Cancer types
Short, plain-language guides to warning signs, tests and treatment. If you already have reports, our team can review them for free.
Mouth (oral) cancer starts in the lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, floor of the mouth or palate. It is one of the most common cancers in Uttar Pradesh, largely because of gutka, khaini, paan and smoking. Found early, it is often curable with surgery alone.
Symptoms and treatmentBreast cancer is the most common cancer in Indian women. Many women first notice a painless lump. With timely surgery and the right drug treatment, most women diagnosed early go on to live full lives.
Symptoms and treatmentCervical cancer starts in the cervix, the lower part of the womb. Almost all cases are linked to long-term infection with high-risk HPV. It grows slowly, so regular screening can catch changes before they turn into cancer.
Symptoms and treatmentLung cancer is often mistaken for tuberculosis or a chest infection in India, which delays diagnosis. Smoking is the main cause, but non-smokers also get lung cancer. New targeted and immune therapies have improved outcomes, even in advanced stages.
Symptoms and treatmentBlood cancers include leukaemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. They start in the bone marrow or lymph nodes rather than forming a single lump. Many types respond very well to chemotherapy and targeted drugs, and some are curable.
Symptoms and treatmentColorectal cancer starts in the large bowel (colon) or the rectum. It is increasingly seen in younger adults in India, and bleeding is often wrongly blamed on piles. Surgery cures many patients when the cancer is found before it spreads.
Symptoms and treatmentStomach (gastric) cancer often begins with vague symptoms like indigestion or loss of appetite, so many people reach a doctor late. A timely endoscopy for persistent symptoms is the best way to catch it early, when surgery can cure it.
Symptoms and treatmentOvarian cancer is called a silent cancer because its early signs, like bloating and feeling full quickly, are easy to ignore. Most women are diagnosed at a later stage, yet good surgery combined with chemotherapy controls the disease for many years.
