FAQ's

Common types of cancer usually involve the lungs, breasts, prostate, colorectal, skin, and ovaries. Several factors are considered, including family history and risk factors, to assess an individual’s likelihood of developing cancer. Cancers can be diagnosed early through routine screening, which increases the chances of survival.

General symptoms to look out for that could be signs of cancer include mouth soreness or ulcers, painless and abnormal swelling in lymphatic areas, the unexpected change in mole appearance and bleeding, persistent cough, chronic hoarseness, abnormal bleeding (e.g., post-menopausal bleeding, through the rectum, etc.), loss of weight, and fatigue.

The Apollo Cancer Centre, vizag, provide several treatment options, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, stem cell transplant, CAR T cell therapy, and precision medicine based on patient diagnosis and other factors. With renowned oncologists, advanced techniques, and a multidisciplinary approach, they ensure evidence-based treatments for optimal outcomes.

Oncologists recommend treatment plans for cancer patients based on the characteristics of cancer, your overall health, and personal preferences. In some cases, a multidisciplinary team of specialists reviews the case, discusses it, and recommends treatment plans. These plans are subject to change based on the response to your treatment.

Although general factors are inevitable, certain lifestyle modifications can help in preventing cancer, such as a balanced diet, exercise, limiting or refraining from smoking or alcohol, protecting from sun UV rays, and undergoing routine checkups.

Providing emotional support, assisting them with routine activities, accompanying them to appointments, offering encouragement, being an active listener, and participating in support groups can be effective ways to help your loved ones with cancer.
