Breast cancer :-
is a disease in which cells in the breast grow out of control. There are different kinds of breast cancer. The kind of breast cancer depends on which cells in the breast turn into cancer.
Breast cancer can begin in different parts of the breast:
1- Lobule (the glands that produce milk).
2- Ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple).
3- Connective tissue (which consists of fibrous and fatty tissue)( surrounds and holds everything together) .
*Most breast cancers begin in the ducts or lobules.
*Breast cancer can spread outside the breast through blood vessels and lymph vessels.

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!

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

2. Malignancy in Latin male meaning “badly”and –gnus
means “born”is the tendency of medical condition to
become progressively worse.
Neoplasms is new growth of tissues that serves no
physiological actions.
Tumour is clumping of neoplasmic cells.
3. Hippocrates (ca. 460 BC – ca. 370 BC) described several
kinds of cancer, referring to them with
the Greek word καρκίνοs karkinos (crabor crayfish).This name
comes from the appearance of the cut surface of a solid
malignant tumor, with "the veins stretched on all sides as the
animal the crab has its feet, whence it derives its
name".Galen stated that "cancer of the breast is so called
because of the fancied resemblance to a crab given by the
lateral prolongations of the tumor and the adjacent distended
veins".Celsus (ca. 25 BC – 50 AD) translated karkinos into
theLatin cancer, also meaning crab .
4. What Is Cancer?
Cancer is a large group
of diseases (over 200)
characterized by
uncontrolled growth
and spread of
abnormal cells.*
5. Normal Cells Vs. Cancer Cells
Lose control over growth and
multiplication
Do not self-destruct when they
become worn out or damaged
Crowd out healthy cells
6. Growth of Cancer Cells
Size of cancer cells:
One million cancer
cells = head of a pin
One billion cancer
cells = a small grape
230 = 1,073,741,824

33. TNM Staging
T (a,is,(0),1-4): size or direct extent of the primary tumor
N (0-3): degree of spread to regional lymph nodes
N0: tumor cells absent from regional lymph nodes
N1: tumor cells spread to closest or small number of regional
lymph nodes
N2: tumor cells spread to an extent between N1 and N3.
N3: tumor cells spread to most distant or numerous regional
lymph nodes
M (0/1): presence of metastasis
M0: no distant metastasis
M1: metastasis to distant organs (beyond regional lymph nodes)
34. Other parameters.....
G (1-4): the grade of the cancer cells (i.e. they are "low grade"
if they appear similar to normal cells, and "high grade" if they
appear poorly differentiated)
R (0/1/2): the completeness of the operation (surgery-
boundaries free of cancer cells or not)
L (0/1): invasion into lymphatics
V (0/1): invasion into vein
C (1-4): a modifier of the certainty (quality) of the last
mentioned parameter
35. Examples
Small, low grade cancer, no metastasis, no spread to
regional lymph nodes, cancer completely removed,
resection material seen by pathologist - pT1 pN0 M0 R0
G1; this would be considered Stage I.
Large, high grade cancer, with spread to regional lymph
nodes and other organs, not completely removed, seen
by pathologist - pT4 pN2 M1 R1 G3; this would be
considered Stage IV.
Most Stage I tumors are curable; most Stage IV tumors
are not.

