(00:00) Cancer bracket infection. What are the two common cancers in men? >> Men most common today is oral cavity cancer. No cancer. Okay. Is there any countig? No. No. No. There is no count. This is not a count. What are the initial signs?
(00:56) Cancer [music] is a chronic disease. The symptom will come out after 10, 15 or 20 years. It's just like so scary even to listen patients losing their hair, radiation patients losing their hair. Is that like really painful process to get cure for the cancer? >> It is both. Yes and no unfortunately. >> Okay. >> Because >> Hello Dr. Hello.
(01:31) How do you explain this to single scientific? Yes. Normal body equilibrium. Okay. Group of cells uncontrolled growth. Blood cancer technically [clears throat] that is true. Okay. But single disease it is not a single entity. So body system there is a change.
(02:21) It is more of a symptom or a manifestation. It's not a single entity like it is not at all a single entity. Unfortunately, bracket it is a group of diseases to make it make people understand each cancer is different. Note lo cancer different, breast lo cancer different, stomach low cancer different, liver lo different, intestines different.
(02:55) So each one behaves in a different way. Today we have gone in depth into its analysis, molecular analysis, gene level analysis. Uh for a layman to understand breast cancer disease >> breast cancer we have five to seven molecular subtypes luminal a luminal B her to positive triple negative stage one luminal a cancer will have the best outcome almost 100% cure.
(03:24) Stage one triple negative cancer 100% cure they'll have only 90 to 95% chance of cure. So only breast cancer treat so many factors are there it is not even cancer. Okay. So cancer treaty treat diabetes
(04:18) The diagnosis is very simple, type one, type two, etc. And more importantly, disturbance. Okay. cells, group of cells, tissues, tumor suppress it will die. So
(05:07) function and duration And they are all managed by these genes. Okay. Tumor suppress. So balance. So currently [laughter] so scary. Yeah. Unfortunately. Yes. Okay. So men but what are the two common cancers in men and women? >> Uh men most common today in India is oral cavity cancer no cancer. >> Okay lung cancers.
(05:52) >> Oral cancer happen for what reason? >> Most commonly tobacco. Tobacco chewing >> tobacco chewing, smoking, any form of tobacco which comes in near your body in any way >> active passive and the exposure it is not good only tobacco causes 19 different types of cancers in your body. Unfortunately, 18 different throat or fairings, nasoparings, skin fairings, larynx, voice box, esophagus, lungs, kidneys, pancreas, many many more.
(06:36) >> It it impacts pancreas also. Yes. >> Pancreatic cancer one of them. It is not that see as I told you before it is an internal change. It is not something that comes from outside. For example, TB it is an infection etc. So risk factors. Okay. So there are two types of risk factors. One is modifiable.
(07:21) Two is nonmodifiable risk factors. Okay. So nonmodif active intelligent organism risk of cancer increases. Okay. >> Okay. Then sex males predispose breast tissue breast thyroid hormonal cancers males prostate kidneys etc. So sex wise then genetic predisposition group of regions
(08:06) non-modifiable changes or hereditary cancers 5 to 10% within family genetic changes these are things which you cannot change. Then comes modifiable risk factors. This is one of the risk factors like uh is there any countig [clears throat] no there is no count this is not a count that doesn't mean you have a freedom to do uh as much as you want because unfortunately as you asked where I started India males law most [clears throat] common cancers first lip and oral cavity Then lung cancers,
(08:51) females, breast cancers and then cervical cancers and uterus lower. Okay, especially these cancers, tobacco plays a major role. Okay, and alcohol >> modifiable risk factors, these two are the top two. >> Okay, >> only alcohol individually causes up to five to six cancers. In addition with smoking, it causes up to 8 to 10.
(09:16) So if a person has both alcohol and smoke inca higher risk >> inca higher risk >> and when you're eating junk with obesity that >> oh that is the third one third most important one in today's time is obesity simple obesity uh is a risk >> risk factor for 13 different type of cancers breast colorctal endometal uterine cancers pancreatic kidney so on and so forth bold as I told you these are modifiable risk factors most important advantage The positive aspect if you look at it is yes smoking alcohol active life if you prevent getting fat
(09:55) or even if you're obese cut down all that your risk of developing cancer goes down. So most common is smoking, alcohol, then obesity, physical inactivity, movement, lack of then other is the infections >> human papilloma virus most common for cervical cancers HPV. Then H pylori, gastric cancers, reflux, G junction cancers of stone type.
(10:19) Then you have hepatitis B, hepatitis C. These two have a risk of I mean chronic infection has a risk of helping liver cancer. So the first most common is oral cancer. [snorts] What are the initial signs? Yeah. So cancer is a chronic disease. >> The symptom will come out after 10, 15 or 20 years. Okay, >> you have abused >> or the person has abused his body for 10, 15, 20 years.
(11:06) Okay. So, smoking, tobacco, oral cancer. This is one of the most preventable cancers and curable cancers. >> Initial signs. >> Initial signs. >> Oral cancer. So once the person is chewing you can obviously clear visible changes okay redness the most important pre ulcerations oralations I'll come to that predisposing factors precancerous lesions 10 years then he'll develop some preancerous lesions and then he may develop cancer some may not be visible direct cancer
(11:52) most common subucus most important is submucous fibrosis mouth opening will reduce >> okay then other thing is lucopopleia and layer of white tissue format this over 5 to 10 years may develop into >> on the teeth plug >> no on the mucosa >> on the mucosa all the mucosa lining gums invisible Especially but the whole point there the issue they will neglect once they have that stigma >> most important thing is they have the stigma they know internally that it will cause something today everyone knows it
(12:36) because we are seeing with every movie on screen there is a warning so everyone knows that they might get it and once they see some changes they're scared to tell because they don't they're addicted to it they don't want to leave it social. So unless it becomes a huge ulcer and then they come finally as you asked very initial symptom even if all this cancer form it is a non-healing answer for more than 2 weeks >> any non-healing painless ulcer weeks directly meet an oncologist especially if you have habits even
(13:16) otherwise habits unfortunately at the belt we are there Every week I operate at least two young patients less than 40 years with no habits. They have tongue cancer. in the >> uh we have to go into depth epidemologically but there are young tongue cancer patients there with uh many of them not having any habits also some predisposing only in that area >> in that area that I don't know if it's an epidemological thing some other genetic thing I really don't know but I think they ended up with >> some yeah cancer some external trigger
(13:53) okay >> so and the most important as I told you two 2 weeks or 3 weeks within 1 month if they come almost 100% chance of cure. So oral ulcer 2 weeks they should directly see an onologist and phase if you get it operated taken out there are 90% chances you >> 90 to 100% chance >> 100% of chances it doesn't come back >> and so this is >> 90 to 100 we'll say because there are some variants as I told you which have a tendency to be aggressive but almost 95 stage one oral cancers less than 2 cm almost 98 to 100% they'll get cured the
(14:31) second most common cancer and I forgot to ask oral cancer screening physical examination that's more than more than >> do we see any initial changes in the normal CBC blood so inflammatory markers WBC nothing no changes it's just a local change which localized change >> uh so in uh if they have the habit it is ideal they get checked up every year or every 6 months depending on the requirement.
