Myth: Cancer is a fatal disease with
no chance of cure.
Fact:
Cancer is a treatable disease. If diagnosed early, most types of cancer can be
completely cured. Even in advanced stage cancer, much can be done to alleviate
symptoms and prolong survival. It is a chronic disease like Bronchial Asthma or
Diabetes which are also not curable.
Myth: Most cancers are hereditary.
Fact:
It’s estimated that only 5% to 10% of all cancers are truly hereditary. Tests
can now determine if a person with a strong family history of breast or colon
cancer carries the altered genes that put him or her at high risk for these
diseases
Myth: Cancer is contagious.
Fact: Cancer is not contagious. Cancer afflicted person in fact needs
your love and moral support to fight the disease. Rather a person suffering
from cancer may need your love and support to fight the dreadful disease.
Though cancer is not contagious some of the viruses like Hepatitis C virus
which cause liver cancer and Human Papilloma Virus which cause cervical cancer are
transmitted sexually as well as through infected needle
Myth: Only people with a high
risk of cancer need to get cancer screening.
Fact:
No. All adults should get regular cancer screening exams
Myth: Chewing tobacco, snuff is a safe
alternative to cigarettes.
Fact:
There is nothing healthy about snuff and chewing tobacco. They are just as
addictive as cigarettes and can cause cancers of the throat and mouth.
Myth: If I have smoked for some years, the damage is already done, so quitting
is not beneficial.Fact: No, it is never too late to quit smoking. There will be improvement in
the lung function and blood flow after smoking is quit. The risk of lung cancer
also starts decreasing once smoking is quit. By 10 years it reduces to 50%.
Myth: If there is no case of breast
cancer in my family I need worry about it afflicting me.
Fact: The truth is the majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer
don't have a family history of breast cancer. However, having it in your
maternal relatives increases your risk of getting it. Hence early screening is
advised
Myth: Only
women get breast cancer.
Fact: This is by far the biggest cancer myth of all. Men do get
breast cancer though uncommon.
Myth:
Chemotherapy drugs usually cause death and avoiding these drugs is a better
option when they are needed.
Fact:
Selection of Chemotherapeutic drugs and their dosage is done by experts looking
at the diagnosis and general condition of the patient. Rarely complications do
occur. But risks should be weighed against benefits. Better talk to your doctor
before denying the chance of cure.
Myth:
Radiotherapy means giving electric shock and it burns the skin and internal
organs.
Fact: Radiotherapy
is using high energy X rays and with the latest technologies no such toxicities
occur.
Myth:
Patient receiving radiotherapy is harmful to his family members and Children.
Fact: A
person is totally safe after he comes out of Radiotherapy treatment room and
donot harbor any radiation.
Myth: Radiotherapy
causes hair fall
Fact: Radiotherapy
causes hair fall in the area that is treated not generalized as with
chemotherapy.
