THE CRUSADE AGAINST CANCER CONTINUES…

INDIAN CANCER SOCIETY The Beacon of Hope Newsletter Date, Issue 4(Jan – Mar 2012) Mumbai Edition

News Letter Editorial Staff:-

Mr. S. Shreeram, COO-ICS & Mr. Raj Kharkar, Executive-Event Mgmt & Prog.Prom.

Dear Friends,

The Indian Cancer Society (ICS) has successfully forged ahead in its crusade against cancer thanks to the ground breaking initiatives

taken by the National Managing Committee (NMC). Successful on-going activities are being contemporised and made more sustainable

and new initiatives are continuously being mooted.

This year marks the 51st

Anniversary of the ICS Rehabilitation & Welfare Services. Through the years, the ICS Rehabilitation Centre has

been a haven for thousands of poor cancer patients from all over India offering them succour, sustenance and vocational training

through its many workshops & giving them gainful employment. We have now embarked upon a program to modernize the workshops,

integrating some of them, installing modern equipment and creating better layout for more efficient functioning. This will not only

improve the quality of vocational training but would also create avenues to introduce new crafts and better products made by the

patients.

For the last 61 years, ICS has been offering “HOPE & SUCCOUR” to all those who suffer from cancer as well as their care givers. We are

determined to create a groundswell of support for the fight against cancer, through a campaign for Awareness and Detection and to

spread a universal message of Hope that cancer can be overcome.

Warm Regards,

Dr.Arun Kurkure

Managing Trustee & Hon. Secretary

Mr.Hari Mundra

Jt. Managing Trustee & Hon. Treasurer

VII. CANCER NEWS

Lung Cancer: The Big Picture Source: WEB MD - http://www.webmd.com/lung-cancer/ss/slideshow-lung-cancer-overview?ecd=wnl_day_011012

Lung cancer is the top cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. But this wasn't

always the case. Prior to the widespread use of mechanical cigarette rollers, lung cancer was

rare. Today, smoking causes nearly nine out of 10 lung cancer deaths, while radon gas,

pollution, and other chemical exposures play a smaller role. Newly-developed drugs provide

new hope for those diagnosed today.

Lung Cancer Symptoms

Lung cancer begins in stealth mode. There are usually no symptoms or warning signs in the

early stages. As it progresses, symptoms are typically non-specific and may include:

• A cough that won't go away. • Coughing up bloody phlegm

• Chest pain, especially during deep breaths • Fatigue

• Wheezing or shortness of breath

Lung Cancer Screening

Can lung cancer be found early? A type of scan called spiral CT has shown promise in picking

up early lung cancers in some people, but it's not clear whether it finds them early enough to

save lives. The National Cancer Institute is currently evaluating the test's usefulness. One

drawback is that spiral CT reveals a lot of harmless abnormalities in the lungs, which can lead

to unnecessary biopsies, worry, and surgeries.

Diagnosing Lung Cancer

In most cases, lung cancer is not suspected until it causes symptoms like a chronic cough or

wheezing. At that point, your doctor will most likely order a chest X-ray and/or other imaging

tests. You may also be asked to cough up phlegm for a sputum test. If either of these tests

suggests the presence of cancer, you'll most likely undergo a biopsy.

Lung Biopsy

If a suspected tumor is visible on an X-ray, or cancer cells show up in a sputum test, a biopsy

is used to confirm the diagnosis. A small sample of the suspicious mass is removed, usually

with a needle, for examination under a microscope. By studying the sample, a pathologist

can determine whether the tumor is lung cancer, and if so, what kind.

Types of Lung Cancer

There are two main types of lung cancer, distinguished by the appearance of the cancer cells

under a microscope. Small-cell lung cancer is the more aggressive of the two, meaning it can

spread quickly to other parts of the body early in the disease. It is strongly tied to cigarette

use and rarely seen in non-smokers. Non-small-cell lung cancer grows more slowly and is

more common, accounting for almost 90% of all lung cancers.

Lung Cancer Stages

Staging is used to describe how far a patient's cancer has spread. There are different systems

for the two main types of lung cancer. Small-cell lung cancer is divided into two stages:

"Limited" means the cancer is confined to one lung and maybe nearby lymph nodes.

"Extensive" means the cancer has spread to the other lung or beyond. Non-small-cell lung

cancer is assigned a stage of one through four, depending on how far it has spread.

Treating Early-Stage Lung Cancer

When non-small-cell lung cancer is found before it spreads beyond one lung, surgery can

sometimes offer a cure. The surgeon may remove the part of the lung that contains the

tumor, or if necessary, an entire lung. Some patients are given radiation therapy and/or

chemotherapy after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells. Surgery is usually not an

option for patients with small-cell lung cancer because it typically has already spread at the

time of diagnosis.

JAN – MAR 2012



Targeted Therapies

Targeted therapies are a newer form of cancer treatment that are often used in combination

with chemotherapy or when other therapies fail. One type prevents the growth of new blood

vessels that feed cancer cells. It has been shown to help people with advanced lung cancer

live longer when given with chemotherapy. Other targeted therapies interrupt the signals

that cause lung cancer cells to multiply, as shown in the highly magnified image here.

Other Risk Factors for Lung Cancer

• A family history of lung cancer.

• Drinking water that's high in arsenic.

Lung cancer does occur in people with no well-known risk factors -- including those who've

never smoked. Researchers don't know the cause yet, but lung cancer in non-smokers

appears to affect more women than men. And one type, adenocarcinoma, is more common

in non-smokers than smokers.
