stage 3 pancreatic cancer symptoms :: Article Creator Pancreatic Cancer: Why It's Mostly Silent And Ways To Detect It Early Pancreatic cancer is one of the rarest cancers worldwide. It occurs when the cells in the pancreas, an organ in the abdomen that plays a role in digestion and hormone production, start to grow uncontrollably, forming a tumour. According to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), pancreatic cancer is the 12th most common cancer. In 2022, pancreatic cancer accounted for 5.11 lakh new cases and 4.67 lakh deaths, making it the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, responsible for nearly 5% of all cancer fatalities. A study published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians highlights that pancreatic cancer has one of the poorest prognoses, which could be largely attributed to delayed diagnosis and the silent nature of the disease. Speaking with the OnlyMyHealth team, Dr Krishna Kiran Kannepalli, Surgical Oncol...

tongue cancer :: Article Creator Woman Who Found An Ulcer In Her Mouth Told It Was 'nothing' Before Finding Out Devastating Truth A woman discovered an ulcer in her mouth, only to find out that it was something much worse. Saskia Rogers was 16 at the time, living in Hobart, Tasmania and attending school. One day, she scanned the roof of her mouth in boredom, only to find a strange patch of skin was being brushed by her tongue. At the time, she didn't think much of it, but over time it grew in size, to around the size of a pea. The teen became uneasy with the bump and during an appointment with her GP for an illness, she decided to bring up her ulcer issue. She told him that the 'unusual' lump 'never went away', and while she was told to monitor it, it didn't raise any 'immediate concerns' for her. Saskia Rogers was 16 when she noticed a lump in her mouth (Family Handout) However, just on...

This past June, Mike Seiler was working out with a personal trainer in a local gym, performing moves at age 64 that might prove more challenging for younger people.

test for emphysema diagnosis :: Article Creator Signs And Symptoms Of Emphysema Emphysema is a chronic lung disease that occurs when the air sacs in the lungs (called the alveoli) can no longer inflate and deflate to pump air in and out of the lungs as they should. Many people don't experience symptoms in the early stages, but as the condition progresses, you may experience shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and fatigue. Because the lung damage with emphysema is permanent, symptoms do not improve with time. Your symptoms may also flare up after encountering certain lung irritants or developing a lung infection. Emphysema is also one of the main conditions that make up chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), so it's important to seek care for your symptoms early to lower your risk of complications.
