The liver serves as an inspection organ. Every nutrient we consume passes through the liver. As every element in your blood stream is filtered here, it fight infections and cleans your blood. The bile produced in the liver helps break bilirubin which is a substance that comes from the breakup of hemoglobin in the dead red blood cells. The liver is the largest organ in your body.

Breast Cancer Surgery and Treatment in India

What is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is a malignant growth that begins in the tissues of the breast. It is one of the most common cancers among women around the world. The chances of a women being diagnosed with the disease sometime during her lifetime is 1 in 8. Therefore, it is important for women to be aware of breast cancer and about breast cancer care.

Studies involving hundreds of thousands of women with history of breast cancer revealed how likely a woman is to be diagnosed with state I breast cancer. Results varied depending upon ethnicity or race. Black women were the least likely to be diagnosed with this condition, while Japanese women were the most likely to be diagnosed with stage I breast cancer. Risk levels of women of Asian descent, Hispanic & non-Hispanic white women fell in the middle risk group. USA alone is estimating about 60,290 cases of breast carcinoma in 2015. Almost 83% of these are likely to be ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) & lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) to be around 12%. These new facts & figures are not meant to discourage, but to provide awareness amongst women to be cautious.

What Causes Breast Cancer?

Most experts agree that it is difficult to say what exactly causes breast cancer. Any woman having breast cancer will not be able to pinpoint & say an exact cause. However certain risk factors are more likely to develop breast cancer than others. What we know for sure is that breast cancers invariably cause damage to a cell's DNA. Some risk factors like consuming alcohol can be avoided while many others are simply a part & parcel of regular living. Though having a risk factor does not in any way mean a woman will have breast cancer, having a family history of breast cancer can be discouraging. Other common risk factors for a woman developing breast cancer include getting older which is 50+ after menopause, having breast lumps, dense breast tissue, estrogen exposure, obesity, taller than average, radiation exposure, HRT - hormone replacement therapy & women with cosmetic implants that may even undermine breast cancer survival.

Risk Factors of Breast Cancer


  • Family history: It increases the risk by two to three folds. Mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2 and p53 results in a very high risk of breast cancer
  • Reproductive factors: Late menopause and late age at first child birth at an old age are amongst the most common risk factors
  • Age: Breast cancer risk increases after a certain age (above 40)
  • Lifestyle related factors: Using oral contraceptives
  • Obesity and heavy drinking

Hip Replacement Surgery India

What is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Also known as Arthroplasty, Hip Replacement is a surgical procedure wherein the diseased part of the hip joint is removed and replaced with the synthetic one. The artificial body part made up of metal is known as prosthesis and the purpose of the hip replacement surgery is to increase mobility, relieving pain and improving the function of your hip joint.

Causes of Hip Replacement

The most common reason that leads to hip replacement is Osteoarthritis, which causes damage to the hip joint. It is most often caused by wear and tear of aging. It makes the cartilage covering the hip joint useless, resulting in soreness and rigidity. Other conditions which lead to hip replacement surgery include rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, osteonecrosis (loss of the blood supply to the thigh bone) and bone tumors.

Procedure of Hip Replacement Surgery

During a traditional hip replacement surgery, which usually lasts for 1 to 2 hours, the surgeon makes a 10 to 12 inch incision is made over the side of the hip through the muscles. The muscles are detached from the hip. Once the joint surface is exposed, the surgeon takes out the diseased bone and cartilage from the hip joint. A cut shaped implant is then attached to the bone of the hip socket. A smooth plastic surface is attached to the implant to allow free movement of the joint.

Thereafter the surgeon reinstates the head of the femur and acetabulum with new artificial parts. A metal stem is inserted into the femur to a depth of about 6 inches. The stem implant is attached to the bone tissue either through cement or without cement. Thereafter a metallic ball is placed on the top of the stem. The new hip is made up of metal that allow natural sliding movement of the joint.

Spine & Spinal Cord Surgery Treatment India

Spine and Spinal Cord Surgery - An overview

The spine is one of the most important and vital parts of the human body. It is made of interlocked vertebras with cushioning discs in between that allow the vertebras to move the upper body around. Each back bone (spine) vertebras have a space in between the bone structure that is aligned in a normal spine. This space (nerve canal) houses the spinal cord that attaches the brain to the various parts of the body through an intricate system of big and small nerves.

Any sort of damage to the spine (vertebras) or the spinal cord (nerve roots) can result in affecting the strength and range of movement of the spinal column. This can be caused due to a disease, disorder or a severe trauma. A break (fracture), or even a crack, in the vertebras (spine) can affect the functioning of the back bone as well as cause pain.

In such a situation the doctor will usually recommend a suitable spine or spinal cord surgery that can help relieve the painful and disabling symptoms.

Before taking a look at the types of spine and spinal cord surgeries, let us take a look at the benefits and possible risks involved in such type of procedure.

Benefits of Spine and Spinal Cord surgery

Usually, a spine or spinal cord surgery is chosen when other non-surgical methods of treatment have failed to successfully treat the painful and disabling symptoms of a spine or spinal cord disease or disorder.

Being aware of the benefits, as well as the possible risks, of a spine or spinal cord surgery can be very helpful in making the right choice of treatment for the patient.