(15:07) There are no specific guidelines for that but >> go to a dentist get an oral checkup >> dentist or an oncologist ideal uh so um >> because uh they are well tuned to identify the changes and then warn them be it submucous fibrosis, lucopopleia, ariththropia uh and other changes which may be there.
(15:30) So better be in consultation with an oncologist and continue. But the the whole system the issue is they don't want to expose themselves because they already have the habit of tobacco which they find it difficult [clears throat] to leave. So I think we need a whole ecosystem for that where tobacco you know >> the screening should start from that person itself and now women also started smoking many youngsters also started smoking I don't know where we are heading to uh so men second cancer is lung cancer of course symptoms if it is a lung cancer
(16:03) >> see lung cancer unfortunately you won't there are no specific symptoms for lung cancer you will >> not even difficult in breathing chronic break off >> all that will come but by that time the growth should have been might be quite big or it would have spread or it would have formed uh say some water in it etc etc it depends on the location because lung is a big organ >> okay there's a 2 cm tumor in some corner of the lung they won't know they'll be happily continuing smoking and it'll grow and grow and once it grows 8 cm
(16:34) it'll get stuck to some organ then they'll start having mild pain or if it involves multiple alvoli and so on. Then cough symptoms. Again the same rule applies [snorts] any kind of cough uh more than 2 weeks if it is not subsiding or if you have taken treatment with a permanologist or any other specialist and it has not improved over a month definitely consult a oncologist.
(17:01) If they suspect TB and they've given you TB treatment there is no improvement in symptoms in within a month definitely consult an oncologist. you see blood in your cough directly go to a oncologist. They will definitely get the testing done. The most important thing we need to find out and uh you know rule out is lung cancer.
(17:19) Once that is ruled out the other causes for bleeding can be managed accordingly. The most important part here is we have a wonderful screening technique known as lowdose CT scan. >> Okay. It is not the full dose regular CT scan which has the harms of radiation which we do. So a load of CT scan once a year is advocated for chronic smokers who have more than 10 life years of smoking regular smoking from the age of 40 ideally you start getting a load of CT every year if they can abstain from smoking that is even wonderful but if
(17:52) you start doing this if you're aware at least and if you're still not quitting smoking continue this at least you have a chance of catching the cancer early and then again wonderful cure rates almost 85 90% if you catch it at stage one. >> Okay. So, women breast cancer see breast cancer. I I recently followed this influencer, fitness influencer influencer.
(18:18) Okay. She been taking this protein powder. She eat chicken every single day. And entire set of people because you're taking protein powder chicken women should not lift even she made a real on it. So you tell me unfortunate [laughter] >> I'm so surprised and shocked what causes breast cancer in women populations 20 she I think she's in early 30s mean so what is this breast cancers
(19:05) as I told you the risk factors here so women we are seeing quite a lot of ladies getting breast cancer at an early age >> why did this All of a sudden shift >> it did not happen all of a sudden in 2000 for example you did not have the kind of life Hyderabad was not this what you [snorts] see now over the past 15 20 years the whole systems have changed the lifestyles have changed women >> uh see I'm not trying to blame >> the lifestyle but there are always some after effects or side effects of anything which we do
(19:41) >> okay >> okay so uh to put it simply god made every organ for a function. >> For example, breasts are for feeding. >> Okay. So, this is all risk factors are based on epidemological data. What we have found is people who have uh you know who breastfeed their children >> who don't breastfeed or >> no no who don't breastfeed their children who have children at a late age who have a late minarchy early menopause multiple abortions.
(20:13) These are high risk factors for developing breast cancer. >> Okay. >> So this is all about the exposure of your breast tissue to uh estrogen and progesterone. Okay. Those are the factors which decide whether that person has a risk of one some of the factors not just them. Beyond that today lifestyle plays an important role.
(20:32) again smoking tobacco sorry alcohol consumption a very important factor >> and their lifestyles where you know they not they don't get proper sleep less activity obesity increased intake of ultrarocessed foods >> so all these factors are uh also contribute to uh increase of breast cancers in young women >> and do do you think lot of chemicals on the body >> yes see these are not proven but they are all part of the exposure.
(21:05) See risk factor doesn't mean this one thing will cause cancer. Just because one lady has not breastfed or she did not have children doesn't mean she'll definitely get breast cancer. But it is a risk factor. It'll increase your relative risk is what we say >> compared to a normal person who has breastfed uh her children.
(21:21) This lady did not have children. She may have 1.5 to2 uh rel more risk compared to her. That is a relative risk. So you add on over that have a bad lifestyle have consume alcohol etc etc and this specific lady which you were talking about especially she had a good fit life I believe. Yeah. So these are all people just like to make clickbait and you know try to demonize small small things.
(21:47) >> There is no truth. >> There is no truth in chicken breast cancer. >> No no no nothing like that. This came last year from a study where they studied see uh proven uh risk factor for cancer is red meat that is beef, pork, uh mutton. Mutton also >> yes red meat consumption of more than probably 500 g a week uh is a risk factor.
(22:13) You consume less than 300 or so you're still fine okay a week. So people who consume a lot of that and then processed meat okay in the form of salami, sausages, all these hot dogs >> etc. So all these are they are a proven uh class 2A carcinogen by ARC. So they increase the risk of cancers. So far chicken or any form of poultry they have not been shown to increase this factor.
