    Understanding Cancer

    Cancer is a broad term that refers to not just one but several diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that start dividing uncontrollably and can infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue.

    Cancer can spread quickly throughout the body and is a leading cause of death worldwide. At SGVP Holistic Hospital, we offer early cancer diagnosis followed by the best cancer treatment in Ahmedabad, tailored to suit the individual needs of each patient.

    Causes and Risk Factors of Cancer

    Cancer is a genetic disease, but it does not necessarily mean that it is inherited. The condition develops when the genes that control cell activity undergo changes or mutations.

    This leads to the creation of abnormal cells that divide and multiply, eventually disrupting how the body functions. These cells then form cancer clusters known as tumors.

    There is no single cause of cancer, but certain factors can increase the risk of developing it, including:

    • Family history of cancer
    • Smoking
    • Poor diet
    • Exposure to environmental toxins
    • Hormone therapy
    • Exposure to radiation

    Signs and Symptoms of Cancer

    The symptoms of cancer vary among individuals, depending on the type and stage of the disease.

    Some common symptoms associated with cancer include:

    • Fatigue
    • Lump felt under the skin
    • Weight fluctuations
    • Skin changes
    • Hoarseness
    • Difficulty swallowing
    • Changes in bladder or bowel habits
    • Persistent cough
    • Digestive issues
    • Unexplained joint or muscle pain
    • Unexplained, persistent night sweats or fevers
    • Unexplained bruising or bleeding

    Diagnosis of Cancer

    • SGVP Holistic Hospital comprises the best cancer specialists in Ahmedabad, who help in the early and accurate diagnosis of cancer to start treatment interventions early, which can be life-saving for a cancer patient.

    The doctor will first perform a thorough physical examination of the patient and ask about symptoms, medical history, and family history of cancer.

    The doctor may also recommend undergoing one or more of the following diagnostic tests to confirm the diagnosis of cancer:

    • Blood tests
    • Imaging tests like X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasounds
    • Biopsy
    • Genetic testing for cancer

    Treatment Options for Cancer

    Cancer can be treated using different treatment methods or a combination of treatments. The treatment offered will depend on the patient’s health condition, type and severity of cancer present, and other individual patient factors.

    The common cancer treatment methods include:

    • Surgery: This involves the surgical removal of cancerous tumors that have not spread to other body parts.
    • Chemotherapy: It involves the use of medicines to destroy cancer cells. The medicines can be given orally in pill form or administered intravenously.
    • Radiation therapy: High doses of radiation may be used to kill cancer cells.
    • Immunotherapy: Certain medicines are used to boost the immune system of the patient to fight cancer.
    • Targeted therapy: Medications are used to identify and target specific abnormalities within the cancer cells.
    • Hormone therapy: It involves blocking the cancer-causing hormones.
    • Bone marrow transplant: It involves the replacement of damaged blood stem cells with healthy donor stem cells.