The main aim of a spine and spinal cord surgery is to gain relief from the intense and debilitating back pain which results in affecting your normal daily activities. A spine or spinal cord surgery can give relief from the back pain as well as:

  • Increasing your daily activity level
  • Improving your overall physical fitness
  • Improve your mood
  • Decrease your need for painkillers and thus avoid their resultant side-effects
  • Allows you to resume your work
  • Increase your productivity at work

Spine & Spinal Cord Surgery Treatment India



Spine & Spinal Cord Surgery | Surgery tours India


Kidney Transplantation is basically a surgical intervention which is performed to place a kidney either from a live or deceased donor into a patient whose kidneys do not any longer function properly. Kidneys are organs which remove excessive fluid & waste from blood. When kidneys lose ability to filter, dangerous levels of waste & fluid accumulate within the body. This condition is usually known as end-stage kidney disease or more commonly as kidney failure. Kidney transplantation is most often the best treatment solution for kidney failure. Since a person can comfortably live on a single kidney, only one donated kidney is required in order to replace two failed kidneys & which therefore conveniently makes living-donor kidney transplant a viable option. However, in case a compatible living donor is not available for kidney transplantation, the patient's name is usually placed on a kidney transplantation waiting list so as to receive a kidney from deceased donors. This wait usually takes a few years of time. Moreover, since organ transplantation is generally placed under regulation across the world, each country can be having a different set of laws governing them.

Why Undergo Kidney Transplantation

Kidney transplantation is normally used as treatment for end-stage kidney disease (kidney failure) which is a condition where the patient's kidneys can only function at a fraction of its normal capacity. Generally, people with kidney failure either need to have the wastes removed from blood stream through dialysis or undergo kidney transplantation in order to stay alive.

Causes of End-Stage Kidney Disease

Common causes of kidney failure or end-stage kidney disease include the following.
  • Chronic or uncontrolled high blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Polycystic Kidney Disease
  • Chronic Glomerulonephritis - Inflammation & eventual scarring of tiny filters within the patients kidneys (glomeruli)
Quite often it is possible to manage kidney disease with diet, medication & treatments for underlying causes. However, despite these steps if kidneys still cannot filter adequate blood, such patients may be good candidates for kidney transplantation.

Prostate Cancer

What is Prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer is the cancer of the prostate gland, a gland in the male reproductive system. The prostate secretes a slightly alkaline milky fluid that constitutes 50–75% in volume of the semen. helps neutralize acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging sperm lifespan. Most prostate cancers grow slow but there are cases of aggressive prostate cancers too. The cancer cells may spread (metastasize) from the prostate to other parts of the body, typically the bones and lymph nodes. This type of cancer may have no symptoms initially, but can cause pain, difficulty in passing urinating, problems in sexual intercourse, erectile dysfunction, and death in later stages.

Causes/ Risk Factors of Prostate Cancer: 


The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown; however there are few factors that can increase the risk.
  • Age: The risk of cancer increases as you grow old (above 80).
  • Family history: If a member in your family is diagnosed with prostate cancer you are 2-3 times more likely to get the cancer.
  • Ethnicity: Prostate cancer is more common in black African men than in white or Asian men.
  • Height and weight: Taller men have higher risk than shorter men. Also overweight can increase the risk.
  • Environmental factors, such as cigarette smoking and diet that are high in saturated fat, seem to increase the risk of prostate cancer. Additional substances or toxins in the environment or from industrial sources might also promote the development of prostate cancer, but these have not yet been clearly identified.


Signs And Symptoms 


A high time to look for one of the best cancer hospital of India when these signs and symptoms occur:
  • Trouble urinating (pain when passing urine)
  • Frequent urination
  • A sense of not completely emptying the bladder
  • Blood in the urine and semen
  • Bone pain
  • All of these symptoms can be caused by a variety of things besides prostate cancer, so experiencing any doesn't necessarily mean you have prostate cancer. However, if the symptoms occur frequently then a doctor of a cancer hospital should be consulted.

Prostate Cancer Treatment


What are the Stages of Prostate Cancer? 

  • Stage I - here the cancer is found in the prostate only.
  • Stage II - the cancer is more advanced than in stage I, but has not spread outside the prostate. It is divided into IIA and IIB.
  • Stage III - the cancer has spread beyond the outer layer of the prostate and may have spread to the seminal vesicles.
  • Stage IV - the PSA can be any level, the cancer has spread beyond the seminal vesicles to nearby tissue or organs.


How Prostate Cancer is Diagnosed? 

Prostate cancer is diagnosed at leading cancer hospitals in India through these methods. These can also help to decide the right prostate cancer cure :
  • Digital rectal exam (DRE): It helps detect lumps, asymmetries and the size of the prostate. Although not a perfect test, it becomes useful when combined with the PSA test

  • Prostate specific antigen (PSA): It is a blood test that looks for a protein that the prostate generates. Normal prostate tissue makes a little bit of PSA, but prostate cancer usually makes much more. If your PSA is elevated, your doctor can screen you for prostate cancer. The PSA test isn't perfect either, because some tumors won't elevate the PSA and some other processes (like benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis) can cause it to be falsely elevated. However, the higher your PSA is, the more likely the elevation is caused by a prostate cancer. The cut-off that your doctor usually uses is 4.0ng/ml, (below 4.0ng/ml is normal and anything above it is abnormal). If your PSA is elevated, or you have an abnormal digital rectal exam, then you need to get further evaluation. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that you have prostate cancer. The only way to know for sure whether or not you have cancer is to get a sample of your prostate from a biopsy.
