Cancer presents a major health threat. Lifestyle factors like diet play a significant role in cancer prevention. Scientific research shows that consuming fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals can reduce cancer risk by as much as 30%. These compounds block carcinogens and prevent tumor growth. Making small changes to incorporate more anticancer foods like cabbage, berries, citrus fruits, and green tea can help fight cancer development.
This is a presentation which was sent to me by a friend. Being a topic which remains a perennial cause of concern I felt that I should share it with everyone - hence this upload.
Cancer is the most evil of illnesses. It has only objective - to finish you off in the fastest time possible. And it usually succeeds.
But the reality is that in many cases, cancer does not find us. We invite cancer, by doing things we should not be doing...
Excellent presentation on cancer
A book written by Professor Richard Beliveau and Dr Denis Ginger on “foods to fight cancer” have the following findings:
Statistic shows that one out of three people is affected by cancer before the age of 75
This represents 12 per cent of all reported deaths on Earth.
However, fear not, there is hope.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Excellent presentation on cancer
1. We just learnt that one of our friends has cancer.
Certainly it sadden us but this seems too common
and why is it so?
The fact is Cancer presents a threat in our life.
This is very real
2. A book written by Professor Richard Beliveau and Dr Denis Ginger on
“foods to fight cancer” have the following findings:
Statistic shows that one out of three people is affected
by cancer before the age of 75
This represents 12 per cent of all reported deaths on
Earth.
However, fear not, there is hope.
3. People fear cancer and also believe that there is little
they can do to prevent it. They put developing cancer
down to hereditary factors or sheer bad luck.
However, scientific research shows that this is not the
case, and that lifestyle factors such as diet can play a
major role in preventing cancer
Do you know, one third of all cancers are linked to poor
eating habits?
4. Statistic :
30% of Cancer patients are smokers, if you are a non smoker, then risk of
cancer will be reduced by 30%
15% of Cancer patients are due to hereditary, if your family line does not
have any cancer history, then risk of cancer is further reduced by 15%.
Another 30% of Cancer patients are due to poor dietary habits. So it
depends on you, you can further reduce the risk of cancer by another 30%
by having good dietary habit. The choice is yours.
The choice is
yours
5. Poor Dietary risk cancer
Higher risk
Lower risk
Generally, data has shown that individuals consuming fewest
fruits and vegetables have twice the chance of developing
certain cancers, suggest that these dietary shortcomings could
play a role in the higher cancer rates now afflicting the West.
6. What is Cancer ?
• Cancer is a disease of the cell. Our human
beings is made up of 60,000 billion cells.
• The growth of cancer takes a long time over
many years or decades. A cancerous tumor
is not an instant phenomenon, it is a result of
a long process that take several years to
form.
• The slowness in the growth gives us the
opportunity to intervene to block the rebel
cell from maturing into a cancer cell.
7. Preventing Cancer Growth
Common method is by destroying the cancerous tumor by
1) Surgery, 2) Radiotherapy and 3) Chemotherapy ( Usually done
together ).
Limitations
• Surgery – cannot eliminate all cancerous cells.
• Radiotherapy ( X rays) – radiation will kill some of the normal
cells too.
• Chemotherapy by medication or drugs to reach cancerous cells –
many side effects including hair loss or drop in immune cell, organs
complication.
4) Anti-Angiogenesis Metronomic is a new approaches by attacking
the tumor’s blood supply thus depriving it food. But anti-
Angiogenesis Metronomic has to be a continuous process.
The good news is that a significant quantities of some Anti-
Angiogenesis Metronomic molecules are present in fruits and
vegetables.
9. Eating to Prevent Cancer
• While it is true that the tumors that forms spontaneously in our
bodies generally remain microscopic in size, posing no danger
to health, it is also true that all too often these tumors do not
grow and develop into lethal end stage cancel. However, if it
does grow, we will be at risk of developing cancer.
• Anticancer molecules present in fruits and vegetables fight
cancers at the source, before it can reach maturity. Anticancer
molecules present in food keeps them from progressing to an
advanced stage of lethality.
• In this way, we should try to think of cancer as a chronic
disease, one that can be controlled on a daily basis with the
help of foods rich in anticancer compounds.
• Among the many anticancer compound present in fruits and
vegetables, phytochemicals are the most important.
11. Anticancer compound present in fruits and vegetables,
phytochemicals block carcinogen action, block the
promotion and progression of cancer cells
12. Cabbage
• Cabbage family ( Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower,
Brussels sprouts ) have an almost magical ability to
fight against the development of cancerous cells in
the body. Eaten regularly, they are an easy way to
help to prevent cancer.
• Broccoli is by far the best source of sulphorahane
( one of the phythochemical compounds )
• Rapid or light cooking techniques, such as steaming
or stir-frying in a wok, are simple and effective ways
to maximize the quantity of anticancer molecules.
Over cooking reduces the effectiveness of the
anticancer molecules.
