Oncology Nursing:-An oncology nurse is a specialized nurse who cares for cancer patients. These nurses require advanced certifications and clinical experiences in oncology further than the typical baccalaureate nursing program provides. Oncology nursing care can be defined as meeting the various needs of oncology patients during the time of their disease including appropriate screenings and other preventive practices, symptom management, care to retain as much normal functioning as possible, and supportive measures upon the end of life.
What is oncology?
Oncology is the branch of medicine that researches, identifies, and treats cancer. A physician who works in the field of oncology is an oncologist.
Oncologists must first diagnose cancer, which is usually carried out via biopsy, endoscopy, X-ray, CT scanning, MRI, PET scanning, ultrasound, or other radiological methods. Nuclear medicine can also be used to diagnose cancer, as can blood tests or tumor markers. Oncology is often linked with hematology, which is the branch of medicine that deals with blood and blood-related disorders.
Treatment
Once a diagnosis is made, the oncologist discusses the disease stage with the patient. Staging will dictate the treatment of cancer. Chemotherapy — which is defined as the destruction of cancer cells — may be used, as well as radiation therapy. Surgery is used to remove tumors. Hormone therapy is used to treat certain types of cancers, and monoclonal antibody treatments are gaining popularity. Research into cancer vaccines and immunotherapies is ongoing. Palliative care in oncology treats pain and other symptoms of cancer.
Treatment team
Cancer is often treated in a team effort, with at least two or three types of oncologists, including medical, surgical, or radiation. The oncology treatment team may also include a pathologist, a diagnostic radiologist, or an oncology nurse. In the event of a new or a difficult-to-treat case of cancer, the oncology care team may consult a tumor board, made up of various medical experts from all relevant disciplines. The tumor board reviews the case and recommends the best course of cancer treatment for the patient.
Oncology nurse
The oncology nurse has many roles, from helping with cancer screening, detection, and prevention, to the intensive care focus of bone marrow transplantation. Work settings for oncology nurses also vary and include acute care hospitals, ambulatory care clinics, private offices, radiation therapy facilities, and home care agencies. Oncology nurses work with adult and pediatric patients with cancer.
Pediatric Oncology
Pediatric oncology is a medical specialty that focuses on cancer care for children.
The National Cancer Institute estimates that 10,270 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in children in 2017. Of these, 1,190 children will die from the disease.
Pediatric oncology is an important medical field that treats all pediatric cancer types, including acute lymphocytic leukemia,
Cancer is a life-threatening disease. 80% to 90% of all cancers are the result of the things we do to ourselves. Among women, breast cancer is the second most common cancer.
Prostate cancer or tumor is the most common cancer in men other than non-melanoma skin cancer.
The majority (more than 75%) of cases occur in men over age 65.
Risk factors for prostate cancer including increasing age, the incidence of prostate cancer increase rapidly after the age of 50 years. And more than 70% cases occur in men older than 65 year of age.
Ovarian cancer is when abnormal cells in the ovary begin to multiply out of control and form a tumor. If left untreated, the tumor can spread to other parts of the body. This is called metastatic ovarian cancer.
The ovaries are two female reproductive glands that produce ova, or eggs. They also produce the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.
Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and stomach. At this late stage, ovarian cancer is more difficult to treat and can be fatal.
Ovarian cancer often has no symptoms in the early stages. Later stages are associated with symptoms, but they can be non-specific, such as loss of appetite and weight loss.
Blood test to measure cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels. This is a biomarker that is used to assess treatment response for ovarian cancer and other reproductive organ cancers. However, menstruation, uterine fibroids, and uterine cancer can also affect levels of CA-125 in the blood.
Biopsy. This involves removing a small sample of tissue from the ovary and analyzing the sample under a microscope. A biopsy is the only way your doctor can confirm whether you have ovarian cancer.
Surgery and chemotherapy are generally used to treat ovarian cancer.
