)
and has spread to surrounding breast tissue. It accounts for 10% to
15% of breast cancers.
• Lobular carcinoma in situ is a precancerous condition in which there
are abnormal cells in the lobules of your breast. It isn't a true cancer,
but this marker can indicate the potential for breast cancer later on.
So, it’s important for women with lobular carcinoma in situ to have
regular clinical breast exams and mammograms.
• Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Making up about 15% of all
cases, triple negative breast cancer is one of the most challenging
breast cancers to treat. It’s called triple negative because it doesn’t
have three of the markers associated with other types of breast
cancer. This makes prognosis and treatment difficult.
5. • Inflammatory breast cancer. Rare and aggressive, this type of
cancer resembles an infection. People with inflammatory
breast cancer usually notice redness, swelling, pitting and
dimpling of their breast skin. It’s caused by obstructive cancer
cells in their skin’s lymph vessels.
• Paget’s disease of the breast. This cancer affects the skin of
your nipple and areola (the skin around your nipple).
6. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
• Breast cancer symptoms can vary for each person. Possible
signs of breast cancer include:
• A change in the size, shape or contour of your breast.
• A mass or lump, which may feel as small as a pea.
• A lump or thickening in or near your breast or in your
underarm that persists through your menstrual cycle.
• A change in the look or feel of your skin on your breast or
nipple (dimpled, puckered, scaly or inflamed).
• Redness of your skin on your breast or nipple.
7. • An area that’s distinctly different from any other area on
either breast.
• A marble-like hardened area under your skin.
• A blood-stained or clear fluid discharge from your nipple.
• Some people don’t notice any signs of breast cancer at all.
That’s why routine mammograms and are so important.
8. CAUSES
• Age. Being 55 or older increases your risk for breast cancer.
• Sex. Women are much more likely to develop breast cancer
than men.
• Family history and genetics. If you have parents, siblings,
children or other close relatives who’ve been diagnosed with
breast cancer, you’re more likely to develop the disease at
some point in your life. About 5% to 10% of breast cancers are
due to single abnormal genes that are passed down from
parents to children, and that can be discovered by genetic
testing.
• Smoking. Tobacco use has been linked to many different types
of cancer, including breast cancer.
9. • Alcohol use. Research indicates that drinking alcohol can
increase your risk for certain types of breast cancer.
• Obesity. Having obesity can increase your risk of breast cancer
and breast cancer recurrence.
• Radiation exposure. If you’ve had prior radiation therapy —
especially to your head, neck or chest — you’re more likely to
develop breast cancer.
• Hormone replacement therapy. People who use hormone
replacement therapy (HRT) have a higher risk of being
diagnosed with breast cancer.
10. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
• Mammogram. These special X-ray images can detect changes
or abnormal growths in your breast. A mammogram is
commonly used in breast cancer prevention.
• Ultrasonography. This test uses sound waves to take pictures
of the tissues inside of your breast. It’s used to help diagnose
breast lumps or abnormalities.
• Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning: A PET scan
uses special dyes to highlight suspicious areas. During this
test, your healthcare provider injects a special dye into your
veins and takes images with the scanner.
11. • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): This test uses magnets
and radio waves to produce clear, detailed images of the
structures inside of your breast.
12. STAGES
• Stage 0. The disease is non-invasive. This means it hasn’t
broken out of your breast ducts.
• Stage I. The cancer cells have spread to the nearby breast
tissue.
• Stage II. The tumor is either smaller than 2 centimeters across
and has spread to underarm lymph nodes or larger than 5
centimeters across but hasn’t spread to underarm lymph
nodes. Tumors at this stage can measure anywhere between 2
to 5 centimeters across, and may or may not affect the nearby
lymph nodes.
13. • Stage III. At this stage, the cancer has spread beyond the point
of origin. It may have invaded nearby tissue and lymph nodes,
but it hasn’t spread to distant organs. Stage III is usually
referred to as locally advanced breast cancer.
• Stage IV. The cancer has spread to areas away from your
breast, such as your bones, liver, lungs or brain. Stage IV
breast cancer is also called metastatic breast cancer.
