Ovarian cancer is often called the silent disease because its symptoms can be vague or go unnoticed in the early stages.💹🩺

Key risk factors include:

• Age – Women aged 65 and older account for nearly half of all ovarian cancer cases
• Family history – Having an immediate family member (mother, sister, daughter) with ovarian cancer increases your risk
• Medications – Use of estrogen-only hormone therapy after menopause may raise the likelihood
• Obesity – A BMI of 30 or higher is linked to increased risk
• Personal history of other cancers – Especially breast, colorectal, or uterine cancer
• Pregnancy history – Having no children or having a first full-term pregnancy after age 35 can be a contributing factor

NOT all ovarian cancers are the same. There are 3 main types you NEED to know, and understanding them can make a real difference in awareness and early action.

1️⃣ Epithelial ovarian cancer – the most common type, starting on the outer surface of the o***y.
2️⃣ Germ cell ovarian tumors – begin in the cells that form eggs and are more often seen in younger women.
3️⃣ S*x cord-stromal tumors – a rare type that develops in hormone-producing cells and can affect menstrual cycles and hormone levels.

Ovarian cancer is often called the silent disease because symptoms can be subtle and easy to ignore. Learning these basics is a powerful step in listening to your body, trusting your instincts, and seeking medical advice early.

Awareness saves lives. Share this with someone who should know. 🎗️

Treating rare and aggressive cancers is never easy, but teamwork, precision, and unwavering commitment can change outcomes. At Bhailal Amin Cancer Centre, our multidisciplinary approach allowed us to manage a challenging case of primary peritoneal serous carcinoma in a 29-year-old mother.🩺

With chemotherapy, followed by complex cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC, our Surgical Oncology team was able to achieve CC-0 clearance — meaning no visible cancer remained. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do: to give every patient a real fighting chance and to push the boundaries of advanced cancer care.💹

Lung cancer can quietly grow long before symptoms appear, and that’s why awareness is everything.
Damage from smoking, polluted air, or even genetics can cause lung cells to multiply abnormally and spread to other parts of the body.🩺🫁

Your body gives early hints, such as a lingering cough, chest discomfort, breathlessness, coughing up blood, or unexplained weight loss. Please don’t ignore them.🤷‍♂️

Doctors rely on scans and biopsies to diagnose it, followed by treatments like surgery, medicines, radiation, or advanced targeted and immunotherapy options.🎯

Quitting smoking, paying attention to changes, and getting checked early can save lives.
Early detection makes all the difference.💟
