NO PAIN STILL CANCER?
Many people believe that if a lump doesn't hurt, it can't be cancer. But is that true?
In this informative short, Dr. Ashish Goel, Senior Surgical Oncologist at Action Cancer Hospital, Paschim Vihar and Faith Cancer Clinic, Shalimar Bagh, explains an important fact that can help in the early diagnosis of cancer.
Most early-stage cancers are painless. Whether it's a breast lump, thyroid swelling, soft tissue tumor, or a growth in another organ, these tumors usually do not cause pain initially because they haven't involved nearby nerves.
Pain often develops only when the tumor grows larger and starts invading surrounding tissues or nerves. Unfortunately, this leads many people to ignore a painless lump for months, assuming it is harmless.
If you notice any lump, swelling, or unusual growth anywhere in your body, don't wait for pain to appear. Consult a cancer specialist and get the appropriate investigations, including a biopsy if advised.
The goal is to diagnose cancer in Stage I or Stage II, when treatment is more effective and cure rates are significantly higher.