(22:37) But recently last year they made a big news about someone consuming more than 300 g every day. Yeah, chicken every day and then they saw that they had increased different but that was a very poorly done study lot of critics about this very I mean it was a big population but all the participants they just told what they felt like they ate >> it is not a properly organized study that they made it in a proper way that okay they have weighed and examined the participant can just come and tell oh I had this much chicken today or I had
(23:08) this kind it may be true it may not be true so just based on that they have made the study and just said that okay increased consumption of chicken may increase the risk of some cancers not exclusively breast >> but it is predominantly GI not even breast GI cancers so chicken does not cause breast cancer increased consumption it is a wonderful form of lean protein you can definitely have up to 300 to 400 g every week >> okay that should not be an issue at all eggs not at all protein powders not at all so you can happily consume this very
(23:40) >> nothing nothing nothing at all so all of these do not cause uh cancer or breast cancer. So initial signs and symptoms of u breast cancer what should we be very much >> this is again as I tell you one of the easily identifiable cancers most commonly >> uh especially if you're aware whenever you're taking bath be aware of your breast this thing at least once a week physically what we tell them is self breast examination consciously palpate and feel if you have any lumps and as soon as you see a lump don't think I'm
(24:14) 25 years old I won't have anything please go to a doctor either uh oncologist or a general surgeon today I ask everyone to go to an oncologist because as an oncologist we are always searching for that >> okay >> okay a patient comes to me I'm thinking whether he has cancer or not I'm not thinking other things but if you go to a surgeon he may think he's not tuned to that naturally he's seeing 100 benign conditions >> one of them may be a cancer but I'm seeing 100 cancer patients one of them may be benign so I'll try to rule out so
(24:43) that is what we want to do So that is why it is high time that people because if they are aware >> get the test done and or meet the doctor directly and if it comes negative good for you okay you're very much aware and then they'll tell you what is you have wonderful screening methods mamography uh depending on your risk they will advise you to start at the age of 40 or 50 once a year or once in 3 years 2 years you can get a mamography done which will identify breast cancer at a very early stage again almost 100%
(25:13) curable cancer if it's a stage Okay. Stage one, how many stages we have? Stage one, >> four stages. Usually cancer has four stages. >> Okay. Okay. So if if mother has a history of breast cancer, father has a history of any other cancers. So what are the screening test? First of all, screening by default should they see an oncologist for the >> Yes. Yes, definitely.
(25:39) Especially if they have family history in today's time. uh being aware uh and getting screening tests done is one of the best ways to either prevent or early detect cancer early and get yourself cured of it. >> Okay. >> Okay. That is called a secondary prevention. Primary prevention is when you prevent from forming. Okay. Secondary prevention is when you're early to able to identify it early.
(26:07) So for breast especially you have wonderful screening methods as you asked uh say a lady's mother has breast cancer ideally we first do testing for her genetic testing if she has some specific mutation we then test the mutation in their uh girl >> age group >> mostly at the same age see mother gets uh breast cancer at the age of 65 or 70 it is unlikely to be hereditary but still we are doing today because we have treatments even for all kinds of hereditary most common kind of hereditary breast cancers which is BRCA
(26:39) 1 and two positive we have direct treatments for it. So for all age groups we are doing previously we used to do less than 14 >> when you say all age groups it starts from 18 and above 14 what age? >> Yes. Yes. 18 will no previously less than 40 years if a patient had breast cancer that is the age group we used to do genetic testing above 40 or above 50 we used to avoid >> probably 5 years back or so.
(27:03) Now we do for all breast cancer patients we'll do the genetic testing. Okay. >> So, uh if a mother if a person's mother has breast cancer, ideally get her tested first and if it is positive, then we test the daughter. >> Okay. >> Similarly, father, it depends on the type of cancer. Unfortunately, we don't have specific genetic test for all types of cancers today, but it may develop later.
(27:37) But having an idea of the type of cancer in your family especially close relatives uh it may be either aunt, uncles okay be aware of them and meet an oncologist if you do form fall under the high risk category for the specific cancer either screening or genetic test can be done to identify it early. >> Okay. Okay. Thyroid antibodies I have seen couple of cases cancers cases for them TSH beyond the normal level 100 but thyroid antibodies were alarmingly high.
(28:14) Is it an indication that you should see an oncologist with the blood work itself thyroid? No currently no currently there is no way to when glands are turning cancerous thyroid >> nothing identifiable no because for us see most common thyroid cancer is a well differentiated thyroid cancer in which papillary and follicular cancers come >> so both of them they form up to 90% of the thyroid cancers >> okay >> so in those the specific marker for them is thyogloblin >> this thyoglobin is also done only after removing the gland not before.
(28:54) >> So elevated thyrolyoglobulin does not have any >> correlation correlation with the presence of cancer. >> It may be due to some other reason. Similarly with your autoimmune exactly your antibodies also there has not been found any direct correlation uh with identification or screening for cancer. So we cannot use those tests.
(29:15) But thyroid again is another easily identifiable disease. uh even at [music] 2 or 3 or 4 cm you can clearly see your >> oh we can feel it that's >> feel it you can see have a look in the mirror you can definitely see some swelling immediately meet an oncologist get it tested once it is >> numb you just see an ounce >> 100% today I have seen so many surprises on a daily basis that um past 2 weeks I think I've operated on three patients with uh breast cancers less than 25 >> oh >> okay >> this is So scary >> unfortunately scary very difficult to
(29:52) believe but from what I'm seeing and uh this is not the proven data if you ask me from because we don't have good cancer registries we don't have a way to streamline all the data all over India uh because >> study every case >> no ideally there should be reporting we have made it uh it is officially there that we should report every cancer case that is diagnosed but it doesn't happen commonly in India.
(30:21) So but even in hospital registries for example colorectal cancer is a disease of an old age. It is a western uh cancer more common in the west but in India again it is it is quite common >> and it is it is seen in younger age group. In hospital data it is clearly seen it is 20 years younger than uh western data.
(30:39) Similarly I'm sure if we pick up data for all cancers we have a younger onset. M >> okay these are due to a lot of environmental lifestyle factors I'm sure okay so that is what is happening and that is the reason as over the past 2 3 years I've reduced the age for meeting the doctor I used to say okay if you're not 50 meet someone and then let's see because unless the doctor suspects or is always focusing on trying to find the cancer he may not >> he's seeing 20 patients he may think young girl it is unlikely to be cancer he'll just send for an FNAC and then it
(31:12) may may not come the person who's doing the FNAC may not be a ankopathologist but if you send the same patient uh the patient comes to me then the way I examine and the way I approach my objective is to rule out cancer and once it is ruled out you're again happy just don't be worried always that it will become cancer 90% of the time yes 25year-old with alum will not be cancer >> okay >> but I don't want to miss those 10% >> 10% during the lactation phase galactos develop there are some sort of cyst in the breast. So what are the chances of
(31:45) them turning into cancer? Very highly unlikely. >> It wouldn't turn into cancer thing with even with the family history then wouldn't >> it is unrelated family history. Yes, she might develop. >> Okay. See having fibroidas per se is not a risk factor. No fibroid. Okay. Just a benign lump in the breast will become cancer.
(32:10) Not even a single fibroid will become but removal of fibroid some and repeated formation of these they are a mild relative risk increase compared to general population okay >> so they cause chronic inflammation repeated this thing these are some factors which may increase that doesn't mean they'll definitely develop cancer so you need not worry that if you have a lump that it will become cancer later but based on the features >> uh you'll have to get yourself examine.