14. TREATMENT
• Breast cancer surgery
• Breast cancer surgery involves removing the cancerous
portion of your breast and an area of normal tissue
surrounding the tumor. There are different types of surgery
depending on your situation, including:
• Lumpectomy. Also called a partial mastectomy, a lumpectomy
removes the tumor and a small margin of healthy tissue
around it. Typically, some of the lymph nodes — in your breast
or under your arm — are also removed for evaluation. People
who have a lumpectomy often have radiation therapy in the
weeks following the procedure.
15. • Mastectomy. Removal of your entire breast is another option.
In some cases, doctors can perform a nipple-sparing
mastectomy to preserve your nipple and areola (the dark skin
around your nipple). Many women choose to undergo either
immediate or delayed breast reconstruction following their
mastectomy.
16. • Sentinel node biopsy. To identify the sentinel lymph node,
doctors inject a dye that tracks to thefirst lymph node that
cancer would spread to. If that lymph node is cancer-free,
then other lymph nodes don’t need to be removed. If that
lymph node has cancer in it, it may be necessary to remove
additional lymph nodes. Often, there’s more than one sentinel
node identified, but the fewer lymph nodes removed the
lower the chance of developing swelling in your arm
(lymphedema). A sentinel lymph node biopsy can be done
with either a lumpectomy or a mastectomy.
17. • Axillary lymph node dissection. If multiple lymph nodes are
involved by the cancer, an axillary lymph node dissection may
be done to remove them. This means removing many of the
lymph nodes under your arm (your axilla).
• Modified radical mastectomy. During this procedure, your
entire breast is removed in addition to your nipple. Nearby
lymph nodes in your underarm area are also removed, but
your chest muscles are left intact. Breast reconstruction can
often be an option if desired.
18. • Radiation therapy - (also called radiotherapy) is a cancer
treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill
cancer cells and shrink tumors. At low doses, radiation is used
in x-rays to see inside your body,
• Types of radiation therapy
• The type of radiation therapy that you may have depends on
many factors, including:
• the type of cancer
19. • the size of the tumor
• the tumor’s location in the body
• how close the tumor is to normal tissues that are sensitive to
radiation
• your general health and medical history
• whether you will have other types of cancer treatment
• other factors, such as your age and other medical conditions
20. • External beam radiation therapy
• External beam radiation therapy comes from a machine that
aims radiation at your cancer. The machine is large and may be
noisy. It does not touch you, but can move around you,
sending radiation to a part of your body from many directions.
• External beam radiation therapy is a local treatment, which
means it treats a specific part of your body. For example, if
you have cancer in your lung, you will have radiation only to
your chest, not to your whole body.
21. • Internal radiation therapy
• Internal radiation therapy is a treatment in which a source of
radiation is put inside your body. The radiation source can be
solid or liquid.
• Internal radiation therapy with a solid source is
called brachytherapy. In this type of treatment, seeds, ribbons,
or capsules that contain a radiation source are placed in your
body, in or near the tumor. Like external beam radiation
therapy, brachytherapy is a local treatment and treats only a
specific part of your body.
• With brachytherapy, the radiation source in your body will
give off radiation for a while.
22. • Hormone therapy for breast cancer
• Some types of breast cancer use hormones — such as
estrogen and progesterone — to grow. In these
cases, hormone therapy can either lower estrogen levels or
stop estrogen from attaching to breast cancer cells. Most
often, healthcare providers use hormone therapy after
surgery to reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence.
However, they may also use it before surgery to shrink the
tumor or to treat cancer that has spread to other parts of your
body.
23. • Immunotherapy for breast cancer
• Immunotherapy uses the power of your own immune system
to target and attack breast cancer cells. Treatment is given
intravenously (through a vein in your arm or hand). Your
healthcare provider might use immunotherapy for breast
cancer in combination with chemotherapy.
24. • Targeted drug therapy for breast cancer
• Some drugs can target specific cell characteristics that cause
cancer. Your healthcare provider might recommend targeted
drug therapy in cases where breast cancer has spread to other
areas of your body. Some of the most common drugs used in
breast cancer treatment include monoclonal antibodies
(like trastuzumab, pertuzumab and margetuximab), antibody-
drug conjugates (like ado-trastuzumab emtansine and fam-
trastuzumab deruxtecan) and kinase inhibitors (such
as lapatinib, neratinib and tucatinib).