42. MIASM
Dr. A.H. Grimmer quote "My experience has been that
there is not a case of Cancer without a tubercular
background. It growths on a tubercular soul. It is the miasm
where in the blending of all the other miasms results".
disease has an evolution of miasmatic phase from Psora to
Syphilis, the same holds true for cancer. Hahnemann in his
Chronic diseases classifies cancer under Psora (here
actually he means the earliest pre-cancerous states).
Robert in his Principles and Art of Cure mentions cancer as
multi-miasmatic. I would like to classify as follows : (1) All
exophytic growths e.g. Warts, Dermoid cyst, Bony tumors,
etc. are syco-syphilitic in nature. (2) All ulcerative and
fungative growths are syphilitic in nature. (3) Whenever
cancer is accompanied by haemorrhage and secondary
infection it is due to presence of strong tubercular miasm
43. The potencies suggested are ( as a general guideline ) -
high potencies for the precancerous phase and medium
and low potencies for the cancerous phase .
In the precancerous phase , the results obtained with the
use of these medicines alone are good .
In the cancerous phase , the results obtained with the use
of these medicines alone are very uncertain and cure is
extremely rare .
44. Scope of homoeopathy
General Treatment of Cancer.
This is composed of :
1. Constitutional remedies.
2. Cancer remedies.
3. Drainage remedies.
4. Specific nosodes.
5. Anthroposophical remedies
45. Homoeopathic treatment can be useful in cancer -
1. To retard the progression of cancer
2. To palliate the cancer pains .
3. To cure precancerous state , and
4. To oppose the ' general intoxication ' in a case of
confirmed cancer .
46. Selection of the medicine
There are two lines of action -
1. General treatment - medicines given during the
precancerous phase ; the cancerous phase and after it .
2. Local treatment - possible only during the actual
cancerous phase.
47. General treatment
This comprises : a. Constitutional remedies
b. Cancer remedies
c. Drainage and canalisation remedies
A. Constitutional or basic remedies ; These are the
polychrest remedies selected
mainly on the basis of the mental and physical
general symptoms and to a
limited extent on the basis of physical particular
symptoms .
48. b. Cancer remedies
The most habitual remedies :
They have the most constant action on the tumoral
element as well as the general state ;
Example : Sedum acre , Sedum repens , Scrofularia
nodosa , Sempervivum tectorum , Carbo animalis ,
Cundurango , Cistus canadensis , Hydrastis ,
Kreosotum, Ornithogalum , Phytolacca .
ii. Remedies for pains Example : Arsenicum album ,
Nitric acid , Apis , Arnica , Bryonia , Calcarea acetica ,
Euphorbium , Magnesia phosphorica , Ruta .
49. iii. Tumour remedies
Silicea and its satellites Silica acid , Calcarea :
Connective and interstitial tissue
Baryta carbonica : Scleroed and indurated
tissues , especially breast adenomas.
Aurum metallicum, Aurum arsenicum, Aurum
muriaticum natronatum : Indurated and
scirrhous forms of malignancy .
Plumbum iodatum : Indurated and scirrhous
forms of malignancy.
Selenium: Sarcomas
50. The Calcareas : Lymphatic glands
Calcarea fluorica : Connective tissue and glands.
Aurum , Ruta , Silica , Symphytum : Osseous tissue
.
iv. Several minerals and acids : The results with these
do not appear to be encouraging.
Acetic acid , Carbolic acid , formic acid , Calcarea
iodata , Calcarea oxalica , Kali Cyanatum , Plumbum
iodatum , Cinnabaris , Carboneum sulphuratum , Ova
tosta , Arsenicum bromatum , Antimonium chloridum
51. c. Drainage and canalisation remedies
:
These remedies are supposed to drain the toxins
produced in the body.They are selected on the basis
of their local action and administered in material
doses , that is , one or two drops of a well prepared
Example :
Lips : Cundurango .
Tongue : Kali cyanatum ,
Sempervum tectorum, Galium aparine .
Pharynx : Cistus canadensis .
Oesophagus : Cundurango .
Stomach : Carbo animalis ,
Cundurango , Hydrastis , Lycopodium, Kali
bichromicum.
55. Local treatment

All cancers : Sedum repens , Phytolacca , Scrofularia
nodosa Hydrastis . ,
Stomach : Cundurango , Ornithogalum , Conium .
Breast : Conium , Bryonia .
Ulcerated cancers : Calendula .

The remedies for the ill-effects of radiotherapy are Cadmium iodide ,
Calcarea fluor , Fluoric acid , Phos. , Radium brom , Silica , Sulphur , X-
ray.
56. Cancer themes and personality
the overwhelming high degree of cell division, with need for
control in order to survive
feeling of chaos, disorder, and of losing control
need for self control and to restore order
little chance of success but some hope
expected to fulfill a great demand which he is incapable of
doing
making superhuman efforts and stretching oneself beyond the
limits of his capacity in order to survive
failure is death and destruction
continuous and prolonged struggle which seems to have no
end
cancer people are a model of perfection, one with whom it is
easy to get along and difficult to find faults
no rest or freedom from tension
57. try hard to please others
high level of performance
often had demanding parents, who set up high
expectations, demanded quality and achievements, and
were moralizing and ethical
or have a history of lack of closeness with one or both
parents, or a lack of closeness with spouse or others
who would normally be close
58. 10 Rules to Avoid Cancer
2. Don’t smoke.
3. Don’t smoke.
4. Avoid exposure to other known carcinogens,
including aflatoxin, asbestos and UV light.
6. Eat fresh fruit and vegetables several times a day.
7. Be physically active and avoid obesity.
8. Have vaccination against, or early detection/treatment
of, cancer causing chronic infections.
9. Have the right genes.
10. Have good luck !
5. Enjoy a healthy diet, moderate in calories,
salt and fat, and low in alcohol.
1. Don’t smoke
59.
60. “In the battle of life,
When the wave and the
gale
Are around and about;
If the footing should fail
If thine eye should grow
dim, and thy courage
depart,
Look aloft and be firm and
be fearless of heart."
