Heart Attack
 
What is Heart Attack?
 
Heart attack results from blood vessel disease in the heart. Coronary heart disease (CHD), sometimes referred to as coronary after disease (CAD), are general names for heart attack (and angina). A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle itself (the myocardium) is severely reduced or stopped.
 
This occurs when one of the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle) is blocked by an obstruction, such as a blood clot that has formed on plaque due to atherosclerosis. Such an event is sometimes called a coronary thrombosis or coronary occlusion.
 
If the blood supply is cut off drastically or for a long time, muscle cells suffer irreversible injury and die.
 
Disability or death can result, depending on how much heart muscle is damaged. Sometimes a coronary artery temporarily contracts or goes into spasm. When this happens the artery narrows and blood flow to part of the heart muscle decreases or even stops. What causes a spasm is unclear, but it can occur in normal blood vessels as well as vessels partially blocked by atheroscleorosis.
 
If a spasm is severe, a heart attach may result.
 
What are the Symptoms of a Heart Attack?
Sometimes the first indications of a heart attack come as warning signals. The actual diagnosis of a heart attack must be made by a physician who has studied the results of several tests.
 
Besides reviewing a patient's complete medical history and giving a physical examination, a doctor will use an electrocardiogram (ECG) to discover any abnormalities caused by damage to the heart. Sometimes a blood test is used to detect abnormal levels of certain enzymes in the bloodstream.
 
How is a Heart Attack Treated? When a heart attack occurs, it's critical to recognize the signals and respond immediately. Delaying may increase the damage to the heart and reduce the chance of survival. Anyone experiencing the warning signals of a heart attack should be taken immediately to the nearest hospital with 24-hour emergency cardiac care.
 
People who become unconscious before reaching the emergency room may receive emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Most communities have an emergency cardiac care system that can quickly respond.
 
This prompt care for heart attack victims dramatically reduces damage to the heart. In fact, 80 percent of heart attack survivors can return to work within three months.
 
Prompt care for heart attack victims isn't the only reason so many people recover so quickly, but it's an important one. The importance of time cannot be overemphasized. When a coronary artery gets blocked, the heart muscle doesn't die instantaneously - damage increases the longer an artery remains blocked.
 
If a victim gets to an emergency room fast enough a form of reperfusion therapy (called thrombolysis) sometimes can be performed. It involves injecting injecting a thrombolytic (clot-dissolving) agent, such as streptokinase, urokinase or TPA (tissue plasminogen activator), to dissolve a clot in a coronary artery and restore some blood flow.
 
There drugs must be used within a few (usually 1 -3) hours of a heart attack for best effect. The sooner a drug is used, the more effective it's likely to be. In the weeks following a heart attack, either PTCA (balloon angioplasty) or coronary artery bypass surgery may be performed to improve the blood supply to the heart muscle. Once part of the heart muscle dies, its function can't be restored. Function may be restored to areas with decreased blood flow, however.
 
Is There Any Way to Reduce the Chance of a Heart Attack?
Many scientific studies show that certain characteristics increase the risk of coronary heart disease. The four major modifiable risk factors are cigarette / tobacco smoke, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure and physical inactivity.
 
Other contributing risk factors are diabetes mellitus and obesity. The Heart Foundation strongly urges people to control their modifiable risk factors. Also, people with angina should take episodes of chest pain seriously and see their doctor before their atherosclerosis leads to a heart attack. 
 
 
Among heart diseases, which is the No. 1 killer for both men and women in Malaysia, heart attack is the major cause of premature death among men between 45-65 years old, accounting for 40% of premature death in middle- aged men. 

Heart attack (or myocardial infarction) is the interruption of blood supply to a part of the heart, causing heart cells to die. This is most commonly due to blockage of an artery of the heart, following the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque (an unstable collection of cholesterol, fatty acids and white blood cells in the wall of an artery). The resulting restriction in blood supply and oxygen shortage can cause damage or death (infarction) of the heart muscle tissues (myocardium).

Classical symptoms of heart attacks include:

  • Chest pain which is the most common symptom and is often described as a sensation of tightness, pressure, or squeezing. The onset of symptoms is usually gradual, over several minutes, or it may go away and come back;
  • Chest discomfort, with lightheartedness, fainting, sweating, nausea, or shortness of breath; or
  • Sudden chest pain (not so often), typically radiating to the left arm or left side of the neck).

Women may experience fewer typical symptoms than men, most commonly shortness of breath, weakness, a feeling of indigestion, and fatigue. Approximately 25% of all myocardial infractions are "silent", without chest pain or other symptoms. 35% of all acute heart attacks are fatal, with half of these deaths occurring suddenly and within one hour after onset of chest pains.

Heart attack is the major cause of premature death among men between 45-65 years old, accounting for 40% of such death. This is most tragic because of the many unfulfilled obligations and responsibilities of men in this age-group. Heart attack actually kills two times more women than all cancers combined (including breast cancer).

Insurance claims

For the purpose of making a claim under a life insurance policy, the Life Insurance Association of Malaysia (LIAM) defines "heart attack" as the death of a portion of the heart muscle (myocardium) resulting from inadequate blood supply, as evidenced by:

  • a history of typical prolonged chest pain;
  • new electroencephalographic changes resulting from this occurrence;
  • elevation of the cardiac enzyme (CPK-MB) above the generally-accepted normal level.

Diagnosis based on the elevation of Troponin test alone are not considered diagnostic of a heart attack for the purposes of a claim under a life insurance policy. Angina is specifically excluded.

The Heart Foundation of Malaysia Yayasan Jantung Malaysia (YJM) The groundwork for today's solid base began in 1982.
 
The Heart Foundation of Malaysia was established by a small group of dedicated and concerned lay people who were determined to make an impact on the control of heart and blood vessel disease. In the 1960's, deaths in Malaysia were due to communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, typhoid and cholera.
 
Our health system was then developing and our health facilities were inadequate to meet the needs and demands of the population. With the improved standard of living and better understanding, now, there is a control of these diseases.
 
However, more than 20 years later, heart disease death rates and stroke deaths have increased and has become the No. 1 killer. More people are being affected by heart and blood vessel diseases. We believe we can share in the effort to prevent and control the situation.
 
Educating the public by bringing awareness has resulted in encouraging response from the society.
 
Heart and blood vessel disease is our major killer, claiming almost twice as many lives as cancer and accounting for a high percentage of all certified deaths each year. In 1995, 28.2 % of all medically reported deaths in Malaysia were attributed to CVD (cardiovascular diseases).
 
By international standards, this figure does cause a concern for Malaysia. The Heart Foundation of Malaysia is a non-profit and non-governmental organization dedicated to the education of the public on heart and circulatory diseases.
 
We are funded almost entirely by public support from our well-meaning society. In addition, we receive some limited government co-operation for specific projects.
 
The Foundation's heart-health message is direct and effective - enjoy healthy eating, exercise, be smoke-free and check your blood pressure regularly.
 
 
 
 
 
 
HEART FACTS
 
Heart Fact 1 : The incredible human heart
The human heart beats 100 000 times a day. It pumps enough blood in a person’s lifetime to fill 3 supertankers. The coronary arteries are the "fuel lines to the engine” and need to remain open for your heart to keep pumping. When one or more of the major vessels is obstructed for some reason, blood cannot get to the region of the heart muscle downstream of the blockage leading to a heart attack.  
 
Heart Fact 2 : There is a 1 in 3 chance that your first heart attack will also be your LAST.
35% of all acute heart attacks are FATAL. Half of these deaths are SUDDEN and will occur within 1 hour after onset of chest pains. But contrary to popular belief, you will not have warning signs weeks before a heart attack occurs. 70% of heart attacks have NO Warning Symptoms. 
 
Heart Fact 3. Heart disease kills people 45-65 yrs old.  
It is the major cause (40%) of premature death in middle-aged men, which is most tragic because of the many unfulfilled obligations and responsibilities resulting from premature death. 
 
Heart Fact 4: Heart disease actually kills two times more women than all cancers combined. Breast cancer is not the No 1 killer of middle aged women More women die of heart disease than breast cancer and all the other cancers combined. 60% of women think that breast cancer is the greatest threat to their health but only 4% die from it. 
 
Heart Fact 5 Coronary artery disease is due to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which is a slow progressive build-up of cholesterol plaque in the arteries of the heart. Most patients find out that they have heart disease when it is quite advanced. This is due to lack of understanding about how heart disease develops.
 
Heart Fact 6 Most "classic" warning signals of a heart attack
1.Uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.
 
2.Pain that spreads to the shoulders, neck or arms.
 
3.Chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath.
 
Less common warning signs of heart attack:
1.Atypical chest pain, stomach or abdominal pain.
2.Nausea or dizziness (without chest pain).
3.Shortness of breath and difficulty breathing (without chest pain).
4.Unexplained anxiety, weakness or fatigue.
5.Palpitations, cold sweat or paleness.
6.Not all these signs occur in every attack. Sometimes they go away and return. If some occur, get help fast.
 
IF YOU NOTICE ONE OR MORE OF THESE SIGNS IN ANOTHER PERSON, DON'T WAIT. CALL YOUR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES SO THE PERSON CAN GET TO A HOSPITAL RIGHT AWAY.
 
How do I know if a heart attack has occurred?
A physician who studies the results of several tests should be able to make the actual diagnosis of a heart attack. The doctor will
 
1.Review the patient's complete medical history.
2.Give a physical examination.
3.Use an electrocardiogram (E.K.G.) to discover any abnormalities caused by damage to the heart.
4.Sometimes use a blood test to detect abnormal levels of certain enzymes in the bloodstream.
 
Blood tests confirm (or refute) suspicions raised in the early stages of evaluation that may occur in an emergency room, intensive care unit or urgent care setting. These tests are sometimes called heart damage markers or cardiac enzymes.

Heart Basics

What is heart attack?

Heart attacks result from blood vessel disease in the heart. Coronary heart disease (CHD), sometimes referred to as coronary artery disease (CAD), are general names for heart attack (and angina).

A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle itself (the myocardium) is severely reduced or stopped. This occurs when one of the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle) is blocked by an obstruction, such as a blood clot that has formed on plaque due to atherosclerosis. Such an event is sometimes called a coronary thrombosis or coronary occlusion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is angina?

Chest pain called angina pectoris is another result of coronary artery disease. Angina is a symptom of a condition called myocardial schema, which occurs when the heart muscle (myocardium) doesn't get as much blood (hence as much oxygen) as it needs for a given level of work. Lack of blood supply is called ischemia.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is silent ischemia?

Some people have ischemia, which means not enough blood flows to a part of the body's tissue. This occurs when spasm or disease narrows the arteries bringing blood to the heart. As many as three to four million Americans may have ischemia episodes without knowing it. These people have silent ischemia. They may have a heart attack with no prior warning.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the heart's collateral circulation?

Collateral circulation involves small arteries that connect two larger coronary arteries of different segments of the same artery. They provide an alternate route for blood flow to the heart muscle. Everyone has collateral vessels, at least in microscopic form. These vessels aren't open under normal conditions but grow and enlarge in some people with coronary heart disease. When a collateral vessel enlarges, it lets blood flow from an open artery to either adjacent artery or further downstream on the same artery. Myocardial ischemia stimulates the growth of collateral vessels, so they can form a kind of "detour"around a blockage and provide alternate routes of blood flow.

Research has shown that while everyone has collateral vessels, they don't open and become available in all people. People who have open collateral vessels can benefit, because collateral vessels help protect heart muscle from tissue death if the normal blood supply is cut off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are arrhythmias?

Normal cardiac rhythm results from electrical impulses that start in the sinoatrial (SA or sinus) node. They spread in a timely way through the atria to the atrioventricular (AV) node. From there each impulse travels over the many specialized fibers of the His-Purkinje system, distributing the electrical "ignition signal" to the ventricular muscle cells.

The transmission of impulses is delayed a fraction within the AV node. This allows time for the atrial contraction that helps fill the ventricles with blood.

The term arrhythmias refers to any change from this normal sequence of beginning and conducting impulses. Some arrhythmias are so brief (for example, a temporary pause or premature beat) that the overall heart rate isn't greatly affected. However, if arrhythmias last for some time, they may cause the heart rate to be too slow or too fast.

The term bradycardia is used to describe a rate of less than 60 beats per minute. Tachycardia usually refers to a heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is sudden cardiac death (SCD)?

It's the sudden, abrupt loss of heart function (i.e. cardiac arrest) in a person who may or may not have diagnosed heart disease, but in whom the time and mode of death occur unexpectedly. The unexpected nature of the event is the key point in the definition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is a stroke?

Stroke is a form of cardiovascular disease that affects the arteries of the central nervous system. A stroke (or "brain attack") occurs when a blood vessel bringing oxygen and nutrients to the brain bursts or is clogged by a blood clot or some other particle. Because of this rupture or blockage, part of the brain doesn't get the flow of blood it needs. Deprived of oxygen, nerve cells in the affected area of the brain can't function and die within minutes. And when nerve cells can't function, the part of the body controlled by these cells can't function either. The devastating effects of stroke are often permanent because dead brain cells aren't replaced.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is rheumatic heart disease?

Rheumatic heart disease is a condition in which the heart valves are damaged by a disease process that begins with a strep throat (streptococcal infection). If it's not treated, the streptoccocal infection can develop into acute rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disease that can affect many connective tissues of the body  especially those of the heart, the joints, the brain or the skin. When rheumatic fever permanently damages the heart, the damage is called rheumatic heart disease.

People of all ages can develop acute rheumatic fever, but it usually occurs in children 5 years to 15 years old. The resulting rheumatic heart disease can last for life.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is congestive heart failure?

Congestive heart failure is a condition that occurs because the heart muscle is damaged or overworked. This damage can result from high blood pressure, a heart attack, atherosclerosis, a congenital heart defect, heart muscle disease (called cardiomyopathy), rheumatic fever or high blood pressure in the lungs resulting from lung disease. Because it's damaged, the heart lacks the strength to keep blood circulating normally throughout the body. The "failing" heart keeps working but doesn't work as efficiently as it should.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is Kawasaki Disease?

Kawasaki disease (also known as Kawasaki syndrome or mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) is a children's illness. It tends to strike most often under the age of 8. Boys are almost twice as likely to get it as girls; the disease also tends to appear more often among those of Asian ancestry.

Fever, rash, swollen hands and feet, redness of the whites of the eyes, swollen lymph glands in the neck, and irritation and inflammation of the mouth, lips and throat all characterize Kawasaki disease.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is bacterial endocarditis?

Bacterial endocarditis is a serious infection of the heart valves or the tissues lining the heart. It rarely occurs but is a real threat to people with structural abnormalities of heart, artificial (prosthetic) heart valves or people with rheumatic or other acquired heart valve dysfunction. Also, people who've previously had bacterial endocarditis are at risk for getting it again, even when they don't have heart disease

Steps to Better Health

Eating less and /or exercising more? Easier said than done, right? Well you can start by making small changes to your eating and exercise habits. There must be dozens of ways to get into shape.

Here are 18 pointers to get you going:

  1. START NOW!

    For about a week, record everything you eat, how much, when and where, what you were doing when you ate, whom you were with and your mood. Then analyze your record. If you seen any bad habits, start changing them.

  2. GET MOVING

    Make time to exercise for at least 3 times a week for a minimum of 15-30 minutes each time.

  3. LOSE WISELY

    A weight loss of ½ to 1 kg a week is safe. Anything more is not advisable. To lose about ½ kg a week, eat 250 calories less per day and burn off 250 calories of more in exercises.

  4. PARTICIPATE

    Join after-work exercise class or school sports. It's more fun to exercise with family or friends.

  5. EXERCISE REGULARLY

    Make it a part of your daily routine! Take the stairs instead of the lift whenever you can.

  6. WEIGH YOURSELF MONTHLY

    You weight changes daily so weigh yourself only once a month and at the same time of the day.

  7. BE ACTIVE

    Don't just sit around! Take a walk, jog, swim, or cycle. For a change try dancing or doing Calisthenics in time to music.

  8. EAT RIGHT!

    Cut down sweets, facts, and salt. Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

  9. AVOID CRASH DIET!

    Fat diets and diet pills are not recommended for weight loss. In fact quick weight loss is due to loss of water and muscle, not fat

  10. MINIMISE THE MUNCHIES

    Watch out for those bags of ships. You could devour these a whole bag in front of the TV or whilst reading without knowing.

  11. REMOVE TEMPTATION

    Get rid of food from your office and bedroom. Store everything you eat in the kitchen only.

