LiveLifeMore Show on Cancer on FM Rainbow India
Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world, according to WHO, which estimates that 84 million people will die of cancer between 2005 and 2015 without intervention.
Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. A medical professional who practices oncology is an oncologist.
The 3 components which has improved survival in cancer are
1). Prevention – This is by reduction of risk factors like tobacco & alcohol consumption
2). Early Diagnosis – Screening of common cancers and comprehensive diagnosis and staging
3). Treatment – Multimodality management by discussion in tumour board and treatment in a comprehensive cancer centre
Cancers are best managed by discussing in multi-disciplinary tumour boards where medical oncologist, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, pathologist, radiologist and organ specific oncologists meet to find the best possible management for an individual patient considering the physical, social, psychological, emotional and financial status of the patients.
In this show Health Presenter, Dt. Pallavi Jassal discusses various aspects of CANCER, their Prevention, Symptoms, Causes and Treatment Options with a team of Medical Oncologists Dr. Peush Bajpai & Dr. Rajat Saha from Max Superspeciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi.

LiveLifeMore with Type 2 Diabetes
Living with type 2 diabetes doesn’t have to be a struggle. A few lifestyle changes and a dose of good attitude will help you take charge of your health.
In this section, you’ll learn ways to care for yourself every day, from testing your blood sugar to managing stress.
Symptoms
Many people with type 2 diabetes never show any signs in advance. If there are symptoms, they show up slowly.
Common symptoms are when you:
• Urinate a lot
• Feel thirsty often
• Lose weight without trying
• Feel hungry a lot
• Have blurry vision
Other symptoms are when you:
• Feel tingling or numbness in your hands or feet
• Feel tired
• Have very dry skin
• Have sores that heal slowly
• Have frequent infections
• Have erection problems
These symptoms are caused by high blood sugar. Some may seem minor. But if you control your blood sugar now, you may prevent complications from diabetes later.
Impact of Stroke
Every 45 seconds, someone in America has a stroke. Every 3 minutes, someone dies of one.
Stroke killed an estimated 163,538 people in 2001 and is the nation’s third leading cause of death, ranking behind diseases of the heart and all forms of cancer. Stroke is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States.
• In 2004 the estimated direct and indirect cost of stroke is $53.6 billion.
• Each year about 700,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke. About 500,000 are first attacks, and 200,000 are recurrent attacks.
• From 1991 to 2001 the death rate from stroke declined 3.4 percent, but the actual number of stroke deaths rose 7.7 percent.
• Each year about 40,000 more women than men have a stroke. Because women live longer than men, more women than men die of stroke each year. Women accounted for 61.4 percent of U.S. stroke deaths in 2001.
• The 2001 death rates per 100,000 population for stroke were 56.5 for white males and 85.4 for black males; and 54.5 for white females and 73.7 for black females.
• About 4.8 million stroke survivors are alive today.
• In 1999, more than 1.1 million American adults reported difficulty with functional limitations, activities of daily living, etc., resulting from stroke.
• From the early 1970s to early 1990s, the estimated number of non-institutionalized stroke survivors increased from 1.5 to 2.4 million.
• In the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s Framingham Heart Study, among ischemic stroke survivors who were at least 65 years old, these disabilities were observed at six months post-stroke:
– 50 percent had some one-sided paralysis
– 30 percent were unable to walk without some assistance
– 26 percent were dependent in activities of daily living (grooming, eating, bathing, etc)
– 19 percent had aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding the speech of others)