(32:38) Okay. Okay. How do we screen? Is there any test e as a general thing? I know it's it's a wrong question. >> No, no, it is a very common question. It is not a wrong question. It is because you're seeing and everyone is afraid of cancer you have and every person I meet they keep asking me doctor and keep messaging me is there a single test will identify unfortunately no today it has not been there is a test which is coming up not yet FDA approved >> uh gallery nadani okay where they're doing only blood tests they are able to
(33:18) test 50 different types of cancer yeah genes or their uh pathways where they're able to identify uh the risk of developing cancers. So they will tell you you have a risk of developing say pancreatic cancer. >> So then you will start getting your uh you may have to get your CT scans done. So they have progressively followed them up and seen that when this has shown it some I I think it is not out it's not yet out that study but somewhere around 80% accuracy they were able to find out that they did develop pancreatic cancer
(33:51) and so on and so >> up to 50 different types of cancer. So in the future yes we will develop uh some system which will identify the changes before just like say uh today suppose you are predisposed to diabetes so get your fast take insulin do your home check if you have insulin resistance this was not a >> right answer diabetes but cancer when we have so many types of varieties exactly that is the reason we don't true that is why we don't have a test straight away >> uh screening tests are available for five different cancers straight away.
(34:26) Breast mamogram, cervix papsmear, colon you have falult blood test and colonoscopies. Lung you have >> less uh specific but it is a way to begin but either a sigmoid or colonoscopy is either you see a polip in the colon what are the chances >> depends on a type of polip. No if it is a hyperlastic or hematamus polip it is okay.
(34:51) If it is a willinoma tubloisedinoma those kinds may very highly likely to develop into cancer. So you'll have [clears throat] to get it removed whether it is solitary or multiple polyp and the location in the colon. So these are the factors which will decide whether they need further screening. But usually even if you have a single polip you will fall under the screening group and repeatedly >> remove it during the colon.
(35:12) >> He will remove and if it is positive be on sequential followup and get colonoscopies done every 3 years. M so and if you have a family history definitely so that is for colctal then you have lung load CT scan and finally prostate that is the only blood test which you can identify before you have cancer see them PSA prostate specific antigen decently >> prostate at at what age it starts >> prostate cancer >> usually 60 >> 60 >> but if you have a family history start uh screening from age 50 >> age 50 okay >> many people don't mention one of my own
(35:47) very close relative. He didn't let me know. >> His own brother had cancer. I didn't know. >> Okay. >> Uh and then finally he came to me. By the time he came to me, he already had lymph nods. Luckily, he was not metastatic. Today he's cured. >> He's fine. But if he had told me he found it at the age of 72, >> his brother had it around 70.
(36:09) >> Okay. But if he would have screened from >> at least 50 or 60 >> we would have identified it at such an early age 100% cure. >> Luckily prostate is one of those cancers where you have a very high cure rate >> and it is a very it is not a life-threatening cancer >> lung cancer pancreatic these are life-threatening cancers.
(36:28) Prostate usually they can be very well controlled. >> Okay. I heard a Japanese oncologist interview in Japan uh cancer is a disease a treatable disease. Japan government every year full body checkup CT M and some blood test after an age of 40 or 35 Japan cancer is totally a treatable disease life. It is a treatable disease that I found very interesting.
(37:03) Is it like a full body MR or a CT? Not really. Yeah. >> So there are two three caveats here. I don't know who the doctor is and what whether he's really if it is true or if they're bluffing. >> Second thing do CT scan is again radiation. You should avoid MRI is fine but you cannot do full body MRIs for all people regularly very costly.
(37:24) >> It is not a cost effective process. See all these screening methods which we are suggesting >> costbenefit analysis is done. Okay. thousands and lacks of patients underwent mamogram under strict randomized control trials and that is when we came and said okay do mamogram correct okay otherwise we don't request that so similar that is how lodo CT scans came etc etc so advising MRI or a full body test is not advisable but today >> see uh cancer is 50% a lifestyle disease so >> oh it's a 50% lifestyle disease >> yes as I told you know modifiable risk
(37:58) factors correct you have many other than these In addition you have ultrarocessed foods, you have all the chemical exposures, you have occupational exposures. So all these pollution, all these form a part of the exposure. >> They may not directly form cancers but you have other metabolic issues also. Diabetes, hypertension, cardiac issues etc.
(38:21) So I today personally would advise people to go for at least metabolic screening and evaluation from the age of 40 30 actually and uh 40 if you still need a healthy life if you are fine but definitely from 40. So you may still get some clues from those and then going on depending on your family history etc you can go further and get tested for cancer.
(38:41) >> The other thing Japan I don't know if uh I don't know the exact population but India in India it is not practical to screen everyone. The government sponsor. >> Yes. Their systems, taxation, everything works. >> Yeah. >> They have wonderful uh gastro screening methods. Their cancers, they identify gastric cancers before stage one.
(39:02) >> Okay. Good. Nice. >> Okay. Stage Tis we call it that is institute cancers. They have wonderful because all our medical gastrologists they go get trained in Japan, Korea and so on. So Asia in that way is very advanced. It is way way better than western medicine instead of us following American guidelines.
(39:21) It's I feel it is a lot better to uh follow Asian, Japan and Korean guidelines in some aspects. In gastric cancer, they have done wonderful advancements. They do advanced surgeries and also they catch gastric cancers early from every patient with dispsia >> by the age of 40. They get a endoscopy done and Haler testing done that is mandatory.
(39:45) They'll all identify less than 1 cm ulcers. They'll do biopsy. They'll do um I forgot what is that chromoscopy. I forgot the name. They do chromendoscopy and identify the changes in the mucosa just by this. By that they identify that there are some changes which are happening. They do biopsies and if they find precancerous lesions, dysplasia, metaplasia, they do submucosal resections before cancer develops.
(40:07) >> Is that true stomach ulcer key major reason is H pylori? No, not only H pylori H pylori is among very common factors located multiple times infection as it it causes an ulcer and start it's a cancer kind of thing. Okay. Okay. Uh so cancer it's just like so scary even to listenc the treatment part itself is so painful when you see this chemo patients losing their hair radiation patients losing their hair injection the treatment and all is that like really painful process
(40:53) to get cure for the cancer >> it is both yes and Unfortunately, >> because as a surgeon, I see lot of patients with early cancers and I treat them and they do get on well. >> Unfortunately, >> uh still 60% of my patients are advanced cancers. Yes, >> they do require other forms of treatment not just surgery that almost 70 to 80% of them do require other treatments but 60% they do primarily require chemotherapy radiotherapy and when it is advanced it is a little difficult because the outcomes are not so great >> chemo radio is advanced treatment
(41:33) >> no let us not put it that way >> because everything has a role for example as I told you that is why I said cancer is not a single cancer key treatment >> general chemotherapy. Correct? >> But blood cancers get cured only with chemotherapy. There's no surgery. There's no radiation there. Only with chemotherapy.