  12. EAT, DRINK, AND BE HEALTHY

    Water is an essential liquid. You need about 8 glasses daily. Drinking a glass before you eat will help make you feel fuller and you may eat less.

  13. ENTERTAIN BUT DON'T BE PLAIN

    Prepare tasty, nutritious and low calorie snacks in place of salty, greasy, and sweet ones. Serve pure fruit juices or soda water.

  14. EAT LESS, EXERCISE MORE

    No single food is fattening but too much of anything can be. Burn off extra calories by exercising. Myth: Exercise won't increase your appetite.

  15. DIETER'S DELIGHT

    Don't give up all your favourite foods. Simply eat less than you usually do. Have two slices of kuih lapis instead of three and cut your cake into eight slices instead of six.

  16. SKIM THE FAT FROM YOUR FOOD

    Choose foods that have been broiled, baked or steamed instead of fried. A baked potato has 80 calories while a packet of French fries has over 200. Replace full cream milk with low fat milk as a drink or a creamer for your favourite beverages.

  17. TASTE AND ENJOY FOOD!

    Chew your food slowly and enjoy every bite. Take smaller servings.

  18. PICK THE WINNING COMBINATION

    Choose a variety of wholesome foods and keep active.
 
Break Your Bad Habits BREAK YOUR BAD HABITS AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF YOUR HEART!
 
Giving up a few bad habits can help you live longer with less risk of heart disease and stroke.
 
World Heart Federation cardiologist, Professor Antonio Bayés de Luna, recommends these antidotes to the most common risks. Eating foods are is high in saturated fats and cholesterol and consuming alcohol regularly If you eat fried foods and red meat regularly, then you're in trouble. Foods that are high in saturated fats and cholesterol raise the level of cholesterol in your blood, increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke.
 
The antidote: Reduce your total fat consumption, especially saturated fats by choosing foods that are less than 5g fat/100g of product and by avoiding foods that are high in cholesterol (e.g. shrimps, liver and eggs). Also reduce your salt consumption, eat five portions of fruit and vegetables every day and increase your consumption of fish. Smoking You smoke light cigarettes (low-tar) because you're convinced that they are less dangerous than normal cigarettes or you don't smoke but you are regularly in a smoke filled environment.
 
Don't think that you're out of trouble! Non-smokers who breathe second-hand smoke suffer many of the diseases of active smokers and have a higher risk of heart disease and stroke than non-smokers. It has been proved that smokers who switch to low-tar brands inhale more deeply and smoke more cigarettes than before, and therefore do not reduce their risk of developing heart disease.
 
The antidote: If you're a smoker, the first thing you have to do is decide whether you really want to quit. Choose your quit date and write it down. Set up your support systems by arranging to quit with a friend and distract yourself by changing your routine.
 
Get rid of all cigarettes, clear out the car, hide all ashtrays and lighters. Smoking is not a habit, it is an addiction to nicotine. Treatments from your doctor or pharmacist can help you to stop smoking.
 
Lack of exercise Lack of physical activity, and therefore a sedentary lifestyle is clearly shown to be a risk factor for heart disease and type II diabetes. The antidote: The heart is a muscle just like any other in our body.
 
Make physical activity a part of your life. Ideally this should include 30 minutes of walking, cycling, gardening, dancing or even housework each day. And if you're fit, you can exercise for longer and with less effort than a person who is not in good condition.
 
Stress and sleep disorders We all experience different degrees of stress in our daily life. But when you feel totally stressed at work or at home and can't fall asleep at night, week after week, it is believed that this may be a factor that puts you at greater risk of a heart attack.
 
Stress-induced hormones put an additional load on your heart and sleep disorders have negative effects on long-term health and can lead to high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and stroke. In many cases, sleep disorders result from stress.
 
The antidote: While learning to meditate can be difficult initially, here's the incentive- 20 minutes of deep meditation can be equal to three hours' sleep. If you can't meditate, then simply relax and breathe!
 
Exercise is also a great tension reliever. World Heart Federation President, Professor Mario Maranhão concludes: "Remember that heart disease is not inevitable, it is largely preventable. Preventive measures are, for the most part straightforward and will reduce the incidence of death and disability due to heart disease. We want people around the globe to hear that message on World Heart Day, on 30th September 2001 and take action."

Heart Disease - Not somebody else's business
 
Risks for heart & blood vessel disease Around 60% of all men and about 45% of all women are overweight or obese. According to the Heart Foundation 1/3 to 1/2 of Australians between 20 and 69 years have higher than recommended blood cholesterol levels. And it is shown in the number of early deaths.
 
In 1996 just over 10,000 people under the age of 70 died of heart and blood vessel disease. A key to a healthy heart and circulation is a balanced eating plan and lifestyle. If you have a balanced eating plan it can help you control three of the modifiable risk factors for heart and blood vessel disease  blood cholesterol levels, obesity and blood pressure.
 
Physical activity and not smoking are also very important to help reduce your risk. A balanced eating plan is one high in carbohydrate from grains, fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fat. Variety and fiber rich foods are also important. The Heart Foundation recommends all adults need to eat 30 grams of fibre each day.
 
In its booklet "Healthy Eating for the Heart" the Foundation says when decreasing saturated fat intake you should look to replace saturated fat with carbohydrates and fibre rich foods: whole grain breakfast cereals, oats, porridge, whole grain bread, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, barley, fruits and vegetables as well as legurnes like kidney, beans, baked beans and lentils.
 
Its worth knowing that the average Australian male eats 26g of fibre per day and the average Australian female eats 20g per day. So we are not far off.
 
We just need a little more fibre each day. Why?
Couple of pieces of research. In 1996 the Journal of the American Medical Association published a study from Harvard School of Public Health which has examined more than 40,000 male health professional over a period of six years. They found that men who ate plenty of fibre had almost half as many heart attacks as men who ate little fibre.
 
The study concluded that "fibre ... is an important dietary component for the prevention of coronary heart disease." Fibre is an important dietary component Most foods in fibre contain both soluble and insoluble fibre, which provide different benefits. Soluble fibre is proven component in helping to lower blood cholesterol. Sources of soluble fibre include grains like oats and barley, legumes, fruits and vegetables. Only last year, the Journal of Nutrition published an analysis of the 12 most important studies on psyllium (a grain high in soluble fibre).
 
The article concluded that people with blood cholesterol problems who ate a psyllium  rich cereal meal each day managed to lower their levels of blood cholesterol by 5% and their levels of LDL (the bad cholesterol) by 9%. Lowering blood cholesterol is vital to our nation.
 
According to the Heart Foundation, 20% of people aged 20  24 have blood cholesterol levels above the recommended maximum of 5.5 mmol/l. This portion rises as we age to 30% in people aged 25  29 to more than 60% of us aged over 60.
 
All these heart health benefits are also helped along by the traditional fibre that we used to call roughage. Insoluble fibre is found in grains like wheat bran, fruits and vegetable like corn. These foods tend to be more filling, delaying hunger and displacing fat from the diet. With obesity playing a major role in heart and blood vessel disease eating foods rich in insoluble fibre is an easy step to help you stay in shape not to mention better regularity.
 
Why eat more fibre?
Eating more fibre rich foods each day will help us all manage our weight, reduce or maintain our blood cholesterol levels and, as the research shows, reduce our risk of heart and blood vessel disease. But remember regular physical activity and not smoking are important to help reduce your risk as well.

Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death

What are arrhythmias

Normal cardiac rhythm result from electrical impulses that start in the sinoatrial (SA or sinus) node. They spread in a timely way through the atria to the atrioventricular (AV) node. From there wach impulse travels over the many speacialized fibers of the His-Purkinje system, distributing the electrical "ignition signal" to the ventricular muscle cells.

The transmission of impulses is delayed a fraction within the AV node. This allows time for the atrial contraction that helps fill the ventricles with blood.

The term arrhythmia refers to any change from this normal sequence of beginning and conducting impulses. Some arryhthmias are so brief (for example, a temporary pause or premature beat) that the overall heart rate isnt greatly afeccted. However, if arrhythmias last some time, they may cause the heart rate to be too slow or too fast.

The term bradycardia is used to decribe a rate of less than 60 beats per minute. Tachycardia usually refers to a heart rate or more than 100 beats per minute.



How does arrhythmias occur?

Cells in the hearts conduction system, from the sinus node down to the outer branches of the His-Purkinje system, can fire automatically and begin electrical activity. Normally, the sinus node contains the hearts most rapidly firing cells. (This allows that area to be a natural pacemaker.) Subsidiary pacemaker elsewhere in the heart provide a " back-up" rhythm when the sinus node doesnt work properly or when the transmission of impulses is blocked somewhere in the conduction system.

Under certain conditions the automatic firing rate of secondary pacemaker tissue may become too fast. It such an abnormal "focus" fires faster than the sinus node, it may take over control of the heart rhythm and produce tachycardia.

Arrythmias also may develop because of abnormalities in how impulses are conducted. Delays in the spreading of impulses can occur anywhere in the conduction system. When the transmission of impulses is intermittently or completely blocked ( heart block), bradycardia may result. In such cases, subsidiary pacemaker cells (located beyond the conduction block) may maintain cardiac rhythm.

In another type of abnormal conduction, impulses get caught in a merry-go-round  like sequence. This process, called reentry is a common cause of tachycardias. Regardless of what cause them, tachycardias may be subclasssified according to where they arise. Thus, ventricular tachycardias originate in the hearts lower chambers. Supraventricular tachycardias arise higher in the heart  either in the upper chambers (atria) or the middle region (AV node or the very beginning portion of the His-Purkinje system).



What are the symptoms arrhythmias ?

Arrhythmias can produce a broad range of symptoms, from barely perceptible to cardiovascular collapse and death. When theyre very brief, arrhythmias are most likely to be almost without symptoms. For example, a single premature beat may be perceived as a "palpitation" or "skipped beat". Premature beats that are frequent or occur in rapid succession during a nonsustained or sustained tachycardia may cause a greater awareness of heart palpitations or a fluttering sensation in the chest or neck.

When arrhythmias last long enough to affect how well the heart works, more serious symptoms may develop. At slower rates, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body. This can cause fatique, lightheaded-ness, loss of consciousness or even death. Death occurs if the heart rate is zero or slow that the heart and brain stop working.

Tachycardias can reduce the hearts ability to pump by interfering with the ventricular chambers ability to properly fill with blood. They do this by reducing the time for such filing or by interfering with the booster effect normally provided by timely contraction of the atria (or both).

Loss of this atrial "kick" during tachycardia may be caused by a change from the usual sequence of atrial and ventricular activity. It also can be caused by rapid chaotic electrical activity in the upper chambers (for example, atrial fibrillation). The reduced pumping efficiency that can develop during tachycardia may be worse by underlying heart muscle abnormalities or atherosclerotic blocks in the coronary arteries. Its not surprising, then, that tachycardias can produce shortness of breath, chest pain, lightheadedness or loss of consciousness.

When the hearts ability to work is greatly reduced for a prolonged time, cardiac arrest and death are likely. This may result from ventricular fibrillation (an extremely rapid, chaotic rhythm during which the heart quivers). If the heart can continue to pump normally, though, some ventricular tachycardia (even those that last for minutes or hours) may be well tolerated without a loss of consciousness or cardiac arrest. Tachycardia may be nonsustained (lasting only seconds) or sustained (lasting for minutes or hours ).

Tachycardias sometimes can cause serious injury to other organ systems. For example, the brain, kidneys, lung or liver may be damaged during prolonged cardiac arrest. Also, blood clots can form in the upper heart chambers as a result of atrial fibrillation. They may break free and cause a stroke or damage other organs.




Who is prone to arrhythmias ?

Although theres great variation in the their severity, arrhythmias occur through the population. On an everyday level, the heart rate speeds up (sinus tachycardia ) during physical activity, stress or excitement, and slows down (sinus bradycardia) during sleep. Even beyond these daily changes, probably everyone at one time or another develops premature atrial or ventricular beats. In fact, during a 24 hour period about one fifth of health adults are likely to have frequent or multiple types of ventricular premature beats. (This even includes short episodes of ventricular tachycardia in a small percentage of monitored people).

The prevalence of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias tends to increase with age, even when theres no overt sign of heart disease. Certain congenital conditions may make a person prone to arrhythmias. For example, an incompletely developed conduction system can cause chronic heart block and braddycardia. On the other hand, people born with extra conduction pathways, either near the AV node or bridging the atria and ventricles, are prone to reentrant supraventricular tachycardias.

Still, acquired heart disease is the most important factor predisposing a person to arrhythmias. The main causes are atherosclerosis, hypertension and inflammatory or degenerative conditions. The scarring or abnormal tissue deposits found with these disease can cause bradycardias : they do this by interfering with the work of the sinus node or overall AV conduction. Likewise, they can cause tachycardias (originating in either the atria or ventricles ) by causing cells to fire abnormally or by creating islands of electrically inert tissue. (Impulses circulate in a reentrant fashion around these areas.

A variety of other factors may predispose a person to develop arrhythmias. Prominent among them is the part of the autonomic nervous system thats involved in cardiovascular regulation. One element of this control system slows the sinus rate and depresses AV nodal conduction. (These effects may prevail during sleep or in athletically well trained people )

The opposing element of the autonomic nervous system tends to speed up the firing rate of the sinus node and other pacemaker tissue in the heart. Further it may also make it easier for reentrant tachycardias to occur.

Many chemical agents may provoke arrhythmias, sometimes with serious consequences. Known factors include high or low blood and tissue concentrations of a variety of minerals, such as potassium, magnesium and calcium.

These play a vital role in starting and conducting normal impulses in the heart. Addictive substances especially alcohol, cigarettes and recreational drugs can provoke arrhythmias as can various cardiac medications.

Even drugs used to treat an arrhythmia may provoke another arrhythmia.

 
 
Inherited Cholesterol Disorder

What is Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Inherited Cholesterol Disorder)?


Familiar Hypercholesterolemia or FH in short is a genetic disorder that is passed from one generation to another. It is a condition where the boy is unable to remove the bad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein or LDL) from the blood.

The problem stems from an abnormal gene that maybe present in one or both parents. When a child inherits an abnormal gene from one parent the condition is called Heterozygous FH. It usually affects 1 in 400 people and if left untreated, can cause coronary artery disease at the age of 40 to 45.

When 2 heterozygotes marry and when one of their children inherit the FH gene from each of them, the child will then have an extreme form of the disorder, known as homozygous FH. This is an extremely rare case and occurs in about 1 in 1 million people. In such cases cholesterol levels maybe as much as 4 times their normal value and if left untreated people with this condition often develop atherosclerosis by their early teens and die from heart attack or sudden death before the age of 20.

How can FH be Detected?

Detecting FH in its early stages is extremely beneficial as it can prevent the atherosclerotic process, which begins in childhood.

In children, FH can be detected while the children is still in the mother's womb by testing the child's blood from umbilical cord. The other option is to test a child's cholesterol level by the age of 2 especially in families with a history of high cholesterol and heart attacks.

In adults, clues to the presence of FH include white rings around the iris, lumps in the tendon on the backs of the hands and ancles and also lump on the knees.

Screening of first-degree relatives (brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and cousins) of FH patients is an extremely effective method in identifying FH at an early stage. When one FH patient is identified many other silence FH sufferers can be detected and this will help diffuse the silently ticking time bombs in families where premature heart attacts are the norm.

DNA testing is the latest diagnostic test that is said to be the most sensitive in identifying FH patients. It can help increase the identification of FH sufferers by another 16.6%.

What are the Risks Associated with FH?

The main risk is death or disability from atherosclerosis, especially of the coronary arteries. This risk is greater than for other types of hyperlipidemia because hypercholesterolemia is more severe and is present throughout life. Apart from this increased risk of coronary disease, individuals with FH are normally in all other aspects.

How is FH Treated?

  1. In Children

    Statins are usually the preferred drugs as they have been very extensively studied and have been proven to be very safe for children according to studies conducted in Belgium. Statins are not only effective in reducing cholesterol levels but are also found to be very safe in children as young as 6 years old

    Drug treatment has to go hand-in-hand with lifestyle modifications like diet and ecercise. It is not possible to be too strict with a child's diet, as they need a wide variety of nutrients. A healthy combination of foods from the various food groups is important to them for their continued growth and development. It is important to avoid fast foods, snacks like chips and chocolate bars and to avoid soft drinks with lots of sugar. Consult a dietician for advice on healthy food choices for your child.
  2. In Adult

    Drug therapy is always prescribed for FH patients, as the blood cholesterol values in these patients are very high. Again statins are the drugs of choice in the treatment of FH as they are highly effective and well tolerated with minimal side effects. Usually a combination of statin-resin drug therapy is used to treat FH patients in order to reach target blood cholesterol values. Sometimes nicotinic acid and fibrates are also prescribed as an addition in resistant cases

    In homozygotes, additional measures maybe required like Plasmapheresis. This consists of removing the blood and returning it after LDL is filtered out. This will help lower the blood cholesterol level. The only drawback to this method of therapy is that it is rather expensive and time cosuming.

