Cancer Test Online in Delhi

There are more than 200 cancers. What type of cancer a person has depends on which part of the body or the organ the cancerous growth takes place. Cancer is an illness when a particular type of cells begin to split and grow abnormally and begin to spread to other tissues and organs. They begin to consume all the resources of the body, eventually killing the body, if not controlled and contained. Getting a cancer test done as soon as possible is important to stop the growth of cancer. In most of the cases, cancer is treatable. The key here is detecting it as early as possible, and this happens when a cancer test is done in a timely fashion. There are many factors that can cause cancer including chemical or toxic compound exposure, human genetics, pathogens, and ionizing radiation. Sometimes, even when the cancer has been cured, it is critical that the cancer test is done as advised by the oncologist to make sure that the cancer cells have not metastasized (spread to other parts).

Other terms for cancer are malignant tumors and neoplasms. A defining feature of cancerous growth is the rapid creation of abnormal cells which invades adjoining parts of the body and spreads to the other organs. This process is also called metastasis, which is the primary cause of death from cancer. The most common forms of cancer are lung cancer, breast cancer, colon and rectum cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer and stomach cancer. Cancer can also happen in brain, eyes, mouth and other places. Tobacco consumption and the subsequent mouth cancer is quite common.

In cancer, normal cells are transformed into tumor cells. It is a multistage process. Normally it progresses from a pre-cancerous lesion to a malignant tumor. The progression depends on the affected person’s genetic factors and his or her interaction with three categories of external agents including

Chemical carcinogens such as tobacco smoke, contaminated food, arsenic (often found in contaminated water) and asbestos.
Biological carcinogens such as infection from certain viruses, parasites and bacteria.
Physical carcinogens such as ultraviolet or ionizing radiation.

Prostate cancer is one of the leading cancers in India. It affects men and it is a slow-growing cancer. A timely prostate cancer test can help diagnose the problem early and start the corrective treatment. Time is of great essence when it comes to dealing with cancer. The earlier it is found, the better are the chances of survival. If there is a history of cancer in the family, men by the age of 50 should get their prostate cancer test done to eliminate any chances of having the disease.

Among women it is the breast cancer that is common. Another form of cancer that is common among women is ovarian cancer. For this, a CA125 test or ovarian cancer marker test is highly recommended. A timely test can help diagnose the problem on time and start the treatment. The survival rate among patients who get themselves tested in time is quite high.

There are different signs and symptoms for cancer, depending on which type of cancer it is. Some early signs include

Fatigue and extreme tiredness that doesn’t go away with rest.
Sudden weight loss or weight gain with no apparent reason.
Loss of appetite or trouble swallowing.
Pain in the stomach, nausea, and vomiting.
Unexplained swelling or lumps appearing anywhere in the body.
Tightness or lumps in the best.
Unreasonable pain that doesn’t go away.
Sudden changes in the skin – a mole that changes color or a lump that bleeds or certain parts of skin turning scaly.
Cough and hoarseness that does not go away.
Bruises appear without getting hurt.
Sudden constipation or diarrhea.
Vision and hearing problems.
Ulcers and sores in the mouth.

These are common symptoms and signs, and there can be more such signs based on the place where the cancerous growth is taking place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to get a cancer test done as early as possible?

Often, the outcome of the treatment depends on how less or more the cancer has grown. If the test is done early on, the treatment is started on time and the cancerous growth can be contained. Sometimes the cancerous growth reaches the parts of the body where treatment is not possible. In some families, there is a history of cancer. In such cases, for example, prostate cancer in men, if you have reached or crossed the age of 50, just to be on the safer side, you should get a prostate cancer test done, preferably every two or three years. Similarly, if there is a history of breast cancer or ovarian cancer among women in the family, even when there are no signs, routine checks must be conducted. An ovarian cancer test every 2-3 years is recommended. Other than these, if there are some abnormal symptoms that you cannot make sense of, especially when you feel that you have been exposed to certain carcinogens (chemicals, smoking, alcohol, high-risk food like red meat or exposure to radiation), you should definitely get a cancer test done as soon as possible.

What is the process of getting a cancer test done?

A biopsy is the most common form of cancer test. A routine cancer blood test can also diagnose cancer. An analysis of your urine may also be advised. It is advised that you talk with your doctor or an oncologist for the right cancer test to be done. When it comes to cancer blood tests, you can simply fix up an appointment on our website or through telephone. A phlebotomist will visit your place to draw blood from your arm. The blood sample will then be submitted to our lab and the results will be available to you within a span of 2-3 days.

Can cancer be avoided with lifestyle changes?

Certain cancers can be avoided, although there can be multiple factors that contribute towards a cancerous growth. For example, mouth cancer that mostly happens due to tobacco consumption can be avoided by reducing the intake of tobacco or by completely avoiding it. Many instances of lung cancer can be avoided by quitting smoking. Excessive exposure to sun can trigger skin cancer especially if the person is fair skinned. You can reduce weight and exercise often to get rid of toxins from the body. Eat healthy food. Make sure you don’t expose yourself to radiation. Make sure you don’t drink water with arsenic.

How can I avoid hereditary cancer?

If there is a history of cancer in your family, it is not necessary that you have a 100% chance of getting it. It simply increases the probability. Get a cancer test done every 2-3 years. Remember that the survival rate among patients who get their treatment started early is quite high. You can avoid the difficulties and the dangers of hereditary cancer by getting it detected early and starting the treatment fast.

Is cancer contagious?

Cancer is not contagious. It is not like a virus or bacteria. It is an abnormal growth of your cells when your DNA begins to send wrong signals to the body. It is basically a mismanagement issue. Hence, you cannot transfer cancer to a person nearby.