(41:53) And today there is imunotherapy, targeted therapy, wonderful treatments, they get cured. >> Ovarian cancers, testicular cancers, lymphas, leukemas, which are some form of blood cancers >> and some other cancers, they literally melt with chemotherapy. Literally melt. They'll become zero. Unfortunately this fear is spread >> because it is a simple human psychology.
(42:17) It is a simple psychology. How many people after getting treated will take a mic and shout I got cured of cancer. >> How many people unfortunately are suffering will come out in the mic and say oh it is so difficult >> as you know it is zero. Person who gets cured they'll remain silent. They'll remain at home.
(42:36) They don't want anyone to ever know that they got cancer. Unfortunately people who are suffering more they may or may not get cured but who have the difficulties of this chemo radiation they are undergoing uh they will come out they vocally say oh it is so difficult it is so on and so forth I'm not saying that it's an easy treatment it is a difficult uh treatment but today we have wonderful drugs people are going to work after taking chemotherapy and uh getting on with their life and doing wonderful uh things So that is where it comes. The earlier
(43:09) you identify the need for toxic or uh or less toxic treatments is given. The advance more advanced your diseases you may require multiple forms of treatment and more toxic the treatment becomes. That is why it is difficult and sometimes painful. So that is where I would like to say no need to worry about that.
(43:31) Yes, after you identify it, whenever you identify it, there is not much of an op option treat. As simple as that. As I told you, there are five different types of molecular subtypes of cancer. uh luminal a subtype for example cancer patient comes to me >> one to one and a half lakh m treatment >> okay >> uh there is some other say triple positive cancer comes it may take cost him 25 lakhs >> okay >> to get treatment done >> so what is cancer treatment costly >> it depends >> it depends on your type of cancer type
(44:15) of this thing >> even after this much will it get cured if this her two plus or triple positive person comes in stage one he'll get cured If the same person comes in stage four, >> okay, >> it becomes 50/50. So mostly if you think breast cancer treations and unfortunately the most unfortunate part of all this the first thing nowadays I tell all people is even if you have any doubt please meet another
(44:59) oncologist qualified oncologist You take five opinions, I don't mind. That is my final line in all consultation. But please don't take opinion one from your relatives, two from social media. >> Don't take from any Instagram or any YouTube. If you can do your own search, do a Google search, do a charge GPT search, ask your doubts.
(45:18) >> They'll give lot more scientific and better inputs than asking anyone because two days back I came from a patient who had wonderful response with ovarian cancer with treatment. But she became very thin. >> Came to know she was only drinking liquids. >> This is what I'm about to ask. People sell cancer diets.
(45:44) What is a cancer diet? Tell me as a doctor as an oncologist who operated on many patients. Is there anything so-called cancer diet and cancer? There is this keto diet very popular with the cancer. Sugar feed the cancer cells. Is that true? Carb feeds the cancer cells. Is there cancer diet? >> No. >> No. >> No. Simple statement.
(46:10) There is no cancer diet that will cure cancer other than your treatments. >> And where is this coming from? Cancer cell is >> that is see for example if you ask me how cancer develops. >> Okay. How is it forming? Okay, what is cancer? I told you what is cancer? Uncontrolled growth. Then you say what happens? Then I'll I can tell you theory. I am 15 years experienced.
(46:34) I read four years. I did my MCH. I have read at least 2,000 pages books at least four of them to become I have 100 theories. I know the somatic mutation theory to theory which is now there. There is metabolic theory. Then there is clonal regression. I can tell 10 theories. Unfortunately, Instagramber hypothesis or that mitochondrial hypothesis metabolic is just a theory.
(47:13) It is not a proven method which proves all types of cancers. It is one. Okay. Okay. Similarly, cancer the way this thing is seen most common theories that has explained most of the cancers but not everything. Similarly, we found some other theories which may be helpful for some cancers. Okay, so theories we cannot explain all that in an Instagram or a comment.
(47:49) Unfortunately, in social media, no one knows who they are talking to you, who they're talking to. They'll just read something people in doing chemistry, they're doing some PhD in some other science. They'll read some hypothesis and they'll make their own identification. people sitting in lab on a petra dish that does not replicate in a human body.
(48:11) Body is a different biolog type of cancer biological mechanism. So cancer carbohydrates or sugar that is the most common myth which is sugar feeds cancer. Yes, you don't eat sugar uh for a few days and see what happens. Okay, what do you need then? >> You need >> you need sugar. You need glucose. That doesn't mean that is the only way they grow.
(48:42) >> Okay. So directly sugar causing cancer. It has not been proven scientifically. After this hypothesis came, they have tried >> cancer cells. >> Yeah. Actually they have tried other they have tested this directly. So how sugar causes? See it comes in your processed form. >> When you eat burgers, you eat uh these ultrarocessed foods, creams, cakes, in all those sugar comes in different forms.
(49:09) Okay, that when you consume consume lot of them, they cause inflammation, they cause obesity and that is when you have a tendency to form cancer. So from that you cannot just say sugar causes cancer. I can happily take up to 20 g of sugar every day >> without any problem. white sugar everyday up to 20 g if I take one spoon nothing will happen on top of it you are adding 20 g >> no added sugars wh recommendation is up to 20 on a daily basis >> but I see it as a problem because >> it is a problem true no I'm not saying it the reason I'm telling you this is
(49:42) still that is a level which is acceptable >> because suppose I like to take my tea >> sweet you take one teaspoon or two teaspoons of sugar nothing will happen you're not going to develop cancer tomorrow. Even if you have it daily, anything unlimited, uncontrolled. Suppose you take that then obviously you have to you should not take any other processed food.
(50:03) No chocolate, no more drinks, nothing for the day or next few days. So are people following you should like look at it holistically a single product. Coming to carbs, carbs are also a very important fuel. Okay. The main problem comes with is we are not adequately supporting carbs with other >> protein protein and fiber. Most important thing which I see especially in India today we have enough protein pushers all over social media.
(50:32) So I'm not worried about that even if not today tomorrow everyone will take protein but people are forgetting fiber. >> Fiber the exact oh my god you eat lot of protein fiber. >> So everything everything with fiber makes it better. Correct. >> Don't drink a fruit juice. Have a whole fruit. You have fiber.