    Ileal bypass is a surgical intervention that lowers blood cholesterol and bile acid uptake from the gut. Although the effectiveness of this procedure in lowering the risk of heart attacks is well proven, complications of this procedure such as diarrhea are difficult to live with.

    Liver transplant is another option.

    It is absolutely essential that diet modification and exercise to reduce weight go hand-in-hand with drug treatement. Cut down on animal foods and fatty or oily foods. Eat more wholegrain foods, cereals, legumes, fruits and vegetables. And exercise at least 3 to 4 times a week for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Drug Therapy

There are 4 types of drugs used to treat high cholesterol. They include

Statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors)
Bile acid sequestrants (bile acid resins)
Niacin (nicotinic acid)
Fibric acid derivates
Among them statins are the most commonly prescribed drugs for lowering cholesterol. This is because they have been very extensively studied and have been proven to be very effective in patients with minimal side effects.

  1. Statins

    Statins work quickly by lowering cholesterol within one to two weeks. Cholesterol levels keep dropping until about four to six weeks of treatment. After this point, the levels usually hold steady as long as you stay on the medication. You may need to take statins for a long time to keep your cholesterol levels in check.

    Statins work by interfering directly with the manufacture of cholesterol in the body, specifically by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which the body needs to make cholesterol. With less cholesterol in the body the liver is encouraged to remove more LDL from the bloodstream. As cholesterol in the bloodstream goes down, so too does the risk of clogged blood vessels and heart disease.
  2. Bile Acid Sequesrants / Resins

    Your liver secretes bile acids, which aid digestion by breaking down dietary fats in the intestines. These drugs binds to the bile acids, causing them to be passed with the stool. With fewer bile acids in circulation, the liver is prompted to convert more cholesterol into bile acids(80% of the cholesterol made by the liver is used to make bile) encouraging the removal of LDL from the blood.
  3. Niacin

    Niacin can lower LDL levels in as little as five to seven days. How much cholesterol is reduced depends on the dosage. When combined with bile acid sequestrants, the result can be even lower LDL levels - a reduction of as much as 40% to 60%.
  4. Fibrates

    Lowering triglycerides fats and may also help in raising HDL levels.

What is Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a soft waxy substance found in all your body's cell. Despite all the nasty things that you've heard about cholesterol, you need a certain amount of it to live:- Cholesterol is essential to your body's cell membranes, to the insulation of your nerves, and for the production of certain hormones. It is also used by your liver to make bile acids, which helps in the digestion of food.

Interestingly, the majority of cholesterol in your blood is manufactured by your own body - mainly by your liver - and only 20% comes from the food you consume, especially animal based foods like milk products and meat as well as some cooking oil.

Good and Bad Cholesterol

As cholesterol can't be transported in blood special carries called lipoproteins transport it to and from cells. There are 2 kinds of lipoproteins that you need to be concern about.

  1. LDL (low-density lipoprotein)

    When too much LDL circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the walls of the arteries and can form plaque (thick hard deposits) that can clog up arteries. If a clot forms where the plaque is, oxygen-rich blood flow can be blocked to the heart muscles leading to a heart attack. If the clot blocks the blood flow to part of the brain a strok can manifest. This is why a high level of LDL is reffered to as the bad cholesterol. Lowering LDL levels will help reduce the plaque buildup in your arteries leading to healthier arteries.
  2. HDL (high-density lipoprotein)

    HDL cholesterol is called the good cholesterol because it contains a relatively small amount of cholesterol itself and carries away harmful fatty deposits from cells and tissues to the liver for excretion from the body. This helps prevent the buildup of cholesterol in the walls of your arteries.

Your Cholesterol Reading

Cholesterol readings generally include total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It is important to take note of all 3 readings and not just total cholesterol.

Total Cholesterol [mmol/L (mg/dl)]
Desirable: <5.2 (<200)
Borderline High: 5.2 - 6.2 (200 - 239)
High: >=6.2 (>=240)

LDL Cholesterol [mmol/L (mg/dl)]
Desirable: <3.3 (<130)
Borderline High: 3.3 - 4.1 (130 - 159)
High: >=4.1 (>=160)

HDL Cholesterol [mmol/L (mg/dl)]
Acceptable: >=0.9 (>=35)
Risky: <0.9 (<35)

Triglyceride [mmol/L (mg/dl)]
Desirable: <2.3 (<200)

Newly Diagnosed
 
Hoping for miracle


When you receive news of a cancer diagnosis, you may feel a wide range of emotions. Managing these emotions helps you to go through treatment and adjusting to the possible changes that cancer will bring to your life. Understanding emotions also helps others, especially a caregiver to have a better picture on learning how to help the person with cancer. Often, the patient and their loved ones experience similar feelings. Common feelings for people diagnosed with cancer include:

  • Fear of cancer changing their life and lives of family members. There is also the fear of treatment or death.
  • Sadness and depression from not being able to do certain things they used to do. It could be a mild case of the blues or depression, which is treatable.
  • Anxiety of finances, work, and effects of treatment or how the family will adapt.
  • Anger towards having cancer as it has interrupted your life’s plans. You may even be angry with family, friends, doctors, nurses or your God (if you believe in one).
  • Loneliness of not being able to join others for activities. You may feel lonely if friends or family have a hard time dealing with cancer and will not visit you.
  • Loneliness if you are unable to share feelings with people who matter
  • Loss of control. Learning about cancer and its treatment helps you look after yourself and give you back some feeling of control.
  • Hope as chances of surviving cancer are brighter in present time.
  • Guilt for needing people to care for them.
  • Fear of cancer recurring.


There will be changes in the life of a cancer patient; physically, psychologically, socially and even spiritually. When diagnosed with cancer, most patients tend to ask, "why me?” and begin to have thoughts of being punished by God, being weak in their faith or similar thoughts. People have shared that their faith and religious beliefs are renewed but for some, their faith may be shaken. However, those with strong belief systems often cope better in dealing with cancer.

In Malaysia, spirituality is often thought of as being the same as religion. Religion often has its own belief systems, rituals and teachings that serve as a guide to life. Spirituality revolves around the value of life, purpose and meaning, the past, present and future. You may think about your self worth, either being content with all you have achieved or have regrets or think of missed opportunities. You may feel that cancer has made you a burden for others or feel that family and loved ones have a duty to care for you.

Seeking contentment in the present is an important aspect of spirituality. You may choose to engage in activities, think peaceful thoughts or meditate in order to find solace. At the same time, many patients think of death although they have a high chance of recovery. To live well in the face of cancer, the determination of seeking life and beating death can encourage you to fight on. Cancer patients do think about the legacy they want to leave behind, even the manner of passing.

Spirituality is not often discussed as people are usually unsure of what to say but openness in a relationship helps to make dialogue easier. Here are some questions that can start you in seeking spirituality:

  • What are the most important aspects of my life?
  • What do I cherish most?
  • What do I enjoy doing?
  • Does religion mean anything to me?
  • How does faith help me?
  • What are my aims in life?
  • What do I want to achieve in the time I have left?
  • How do I want to be remembered?

For many in Malaysia, cancer is often detected at an advanced stage for various reasons and for them, decision and choices could be a confusing experience. They often seek all kinds of ways of treatment, hoping for a miracle recovery.

Words of a doctor, oncologist, surgeon or physician may be very difficult to accept. In addition to the news, rounds of tests and treatment that may cause significant side effects, and do not promise a certain cure makes the situation more difficult. Second and several more opinions may be sought, with a hope that someone will give the promise of a cure. Many times, a patient may not reflect on the situation and their options because anxiety will take over their thoughts and feelings.

Many people feel a loss of control and will need optimism and hope. The search for a miracle then occurs. They will begin listening to friends and loved ones who know someone who was cured with treatment X or seeing a miracle healer. There will be stories in the media and people who claim that they are able to cure all cancer and other diseases as well. Many Malaysian cancer patients change their diet, medication, undergo treatment involving impressive machines or making trips to foreign lands to look for a cure. Some will believe that faith and religiosity enhances the making of a ‘miracle’. The evidence however suggests that spirituality enhances the ability to cope rather than influence the outcome of cancer.

Many patients feel that alternative treatments will provide a miracle as they may feel less confident with response from conventional doctors and after all, there seems to be nothing to lose. Yet, these cures do have a stake. It may be money, time, effort and side effects of the purported treatment. It gives hope yet it may also crush them and in doing so lost opportunities and regrets follow. Quality of life and living life to the fullest may be sacrificed. Loved ones will stand by the patient to console them but many times, patients may just pretend to feel better in front of others.

There is probably no denying a need to believe in a miracle, but it often needs to be thought of as hopes and wishes. Hence, be practical in making decisions.

Before you undergo any form of alternative treatment, ask yourself these questions:

  • What alternative treatments are available and how does it help in improving my condition?
  • How would l know if the treatment works?
  • What are the costs of the treatment- in terms of finances? What would I have to give up?
  • Where do I go and whom do I ask for more information?
  • Who should I listen to and can I trust the person (s)?

Listen and clarify all options available. Do ask lots of questions both to yourself and also reflect on the importance of such questions. Whilst it may be helpful to keep believing that cure is possible, it is more hopeful and achievable to attain a good quality of life free of pain and other symptoms, and live a life of continued meaning, with or without cancer.

How Aerobic Exercise Can Speed Up Your Fatloss!
 
There are many key factors you have to ensure you follow on a regular basis to lose weight. You have to follow a really good diet, get enough rest, and perform some type of weight training to increase your muscle so you also get stronger. But there is also one more thing you can do to speed up your fatloss, and that's..... Doing Aerobic Exercise!! AEROBIC EXERCISE!! Aerobic exercise is exercise such as running, cycling, swimming, etc. Weightlifting or weight training is considered to be an-aerobic exercise.
 
If you're trying to lose weight, you should be doing aerobic exercise 3-4 times per week for 30 minutes per session. The first thing you must do though, when starting to do aerobic exercise is to figure out your maximum heart rate.
 
Here's how to do it: The calculation for determining your maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. So if you're 30 years old, the calculation is as follows: 220 - 30 = 190 maximum heart rate As you get older, your maximum heart rate gets lower. Remember, this calculation is not set in stone.
 
It is a rough average. When I was 20, I got my heart rate up to 205-206 beats per minute while I was climbing a 15% hill for a kilometer on my racing bicycle. My maximum heart rate should have been 200, so you can see this calculation is just an estimate. So using the 30 year old in our example who's maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute, we need to make sure that person is doing aerobic exercise at 65-70% of his maximum for best results. We calculate this as follows: 190 x 0.65 = 123.5 beats per minute at 65% So after an initial warm-up of 5 minutes on the stationary bike (or other exercise you choose), make sure your heart rate is above 123.5 beats per minute for the other 20 minutes, before you warm down.
 
You can check your heart rate by a couple of methods.You place your index finger while you're doing your aerobics on the artery on your neck. While you do this, count the beats over a 15 second span (look at you watch).
 
Multiply the number of beats over 15 seconds by 4 to get a beat per minute figure. Using our example again, we check our pulse and notice 30 beats over 15 seconds.
 
We multiply this by 4 and we arrive at 120 beats per minute. We see that this is lower than 123.5 beats so we start pedaling a little bit faster and check the heart rate again in a few minutes. Pretty soon, you'll figure out how fast and hard you have to pedal to stay between 65-70% of your maximum. Warm up for 5 minutes, stay in you 65-70% target zone for 20 minutes, then cool down for the last 5 minutes and you're done.
 
Now, I would suggest you perform the aerobic exercise first thing in the morning as soon as you get up before you eat. Your body has been fasting while you sleep and it may have been 8-12 hours since you last ate. This is the best time to do aerobic exercise, because you will burn more fat and get better results. But, if you can't do the aerobic exercise at night, no problem. The main thing and most important thing is THAT YOU DO IT. Even if it's late at night.
 
Once you get down to the body fat level you want, cut that back to 2-3 times per week 20-30 minutes each, mainly for cardiovascular exercise for your heart, not so much for the calorie burning benefits. Good luck with all you fatloss & fitness goals.!

About Cancer
 

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. When these genes grow or multiply abnormally and grow into a lump (tumour), it becomes cancer. Cancer grows out of normal cells in the body. Normal cells multiply when the body needs them, and die when the body doesn’t need them. Cancer appears to occur when the growth of cells in the body is out of control and cells divide too quickly. It can also occur when cells forget how to die.


Types of children’s cancer

 

Leukemia is a cancer of blood-forming cells in the bone marrow. The immature cells accumulate in the blood and within organs of the body so they are not able to carry out the normal functions of blood cells. Therefore these sick cells replace the healthy cells and stop your body from working normally. It is the most common form of cancer in children. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in the immune system cells called lymphocytes. There are two types of lymphoma: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL, also called Hodgkin’s disease) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). These malignant cells often originate in lymph nodes, presenting as an enlargement of the node (a tumor). It can also affect other organs in which case it is referred to as extranodal lymphoma.
A brain tumor is a group (mass) of abnormal or uncontrolled growth of cells that start in the brain. Tumors in the brain are categorized according to several factors, including where they’re located, the type of cells involved, and how quickly they’re growing. Brain tumors can directly destroy brain cells. It is the most common solid tumors in children. For the example Brainstem gliomas occur almost only in children. Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer in children. Osteosarcoma occurs most commonly in the bones around the knee. The arm bone near the shoulder is the second most common place for this cancer to start, but it can start in other bones as well. Most osteosarcomas arise from random and unpredictable errors in the DNA of growing bone cells during times of intense bone growth.
 
 
 

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy utilizes chemicals that interfere with the cell division process – damaging proteins or DNA – so that cancer cells will commit suicide. These treatments target any rapidly dividing cells (not necessarily just cancer cells), but normal cells usually can recover from any chemical-induced damage while cancer cells cannot. Chemotherapy is generally used to treat cancer that has spread or metastasized because the medicines travel throughout the entire body. It is a necessary treatment for some forms of leukemia and lymphoma. Chemotherapy treatment occurs in cycles so the body has time to heal between doses. However, there are still common side effects such as hair loss, nausea, fatigue, and vomiting. Kids with cancer can be given the chemotherapy medications intravenously (through a vein) or orally (by mouth). Some forms of chemotherapy can be given intrathecally, or into the spinal fluid. The drugs enter the bloodstream and work to kill cancer in all parts of the body.

Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy is the use of precisely targeted x-rays to destroys cells in the area being treated (the target tissue) by damaging their genetic material or reduce the size of a tumor and making it impossible for these cells to continue to grow. Radiotherapy can cure cancer in many sites of the body. It can also be used to treat leukemia and lymphoma. The length of treatment varies depending on individual factors such as the location, type and stage of cancer. Side effect may include hair loss, skin changes, nausea and other.

Bone Marrow Transplantation

Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue inside your bones. Stem cells are immature cells in the bone marrow that give rise to all of your blood cells. A bone marrow transplant is a procedure to replace stem cells destroyed by treatment such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The healthy, transplanted stem cells can restore the bone marrow’s ability to produce the blood cells the patient needs. It most commonly treats to leukemia and lymphoma.

The NCSM Cancer Treatment Centre provides radiation treatment to cancer patients.

Set up in 1989, the centre provides radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and high dose brachytherapy to treat cancer patients. The Centre is equipped with:

  1. Two (2) linac machines for external radiation treatment.
  2. One (1) brachytherapy HDR unit for internal radiation treatment.
  3. One (1) digital simulator to produce clearer images than a conventional simulator. This will provide better accuracy and less radiation dosage to patients.
  4. One (1) computer planning system.

How We Help Our Patients

  • By providing chemotherapy and radiotherapy / brachytherapy treatment under one roof, our patients are able to undergo treatment comfortably and do not have to travel around.
  • Our rates are minimal and highly subsidised – this means more people are able to receive treatment, increasing the chances of cancer survival.
  • We have little or no waiting list policy, which means patients can begin treatment usually on the same day after consulting our oncologists and completing the necessary investigations. Those who need a more complicated treatment method will start their treatment on the next day.
  • We have 2 linear accelerators which means the possibility of machine breakdowns that causes treatment delays or cancellations are reduced.
  • Our warm and friendly staff will make you feel at ease. Language is not a barrier as our staff are multilingual. Patients who are referred to this centre come from all over the world such as Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Middle East and Australia.

