Early detection in childhood cancer doesn’t always mean screening every healthy child. 🎗️

For most childhood cancers, routine population-wide screening is not recommended. What matters most is recognising unusual or persistent symptoms and getting them evaluated at the right time.

Parents should remember:

• Notice changes that seem unusual or don’t improve
• Seek medical advice when symptoms persist or repeatedly return
• Early diagnosis begins with awareness, evaluation and timely investigation
• Different childhood cancers can present in different ways and need individual assessment

The goal is not to look for cancer everywhere. It is to make sure concerning changes are not ignored.

A breast lump doesn’t have to hurt to deserve attention. 🎗️

One of the most common signs of breast cancer is a painless lump—but a lump is not the only change women should be aware of.

Watch for:

• A new or persistent breast lump
• Sudden change in the size or shape of one breast
• New breast asymmetry
• Changes in the skin, texture or appearance of the breast
• Any unusual breast change that persists

Don’t wait for pain before seeking medical advice. Knowing what is normal for your breasts makes it easier to recognise when something has changed.

🟡 In cancer care, one missing detail can change the entire treatment plan.

Before choosing a treatment, oncologists look beyond the diagnosis reviewing biomarkers, biopsy findings, cancer stage, previous treatments, medications, allergies and the patient’s overall health.

Because two patients with the same cancer may still need very different treatment approaches.

On World Patient Safety Day, the message is simple: safer cancer care begins with understanding the complete patient story. 💛

Ask. Check. Confirm. Personalise.

Throat cancer isn’t always linked to smoking or to***co. A common virus can also play an important role—HPV.

Certain high-risk types, particularly HPV-16, are strongly associated with cancers of the tonsils and base of the tongue. While most HPV infections clear naturally, persistent infection can sometimes lead to cellular changes over many years.

Important points to remember:

• HPV-related cancers may develop years or even decades after infection
• HPV vaccination helps prevent new infections with cancer-causing HPV types
• Vaccination is about more than cervical cancer—it can help prevent multiple HPV-related cancers
• Awareness, prevention and timely medical evaluation remain important

HPV prevention is cancer prevention. Talk to your doctor about whether HPV vaccination is appropriate for you or your child.

Breast cancer treatment is not the same for every patient—and understanding the stage is an important first step. 🎗️

Breast cancer may be localized or locally advanced, involving the breast and nearby lymph nodes, or metastatic when it has spread to distant organs.

Treatment decisions may involve:

• Surgery
• Chemotherapy
• Radiation therapy
• Other systemic treatments based on the cancer subtype

While the word cancer can bring fear and uncertainty, today’s treatment approach is increasingly stage-specific, evidence-based and personalised.

The right treatment begins with understanding where the disease is and how it behaves.

Grateful for the opportunity to deliver a talk on advances in Head & Neck Cancer at the 9th Annual Year-End Review. 🎙️🔬

The session focused on evolving approaches in diagnosis, treatment planning, systemic therapy and newer treatment strategies, with emphasis on how emerging evidence can guide better clinical decisions.

Always meaningful to share, learn and contribute to conversations that move cancer care forward. ✨

Honoured to be a panelist at the 9th Annual Year-End Review in Head & Neck Cancer. 🎙️✨

It was a valuable opportunity to share the stage with fellow medical oncologists and onco-surgeons, exchanging perspectives on the evolving landscape of head & neck cancer care.

🔬 From emerging research and newer treatment approaches
💡 To real-world clinical experience and multidisciplinary decision-making
🎯 Every discussion centred on one goal — improving patient outcomes.

Academic platforms like these help us translate evolving evidence into more precise, thoughtful and patient-focused cancer care.

If it's cancer, why aren't we removing it immediately?

This is one of the most understandable questions a patient can ask.

But thyroid cancer has taught oncology an important lesson: finding a cancer does not always mean every patient benefits from immediate aggressive treatment.

Some small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancers grow so slowly that carefully monitoring them with ultrasound can be an appropriate option.

That doesn't mean ignoring cancer. It means assessing its risk, behaviour and biology before deciding how much treatment is actually necessary.

The goal of modern cancer care isn't simply to treat more.

It is to treat the right patient, with the right intensity, at the right time.

Breast cancer isn’t only a disease of older women. Young women can be diagnosed too—and awareness matters. 🎗️

Because breast cancer at a younger age may be unexpected, symptoms can sometimes be overlooked or attributed to benign causes.

Important reminders:

• Don’t ignore a new or persistent breast lump
• Watch for changes in breast shape, skin, or ni**le
• Know your family history of breast or ovarian cancer
• Seek medical evaluation for any persistent or unusual breast change
• Some younger patients may benefit from genetic counselling and testing

Being young does not mean being risk-free. Awareness should begin early, because timely evaluation can make a meaningful difference.

🏃‍♀️ Breast cancer treatment may end, but recovery continues—and movement can be an important part of survivorship.

Research consistently links regular physical activity after breast cancer treatment with better long-term health and outcomes.

Key benefits may include:

• Lower risk of breast cancer recurrence and mortality
• Better cardiovascular and metabolic health
• Reduced fatigue and improved quality of life
• Stronger muscles and better bone health
• Improved weight and body-composition management

Current guidelines generally encourage 150–300 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week, along with strength training at least twice weekly, adapted to the individual’s health and recovery.

The goal isn’t extreme exercise. It’s safe, sustainable movement and consistency.

Always discuss your exercise plan with your oncology team, particularly after surgery or when managing treatment-related complications.