(50:50) You can still have your sugars and you're still healthy. >> Okay. It is as simple as that. Instead of taking a juice, take a whole fruit. You are taking a healthier option. I'm not saying sugar taking juice will cause cancer or something like that. Some people do like taking it in the form of liquid.
(51:06) Occasionally or time to time you can take it with pulp would be better. So that is how we should people try to nitpick these small things and then make it as if okay sugar causes cancer or some other thing keto diet cures cancer. >> Ah that is a very very big myth. >> Uh the whole keto diet wabber hypothesis uh this metabolic mitochondrial pathway that is one theory >> which has some cohort studies observational studies.
(51:35) It is not a randomized proven study but which formed a theory for a specific type of cancer called as glyobblastoma of an aggressive form of brain cancer. That is where it started. >> Okay. >> Uh but the same thing was tried in pancreatic cancer. It did not work. >> It will not work. Exactly. They tried it. It woric cancer.
(51:57) Of course. Exactly. And uh they have shown that cancer cells have adopted and they have adapted to ketone bodies and they've taken ketone as uh their fuel source of fuel. >> So cancers are way more smarter than all these influencers or the people who promote one kind of diet. So I'm not saying keto diet will not work at all.
(52:19) Yes, it has metabolic benefits. It will work in some patients. Just using it as a blanket statement for curing cancer, no, not at all. Especially avoid it in GI cancers and some other cancers where uh you're not supposed to change some in some patients in some kinds of suppose brain cancers breast cancers you want to follow your overall metabolic metabolism may improve and if it suits you that is well and fine.
(52:44) >> Okay. So chemotherapies and radiation therapy or any cancer treatments common gut issues we see like constipation IBS. So what is your advice someone going through these kind of treatments? How to address the side effects? What is >> that is definitely where you come in and [laughter] all the nutritionists and dietitian do come in? Uh because that is not something where the doctors have the time to handle.
(53:14) >> Uh and patients definitely need to understand that okay they are inevitable. See all chemotherapy drugs they act on fast dividing cells. Okay. So that is why you have hair loss. Okay. Most many chemotherapy because hair loss similarly gut lining lining gut lining mucosal cells they are very fast dividing cells.
(53:46) So definitely those are damaged. So you will develop mucositis naturally you'll have diarrhea and some people the constipation is mostly not directly due to chemotherapy but they give anti-imetics and other drugs with it. So there is a component that causes constipation. So these are some uh in some radiation if you radiate the bubble there'll be mucositis and this thing.
(54:08) So for that they'll have to change their diet in a way where they get unfortunately these are still strong treatments. M >> so you'll have to take good calorie intake. You cannot reduce your calories. Previously if you say you are 60 kes and you required you were want to maintain your this thing you just required 1500 or 1,800 calories.
(54:27) Today you require 2,000 to 2,200 calories. >> More calories than >> yeah you need to increase your calories when you're undergoing chemo or radiation therapy and those increase in calories should 100% be in protein and fiber not in carbs. M >> okay that is where this restricting carb will come will be beneficial because you have to increase the nutritional value of the overall diet.
(54:48) >> Okay so when you give fiber suppose is goal it works both for diarrhea and for constipation it is very soothing to the gut that will help in different timings and concentrations. So they can use those kind of supplements. Overall diet, have plant-based diets, have lots of fruits. Okay? So on and so forth.
(55:07) Increase your soluble fiber. Instead of having the apple diet, peel the apple, peel the uh you know, peach, carrot, cook it, boil it well and then have it or you use some oil and cook it well and then have it. All these are soothing to the gut and also gives you the nutrition. Increases your fiber intake. Get your carbs elsewhere.
(55:27) But increase your protein and fiber in that way these can be uh managed better definitely under a nutritionist guidance. >> Yeah. Sugar and limelight there is this community cancer will get cured otherwise nonvearian itself causes cancer. Do you think what what is your opinion? As I told you, see the problem with social media where these people have become famous.
(56:02) See, every person on earth has have they have beliefs belief system >> and it works in different see there is one dimension of diet which no one talks about the mental dimension. >> Okay. If you really >> I agree onto this 10,000. >> Exactly. Because just to give you an example, my father, he was so mentally strong.
(56:23) He could fast for 17 hours, 18 hours working without eating anything. >> Suddenly the day is there, he'll have six meals or five meals a day. He'll like something, he'll have how much he wants. He's overweight by 2 kg. Suddenly he'll start walking for 2 hours, 3 hours, start doing other exercises and then he just doesn't bother.
(56:39) Only thing he says is today I'm hungry, I'll digest it. >> Okay, >> as simple as that. >> Okay. So what I'm just trying to say that the mental aspect you cannot quantify each individually it varies but that also matters. So person who believes that nonveg will cause some harm >> it might so happen that it will cause harm when he eats nonveg.
(57:00) >> So let us leave that we won't get into the depth. Scientifically talking there is no proof that non-vegetarian when you come to uh normal white meat that is your fish or chicken or any other form of uh protein that doesn't directly cause any harm. The red meat as we already discussed especially the improperly cooked ones and processed ones these are proven carcinogenic potential especially corot colorectile cancer risk.
(57:30) So that is where you should limit and totally avoid processed. Limit the homemade one also and totally avoid the processed meat. Normally need not be stopped. Have egg daily if you can. Especially two of them one of the most proteinrich, nutrientrich and uh extremely bioavailable sources of uh nutrition in our diets. If you can that is wonderful.
(57:52) >> Maybe in some cases their tolerance also. >> Yes. protocol if they can tolerate nonveiki it's very hard to digest also >> exactly when I do gastrointestinal surgeries I avoid for non-vegetarians also I avoid those for at least uh 3 to four weeks >> okay because then they'll have a >> they're very hard to digest >> exactly so at that point of time I still ask them to consume uh egg and all form of lentils okay >> ds okay >> in addition we at that that is the time where we supplement with protein powders medical grade be medical or even whey
(58:26) protein whatever they can they're already used to protein we can directly go with uh whey protein >> uh so alternative therapies ayurvea for cancer homeopathy for cancer I don't want to get into this but still hope that would be encashed by someone else also so as a doctor there is a delay diagnosis already and delayed treatment with scope that do you think these alternative medicines are potential
(59:12) you think integrative approach will work 0% [laughter] so integrative therapies never >> not at all never integrate these at any form of curative possibility. Okay. >> Never integrate these. >> Even in paliation uh we have seen many patients who have worsened unfortunately too many unfortunately too many just 2 days back.