About Cancer in Malaysia ?

Cancer is a disease of the cells. These cells work to replace worn out cells, heal damaged cells and help in growth. Cells are regenerated by certain genes. When these genes grow or multiply abnormally and grow into a lump (tumour), it becomes cancer. There are two classifications for cancer:

  1. Benign: generally not cancerous and do not spread to other parts of the body. However, some could be precancerous and may progress to cancer if untreated.
  2. Malignant: cancerous and if not treated early, may spread and affect other parts of the body, becoming invasive cancer.

These damaged cells can also move away from the original (primary) cancer area through local tissue fluid channels (lymphatics) or the blood stream, invading other organs. When these cells reach a new site, they may continue to grow, forming a new tumour at that area. This is known as secondary cancer or metastasis.

There are no definite answers on what causes most cancers. Lifestyle habits and recreation or substances in our environment affecting the body are commonly identified as highly possible risk factors. Other identified high risk factors for cancer include smoking, diet, chemicals and asbestos. Cancer is not contagious; you will not catch it by coming into contact with someone who has it.

Family history

It is likely to have someone in the family who has (or had) cancer. If someone in your family has/had cancer, it could mean:

  • Cancer has developed by chance in your family (most common)
  • You may have an increased risk of getting cancer
  • May have an inherited faulty gene causing an increased chance of cancer. This only involves up to 5% of certain cancers.

  1. According to estimates, there are about 90-100,000 people in Malaysia living with cancer at any one time.
  2. The National Cancer Registry of Malaysia (NCR) records 21,773 Malaysians being diagnosed with cancer but estimates that almost 10,000 cases are unregistered every year.
  3. It is estimated that one in four Malaysians (1:4) will develop cancer by 75 years old.
  4. Increasing population and longer life spans contributes to rise of cancer. Less than 10% of cancers happen in children compared to over 50% in men and 35% in women aged 50 and above.
  5. Cancer occurs more in females than males with a ratio of male to female 1:1.2
  6. The cancer incidence out of 100,000 people are:
    • 4,058 Malay males and 4,753 Malay females are diagnosed with cancer
    • 4,078 Chinese males and 4,422 Chinese females are diagnosed with cancer
    • 629 Indian males and 1065 Indian females are diagnosed with cancer

The top 5 cancers affecting both male and female in Malaysia are:

  1. Breast
  2. Colorectal (bowel)
  3. Lung
  4. Cervical
  5. Nasopharyngeal
  • Although considered the 3rd leading cause of premature death in Malaysia, only 30-40% of all deaths from cancer are medically certified, meaning there is no exact figure of people dying from cancer.
  • Findings show that 10.3% of Malaysians risk dying from the disease before 75 years old. (Globocan, 2008)
  • Cancer is becoming a leading cause of death due to avoidable risk factors like smoking and tobacco exposure, poor diet, alcohol, inadequate exercise or being overweight.
  • It is estimated that nearly 40% of all cancers are preventable, including colorectal, lung and cervical cancers, with smaller effects in breast and nasopharyngeal cancer.
  • Improvement in early detection and treatment leads to better survival rates for people with cancer.
 
Cancer Type in Malaysia
 
 
 
 

It is the most common cancer affecting women where one in 19 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85. About 4,000 women are diagnosed each year, mostly between 35-60 years old with 40% affected below the age of 50. It is rare, but men can also develop breast cancer.

Breasts are made up of milk glands, which consist of lobules. Milk is made in lobules, and tubes called ducts take milk to the nipples. Cancer develops when cells in the breast grow out of control.

If cancer has not spread beyond the breasts, it is referred as pre-invasive breast cancer. The most common types are ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). Most breast cancers are diagnosed at invasive stages which consist of several types:

  • Early breast cancer: confined in the breast but may have spread to one or more lymph nodes in the armpit.
  • Locally advanced breast cancer: may have spread to places near the breast (skin, muscles, and chest) but not found in other parts of the body.
  • Metastatic (advanced) breast cancer: cancer cells have spread to other areas of the body like lungs, bones or liver.

What are the risks?

  • Ageing.
  • Previously diagnosed with breast cancer or other breast conditions like atypical ductal hyperplasia, ductal carcinoma in situ or lobular carcinoma in situ.
  • Family history where a relative from either side of the family has / had breast cancer.
  • Inherited genes which do not work properly. Only 1 in 20 cases are caused by faulty genes.

What are the symptoms?

  • Change in the nipple: the shape, crusting, a sore or an ulcer, redness. Nipple turning in when it used to stick out.
  • Change in the skin of the breast including a dimpling, unusual redness or other colour changes.
  • Changes in shape or size.
  • A lump, lumpiness or thickening.
  • Unusual discharge from nipple without squeezing.
  • Persistent or unusual pain that is unrelated to monthly menstruation cycle that remains after some time, occurring in one breast only.

These symptoms do not necessarily mean breast cancer. They are signs that alert you to have them checked by your doctor immediately. Symptoms of male breast cancer are similar to women’s. In some cases, symptoms may not be present and breast cancer may be found on a screening mammogram.

Also referred to as bowel cancer, it is the second most common cancer affecting about 2,900 Malaysians each year, mostly above the age of 50 but it can occur to anyone. It is the second most common cancer in Malaysian men across all age groups.

The large bowel is part of the digestive system, which works to help food to digest by absorbing water and nutrients and to remove remaining wastes. Bowel cancer can grow from the inner bowel lining or grow from a small raised area (polyp). Polyps are mostly benign (harmless) but can progress to become malignant (cancerous).

What are the risks?

  • Ageing.
  • Lifestyle factors, such as eating habits.
  • Family history where a relative from either side of the family had been diagnosed with bowel cancer before age 55.
  • Inherited faulty genes which do not work properly. Only 1 in 20 cases are caused by faulty genes.
  • Inherited genetic condition:
    1. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) that causes polyps to form in the bowel. These polyps start off benign but could turn cancerous if not removed. FAP is a rare condition.
    2. Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) or Lynch syndrome increases the risk for cancer of the colon or rectum. Not everyone with HNPCC will develop bowel cancer.
  • If you have an inflammatory bowel disease.

What are the symptoms?

  • Abdominal pain during a bowel movement.
  • Anaemia
  • Blood in the stool or toilet paper.
  • Complete obstruction of the bowel.
  • Changes in bowel habits: appearance of stool, constipation or more frequent, smaller bowel movements.
  • Feeling of fullness in the bowel or rectum.
  • Feeling that the bowel did not empty completely after a bowel movement.
  • Rectal or anal pain.
  • Unexplained weight loss and fatigue.

These symptoms do not necessarily mean colorectal cancer. They are signs that alert you to have them checked by your doctor immediately.

It is the 2nd most common cancer affecting men and 3rd most common cancer with 2,100 Malaysians diagnosed each year.

The lungs are roughly cone-shaped and made up of sections called lobes. The left lung has two lobes and the right lung three. The lungs are spongy and fill up most of the chest area. There are a few structures that lie between the lungs such as:

  • heart and large blood vessels
  • windpipe (trachea)
  • oesophagus (carries food from mouth to stomach)
  • many lymph nodes

Lung cancer usually begins in the lining of an airway and there are many different types of lung cancer, classified according to the type of cell affected.

  • Small cell lung cancer: Makes up 15% of all lung cancers, this type tends to start in the middle of the lungs. It is strongly linked with cigarette smoking. Types of small cell lung cancer are small cell carcinoma, mixed small cell/large cell carcinoma and combined cell carcinoma. It is usually treated with chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy.
  • Non-small cell lung cancer: Makes up around 75-80% of lung cancers, usually affecting the main bronchi and smaller airways. The cancer can spread into the chest wall and lymph nodes. Types include squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma and bronchio-alveolar cell carcinoma.
  • Mesothelioma: It is cancer of the cells of the pleural membrane around the lungs and is strongly linked to asbestos exposure. However, it could take up to 25-50 years from exposure to development of cancer.

What are the risks?

  • Smoking
    • about 1 in 10 smokers develop lung cancer
    • more than 90% of lung cancers are attributed to smoking
    • smoking at a young age increases the risk of developing lung cancer
    • second hand smoke could cause lung cancer
  • Work-related risks
    • exposure to asbestos
    • exposure to processing of steel, nickel, chrome and coal gas
    • radiation, especially for miners who breath in air contaminated

What are the symptoms?

  • A new cough
  • Breathlessness
  • Coughing up blood
  • Chest pain
  • Difficulty swallowing (often seen in people with advanced cancer)
  • Fatigue
  • Hoarseness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Weight loss

These symptoms do not necessarily mean lung cancer. They are signs that alert you to have them checked by your doctor immediately.

It is the 3rd most common cancer, accounting for 11% of all cancers in women. Over 1100 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in Malaysia each year. Risk of cervical cancer increases after 30 years old and peaks at ages 60–69 years old.

The cervix

  • Part of the female reproductive system and the lower part of the uterus (womb) connecting to the vagina.
  • Shaped like an upside down pear located at the top of the vagina.
  • Produces moistness to lubricate the vagina and mucus to help sperm travel up to the Fallopian tube to fertilise an egg from the ovary. At childbirth, the cervix widens to allow the baby to pass down into the birth canal.

Cervical cancer is a malignant tumour in the tissues of the cervix. There are 2 main types of cervical cancer, named after the type of cell they originated from.

  • Squamous cell carcinoma: Starting in the squamous or skin-like cells of the cervix, it is the most common cancer and accounts for 80% of all cervical cancers.
  • Adenocarcinoma: It starts higher in the cervix and is more difficult to diagnose with Pap test. It develops from the glandular cells and is a less common type of cancer.

Cervical cancer is either microinvasive or invasive:

  • Microinvasive: cancer cells have broken through the boundary between epithelium and stroma but have not spread more than 5mm into the cervix tissue.
  • Invasive: cancer cells have spread into the stroma beyond 5mm and may have spread to nearby tissues like vagina, rectum or bladder.
  • Cancer can also spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system.

What are the risks?

  • Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection
    • An infection commonly affecting the surface on any part of the body, including the skin, vagina and cervix.
    • There are more than 100 types of virus but only some affect the genital area.
    • Most women will be infected with HPV at some time in life but the infection usually clears up on its own.
    • HPV shows no symptoms and women only find out about it if it shows up on a Pap smear.
    • Only a few types of HPV cause cervical cancer.
  • Smoking – chemicals in cigarettes may damage the cells of the cervix and increase risk of developing cervical cancer.

What are the symptoms?

  • Bleeding after intercourse
  • Excessive tiredness
  • Leg pain or swelling
  • Lower back pain
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Vaginal bleeding between periods
  • Vaginal bleeding after menopause

These symptoms do not necessarily mean cervical cancer. They are signs that alert you to have them checked by your doctor immediately.


It is the 5th most common cancer affecting about 1,000 Malaysians every year. NPC is the 3rd most common cancer in men aged 15-49. It is less common in men and women under 30 years old but incidences increase between 30-60 years old.

The nasopharynx is situated behind the nose and below the brain, connecting the nose to the windpipe. On its sidewall, a tube connects it to the ear. The nasopharynx is made up four areas:

  1. Nose and sinuses
    The nasal cavity of the large, air-filled space located behind the nose. The nose and upper respiratory tract function to warm, moisten and filter the air we breathe. Paranasal sinuses are air-filled spaces within the head that helps lighten the weight of the skull. The four (4) types of sinuses are:
    • Frontal sinuses – behind the forehead.
    • Ethmoid sinuses – between the eyes.
    • Sphenoid sinuses – at the base of the skull.
    • Maxillary sinuses – under the eyes within the maxillary (cheek) bones.
  2. Mouth (oral cavity)
    • The tongue is the largest organ in the mouth and is made of muscular tissue.
    • The roof of the mouth is formed by the hard palate.
    • The soft palate is an arch of muscle behind the hard palate, going into the throat.
    • Includes the lips, gums, cheeks, floor or the mouth and jaw.
  3. Throat (pharynx)
    The throat is the tube running from the back of the nose to the oesophagus and trachea, consisting of three parts:
    • Nasopharynx – the open cavity behind the nose and above the soft palate.
    • Oropharynx – area from the soft palate and base of the tongue to the back of the mouth, including the tonsils.
    • Hypopharynx or Laryngopharynx – the lowest part of the back of the throat behind the voice box.

    Halfway down the neck, the throat branches into two tubes:

    • Oesophagus – tube that carries food into the stomach.
    • Trachea – tube that brings air into and out of the lungs.
  4. Voice box (larynx)
    • The voice box is located on top of the trachea.
    • It houses the vocal cords (glottis), which vibrate on air coming up from the lungs to allow sound production required for speech.
    • Above the vocal cords is the supraglottis that contains the epiglottis, which is a small cartilage flap preventing food from going into the trachea.
    • The area below the glottis is the subglottis.

What are the risks?

  • Age – more common in people aged 55 and above
  • Chewing betel nut
  • Diet: A recent study in Singapore identified salted soy beans, canned pickled vegetables, Szechuan vegetables and salted vegetables as high–risk foods. The cooking of such foods releases toxic substances called nitrosamines into the fumes that we breathe.
  • Epstein Barr Virus (EB virus) – This virus has been found to be associated with NPC.
  • Geography and race: NPC incidence among Chinese and other Southeast Asians are 10 -50X higher than other countries. Moderately elevated numbers are associated in Malays.
  • Genetic factors may play an important role in NPC. Blood tests can identify certain people at risk from NPC. At present, these tests are not commercially available.
  • Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
  • Inhalation of sulphuric acid mist, asbestos fibers, dry–cleaning solvents, some types of paint or nickel
  • Smoking
  • Sex – men are 3 times more likely to develop the cancer

What are the symptoms?
NPC often does not present any symptoms at the early stage. However, there are a few indications:

  • The most common presentation (90%) is a lump in the neck. That is a swollen lymph node penetrated by cancer cells.
  • Nose bleed, blocked nostrils, mucus secretion.
  • Loss of hearing, pain and buzzing in the ear and noise discharge.
  • Hoarseness of voice and difficulty in swallowing.
  • Paralysis on one side of the face.

Oral cancer symptoms

  • Mouth pain
  • White or red patch on gums, tongue or lining
  • A change in speech or difficulty pronouncing words
  • Difficulty swallowing food or feeling that food is ‘stuck’
  • A lump in the neck
  • Loose teeth or dentures that no longer fit well

Pharyngeal cancer symptoms

  • Throat pain
  • Sore throat or cough that won’t go away
  • Coughing up phlegm with blood
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • A change in the sound of voice or hoarseness
  • Feeling that air supply is blocked
  • Dull pain around the breastbone
  • Lump in the neck
  • An earache

Laryngeal cancer symptoms

  • Swelling in the neck or throat
  • A change in the sound of voice or hoarseness
  • Lump in the neck
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • A persistent sore throat

Nasal and paranasal cancer symptoms

  • Persistent blocked nose, particularly in one nostril
  • Decreased sense of smell
  • Nosebleeds
  • Mucus drainage in the back of nose or throat
  • Frequent headaches or feeling of sinus pressure
  • A bulging or watery eye
  • Complete or partial loss of eyesight
  • Double vision
  • A lump on the face, in the nose or mouth
  • Loose or painful teeth
  • Pressure or pain in the ears
 
 

Prevention & Early Detection


A healthy lifestyle can help prevent up to 2/3 of all cancers. Making slight changes to daily habits will reduce the risk of developing cancer.

  • Do not smoke. If you smoke, quitting will significantly reduce your risk for many cancers.
  • Be active every day or try to exercise three times a week, 30 minutes each time.
  • Keep to a healthy weight.
  • Eat plenty of vegetables, fruit and dietary fibre (oats, brown rice, cereal etc).
  • Eat food low in fat, sugar and salt.
  • Keep your alcohol intake low.
  • Drink at least 8 glasses of plain water every day.
  • Be sun aware.


Certain cancers can be detected early and there is an 80% chance of surviving a cancer that was found early. There are 8 warning signs of cancer to look out for:

  • Any change in bowel or bladder habit.
  • Unusual bleeding or discharge from any part of the body e.g. vaginal bleeding between menstruations or after menopause.
  • An unexplained lump that does not go away e.g. lump in the breast or in the neck.
  • A sore that does not heal.
  • Changes to a skin spot, wart or mole.
  • Hoarseness of voice or nagging cough lasting more than two weeks.
  • Unusual nose bleed, deafness or ringing sound in the ears.
  • Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing.


