Episode Topic: What You Should Know About Different Types of Cancer

This week on Cancer Talk, Dr. Kuruvilla focuses on three patient cases, two involving melanoma and one involving neglected prostate cancer, and walks through the workup and management of each.

These real examples highlight how cancer can present in different ways and why early detection is so important. While cancer is more commonly diagnosed after age 50, it can occur much earlier, making self-checks and awareness of changes in your body critical.

The conversation also introduces Motion Management, a new technology recently installed at Kuruvilla Oncology. When treating cancers in areas like the chest, natural movement from breathing can shift tumors significantly, making precision more challenging. This advanced technology helps track and manage that motion, improving treatment accuracy.

More on Motion Management coming soon.