There are many types of cancer treatment. The types of treatment that patient receive will depend on the type of cancer, stage of cancer and how advanced it is.
Some people with cancer will have only one treatment. But most people have a combination of treatments, such as surgery with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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!

2. Connective tissue is a broad term that includes bone, cartilage, fat,
vascular, or hematopoietic tissues
3. SARCOMA
The word sarcoma is derived from the Greek sarkōma MEANS "fleshy"
A sarcoma is a malignant tumor, a type of cancer that arises from
connective tissue. Bone and soft tissues can be found nearly
everywhere in the body, a sarcoma can start in any part of the body.
• 60% begin in an arm or leg
• 30% start in the torso or abdomen
• 10% occur in the head or neck
Both children and adults can develop a sarcoma.
4. Epidemiology
• It is rare, accounting for about 1% of all adult cancers.
• sarcomas represent about 15% of all childhood cancers.
6. Bone sarcoma includes
• Osteosarcoma
• Chondrosarcoma
• Ewing sarcoma
• Hemangioendothelioma
• Angiosarcoma
• Fibrosarcoma/myofibrosarcoma
• Chordoma
7. Soft tissue sarcoma includes..
Soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) are a group of cancers that begin in the
connective tissues that support and connect the body, including:
Blood vessels, adipose cells, Lining of joints, Lymph vessels, Muscle,
Nerves, Tendons
8. Name of Sarcoma Related Normal Tissue Type
Angiosarcoma Blood or lymph vessels
Ewing tumors tumor of stem cells
Fibrosarcoma Fibroblasts (connective tissue)
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) Specialized neuromuscular cells of the
digestive tract
Liposarcoma Fat tissue
Leiomyosarcoma Smooth muscle
Kaposi sarcoma Blood vessels
Myxofibrosarcoma Connective tissue
Rhabdomyosarcoma Skeletal muscle
Neurofibrosarcoma nerve endings
9. Causes
• Unknown
• Exposure to ionizing radiation
• Alkylating agents chemotherapeutic medicines
• Inherited genetic syndromes
• Paget's disease of bone
• Exposure to vinyl chloride, Arsenic
• Kaposi's sarcoma
• lymphedema
10. Clinical feature
• bone pain, especially at night, and swelling around the site of the tumor.
• Firm, painless lumps or nodules.
• any lumps that are larger than 2 inches (5 centimeters), grow larger, or are painful,
regardless of their location. People with a sarcoma that starts in the abdomen
may not have any symptoms, or they may have pain or a sense of fullness.
• Pain
11. Classification
• Localized - tumor is only in 1 area of the body.
• Locally advanced - the tumor involves or attaches to nearby tissues or organs.
• Metastatic - the sarcoma has spread to parts of the body far away from where
the sarcoma started
12. Staging
• Stage I: The tumor is small and low grade (GX or G1).
• Stage II: The tumor is small and higher grade (G2 or G3).
• Stage III: The tumor is larger and higher grade (G2 or G3). Stage IV:
The cancer has spread to other parts of the body
• Stage IV: The cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
13. Diagnosis
• history and physical examination
• Laboratory studies - ↑ alkaline phosphatase levels, ↑ESR
• Biopsy
• X-ray - to look at lumps under the skin or other organs in the body.
• MRI studies and radioisotope bone scans - to determine whether a sarcoma can be
removed with surgery.
• Computed tomography (CT) imaging - to measure the tumor’s size
15. Targeted therapy - It targets the cancer’s specific genes, proteins, or the tissue
environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival, usually by blocking the
action of proteins in cells. This type of treatment blocks the growth and spread of
cancer cells and limits damage to healthy cells.
e.g - Imatinib, Pazopanib, Tazemetostat, Pexidartinib
Immunotherapy also called biologic therapy, is designed to boost the body's
natural defenses to fight the cancer. It uses materials made either by the body or in a
laboratory to improve, target, or restore immune system function