Screening is tests done on healthy individuals to find the cancer at an early stage. The screening guidelines recommended by NCSM are for the early detection of cancer for people without any symptoms. Some people are at higher risks for certain cancers and may need to have the tests more frequently. Talk with your health care professional to find out how these guidelines relate to you

 
 
Nutrition


More and more studies are recognizing the power of nutrients in fruits and vegetables that may be helpful to prevent diseases and cancer.

  • Phytochemicals such as beta-carotene, lycopene and isoflavones found in fruits, vegetables and grains have been identified as disease fighters.
  • Research found that risk or prostate cancer drops for men who eat tomatoes and tomato products as tomatoes are high in lycopene.
  • It has been shown that colon cancer declines among those who drink green tea and regularly eat soy products and foods rich in selenium.

It may not be clear how phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables work to prevent cancer but many researches have proven that this compound is effective in lowering risks of certain cancers and disease in general.

Many people with cancer take herbs and other alternative therapies such as vitamins, minerals antioxidants, enzymes, amino acids, animal extracts, hormones or other dietary supplements. They hope it will help in treating their disease or improve nutrition and general health. While many dietary supplements may be said to cure cancer, to date there is no evidence that these products are effective treatments for the disease

Herbs

  • Herbs are the main ingredient to treat diseases since hundreds of years ago.
  • Today, herbs can be found in pills, liquid extracts, teas and ointments.
  • Many of these herb-based products are safe to use but some may have side effects, particularly to the liver. They could interfere with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or recovery fro surgery.

Vitamins, Minerals & Dietary Supplements

  • Many people with cancer take some or many types of vitamins, minerals and other diet supplements to enhance their immune system or even destroy cancer cells.
  • The doctor or dietitian may advise supplementing your diet with certain vitamins and minerals during treatment particularly if you are unable to eat an adequate diet. In most cases, however, a supplement that contains 100% of the Malaysian Recommended Daily Allowances is usually sufficient.
  • Taking any supplement in large doses or without a doctor’s knowledge can be harmful as they may reduce the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
  • Currently, there are no regulations controlling the safety, content and quality or dose recommendations for these products. Malaysian Law does not require manufacturers to print possible side effects on labels.
  • Antioxidants protect the body’s cells from damage caused by free radicals (by-products of the body’s normal processes. Many people take antioxidants in supplement form such as vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene and selenium).
  • Taking large doses of antioxidant supplements is usually not recommended while undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy. If you want more antioxidants, fresh fruits and vegetables would be the best options.

Safety considerations:

  • Tell your health care team about any herbal products and supplements that you are using or considering using. Bring the bottle(s) of the supplement to your doctor for approval of the dose and to ensure that the ingredients do not interfere with your health or cancer treatments.
  • Ask your doctor or dietician for reliable information on dietary supplements.
  • Check the product labels for both the quantity and concentration of active ingredients contained in each product and the expiry date.
  • Stop taking the product immediately and call your doctor if you experience side effects such as wheezing, itching, numbness or tingling in limbs.
  • It is important to do your own research that is written by recognized experts of a product before you buy an expensive supplement. Also avoid supplements that are priced cheaply as they are most likely of low quality.
  • When you shop for herbal supplements, make sure to find a product that uses only the effective part of the plant. Avoid botanicals that have been made using the entire plant, unless the entire plant is recommended.
  • Remember that a product described as "natural” is not necessarily safer or more effective.
  • Consider the name and reputation of the manufacturer or distributor. Large companies with a reputation to uphold are more likely to manufacture their products under strict, quality controlled conditions
  • Does the label provide an address to contact the company?
  • Try to avoid mixtures of many different supplements. The more the ingredients , the greater the chance of harmful effects.
  • Avoid products that claim to be "miracle cures,” ‘breakthroughs” or "new discoveries.” These claims are almost always completely untrue.
  • Avoid products that claim to be effective treatment for a wide variety of unrelated illnesses.

Some kinds of cancer therapies cause low white blood cell counts. If you have a low white cell count, you must handle and prepare food carefully to reduce your exposure to bacteria.

What to Do :

  • Wash hands thoroughly with warm soapy water before and after preparing food and before eating.
  • Use different cutting boards for meats and vegetables. Sanitise cutting boards well after each use. Wash the board with warm soapy water and rinse well. Wash the board again with a solution of 1 tablespoon of bleach in 4 cups of warm water. Let the solution stay on the board for at least 2 minutes and then rinse with hot clean water.
  • Keep hot foods hot (above 60°C) and cold foods cold ( below 40°C).
  • Thaw foods in the refrigerator or microwave oven and cook them immediately. Never thaw foods at room temperature.
  • Refrigerate all leftovers within 2 hours of cooking them and eat them within 24 hours.
  • Eat only well cooked foods. Avoid raw and undercooked foods.
  • Do not eat raw eggs ; you must always cook them thoroughly.
  • Do not drink tap water directly from tap, but boiled the water or filter it before consume.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Signs Of Colon Cancer
 
Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include: 


A change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool for more than a couple of weeks

Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool

Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain

A feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely

Weakness or fatigue

Unexplained weight loss

Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms appear, they'll likely vary, depending on the cancer's size and location in your large intestine.


When to see a doctor

If you notice any symptoms of colon cancer, such as blood in your stool or a persistent change in bowel habits, make an appointment with your doctor.


Talk to your doctor about when you should begin screening for colon cancer. Guidelines generally recommend colon cancer screenings begin at age 50. Your doctor may recommend more frequent or earlier screening if you have other risk factors, such as a family history of the disease.

Causes:

It's not clear what causes colon cancer in most cases. Doctors know that colon cancer occurs when healthy cells in the colon become altered. Healthy cells grow and divide in an orderly way to keep your body functioning normally. But sometimes this growth gets out of control — cells continue dividing even when new cells aren't needed. In the colon and rectum, this exaggerated growth may cause precancerous cells to form in the lining of your intestine. Over a long period of time — spanning up to several years — some of these areas of abnormal cells may become cancerous. 



Precancerous growths in the colon

Colon cancer most often begins as clumps of precancerous cells (polyps) on the inside lining of the colon. Polyps can appear mushroom-shaped. Precancerous growths can also be flat or recessed into the wall of the colon (nonpolypoid lesions). Nonpolypoid lesions are more difficult to detect, but are less common. Removing polyps and nonpolypoid lesions before they become cancerous can prevent colon cancer.


Inherited gene mutations that increase the risk of colon cancer

Inherited gene mutations that increase the risk of colon cancer can be passed through families, but these inherited genes are linked to only a small percentage of colon cancers. Inherited gene mutations don't make cancer inevitable, but they can increase an individual's risk of cancer significantly.
Factors that may increase your risk of colon cancer include: 



Older age. About 90 percent of people diagnosed with colon cancer are older than 50. Colon cancer can occur in younger people, but it occurs much less frequently.

African-American race. African-Americans have a greater risk of colon cancer than do people of other races.

A personal history of colorectal cancer or polyps. If you've already had colon cancer or adenomatous polyps, you have a greater risk of colon cancer in the future.

Inflammatory intestinal conditions. Long-standing inflammatory diseases of the colon, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, can increase your risk of colon cancer.

Inherited syndromes that increase colon cancer risk. Genetic syndromes passed through generations of your family can increase your risk of colon cancer. These syndromes include familial adenomatous polyposis and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, which is also known as Lynch syndrome.

Family history of colon cancer and colon polyps. You're more likely to develop colon cancer if you have a parent, sibling or child with the disease. If more than one family member has colon cancer or rectal cancer, your risk is even greater. In some cases, this connection may not be hereditary or genetic. Instead, cancers within the same family may result from shared exposure to an environmental carcinogen or from diet or lifestyle factors.

Low-fiber, high-fat diet. Colon cancer and rectal cancer may be associated with a diet low in fiber and high in fat and calories. Research in this area has had mixed results. Some studies have found an increased risk of colon cancer in people who eat diets high in red meat and processed meats.

A sedentary lifestyle. If you're inactive, you're more likely to develop colon cancer. Getting regular physical activity may reduce your risk of colon cancer.

Diabetes. People with diabetes and insulin resistance may have an increased risk of colon cancer.

Obesity. People who are obese have an increased risk of colon cancer and an increased risk of dying of colon cancer when compared with people considered normal weight.

Smoking. People who smoke cigarettes may have an increased risk of colon cancer.

Alcohol. Heavy use of alcohol may increase your risk of colon cancer.

Radiation therapy for cancer. Radiation therapy directed at the abdomen to treat previous cancers may increase the risk of colon cancer.

If your doctor suspects you may have colon cancer, you'll likely be referred to specialists who treat colon cancer. You may meet with a number of specialists, including:



Doctors who treat digestive diseases (gastroenterologists)

Doctors who treat cancer (oncologists)

Doctors who remove colon cancer using surgery (surgeons)

Doctors who use radiation to treat cancer (radiation oncologists)

Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.


What you can do


Be aware of any pre-appointment restrictions. At the time you make the appointment, be sure to ask if there's anything you need to do in advance, such as restrict your diet.

Write down any symptoms you're experiencing, including any that may seem unrelated to the reason for which you scheduled the appointment.

Write down key personal information, including any major stresses or recent life changes.

Make a list of all medications, as well as any vitamins or supplements, that you're taking.

Take a family member or friend along, if possible. Sometimes it can be difficult to absorb all the information provided during an appointment. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot.

Write down questions to ask your doctor.

Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For colon cancer, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:



Where is my colon cancer located in my colon?

What is the stage of my colon cancer?

Can you explain my pathology report to me?

Can I have a copy of my pathology report?

Has my colon cancer spread to other parts of my body?

Will I need more tests?

What are the treatment options for my colon cancer?

Will any of the treatments cure my colon cancer?

What is the chance that my colon cancer will be cured?

How much does each treatment increase my chances that my colon cancer will be cured?

What are the potential side effects of each treatment?

How will each treatment affect my daily life?

Is there one treatment you feel is best for me?

What would you recommend to a family member or friend in my same situation?

How much time can I take to make my decision about treatment?

Should I seek a second opinion?

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
 
What is non-Hodgkin lymphoma?
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (also known as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, NHL, or sometimes just lymphoma) is a cancer that starts in cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body's immune system. Lymphocytes are in the lymph nodes and other lymphoid tissues (such as the spleen and bone marrow). These will be described in more detail in the section "The lymph system and lymphoid tissue."

Some other types of cancer -- lung or colon cancers, for example -- can spread to lymph tissue such as the lymph nodes or bone marrow. But cancers that start in these places and then spread to the lymph tissue are not lymphomas.

There are 2 main types of lymphomas.

Hodgkin lymphoma (also known as Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin disease, or Hodgkin's disease) is named after Dr. Thomas Hodgkin, who first described it.
non-Hodgkin lymphoma
These 2 types of lymphomas differ in how they behave, spread, and respond to treatment.

Doctors can usually tell the difference between them by looking at the cancer cells under a microscope. In some cases, sensitive lab tests may be needed to tell them apart.
The lymph system and lymphoid tissue
To understand what lymphoma is, it helps to know about the body's lymph system.

The lymph system (also known as the lymphatic system) is composed mainly of lymphoid tissue, lymph vessels, and a clear fluid called lymph. Lymphoid tissue is made up of several types of immune system cells that work together to help the body fight infections. Lymphoid tissue is found in many places throughout the body (described below).

LymphocytesMost of the cells in lymphoid tissue are lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. The 2 main types of lymphocytes are B lymphocytes (B cells) and T lymphocytes (T cells). Both types can develop into lymphoma cells, but B-cell lymphomas are much more common than T-cell lymphomas in the United States. Normal T cells and B cells do different jobs within the immune system.

B lymphocytes: B cells normally help protect the body against germs (bacteria or viruses) by making proteins called antibodies. The antibodies attach to the bacteria or viruses and attract other immune system cells that surround and digest the antibody-coated germs. Antibodies also attract certain blood proteins that can kill bacteria.

T lymphocytes: There are several types of T cells, each with a specialized job. Some T cells help protect the body against viruses, fungi, and some bacteria. For example, they recognize specific substances found in virus-infected cells and destroy these cells. T cells can also release substances called cytokines that attract certain other types of white blood cells, which then digest the infected cells. T cells are also thought to destroy some types of cancer cells. Some types of T cells play a role in either boosting or slowing the activity of other immune system cells.

Different types of lymphoma can develop from these different types of lymphocytes. Treatment for each lymphoma depends on which type it is, so determining the exact type of lymphoma is important.

Organs that contain lymphoid tissueBecause lymphoid tissue is in many parts of the body, lymphomas can start almost anywhere. The major sites of lymphoid tissue are:

Lymph nodes: Lymph nodes are bean-sized organs throughout the body that are connected by a system of lymphatic vessels. These vessels are like veins, except that instead of carrying blood, they carry lymph and immune system cells.

Lymph nodes get bigger when they fight infection. Lymph nodes that grow in reaction to infection are called reactive nodes or hyperplastic nodes and are often tender to the touch. An enlarged lymph node is not always a sign of a serious problem. Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck are often felt in people with sore throats or colds. But a large lymph node is also the most common sign of lymphoma. Lymph node enlargement is discussed more in the section, "How is non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosed?"

Spleen: The spleen is an organ under the lower part of the rib cage on the left side of the body. An average adult spleen weighs about 5 ounces. The spleen makes lymphocytes and other immune system cells to help fight infection. It also stores healthy blood cells and filters out damaged blood cells, bacteria, and cell waste.

Thymus gland: The thymus lies behind the upper part of the breastbone and in front of the heart. Before birth, the thymus plays a vital role in development of T lymphocytes. The thymus shrinks and becomes less important over the first 20 years of life. Despite this, it continues to play a role in immune system function.

Adenoids and tonsils: These are collections of lymphoid tissue located at the back of the throat. They help make antibodies against germs that are breathed in or swallowed. They are easy to see when they become enlarged during an infection or if they become cancerous.

Digestive tract: The stomach and intestines as well as many other organs also contain lymphoid tissue.

Bone marrow: The bone marrow (the soft inner part of certain bones) makes red blood cells, blood platelets, and white blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Platelets plug up small holes in blood vessels caused by cuts or scrapes. White blood cells' main job is fighting infections. The 2 main types of white blood cells are granulocytes and lymphocytes. Bone marrow lymphocytes are primarily B cells. Lymphomas sometimes start from bone marrow lymphocytes.

Types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Classifying non-Hodgkin lymphoma can be quite confusing (even for many doctors) because there are so many types and because several different systems have been used. The most recent system is the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. The WHO system groups lymphomas based on how they look under a microscope, the chromosome features of the lymphoma cells, and the presence of certain chemicals on the surface of the cells. (Older systems classified lymphomas based only on how they looked under a microscope.)

The more common types of lymphoma are listed below according to whether they are B-cell or T-cell lymphomas. Some rarer forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma are not discussed here.

B-cell lymphomas
B-cell lymphomas make up most (about 85%) of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the United States.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma This is one of the more common types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the United States, accounting for about 1 out of every 3 cases. The cells are fairly large when viewed under the microscope.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can affect any age group but occurs mostly in older people (the average age is mid-60s). It usually starts as a quickly growing mass in an internal lymph node, such as in the chest or abdomen or in a lymph node that you can feel, such as in the neck or armpit. Although this lymphoma usually starts in lymph nodes, it can grow in other areas such as the intestines, bone, or even the brain or spinal cord.

About 1 out of 3 of these lymphomas is confined to one part of the body (localized) when it is found. Localized lymphomas are easier to treat than when they have spread to other parts of the body. Genetic tests have shown that there are different subtypes of DLBCL, even though they look the same under the microscope. These subtypes seem to have different outlooks (prognoses) and responses to treatment.

This is a fast growing lymphoma, but it often responds well to treatment with chemotherapy. Overall, about 3 out of 4 people will have no signs of disease after initial treatment, and about half of all people with this lymphoma are cured with therapy.

Follicular lymphomaAbout 1 out of 5 lymphomas in the United States is follicular lymphoma. The term follicular is used because the cells tend to grow in a circular, or nodular, pattern in lymph nodes.

The average age for people with this lymphoma is about 60. It is rare in very young people. Most of the time, this lymphoma occurs in many lymph node sites in the body, as well as in the bone marrow.

