Senkatana Oncology Clinic “Cancer Is a Word, Not a Death Sentence - Early Detection Saves Lives”
Help us help each other

Cancer, unlike many other diseases, invokes up deep fear and anxiety in affected individuals and many people are unaware how much can be done to prevent, cure and care for those with cancer. There is enough knowledge to prevent at least one-third of cancers by primary prevention with another third prevented where resources are available by early detection and effective treatment. Therefore, cancer control and prevention strategies include:

• Primary prevention
• Early detection, screening and diagnosis
• Treatment
• Palliative care, support and rehabilitation

The purpose of this page is to provide education/awareness on different cancers along with guidance on services available at Senkatana Oncology Clinic, the 1st of it’s kind in the Mountain Kingdom.

PROSTATE CANCER MYTHS& FACTS:

4. MYTH: Prostate cancer is always curable

FACT: “When prostate cancer is diagnosed early, and the cancer is confined to the prostate, cure rates are high. However, when prostate cancer is diagnosed after it has spread beyond the prostate, then it’s more difficult to cure.”
In general, the sooner the cancer is detected and treated, the better the outcome.

PROSTATE CANCER MYTHS & FACTS:

3. MYTH: PSA testing is not beneficial.

FACT: The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is the best way to test for early-stage prostate cancer.
“There has recently been a lot of controversy surrounding the PSA test. Some believe that it has no benefit and may lead to uncomfortable biopsies. However, this is untrue. It is worthwhile for men to get a PSA in their 40s to determine if they are at risk of prostate cancer in their lifetime. If the PSA is less than one, then it is unlikely that they will have a significant risk for prostate cancer in the year to come.”

Younger men with a family history—a first-degree relative diagnosed with prostate cancer—should strongly consider getting a baseline PSA and getting PSA testing every three to four years. African-American men also have an increased risk of developing prostate cancer and should consider PSA testing at 40 or younger.

PROSTATE CANCER MYTHS & FACTS:

2. Myth: If I don’t feel a tumor, I don’t have prostate cancer.

PROSTATE CANCER MYTHS & FACTS:

1. MYTH: Only elderly men get prostate cancer.

FACT: Many factors contribute to an increased risk for prostate cancers: family history, lifestyle, and overall health.
In general, the older you are, the more likely you are to develop prostate cancer.

Most prostate cancers are diagnosed in elderly men, and the median age of prostate cancer death is 80 years of age. “However, some men are diagnosed in their 40s with clinically significant prostate cancer, but this is uncommon.”

Lung Cancer Myths & Facts:

4. Myth: There isn’t a way to find lung cancer before it starts to cause symptoms.

Truth: Lung cancer screening is available and recommend for people at high risk for the disease.

Cancer screening exams are designed to find small tumors that haven’t started to spread or cause symptoms yet. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends lung cancer screening through an annual low-dose CT scan for people ages 50 to 80 who have a 20 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the last 15 years. Pack-year smoking history equals the number of packs of ci******es smoked per day multiplied by the number of years a person has smoked.

Lung Cancer Myths & Facts:

3. Myth: There’s nothing you can do for advanced lung cancer.

Truth: Effective treatments for advanced lung cancer are now available.

As the American Cancer Society recently reported, lung cancer survival has been increasing since 2009, and lung cancer death rates have fallen drastically over the last 30 years. Advances in treatment, including newly approved immunotherapy and targeted therapy medicines, have helped.