(59:43) Uh one lady came with uh breast cancer. She took homeopathy for 3 months and then she came to me. Uh exactly one month back a person from Orisa came with a huge mouth ulcer. well educated person almost it is coming out of his cheek I asked him what did you do he was taking ayurvea for 3 months unfortunately uh there is no accountability the only thing I asked because to be honest with you I'll be blunt here because this is one place where I have seen these practitioners u cause atrocities whether they really believe it causes or it is just the
(1:00:18) business aspect of it I don't know but anyone who treats ayurveda or with or homeo or tries to treat ayura or I mean cancer with weather home let them be legally liable for improper treatments. Okay. They have spent unfortunately thousands to lakhs also. Goi they are almost they have no money left and then they get treated under different schemes where that 1 lak rupees for example would have given them a lot better treatment options and one even better outcomes probably already
(1:01:03) treat most importantly I told them everyone I I have an explanation. I can tell them this is the percentage. This is the people where the cancer treat and most importantly. So this is a very unscientific way of treating a disease if you can call it which has wonderful treatments today
(1:01:47) non-toxic treatments unfortunately almost 60% advanced cases it is reverse 60% early cancers so once those things change I think but for us unfortunately late bleeding disorders just with adding turmeric, ginger, garlic, turmeric is anticous [laughter] God only knows how much it works. Yes, it may have some benefit when you don't have any cancers. M okay once you
(1:02:32) develop a cancer it is not going to do magicut Second time surgery only we take them for life years for 5 years. You have to follow.
(1:03:18) >> We do follow up all patients declare them cancer scientifically. That is when we declare cancer free. The cancer cured. Cancer happens almost month whatever changes are needed social medach not at all not at all see there are places where we have no option then we tell them you try we don't have any answers We ourselves have sent and they have tried simple I see 100 patients 60 70
(1:04:06) okay [snorts] but I am not telling everyone and saying okay000 By chance or some other reason they do improve for example chain of hospitals it is happening I cannot call it a hospital unfortunately
(1:04:51) punjaya. Yeah. Yeah. It's so bad. It's just market. See cancer treats to 6 months they will have side effects. Treat 6 months to one year they look like a normal person. Treat patients are emotionally disturbed. They are weak. That is when they encash this. Unfortunately, they have made a business out of this different places.
(1:05:40) See, I'm not afraid to say this. There are many paid actors lower economic there are paid actors who don't have cancers and they pay them people are going on the road no nothing they will come and say huh they'll come and say I got treated how do you know who will powerful tool Instagram. >> That is why I'm telling you they should be made accountable.
(1:06:17) Any hospital if they are treating so and so and their outcomes are bad, they should come under a legal perview. If you have if you say we have a ministry of we have a ministry where allopathy also make it legally liable. treat. You should sue the doctor or you should at least ask whether that is a proven treatment and treaty then that is gross negligence cancer patient is different from soya should also come under that negligence
(1:07:02) act when they are claiming that they will treat cancer when they are able to make ads ads treat they should be able to put a legal case over them and find out whether it is scientific whether it is acceptable. >> So cancer I see this caregiver also suffering emotionally major decision takers on behalf of the patient.
(1:07:34) So IBS cancer father cancer they passed away and out of lot of fear also. So what is your message for the caregiver? So what is your message for caregivers who suffer silently? First of all the question is father they passed away immediate what should they do? So oncologist obviously they screen and while emotionally support true.
(1:08:19) So as you said the most person the person who suffers the most probably after the cancer patient is the closest caregiver. Okay. He's he or she is the shock absorber. treat. Sometimes they may be weak, their ideal will be some amount of depression and definitely anxious about their disease. But this person who doesn't have anything has to be strong for his relative constant keep motivating.
(1:08:49) It's a very very difficult job. Suppose he's the only bread earning member of the family. they have to run around manage both very very difficult times. Um yes there are people who fear that parents as I told you only 5 to 10% are hereditary so just because related parentely specific cancer type and if needed genetic testing accordingly.
(1:09:24) Uh second aspect is one of important factors is chronic stress. Okay. So that changes your whole metabolism that may affect you in ways which may lead you to not just cancer or some other metabolic diseases etc and so on. So just like the cancer patient who also needs to express his emotions have find a positive way of expressing their emotions instead of suppressing it.
(1:09:57) >> Correct. So I have few common myths and facts help us to understand. >> So the first question is cancer. So do refined oils cause cancer? >> I think [laughter] see nothing as a single entity causes branding a whole group of uh food as causing cancer is straight away wrong. See why did refine oils form? Because our population is going at such a rapid way that you cannot have just say coldressed oil for the whole population.
(1:10:43) So it doesn't make sense practical sense on Instagram. No, every day you take one to two teaspoon of refined oil. It is not a problem two. >> You should form a habit. That is where you should be clever and you should be smart enough. That is what we call as scientific temper. >> Scientific temper instead of blindly believing you try to analyze anything which you absorb mind.
(1:11:19) There are always two versions of that. Dr. fake check online. Find out if he's a correct person. Check his background and then believe him. Similarly, refined oil, it is not practically a problem. But repeated okay oil fried food unhealthy repeatedly using refined oils it'll cause hCS it'll increase your risk practically using simple tips
(1:12:07) the amount of this thing you use oil and only sauteing don't do fries keep it once a week so amount of oil you use family or family of four per month will use less than 2 three kg or liters of oil. There are guidelines for that for sure. So in that way practically you can still use refined oil it does not if you can happily use coldressed oil definitely better definitely more healthy definitely more options. olive oil.
(1:12:44) Yes, take it. So similar but olive oil then you'll have to go for some sesame seed or some peanut oil, groundut oil. So don't blame one oil as absolutely useless. It has its value but does plastic usage single. What about not at all? See see causing cancer. That is the only way you can cause fear and you can get views on Instagram.
(1:13:21) Okay. Or social media for that matter. Is it proven? There is no study which has proven plastic will cause cancer today. But there is always studies have come out which we did not understand before >> plastic left right and center >> uh but are you sure of the quality of plastic for example we are getting a 20 L big bottle okay which you're carrying home and using it 20 lit for 20 rupees >> again you're getting a bottle of bisceller again for 20 rupees one liter bottle and then you're getting way more companies which you have never heard of
(1:13:57) so you don't know the kind of plastic they have used for the bottle or the cap etc. We most importantly the shedding of plastic into the water is almost negligible. But when you keep it in the heat so you don't know end of the day those microplastics will get into your system >> whether it will tomorrow directly cause cancer. Today it has not been proven.
(1:14:33) M >> there may be some chemicals like styrene they have some group testing. So practical thing is limit your usage as much as in plastic bottle food grade plastic bottle and good stainless steel. Okay, >> that is simple safer alternatives you can happily find. Don't worry about everything plastic.