Follicular lymphomas are often slow-growing, but they are hard to cure. The 5-year survival rate (the percentage of people surviving at least 5 years) is around 70%. Often these lymphomas are not treated when they are first diagnosed if the patient has no symptoms of the disease. Over time, about 1 out of 3 follicular lymphomas changes (transforms) into a fast-growing diffuse B-cell lymphoma.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia /small lymphocytic lymphoma These are closely related diseases. In fact, many doctors consider them to be different versions of the same disease. The same type of cell (known as a small lymphocyte) is involved in both chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL). The only difference is where the cancer occurs. In CLL it is mostly in the blood and bone marrow; in SLL, it is mainly in the lymph nodes. SLL accounts for about 5% to 10% of all lymphomas.

Both CLL and SLL are slow-growing diseases, although CLL, which is much more common, tends to grow slower. CLL and SLL are treated the same way. They are usually not considered curable with standard treatments, but depending on the stage and growth rate of the disease, most patients live longer than 10 years. Occasionally over time, these slow-growing lymphomas may transform into a more aggressive type of lymphoma.

For more detailed information, see our document, Leukemia -- Chronic Lymphocytic.

Mantle cell lymphomaOnly about 5% of lymphomas are of this type. The cells are small to medium in size.

Men are affected most often. The average age of patients is in the early 60s. The lymphoma is usually widespread when it is diagnosed, involving lymph nodes, bone marrow, and, very often, the spleen.

This isn't a very fast growing lymphoma, but it is hard to treat. Newer, more aggressive treatments may be more effective than those used in the past, and may offer a better chance for long-term survival for patients now being diagnosed.

Marginal zone B-cell lymphomasMarginal zone lymphomas account for about 5% to 10% of lymphomas. The cells in these lymphomas look small under the microscope. There are 3 main types of marginal zone lymphomas.

Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas, also known as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas: These lymphomas start in places other than the lymph nodes (hence the name extranodal) and are the most common type. Most MALT lymphomas arise in the stomach and are thought to be related to an infection by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, which is also the cause of stomach ulcers. Other possible sites of MALT lymphomas include the lung, skin, thyroid, salivary glands, and tissues surrounding the eye. Usually it is confined to the area where it begins and is not widespread. Many of these other MALT lymphomas have also been linked to infections with bacteria or viruses.

The average age of patients with MALT lymphoma is about 60. It is a slow-growing lymphoma and is often curable in its early stages. Doctors often use antibiotics as the first treatment for this type of lymphoma, especially MALT lymphoma of the stomach, as they may get rid of the Helicobacter pylori infection.

Nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma: This is a rare disease, found mainly in older women. Mostly lymph nodes are involved, although the lymphoma cells can also sometimes be found in the bone marrow.

This tends to be a slow-growing lymphoma (although not usually as slow as MALT lymphoma), and many patients are cured if they are diagnosed in the early stages.

Splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma: This is a rare lymphoma. Most often the lymphoma is found only in the spleen and bone marrow.

Patients are often elderly and male and have fatigue and discomfort caused by an enlarged spleen. Because the disease is slow-growing, treatment may not be needed unless the symptoms become troublesome.

Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma This type accounts for about 2% of all lymphomas. The cells are large and resemble those of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas.

This lymphoma starts in the mediastinum (the area around the heart and behind the chest bone). It usually is localized when it is found and rarely involves the bone marrow. It can cause trouble breathing because it often presses on the windpipe (trachea) leading into the lungs. It can also block the superior vena cava (the large vein that returns blood to the heart from the arms and head). This can cause the arms and face to swell.

About 2 out of 3 people with this lymphoma are women. Most are young -- in their 30s. It is a fast growing lymphoma but it is treatable. About half of patients can be cured.

Burkitt lymphomaThis type makes up about 1% to 2% of all lymphomas. It is named after the doctor who first described this disease in African children and young adults. The cells are medium sized. Another kind of lymphoma, called Burkitt-like lymphoma, has slightly larger cells. Because this second kind of lymphoma is hard to tell apart from Burkitt lymphoma, the WHO classification combines them.

This is a very fast-growing lymphoma. In the African variety, it often starts as tumors of the jaws or other facial bones. In the more common types seen in the United States, the lymphoma usually starts in the abdomen, where it forms a large tumor mass. It can also start in the ovaries, testes, or other organs, and can spread to the brain and spinal fluid.

Close to 90% of patients are male, and the average age is about 30. Although this is a fast-growing lymphoma, over half of patients can be cured by intensive chemotherapy.

Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia)This type is not common, accounting for 1% to 2% of lymphomas. The cells are small and found mainly in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.

Most of the time the lymphoma cells make an antibody called immunoglobulin M (IgM), which is a very large protein. This antibody circulates in the blood in large amounts, and causes the liquid part of the blood to thicken, like syrup. This can lead to decreased blood flow to many organs, which can cause problems with vision (because of poor circulation in blood vessels in the back of the eyes) and neurological problems (such as headache, dizziness, and confusion) caused by poor blood flow within the brain. Other symptoms can include feeling tired and weak, and a tendency to bleed easily.

This lymphoma is slow growing. Although it isn't usually considered to be curable, most patients live longer than 5 years.

For more information, see our document, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia.

Hairy cell leukemiaDespite the name, this is sometimes considered to be a type of lymphoma. Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is rare -- about 1,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with it each year. The cells are small B lymphocytes with projections coming off them that give them a "hairy" appearance. They are typically found in the bone marrow and spleen and circulating in the blood.

Patients with HCL tend to be older in general. Hairy cell leukemia is slow-growing, and some patients may never need treatment. An enlarging spleen or dropping blood counts (due to cancer cells invading the bone marrow) are the usual reasons to begin treatment, which is highly effective. Hairy cell leukemia is also described in our document, Leukemia--Chronic Lymphocytic.

Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphomaThis lymphoma usually involves the brain (called primary brain lymphoma), but it may also be found in the spinal cord and in tissues around the spinal cord and the eye. Over time, it tends to become widespread in the central nervous system. Primary CNS lymphoma is more common in people with immune system problems, such as those infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Most people develop headaches and confusion. They can also have vision problems, paralysis of some facial muscles, and even seizures in some cases.

The outlook for people with this condition has always been thought to be fairly poor, but about 30% to 50% of people can live at least 5 years with today's treatments.

T-cell lymphomas
T-cell lymphomas make up less than 15% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the United States.

Precursor T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemiaThis disease accounts for about 1% of all lymphomas. It can be considered either a lymphoma or leukemia, depending on how much of the bone marrow is involved (leukemias have more bone marrow involvement). The cancer cells are small-to-medium sized immature T-cells.

It often starts in the thymus gland (where many T cells are made) and can develop into a large tumor in the mediastinum (the area around the heart and behind the breast bone). This can cause trouble breathing if it presses on the windpipe (trachea) leading into the lungs. It can also block the superior vena cava (the large vein that returns blood to the heart from the arms and head), which can cause the arms and face to swell.

Patients are most often young adults, with males being affected more often than females.

This lymphoma is fast-growing, but if it hasn't spread to the bone marrow when it is first diagnosed, the chance of cure with chemotherapy is quite good. Once it is in the bone marrow, only about 40% to 50% of patients can be cured.

Peripheral T-cell lymphomasThese types of lymphomas develop from more mature forms of T cells. They are rare, accounting for about 5% of all lymphomas.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (mycosis fungoides, Sezary syndrome): These lymphomas start in the skin. They are described in our document, Lymphoma of the Skin.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma: This lymphoma tends to occur in the lymph nodes and may affect the spleen or liver. Patients usually have fever, weight loss, and skin rashes and often develop infections. This lymphoma often progresses quickly.

Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type: This type often involves the upper airway passages, such as the nose and upper throat, but it can also invade the skin and digestive tract. It is much more common in parts of Asia and South America. All ages can be affected.

Enteropathy type T-cell lymphoma: This lymphoma occurs in people with sensitivity to gluten, the main protein in wheat flour. The disease, called gluten-sensitive enteropathy, can progress to this lymphoma, which typically invades the walls of the intestines.

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma: This rare lymphoma invades the deep layers of the skin, where it causes nodules to form. It is described further in our document, Lymphoma of the Skin.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma: About 1% to 2% of lymphomas are of this type. The cells appear large under the microscope. The type of lymphoma is more common in young people (including children), but it does occur in patients in their 50s and 60s. It usually starts in lymph nodes and can also spread to skin. This type of lymphoma tends to be fast-growing, but many patients with this lymphoma are cured.

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified: This name is given to T-cell lymphomas that don't readily fit into any of the groups above. They make up about half of all T-cell lymphomas. The tumor cells can be small or large. Most patients are in their 60s. As a group, these lymphomas tend to be widespread and grow quickly. Some cases respond well to chemotherapy, but long-term survival is not common.

Nuclear Medicine Centre
 

The NCSM Nuclear Medicine Centre, opened in 1998 is a centre for patients to undergo nuclear medicine imaging.

The centre is also widely recognised as medical specialists from other hospitals refer their patients to this centre for imaging procedures. Imaging assists in providing diagnosis on cancer spread (metastasis) in organs and bones before initiating surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Other scanning services provided include bone scans, renal DTPA, DMSA and thyroid scans.

How We Help Our Patients

  • Our rates are highly subsidised – which means that more patients are able to undergo nuclear imaging tests. At the moment, only six hospitals have this facility and we are the only non-profit centre to provide this service.
  • We have little or no-waiting list policy which allows patients to start treatment immediately, usually on the same day.
  • We are equipped with advanced machines that provide accurate images that will enable doctors to fight the cancer more efficiently.

Our Services

Our nuclear medicine services can be used for:

  1. Oncologic Applications:

How We Help Our Visitors

  • We have a well-stocked library with books related to cancer and an IT corner with Internet accessibility, bringing information closer to people.
  • Our friendly medical staff can explain your diagnosis in a non-clinical setting and advise on questions you can ask your doctor. We also have a counselor to provide user friendly information on mainstream medicine, complementary treatments and new developments in cancer.
  • Our warm and cosy lounge area enables visitors a place to relax, chat or do research. Patients waiting for their turn at the Nuclear Medicine Centre can also wait at the lounge area.

Our Services

Counselling & Support
Counselling can benefit individuals coping with a cancer diagnosis. Our trained counselors can assist in identifying strategies to manage fear, confusion or other related conflicts and problems. Peer counseling is also available and all sessions are carried out in confidentiality.

Research has proven that support groups help greatly during life crises. These groups can lead one to discover their inner selves, finding new resources, provide better ways of coping and make friends in similar situations who are able to understand. Newly diagnosed patients, survivors and caregivers can find a support group that they feel comfortable in.

Our nutritionist provides advice on healthy eating for managing cancer. She can also help patients manage their diets pre, during and post treatment as well as guide patients in choosing suitable alternative nutrition therapies.

We also have trained personnel to teach patients how to manage their breast prosthesis fittings.

Education & Activities
Drawing upon the knowledge of local and foreign experts, public forums are frequently held at the Centre. Our experts will discuss topics like cancer prevention, management, nutrition, overall wellness, exercise and the latest treatments. Staff at the centre also conduct talks at schools, tertiary institutions, corporations and other locations, as requested.

To empower people to better manage life with cancer, we hold activities that encourage some form of accomplishment. Activities such as cooking, craftwork, dancing, singing, computer classes, physical fitness and lifestyle changes programmes are held regularly.

Palliative Care

Palliative care combines treatment, nursing, occupational therapy and / or physiotherapy for people with advanced cancer. While it does not cure one’s cancer, palliative care helps in coping with symptoms of cancer as well as with practical problems of daily life. It can also involve spiritual care and support of relatives and other carers. Palliative care considers:

  • Providing relief from pain and other uncomfortable symptoms
  • Can be provided in home, hospital or a hospice setting
  • Not prolonging treatment when it is no longer beneficial
  • Not ending a life deliberately
  • Supporting families and friends during one’s illness and bereavement

How palliative care works:

  • You may choose the worker involved and how often they visit
  • The visits depend on how you feel, what problems you experience and how your own carers are managing
  • Palliative services are most likely to coordinate your needs with your doctor and nurses from the hospital, instead of talking over all the care and treatment decisions
  • Among the areas palliative care would take note of include:
    • physical – it is common to feel pain, tiredness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, breathlessness and insomnia. Most of these symptoms can be managed with medications. Other methods could be nutrition therapy or physical therapy.
    • practical – you may be able to ask your palliative care team to help you coordinate services such as financial advise, legal matters, insurance, employment issues and other related matters.
    • emotional – cancer and treatment can be overwhelming. Depression, anxiety and fear can occur in the patient and family member. Counseling and support groups may be suggested.
    • spiritual: cancer could increase one’s faith or cause one to question it. There are expert who can help you explore your beliefs and values so you can reach a point of acceptance and find peace.

Family members can also receive palliative care as they could be overwhelmed by how the diagnosis has changed your life and theirs. They may need to adjust their lifestyle to care for you, yet they have other responsibilities. Sometimes the stress of not understanding the disease or not being able to help much causes them to worry or fear. Palliative care is able to help families and friends cope with how cancer directly or indirectly affected them.

  • A place providing day care and long-term residential palliative care services
  • Usually equipped with hospital facilities but in a homelike atmosphere
  • Helps bring pain or other symptoms under control
  • Some cancer patients may check into a hospice care so their caregiver can take a break
  • Some patients may go into hospice to spend their last weeks in a suitable environment


Some people continue to have treatment even if it only offers a small chance of recovery while others may choose to have symptom management to maintain a better quality of life. What does quality of life mean to you? Would chemotherapy be an option if it gives you 2 good weeks every month? Or would you like to spend your time doing things you enjoy without effects that treatment brings?

There are individuals who find that treatment makes them feel sick, especially when a cure is unlikely. If you are considering stopping treatment, ask yourself, Are you feeling bad from the side effects of treatment or from advancing disease or emotionally? Some of these can be treated.

Discuss with your doctor, a counselor or a social worker who can help you weigh your options before you make a final decision.

Caregivers

A caregiver may be a family member, relative, friend or neighbour who provides any form of assistance to a person going through cancer. It is usually not a straightforward progression in becoming a caregiver. You may even feel forced and pressured into taking up the role, have conflicting demands (family or career) or do not really feel close to the person you will be caring for.

Caring can be challenging and when you assume the responsibility, you may need time to adjust to your new role and lifestyle. It is quite natural to have strong emotions; feeling confused and stress is common. You may think the only way to cope is to put aside your own feelings and needs but it will be hard to maintain, and your health may be affected. As a caregiver you have an important role, and you must be healthy and well to perform at your best. A caregiver needs to care for themselves too.


Taking responsibility to care for someone is not an easy task and many caregivers experience strong emotions. It is normal, and acknowledging those feelings and working through them helps you carry out your caregiving commitment better. You may, or may not, go through some of these feelings:

Fear

  • Of not knowing much about the cancer, treatment or doctors
  • Of being responsible for giving medications
  • Of feeling things are out of control
  • Of not knowing how unwell the patient is feeling
  • Of the possibility the person being cared dying

Anger and frustration

  • Towards the extra responsibilities
  • At cancer for interrupting plans
  • At lack of time for personal activities
  • At family and friends for not contributing more help
  • At the patient who do not seem to appreciate your sacrifices and hard work

Loneliness
Being a caregiver may result in less time to socialise and do things that you enjoy. Others may think you have too much to do and visit less or they find difficulty in dealing with someone with cancer. You would likely feel that nobody understands the isolation you are experiencing. Here are some ways to help you overcome loneliness:

  • Maintain contact with family and friends
  • Contact at least someone daily
  • Be open to asking for help; in a way you won’t be alone in doing everything

Guilt

  • For feeling angry
  • For being well while the person you care for is sick
  • For not doing better as a caregiver
  • For wanting a break from caring

Depression
About one in four carers are found to be experiencing depression, which can significantly affect your life. Some symptoms of depression may include:

  • Sadness or emptiness
  • Loss of interest in activities
  • Loss of appetite or weight
  • Sleep problems
  • Continuous fatigue
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Restlessness, worthlessness or guilt

Ways to deal with depression:

  • Try to do something you enjoy every day
  • Get out of bed as soon as you wake up, don’t lie in bed
  • Catch up with people by phone or in person
  • Try exercising at least 30 minutes a day
  • If necessary, seek professional help from a counsellor or doctor

Stress
Being a caregiver can be a stressful responsibility, which usually shows up in headaches, trouble sleeping, high blood pressure and some heart problems. A stressed caregiver may also feel tired, unwell and overly sensitive. Here are some ways to cope with stress:

  • Recognise signs of stress and find ways to manage it
  • Try meditating, reading, listening to music
  • Exercise regularly, if possible
  • Make sure you get enough rest
  • Keeping a diary may be helpful to acknowledge your feelings and release worries/frustrations
  • Accept that it is alright to make mistakes and try again
  • Schedule "quiet time” for yourself. The stress of everyday life can be compounded for family caregivers. You deserve to take some quality time for yourself – schedule a "day-off,” quiet time at home or a day trip to the park.
  • Take charge of your life. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by your loved one’s illness and your new responsibility as a caregiver, but be sure to care for yourself and enjoy time spent with other family members.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for or accept help. Call on family, friends and health care professionals to support you whenever you need it. Talk about issues that concern you, and suggest specific tasks or projects that they can do to help you.
  • Get organized. Create lists – caregiving tasks, chores and household or family duties – to organize your day. You also can make a list of worries to share with someone to clear your head and get their feedback.
  • Learn, learn, learn. Make sure you are educated about your loved one’s illness – knowledge is empowering. Call us (03-2698 7300), visit us or even email us(contact@cancer.org.my) at the NCSM Resource & Wellness Centre.
  • Make time to enjoy the pleasures of the season. Go for a walk in the park, visit the beach, attend a concert, go out for a holiday dinner or take a day to go shopping with a friend. The holidays, while stressful at times, are also full of opportunities for diversion and relaxation.
  • Talk about your feelings. Don’t be afraid to openly acknowledge your caregiving situation or discuss your feelings with family and friends. With proper support and education, caregiving can actually bring families closer together.

