Prostate cancer patients face a significant problem with their bone health. Hormonal therapy can either cause or exacerbate bone conditions like osteoporosis and osteoopenia. The risk of fractures should be assessed for prostate cancer patients receiving ADT for non-metastatic disease. The most widely recognized method for finding an individual's gamble is with a double energy X-beam absorptiometry (DEXA) sweep to quantify the strength of the bones. Treatment should be given to those who are found to be at a high risk for a fracture. Bone-changing medications that can be utilized in this present circumstance incorporate denosumab (Prolia, Xgeva), zoledronic corrosive (Reclast, Zometa), alendronate (Fosamax), risedronate (Actonel), ibandronate (Boniva), and pamidronate (Aredia). Talk to your doctor about when to take these medications and which is best for you based on your situation because they can have side effects. In patients who do not currently have evidence of bone metastase...

  TYPES Three general categories can be used to classify thyroid carcinoma, namely: Differentiated (includes papillary, follicular and Hurthle cell) (includes papillary, follicular and Hurthle cell) Medullary Thyrotoxic Anaplastic Papillary Cancer The most frequent type of thyroid cancer, accounting for about 80–85% of all reported occurrences, is papillary carcinomas or papillary adenocarcinomas. The follicular cells within the gland are impacted by papillary carcinoma. Usually, one of the two lobes of the gland that spread quite slowly contains it. It could occasionally migrate to the neck lymph nodes. Thyroid Medullary Cancer It is a type of thyroid cancer that develops from C cells found inside the thyroid gland. For the most part, the C cells are in charge of secreting the calcitonin hormone. There are two types of medullary thyroid cancer: familial medullary thyroid cancer and spontaneous (non-inherited, non-genetic) medullary thyroid cancer (genetic, inherited across generat...

M-mode echo, also known as motion-mode echocardiography , is a diagnostic imaging tool used to examine the heart's motion and function. It is a non-invasive technique that uses ultrasound waves to create a visual representation of the heart in motion. M-mode echo is commonly used to evaluate the heart's function in patients with suspected heart disease or cardiac abnormalities. It provides detailed information on the heart's size, shape, and function, including the thickness and movement of the heart's walls, the opening and closing of the heart valves, and the blood flow through the heart.

Chemotherapy is the utilization of medications to annihilate malignant growth cells, ordinarily by holding the disease cells back from developing, separating, and making more cells. Patients with advanced or castration-resistant prostate cancer and newly diagnosed or castration-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer may benefit from chemotherapy. A chemotherapy routine, or timetable, typically comprises a particular number of cycles given over a set timeframe. Prostate cancer is treated with a number of standard medications. Docetaxel (Taxotere) and prednisone are typically the first two medications in standard chemotherapy regimens. Docetaxel, according to recent research, significantly extends the lifespan of individuals with newly diagnosed or castration-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer and prevents the disease from growing and spreading. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has previously been treated with docetaxel can now be treated with Cabazitaxel (Jevtana). M...

Genitourinary Malignancy refers to the characterization of cancer in the urinary system of the human body and the reproduction system of males. Even females also get the disease in their reproductive organs, it is known as gynecologic cancer. Urinary cancer occurs due to abnormal cells growing in the bladder, prostate, kidney, bladder, adrenal gland, or other parts of the urinary system. SYMPTOMS  Blood in the Urine  The Colour of urine is darker than normal Back pain Painful urination  Stomach pain Frequent urination  The following symptoms can be signs of Genitourinary Malignancy. Maybe you can not understand the problem initially, but the disease can spread in a few days. After noticing the problem, you need to visit doctor for further treatment.  TESTS AND TREATMENT  If the doctors can find any type of abnormality in your body, can suggest you biopsy and imaging test. These two method helps to locate the disease and understand the position of the prob...

Arrhythmia surgery refers to a variety of surgical procedures used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, or arrhythmias. The type of surgery used depends on the specific type and severity of the arrhythmia. Here are some of the surgical procedures commonly used to treat arrhythmias: Maze procedure: This is a surgical procedure that creates scar tissue in the heart to interrupt the abnormal electrical signals that cause atrial fibrillation. The procedure involves creating a series of incisions in the heart tissue to form a pattern that forces electrical signals to follow a specific pathway. Catheter ablation: This is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) to deliver radiofrequency energy to the heart tissue. The energy destroys small areas of tissue that are causing abnormal electrical signals, which can help to restore a normal heart rhythm. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) surgery: This is a surgical procedure that involves implanting a s...

  When cells in the prostate gland begin to grow out of control, prostate cancer develops. Only males have a gland called the prostate. It produces a portion of the fluid that makes up semen. The prostate is located in front of the rectum, which is the last part of the intestines. It is below the bladder, which is a hollow organ that stores urine. Doctors use diagnostic tests to find out the cancer's stage, so staging may not be complete until all of the tests are finished.

Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy to cure cancer. Brachytherapy is called  internal radiation. Brachytherapy helps specialists to provide a higher amount of radiation to a specific area of the body and try to damage cancerous cells. Brachytherapy can cause some side effects than traditional beam therapy, in less time Brachytherapy helps to cure cancer. WHY CHOOSE BRACHYTHERAPY Brachytherapy helps to cure various cancers in less time from the core. Following list can be included; Brain cancer Breast cancer Endometrial cancer Esophageal cancer Head and neck cancers Pancreatic cancer Lung cancer Prostate cancer Rectal cancer Skin cancer Eye Cancer Vaginal cancer Soft tissue cancers Brachytherapy can be used in conjunction or alone to treat the cancer. Sometimes for instance Brachytherapy has been used after surgery to damage the remaining cancer cells. With external beam radiation brachytherapy can be used to treat the disease.  RISKS The area treated by brachytherapy...

Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat mitral stenosis, which is a condition in which the mitral valve in the heart becomes narrowed, making it difficult for blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. This can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain. During a BMV procedure, a small incision is made in the groin, and a catheter is threaded through a blood vessel and into the heart. A deflated balloon is then positioned across the narrowed mitral valve and inflated, which widens the opening of the valve, allowing blood to flow more freely. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours to complete. Most patients are able to go home the following day, and recovery time is generally quick, with patients able to return to normal activities within a few days. BMV is considered a safe and effective treatment for mitral stenosis, with high success rates and low complicat...

A protein known as prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, is produced by both benign and cancerous prostate gland cells. The PSA test determines the blood level of PSA. A blood sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis for this test. Typically, the results are expressed as ng/mL (nanograms of PSA per milliliter) of blood. The PSA test was first approved by the FDA in 1986 to monitor the progression of prostate cancer in men who had already been diagnosed with the disease. People with prostate cancer frequently have an elevated PSA level in their blood. The PSA test was approved by the FDA in 1994 to be used with a digital rectal exam (DRE) to help men over 50 detect prostate cancer. Until about 2008, many medical professionals and professional organizations recommended starting a PSA screening every year at age 50 for prostate cancer. In order to assist in determining the nature of the issue, health care providers frequently use PSA testing in conjunction with a DRE in patients who repor...
