Government of India provides advance medical facilities to all cancer patients Cancer is famously known as pure ‘bad luck’. Every human body has millions and trillions of cells, going about their business, performing their function. Cells have an expiry on them; some of them die in a few weeks to a few months. When a cell goes bad, that’s when the problems began. If a normal cell’s physiology changes and it becomes dysfunctional, this signals other cells to attack it and ultimately get rid of it. Imagine a cell’s physiology changing due to any abnormal factor such as smoke, alcohol, pollution, obesity and the cells begins to multiply endlessly - this is how cancer is born. In India, the health ministry announced that about a million new cancer cases occur every year. This deadly disease is also the cause of more than 500,000 deaths annually. Over the decades, prevention measures, early diagnosis and treatment advancements have led to the improvement of cancer survival rate in humans. There are several hundreds of scientists who are working on quicker, more effective ways to diagnose cancer and treat this life threatening disease. These futuristic techniques will not only replace fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and intensive biopsies, they are expected to be more cost effective as well. There are several common symptoms that when left ignored can cause serious health issues, even Cancer. Subtle health symptoms include - constant indigestion and constipation, a tired feeling at all times, pain while urinating, unusual breathlessness and even snoring. While a lot of these health symptoms are mistaken as ‘normal’, it should be noted that any such symptom should be noted, and a doctor should be consulted if the symptom persists.