Ongoing Patients

For many people diagnosed with cancer, a full recovery and a cancer free life may not be possible. The cancer may have been diagnosed at an advanced stage where treatment cannot guarantee recovery or the cancer has returned. The prognosis is extremely difficult to accept and they experience a lot of mixed emotions. However, after some time, many who are in this situation eventually choose to live the best they can, focusing on the things that matter most.


Coming to terms with the news of advanced cancer brings out many emotions, and it would be healthy if you expressed them rather than hide the emotions.

  • Fear of losing control of your life, depending on others or dying. These fears are normal and talking to others may help.
  • Guilty that you caused cancer or did / did not do enough to keep it from coming back. Remember, cancer can happen to anyone. You may feel bad about having to trouble your family to take care of you, yet most family members will be willing to help out.
  • Angry because you already dealt with cancer earlier.
  • Denying that you have cancer or advanced cancer. If denial stops you from getting treatment, it becomes a problem.
  • Sadness or depression. Talking about how you feel can be helpful but if depression becomes more serious, tell your doctor as medication or counseling may help.
  • Loneliness as you feel nobody understands what you are going through or you are unable to join friends for usual activities.

Hope

Hope is important, possibly the most important element in living well with cancer. Chances of successful recovery may be slim but hope gives you the spirit to fight on. When you have hope, you are more likely to make positive changes in your lifestyle for better health.At different stages of cancer, you may hope for different things. Sometimes, you may just hope for a good day with friends and family. Or you may hope to be pain-free. Some people find hope in doing something they always wanted. Hope can also be related to religious beliefs although it may be hard to explain.

Think Positive

This is most likely to be the most common advice given to people with cancer. While positivity does help in the way you look at life, there is no evidence that positive or negative thinking will influence the outlook of cancer. It is only natural to feel scared, down or lonely when you find out you have to live with cancer. When you are being encouraged to focus on the good, you may end up feeling bad if you express negative feelings. Stopping yourself from acknowledging your true feelings may make coping even harder. Recognising positive or negative feelings does not mean you are losing hope in the journey.

Celebrating Life

People living with advanced cancer often take the opportunity to reflect on their life and all they have accomplished. There are some who want to leave some sort of special item to their family and friends as a memory of themselves – some suggestions may include; putting together a photo album, writing letters, compiling a DVD or others. While there others who take on new challenges or hobbies to simply try out new things and to enjoy the experience. You decide how best you want to lead your life.

Cancer not only changes your life, it has effects on your family and friends as well. Like you, they need time to adjust to the fact and make changes to accommodate you, especially if they are very close to you. It is important that they have adequate information and advice so that they do not feel distressed. There will be some family members or friends who may stay away from you as they are afraid of cancer and how things have changed. Their behaviour can be hurtful, but it is important that you accept that and focus on other people who are beside you through this experience.
People walking alongside you will often offer help but you may find it hard to accept their help all the time. Allow friends to help up to a level you are comfortable with, assure them you appreciate their efforts but you would like to do things on your own sometimes.

Talking to your partner

Your relationship will face some sort of changes because of cancer and studies have found that having a good relationship will benefit both parties throughout the experience. Both of you may have different feelings and attitudes. It is possible to find that as each new event occurs, one of you would be optimistic while the other less hopeful. Some partners will try to protect you and disallow you to do anything on your own, at the same time, some partners will totally ‘tune off’ from what is happening. To find a balance, you may want to work out what you need most from your partner and ask for his / her help. If both of you find difficulty in talking about cancer in your lives, a relationship counselor may be able to help.

Talking to your children

It is understandable that you may not want to let your children know about cancer as it may frighten them. Although younger children may not be able to express themselves, they can sense that something is wrong. If you do not tell them, they could start imagining the worst. Here are some tips to start a conversation with a young child:

  • Listen to the child before you begin, it will give you an idea on how much the child can handle.
  • Explain in simple terms how your situation is like. Communicate feelings as well as facts.
  • Answer their questions honestly and in simple language.
  • Give them feelings of hope, even if things may not be that positive.
  • If possible, explain what will happen next (e.g. treatment, change in routines).
  • Don’t promise anything unless you are sure you can keep it.
  • Try to keep their routine as normal as possible.
  • Your child may become clingy or withdrawn which are normal reactions to deal with their feelings.

Talking to Teenagers

Sometimes parents may think that a teen is able to take care of himself/herself. However, the teen is likely to feel neglected as the family focuses on the sick person. You may notice different behaviour or you cannot understand them. They may be reacting to feelings that are not really aware of, or cannot acknowledge, like anger, guilt or grief. Teenagers react in different ways, from withdrawing to offering to help and assure you of their love.

It is important for teenagers to keep as much of their normal routine as possible. Sometimes this may be hard to manage when you feel unwell. Even if you have a partner, he or she may need to juggle work, caring for you and the family, leaving little time to cater to a teenager’s needs.

  • If you feel upset at your teen’s behaviour, remind yourself that it does not mean that they do not care.
  • Ask them once in a while how they are coping and if they are well informed.
  • It is important to ask if your teen is willing to help with certain duties. Welcome their help but do not expect it.
  • Let them know that although cancer is difficult for them, it also matters that they are around you at times.
  • Provide information or keep them updated but understand that they may not want or need to talk about the cancer.

Talking to Adults

Adults struggle with the news that their parent has cancer. They may feel unable to meet all the needs of their own family, needs at work as well as responsibility to you. At the same time, you may feel discouraged that you are unable to carry on as the head of the family, instead now you need to rely on them. Involving your adult child in decision making or the type of activities you enjoy may help them cope with the situation.

Talking to Parents

Your parents may find it difficult to accept the news that their child has cancer. They feel that it is not natural that they may outlive their children. Sorrow and helplessness will overwhelm them at first as they slowly adjust to the situation. Explaining your condition and giving up-to-date information about treatments may help lessen their fears. You can also try attending a course together about living with cancer.

Talking to Friends

Some people may not have family who are nearby or helpful. In this case, friends are almost always people one can rely on. Some friends are able to listen without complaints, without judging you or without that extra involvement a partner or relative may feel. However, you may find some friends who choose to limit their contact with you to only phone calls or emails. If you feel hurt by them, remember there are still friends who will stand by you.


Advanced cancer usually means a new cycle of treatment, which is most likely different from primary treatment that you had. Although most advanced cancer cannot be cured, some treatments can keep it under control for months or years. In certain cases, treatment is given to control symptoms such as pain. Cancer is looked at as a chronic disease, which can be managed over some time. Types of treatment commonly given can include:

Chemotherapy

  • Using drugs to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells
  • Given over a few hours or days, followed by a rest period of 2-3 weeks
  • Usually given intravenously or as pills
  • Side effects include nausea, depression, tiredness, hair loss

Surgery

  • Removal of tumours, affected organs and relieve discomfort caused by tumours that cause bleeding or obstruct organ functions

Radiotherapy

  • Using x-rays to kill or injure cancer cells to stop them from multiplying
  • Therapy is precisely targeted to the cancer area to prevent harming healthy cells
  • It can shrink tumours or relieve pain from secondary cancer in the bones
  • Side effects include tiredness, skin problems, appetite loss

Hormone therapy

  • Using drugs to surpress the growth of hormones that can cause cancer
  • Commonly given for prostate, breast or uterus cancer
  • Some hormone drugs can promote menopausal symptoms, regardless of age
  • Hormonal drugs that are given if you are past menopause may cause osteoporosis and vaginal dryness
  • For men, hormone therapy can result in hot flushes

Rehabilitation

  • Restoring physical functions with physiotherapy, prostheses, occupational therapy, speech therapy or emotional support (where necessary)
  • Returning to work is also a form of rehabilitation but if you are unable to work full time anymore, you may want to find other activities to fill up your spare time
 
 
 
Survivors

We define ‘cancer survivor’ to be one who has been diagnosed with cancer, from the time of diagnosis through the rest of his or her life. You may be uncomfortable with the term ‘survivor’ or feel that it does not apply but it helps some people think about life beyond their cancer.

When treatment is over, you may think the worst is over and it is time to get back to your normal life. However, most survivors realise that the first few months of post-treatment is a time of change. Usually, things don’t "get back to normal” but there is a new "normal” where you are likely to find new meaning in life and look at things differently. Your new "normal” may mean changing in our ways of life (routines, activities, diet and others).

It is extremely important for all survivors to have follow-up care as knowing what to expect post-treatment helps you and people around you make plans or adjust to necessary changes. Some common questions you may have:

  • Should I tell the doctor about symptoms that worry me?
  • Which doctors should I see after treatment?
  • How often should I see my doctor?
  • What tests do I need?
  • What can be done to relieve pain, fatigue, or other problems after treatment?
  • How long will it take for me to recover and feel more like myself?
  • Is there anything I can or should be doing to keep cancer from coming back?
  • Will I have trouble with health insurance?

Your follow-up care will depend on the type of cancer and type of treatment you had, along with the state of your health. Generally, survivors have a check-up every 3 to 4 months during the first 2 to 3 years after treatment, and once or twice a year after that. During check-ups, your doctor will check for side effects from treatment and if the cancer has returned or spread to another part of your body.

Tests that may be performed during check-ups include:

  • Blood tests
  • MRI or CT scans that take detailed pictures of areas inside the body’s at different angles
  • Endoscopy which uses a thin, lighted tube to examine the inside of the body


An open communication with your doctor is crucial as both of you need as much information as possible to manage your care process. For some people, they may choose to have a different doctor for follow-up care from the doctor who provided treatment. If this is your choice, make sure you have a folder containing all the necessary information, which include:

  • When you were diagnosed
  • Type of cancer and its treatment
  • Pathology report(s) describing the type and stage of cancer
  • Places and dates of specific treatment, such as:
    • details of all surgeries
    • sites and total amount of radiation therapy
    • names and doses of chemotherapy drugs and any other drugs
    • key lab reports, x-ray reports, CT scans and MRI reports
  • Lists of symptoms to watch out for and possible long-term effects of treatment
  • Contact information for all health care professionals involved in your treatment and follow-up care
  • Any problems during or after treatment
  • Supportive care you received (special medicines, emotional support and nutritional supplements)

One of the new "normal” as a survivor would be keeping a close watch on your physical abilities or any changes to your body. At each follow-up session, tell your doctor if you are having any unusual difficulty with everyday activities or any new symptoms so that he or she can help you manage them. Some of the issues to be aware of may include:

  • New symptoms
  • Pain that troubles you
  • Problems that affect your daily life such as tiredness, weight gain or loss, trouble sleeping, sexual problems or others
  • Possible effects of medicines, vitamins, herbs or treatment you are using
  • Other health problems such as heart issues, diabetes or arthritis
  • Emotional problems like anxiety or depression, that you may have now or had in the past
  • Changes in your family’s medical history, such as relatives with cancer
  • New information you want to know of, such as new research or side effects

If you experience a new symptom, it does not mean that the cancer has returned. Symptoms can be due to other problems that need to be addressed.

Many people may feel worried or anxious about a follow-up session. Here are some helpful ideas to get the most out of your visit to the doctor:

  • If possible, have someone come with you. A friend or family member can help you think and understand what was said or may be able to think of new questions to ask.
  • List down your questions before seeing your doctor.
  • Take notes or tape-record the answers, if possible.
  • Describe your problem or concern briefly and tell your doctor how this problem makes you feel. Ask the most important questions first, in case your doctor runs out of time.
  • If you feel you need more time, don’t be afraid to ask your doctor for a longer session at the next appointment.
  • Don’t hesitate to ask your doctor to explain and clarify until you are clear about something.
  • Ask your doctor if he or she has any materials you can bring home to read and understand more.


Cancer and its treatments can change the way you feel. No two people experience the same changes, although the cancer and treatment are the same. Even after treatment has ended, some survivors still cope with certain side effects over some time. Among the common effects include:

Pain

You may or may not experience pain post-treatment. Types of pain may include:

  • Painful scars from surgery
  • Pain or numbness in the hands and feet because of injured nerves, which could have been damaged by chemotherapy
  • Pain in a missing limb or breast, which doctors have yet to figure out

Tell your doctor about the pain you are experiencing. When describing the pain, you can try these methods:

  • Describe if the pain is sharp, dull, throbbing or steady?
  • Point out exactly where it hurts
  • How long does it last? does it improve or get worse at certain times or when you do certain things?
  • Use a scale of 0-10 to describe how bad the pain is
  • How much does the pain affect your daily life?
  • Tell your doctor about medicines you are taking (for any reason). If you are taking pain relief medications, are they helpful?
  • Do the pain relief medications give you side effects such as constipation, other changes in bowel habits, or feeling groggy?

Keep a record of your pain levels so you can check if it changes over time. It can help you see how you respond to any pain relief medication.

After your doctor assesses your pain levels and he / she will find ways to help you cope using:

  • Pain relief medicines. Usually you will be given low dosages / mildest medicines and work up to stronger ones if necessary. To control pain, do not skip doses or wait until you hurt before taking the medicine. Some people may be afraid of being addicted to these medicines but it rarely happens if you take the correct dose and see your doctor regularly.
  • Physical therapy using heat, cold, massage, pressure and/or exercise may help you feel better
  • Some antidepressant medicines are prescribed to reduce pain or numbness from injured nerves
  • Acupuncture which uses needles at pressure points to reduce pain
  • Braces to limit movement of a painful limb or joint
  • Relaxation skills can help relieve pain or reduce stress
  • Hypnosis, meditation or yoga
  • Nerve blocks or surgery can help if you have persistent pain but may put you at risk for other problems

The most common complaint during the first year post-treatment is fatigue or tiredness. This could be caused by cancer therapy. Fatigue can also be attributed to anaemia (lack of red blood cells), a weak immune system, poor nutrition, lack of liquids and depression. Pain can worsen fatigue.

  • The length of fatigue lasting varies from person to person. You may feel frustrated if it does not go away as soon as you thought it would.
  • Some issues may contribute to your fatigue. Do ask your doctor about:
    • Medicines you are taking or other medical problems that may affect your energy level
    • How to control pain, if you experience any
    • Relaxation exercises or other exercise routine (walking)
    • Changing your diet or drinking more fluids
    • Helpful medicines or nutritional supplements
    • Assistance from physical therapists, occupational therapists, nutritionists or mental health care providers
  • You can cope better with fatigue by making some changes in your daily life:
    • Be active at the time you feel your best.
    • Take breaks or short naps between activities.
    • Try to sleep and wake up at the same time daily.
    • Change your way of doing things to save energy e.g. sit while washing dishes.
    • Don’t be shy to get help. For example, doing the laundry, cooking, running errands.
    • Do what you enjoy but do less especially activities that can tire you.
    • You could join a support group to find more ways to cope with fatigue.