13. Garlic and Onions
• Used for more than 2000 years before Christ, Garlic
and Onions represent one of the best documented
examples of the role of plants in the treatment of
diseases and maintenance of good health.
• The molecules found in garlic and onions are also
capable of slowing down the propagation of tumors
by interfering with the growth processes in cancer
cells, leading to cell death by apoptosis.
• Freshly crushed garlic is by far the best source of
anticancer compounds and should be preferred over
supplements (Drug).
14. Soya
• Soya Beans, Soya sauce, Tofu has Isoflavones, the
anticancer compounds present in soya, possesses a
chemical structure similar to that of sex hormones
and may thus interfere with the development of
cancers caused by high levels of these hormones in
the bloodstream.
• Soya plays an important role in the prevention of
breast and prostate cancer.
• Studies has shown that taking soya at an early age
for woman decreases the incidence of breast cancer.
15. Japanese Green Tea
• Green tea is an exceptional source of powerful
anticancer molecules that make it a key feature of
any diet designed to prevent the growth of cancer.
• Green tea undergo the least transformation of all
teas.
• Black tea (Red tea) – resembles that of green tea,
except that the roasting stage is carried out and thus
have very little anticancer activity.
• Japanese Green tea contains much more anticancer
activity know as EGCG than Chinese Green Tea.
• Brewing time matters too, and to maximize the
extraction of the anticancer compound, the infusion
time allowed should be at least 8 to 10 minutes.
17. Berries
• Most berries are an exceptionally abundant source
of several classes of polyphenols that posses
anticancer potential: ellagic acid, anthocyanidins,
and proanthocyanidins.
• Eating cranberries should be preferred over drinking
cranberry juice.
18. Omega-3s
• Studies show that omega-3s reduce the incidence of
cardiovascular disease and in cancer prevention.
• Omega-3s acids are naturally extremely unstable and
it is preferable to use whole foods as source instead
of omerga-3s supplements (Drug).
• Eating fatty fish once or twice a week is one simple
way of increasing omerga-3 levels in your diet.
• Sardines, Salmon, linseed, soya, nuts are other
sources of Omega -3 fatty acids.
19. Trans-fats, one of the unknown fats that are unknown in nature and
that cause damage to cell. Look at the label behind the food
package, it usually indicates if there is any trans- fat.
20. Citrus Fruits
• Citrus fruits : Oranges, Grapefruit, Lemons, Mandarins
• Studies has suggested that phytochemical compounds
in citrus fruits block tumor growth by direct action on
the cancerous cells, restricting their ability to
reproduce.
• Citrus fruit consumption, whether in the form of whole
fruit or juice, supplies the body with an incomparable
source of specific anticancer molecules, while also
providing the necessary daily requirements of many
vitamins and minerals.
21. Dark Chocolate
• Dark chocolate contains important amounts of
polyphenols that are potentially capable of
exercising beneficial effects on some chronic
illness, including cancers and cardiovascular
disease ( heart and blood vessel).
• Milk chocolate contains less polyphenols
• Substitute dark chocolate for sugar-filled junk food
with no nutritional benefits.
22. Supplement ( Drugs)
• Eating whole food provides greater
benefits than taking supplements.
• There are no and there will no miracle
cures that are able to entirely repair the
damage caused by a poor diet. You
cannot eat just anything and then get
off the hook by taking a pill.
23. Myth
• Fruits and vegetables contain pesticide residues that
causes cancer. - False, the residue is present in
trace amounts and no study has ever established a
link between these residues and cancer.
• Only organic fruits and vegetables offer real health
benefits. - False, In fact it would be better to
consume many standard fruits and vegetables on a
daily basis than to only occasionally eat organic
foods.
24. Fighting Cancer Menu
• Quit smoking
• Lower red meat and calorie intake- avoid or reduce
industrially process foods i.e. chips, soft drinks,
crisps, hamburgers.
• Avoid barbecued meats. The greasy drippings that
fall and catch fire produce toxic substances know as
aromatic hydrocarbons.
• Exercise regularly
• Choosing to modify your diet in order to include
certain foods that are exceptional sources of
anticancer molecules represents one of the best
weapons currently at our disposal in the fight
against cancer.
25. Anti-Cancer Food
• Lightly cook, steam or stir-fry Cabbages,
Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussels sprouts or
Tomatoes.
• Habitually add Garlic or Onions to your cooking.
• Drink more Soya Bean Drink or Japanese Green
Tea or choose Red Wine than beer.
• When you buy your fruit, take Berries, Oranges,
Grapefruit, Lemons, Mandarin Oranges
conveniently.
• Add Sardines or Salmon to your dish.
• Choose Chocolate rather than sugar.

27. If you are keen to get more details, you may consider buying the book
28. After reading the book, I have a better understanding
about cancer. At least we are in control of our life,
so why put our life and our family at risk.
Just make an effort and take more anticancer food. Do
not make life difficult for ourselves, simple
adjustments to our lifestyle keeps the doctor away.
Take care