(1:15:06) But again, don't order something which is not in your control is the Swiggy Zomato orders where they use I'm really scared of >> Yes. Black plastic has been proven you have to check whether it is they say some food because they want to cut the pricing there. These are all risk factors. So try to avoid those as much as possible.
(1:15:32) If you cannot you know order food from I mean cannot avoid ordering food at least you cannot make it zero more than 2.5 chronic lung dises other than smoking >> but you cannot avoid it you have to take precautions >> does wearing sunscreen >> no no Please don't complete that question. [laughter] That is the most absurd thing I have heard.
(1:16:09) Instagram says skinal. So now the industry made a sunscreen just to damage. What do you think of it? See round >> there are lacks not thousands lacks of people who believe earth is flat >> in 2026 >> I don't know >> okay exactly so [laughter] but end of the day people are believing homeopathy
(1:16:54) supplements irregulation especially India even abroad No FDA approved supplement absolutely thousands of patients so even cancer cell carbo clearly it's a randomized study which has proven sunscreen will prevent cancer in some groups of patient Okay. Okay. It is a personal choice. Some aspect of
(1:17:40) it cosmetic. We cannot 100% say only sunscreen. Wear a hat, wear full hand sleeves, okay? Umbrella and cover yourself fully important in addition to sunscreen. Okay. And I am not just me there are many people who are live examples sunscreen you use over years and years definitely the difference in in their skin is seen photoagging other overall pigmentation other advantages cosmetic benefits cancer which dermatologist on a daily basis talks about skin cancer if you go to government hospitals you'll
(1:18:27) see many patients with skin cancers. >> So >> hundreds of patients they don't they don't use any protection skin and they're not so prominent. It is not so common as in the western populations. They did not ban them hormonal endocrine disruptors for it to cause some real damage in
(1:19:13) humans but European filters latest they are wonderful cancer at least chemical issues like any other you know thing you use on your face food labels I have seen few chocolates colors can cause cancer and also Maggie package I don't know if it is real or AI generated it can cause cancer have you seen studies in depth Chad
(1:19:58) Chadwara are there any food ingredients used as additives colors which are categorized >> that is really carinogenic >> a big thing in the US where they have specific red dye or some other color dy labels where people are really worried that okay e color it's a chemical which we are being exposed to >> so they have also been studied animal studies regulation what food regulatory approved level of accept is a little bit more complex because Europeans have different standards Americans have different standards of
(1:20:42) the level of acceptance of this so different levels different countries or continents and that factor may not be only scientifically based recently I've realized that to use that ingredient. So that cut off also is not just scientifically based that the cancer causing or probleming availability or import duties cost of the whole business system logistics food.
(1:21:23) So there are other factors which we may not know. So cancer. Okay. Are there any classification of ingredients which are categorized under carinogens list of ingredient? Can you name few? >> See uh for example the IRC gives you group one, group two and group three carogens. Group one and have definitely proven carcinogens to humans.
(1:21:50) >> Human study. What? Number one comes your tobacco. >> Okay. smoking any form, alcohol in any form. Then you have uh red meats. >> Okay. >> Oh, red meat is also class. It is a proven carcinogen for humans. Then you have as it is just again see a single product a single time does not cause it's all the amount of red meat per again processed meat.
(1:22:19) It's not all red meat as Icessed forms. Yes. sheep it is not a major issue but if you keep on consuming for years together high quantities your colorctal cancer risk may be elevated asbestos and some other >> aluminium aluminium is not [laughter] so aluminum then they move >> Instagram propaganda again >> yeah [laughter] somehow they try to make villain It is there are some safety measures which you have to use where aluminium will not leech into your food.
(1:22:59) When we cook it will obviously gravy paste when it is acidic foods but those quantities is also very minimal. >> Very minimal >> and that getting into your body it usually is it doesn't cause cancer. >> Mhm. Heavy load may go to neur into the neurons. Some neurological issues. Uh nothing related to cancer. No proven directed.
(1:23:29) No >> microwaves. >> No. >> No. >> Microwave is a nonionizing radiation. Treatment ionizing radiation. That is some kind of ionizing radiations. those over the long term depending on the exposure they have have a risk of causing cancer. Okay. But noning radiation microwave none of those are they do not they don't have the energy energy damage that is when you will have a risk of developing cancer non energy radiation.
(1:24:05) >> Okay. So what is this one myth you wish that disappear about cancer? >> Uh directly I don't come across commonly in the south but I've seen it a lot on Instagram. One myth which has to go in today's times scientifically is biopsy doing a biopsy for cancer increases it or causes metastasis spread biopsy. Unfortunately, this is mostly spread by these ayurveda homeopathy and people who do not scientifically who don't know the difference between breast cancer and stomach cancer who don't know the types of breast cancer unless I do a biopsy I
(1:24:46) don't know whether in breast cancer there is breast cancer breast saroma and there is metablastic cancer >> in breast in breast carnoma you have lumin lumin her tuplus triple negative and many more so which homeopathy knows and how he wants to treat each one and what are the outcomes for each kind of cancer.
(1:25:11) So I think that is one myth which should totally go away. >> Okay. Okay. Thank you so much Dr. Rau. It's wonderful to know like everyone else the treatment remains stable for same for everyone. >> No no advances have come today. People should know that they need not worry about the treatments if they're really afraid of chemotherapy.
(1:25:36) There are people who don't need chemotherapy and people who don't want to take chemotherapy have wonderful alternative therapies, imunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormonal therapy and so on which are having equal effects and in future I am very hopeful that chemotherapy may even become obsolete or become so mild >> that it'll become just like an antibiotic which you're taking.
(1:25:56) I'm sure it'll come in the next. >> It's like an early screening importance. That is what they should have that early screening thing. True. So medical negligence like I mean like not medical negligence but negligence awareness health awareness take an insurance and get yourself checked often that is enough.
(1:26:23) It will be like any other disease. People are worried that uh cancer will become the most dreadful disease. It's already becoming among the most highest rated disease all over the world. 2050 it is rate one in three or four persons will have cancer and only >> but I'm sure by that time it'll become like diabetes or today AIDS you never hear about AIDS today >> because uh it has become with tablets they they're living a normal life >> and today last year they came a drug which literally works like a vaccine or technically a single dose is curing the
(1:26:57) patient >> in few years I'm sure it will so happen that they'll take the drug and they're cured of HIV and They won't even have the worry of recurrence. They can live a normal life. They don't need to take care. Probably they can have children and so on and so forth. I'm 100% sure and hopeful that cancer will come to that stage sooner than later.
(1:27:16) >> Thank you. Thank you so much. >> You're welcome.