Memory / Concentration Changes

  • One in four survivors experience memory and attention problems after chemotherapy, presented in difficulty finding the right word or remembering new things.
  • Research found that people who had chemotherapy or radiation to the head area have higher risk of experiencing memory problems.
  • Sometimes, these issues may be attributed to other factors. Talk to your doctor if:
    • you are still having memory and thinking problems. You can see a specialist about this.
    • you think a medicine could be the reason or contributing to the problem.
    • you think you have depression or anxiety which can affect attention, concentration and memory.
    • you are going through menopause as memory and concentration problems can be related.
  • If you are experiencing memory and concentration issues, here are some ideas to manage:
    • write down your daily "to-do” list. Plan out the whole day, keeping it simple and realistically achievable
    • put notes or signs around the house to remind you of tasks e.g. throwing out rubbish
    • group longer numbers into chunks e.g. 7227 9923 (seventy-two, twenty-seven, ninety-nine, twenty-three)
    • whisper each step of a task to yourself
    • go over once of few times what you plan to say such as names, dates, events etc.
    • repeat to yourself what you want to remember
    • manage stress as learning how to relax can help you remain calm in stressful moments

  • Wear tennis shoes or footwear with rubber soles
  • Be careful when handling knives, scissors and other sharp objects
  • Use thermometer and gloves when you need to check water temperatures

Lymphoedema / Swelling

A part or parts of the body swells due to buildup of lymph fluids. It can be caused by cancer or its treatment and often occurs in the arm, leg, face or neck. Some types of lymphoedema happens right after surgery and do not last long while others occur months or years after cancer treatment and can be painful. Risk of lymphoedema is present in people who have had:

  • Breast cancer – if radiation therapy was done, or underarm lymph nodes removed, or had radiation in the underarm area after removal of lymph nodes.
  • Prostate cancer – if surgery or radiation therapy was done on the whole pelvis.
  • Cancer of the female or male reproductive organs – if surgery was done to remove lymph nodes or radiation therapy was given.
  • Melanoma of the arms or legs – if lymph nodes was removed and / or had radiation therapy.
  • Other cancers that spread to the lower abdominal area- pressure from a growing tumour can cause difficulty for the body to drain fluid

  • Keep the affected arm or leg raised above the chest for periods of time
  • Avoid having injections in the affected area
  • Eat a well-balanced, protein-rich, low-salt diet
  • Watch the area for signs of swelling or infection
  • Keep the affected area free from cuts, insect bites and sunburn
  • Try not to use affected arm or leg to figure out temperatures such as bath water as you may be less able to feel hot and cold

Mouth or Teeth Problems

Radiation treatment or surgery to the head and neck are prone to cause problems to the teeth and gums. It also affects the soft, moist lining of the mouth, glands that make saliva and jawbones. Some related effects from chemotherapy include:

  • Dry mouth
  • Loss of or change in sense of taste
  • Painful mouth and gums
  • Infections in the mouth
  • Dry mouth
  • Cavities and other tooth problems
  • Jaw stiffness or jawbone changes

Managing mouth or teeth problems:

  • Keep your mouth clean (brush after every meal and before bedtime, use an extra soft toothbrush and a mild fluoride toothpaste)
    • Make it a habit to floss your teeth everyday. If there are areas that bleed or hurt, avoid those spots. If you wear dentures, clean, brush and rinse them after meals.
    • Keep your mouth moist (drink a lot of water, suck on ice chips, chew sugarless gum or suck on sugar-free hard candy)
    • If your mouth is sore, stay away from:
  • Hot and spicy food, acidic food and drinks
  • Sharp, crunchy food like chips that may scrape your mouth
  • Sugary food as they cause cavities
  • All tobacco products and alcoholic drinks
  • Toothpicks as they can cut the mouth

Bladder or Bowel Control Problems

Loss of bowel and / or bladder control is very common after treatment for bladder, prostate, colon, rectal, ovarian or other cancers. Some people still have some control but may need to visit the bathroom more often than usual. At the same time, medication can also cause constipation. If you experience these problems, tell your doctor. He / she can teach you Kegel exercises or prescribe medications that may help.

Weight Loss / Gain and Eating Habits

Some chemotherapy drugs or other medicines results in weight gain and these extra pounds stay on even when treatment ends. Breast cancer treatment can cause muscle loss but survivors are likely to gain fat tissue. Take your time in losing the extra weight. Avoid going on crash diets for fast results, but eat healthy and exercise regularly. In time the weight will go off.
At the same time, some survivors lose their appetite, resulting in weight loss which affect their strength and ability to perform daily tasks.

Tips to regain a lost appetite:

  • Eat small meals – 6 small meals a day is easier to manage than 3 large ones
  • Eat your favourite foods – you do not really have to worry about a balanced diet at this time
  • Take a short walk before eating to work up an appetite

Trouble Swallowing

Radiation therapy or chemotherapy may cause you to have difficulty in swallowing, particularly if therapy was given to the head, neck, breast or chest. Surgery involving the larynx may also contribute to this problem. Tips to manage:

  • Process solid foods with a blender
  • Take a sip of water every few minutes to help you swallow and talk more easily

  • Hot flushes which often occur a night. It can affect sleep or cause mood changes. Try these tips to manage hot flushes:
    • Keep yourself hydrated, especially with water
    • A healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise helps you maintain an optimum condition

Menopause can also increase cholesterol, which raises your risk of diseases affecting your heart and blood vessels.

Changes in Body and Intimacy

Cancer and its treatment may leave some short-term or permanent changes to your body. Effects can include scars, skin changes, loss of limbs or changes in weight. You may fear that your appearance has changed and your loved ones, especially children, are afraid of you. If you experience changes in the way you look, these tips may help you cope:

  • If you have a breast form (prosthesis), make sure it fits you well.
  • If radiation caused changes to your skin, ask your doctor how to care for it.
  • Try to recognize that coping with cancer has made you stronger and wiser, and know that you are worth more than how you look or how cancer affected you.

Your relationship and intimate life could be affected by cancer and treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or medications). About half of women who underwent long-term treatment for breast and reproductive organ cancers and many men who had treatment for prostate cancer experience sexual problems. Even emotional issues contribute to sexual problems as survivors may feel anxiety, depression, guilt for having cancer, changes in body image post surgery and stress between you and your partner.
Among the issues involving intimacy include:

  • Struggle with body image after treatment and feeling stressed at being seen without clothes
  • Worry that sex will be painful, unable to perform or feel less attractive
  • Some cancer treatments cause changes in sex organs, which directly changes sex life:
    • unable to maintain an erection after treatment for prostate cancer, penile cancer or testicular
    • women may find it difficult or painful to have sex or experience loss of sensation in their genital area.
  • Women who have menopausal symptoms experience hot flushes, dryness, and tightness in the vagina and / or other problems affecting their desire to have sex.
  • Infertility. If you want children, ask your doctor about possibilities of doing so after treatment.

Sexual issues do not go off on their own. You will require some form of treatment or management methods to improve the situation:

  • Muscle weakness – Kegel exercises strengthen muscles in the genital area. Practice the exercise by controlling your muscles as though you are stopping the flow of urine.
  • Erection problems – certain devices, medications, counseling or surgery may help. There are other approaches but consult your doctor before trying out anything.
  • Vaginal dryness – water based lubricants, vaginal dilators or hormone pills or creams may help.
  • Talking with a counselor/psychologist/sex therapist – if your sexual problems are related to emotions such as stress or body image, talking with professionals may help you and your partner improve intimacy in your relationship.

Being open with your partner on the issues affecting your sex life is the most important step to improve the situation. Talk about your concerns, why you are feeling this way about your sex life and what can possibly help you feel better. If you’re not sure how to start the conversation, you may say something like this:
"I understand that cancer may have affected our sex life and I would really like to know how you feel. Maybe we can work this out together?” It is important that you are open minded to your partner’s point of view.

  • Focus on what your partner said, not what you plan to say in response.
  • Ask questions to help you understand your partner’s views better.
  • Acknowledge that your partner’s views matter.

Tips to feel good about intimacy:

  • Think about what makes you feel confident and attractive
  • Focus on the positive and learn to appreciate your body
  • Be open to changing the ways of being intimate
  • Kisses, hugs, cuddles and touching are small steps towards rediscovering intimacy

Emotions

Being diagnosed with cancer and going through tests and treatments will surely change the way you feel about yourself. Many survivors worry about cancer returning, especially in the first year post-treatment. As time goes by, they usually think of cancer less often. If you find yourself feeling anxious, here are some ways that may help you cope:

  • Acknowledge and express your feelings of worry, sadness, anger or fear. You can talk to someone close, a counselor or write a journal if you prefer not to share.
  • Choose to look at the positive even if it’s a bad time. Focus on keeping yourself as healthy as possible.
  • It’s alright to feel down at times and if you do, let your family or carer know so that they will not worry.
  • Learn and understand as much as possible about your cancer. Studies show that those who are well-informed are more likely to follow treatment plans and recover faster.
  • Find activities that can help you relax and be active as much as you can.

Many survivors have feelings of sadness, tense or anger even after treatment is over. It could be the knowledge of change, going back to life before treatment. This could be a stressful time as they struggle to adjust. For most people, these feelings go away over time but some people have it worse, and it may become depression. Here are some signs of depression:

  • Feeling overwhelmed and out of control
  • Feeling sad, worried and anxious
  • Feeling hopeless or helpless
  • Short-tempered or moody
  • Feeling emotionally numb
  • Difficulty in concentrating
  • Often focusing on worries or problems
  • Feeling guilty or unworthy
  • Difficulty in enjoying everyday things like being with friends or eating
  • Trying to avoid situations that you know are harmless
  • Thinking of hurting yourself

If you find yourself experiencing these feelings for more than 2 weeks, talk to your doctor immediately to improve your situation.

You may feel stress at certain issues such as family, work or finances because you could put them aside during treatment. Now that you are feeling better, you may need to handle these issues. There may be other reasons for your stress and it would be advisable you find ways to manage the stress for a healthier life.

  • Meditation or relaxation can help lower stress as you quiet down your mind. You can also try hypnosis or yoga.

  • Sharing experiences and hearing from people helps strengthens your knowledge that you are not alone.
  • Laughter helps you relax (watch a comedy, read funny jokes etc)

You might also feel lonely post-treatment as your health care team who were with you during treatment is no longer beside you. You may even feel somewhat separated from your family and friends post-treatment. Although they want to help, they may not know how. There are also people who may be scared of cancer and cut off contact with you. If you feel overwhelmed by loneliness, these suggestions may help:

  • Find new support partners (family, friends, other survivors)
  • Ask one of your treatment nurses or doctors if you could call sometimes
  • Join a cancer support group. Find a support group near you here

Imaging

The Diagnostic Imaging Department of Gleneagles Kuala Lumpur is located on the ground floor of the hospital. We provide a diverse range of radiographic services and modern equipment

  1. General Radiography
  2. Ultrasound Examination
  3. Computed Tomography Scan (C.T. Scan)
  4. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  5. Fluoroscopy
  6. Angiography
  7. Non-vascular Interventional Radiology
  8. Mammography
  9. Bone Mineral Densitometry
  
 
01. General Radiography "普通放射诊断" 
This examination uses X-rays to image virtually any body part like a photograph. The X-rays pass through the body and is captured on a film. The equipment may be static or mobile, allowing X-rays to be done by the bedside. 
  
02. Ultrasound Examination  "超声波检查"
Ultrasound is a technique of imaging that uses high frequency sound waves to produce an image of the internal organs and structures of the body. It uses no X-rays. 
 
 
 
 
 
03. Computed Tomography Scan (C.T. Scan) "电脑断层扫描"
C.T. Scan provides an excellent anatomical examination to obtain a comprehensive cross-sectional image of the body, such as head, chest, abdomen and spine. A C.T. scan is an X-ray procedure enhanced by a computer. This results in a two- or three-dimensional view (referred to as a slice or a cross-section) of a particular part of the body.
 
 
 
The MRI system utilizes magnet with a high field super-conducting system and radio-frequency pulses to examine the body’s internal organs. It is the technique of choice for imaging of the brain, spine (Central Nervous System) and musculoskeletal region. No radiation is involved in this procedure.Gleneagles Kuala Lumpur has the 3T MRI so advanced that it means more neurological studies and less of invasive procedures can be done for our patients.

The devices/conditions listed below might prohibit you from having an MRI examination. If you have any of these devices, make sure your physician and the MRI staff are informed. If you have any doubts or questions, be sure to ask.

  • Pacemakers
  • Artificial heart valves
  • Neuro-stimulators
  • Metallic clips used in brain surgery
  • Implanted hearing aids
  • Metal implants
  • Metal shrapnel in your body
  • Metal fragments in your eyes
  • Intra-uterine contraceptives devices
  • Claustrophobia 
 
 
05. Fluoroscopy  "X线透视"  
Fluoroscopy is a mode of imaging any part or organ of the body in a moving form. A continuous X-ray beam is passed through the body part being examined, and is transmitted to a TV-like monitor so that the body part and its motion can be seen in detail. The images can be captured on hard copies.
 
 
06. Angiography    "血管造影"
Angiography is the study of blood vessels which involves the injection of a radio-opaque ‘dye’ into a vessel via a specially shaped tube called a catheter, and taking X-ray images in rapid succession. Abnormal vessels and tumours can be studied this way. Abnormally formed vessels (malformation) such as stenotic vessels and aneurysms are some of the examples of blood vessel diseases.
 
07. Non-vascular Interventional Radiology  "非血管介入放射科"
Non-vascular interventional radiology has come to play an increasingly important part in the day-to-day work of the department. This trend is expected to continue with current developments in patient management. It is a "minimally invasive technique” that involves the treatment of conditions such as drainage of abscess, blocked urinary system and biliary tracts. The radiologists perform these procedures using X-rays, ultrasound or C.T. to guide them. 
 
 
08. Mammography "乳房X光检查"  
This examination uses low dose X-rays to produce internal images of the breasts. It is usually used in breast cancer screening to detect tumours.
 
 
09. Bone Mineral Densitometry  "骨质密度"  
Bone densitometry is an enhanced form of X-ray technology that is used to measure bone loss. This examination is most often used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition that involves a gradual loss of calcium. It is also used to detect structural changes which may cause the bone to become thinner, more fragile and more likely to break. This test is also effective in tracking the effects of treatment for osteoporosis and other conditions that cause bone loss.

Why Choose Malaysia As My Second Home

This program is initiated, organized and launched by the Malaysian Government. It is therefore a program the Government will continuously work to ensure its success.

Standard of Living

Malaysia has one of the highest standards of living in the region with all the modern infrastructure and facilities in place.

Cost of living is one of the lowest in Asia and will remain so for a long time. This is achieved through the Government’s efficient management of the economy in ensuring that inflation is kept low at all times and thereby the prices of goods and services.

Weather

The weather is pleasant, warm and balmy with moderate rain throughout the year. There are also highlands residential areas and resorts with permanent spring–like weather throughout the year. While the weather by the beaches is warm and breezy.

Residence

There are quality residences – terrace and semi detached houses, bungalows, apartments and condominiums throughout the country. There are also some of the finest residences available in the tourism zones – on beaches, near jungles, and near theme parks and city centers.  

People

Here you would discover a delightful fusion of three of Asia’s oldest civilizations – Malays, Chinese and Indians. A potpourri enriched with indigenous traditions of the Kadazans, Ibans and other ethnic communities of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Added with the influence of the British, Portuguese, Dutch and Thais, Malaysians are indeed a blend of diverse cultures.

Infrastructure

The entire country is well connected with up-to-date, modern road, rail, sea and air transportation system. Public transportation by buses , taxis and trains are comfortable, efficient and very affordable.

Food and Fruits

Malaysia offers a variety of local and international food to suit all tastes and budgets.

Similarly the tropical fruits of Malaysia are unique, exotic and available in abundance practically throughout the year.

Recreation & Entertainment

The country has everything for the family,-theme parks, jungle trails/sports, water sports and one of the highest numbers of golf courses – ratio or population, approximately 200 and is regarded as a paradise for golf enthusiasts.

 
Shopping

Most of the items that tourists normally like to buy – perfumes, cosmetics, watches, fountain pens, a long list of electronic goods, branded goods etc. are completely free of tax. Quality goods from all over the world are imported and are relatively low in price and sold throughout Malaysia.

Education

The country has one of the best developed and quality education systems – both public and private. It is the place for quality education right from nursery right up the highest level of university education. There are international schools of repute in all major towns with English as a medium of instruction There are also private collages and universities offering twinning programmes with other well known universities and  major collages from throughout the world.
