Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer

Dr. Jojo V Joseph, a senior oncologist at Caritas Hospital, has been treating cancer for 25 years. He has performed over 20,000 surgeries and helped many patients return to health. He recently addressed common myths about cancer and discussed the latest treatments. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed type of cancer. In recent years, there has also been an increase in cases of rectal and intestinal cancers. Some signs of cancer include sudden weight loss, painless lumps, blood in urine or stool, mouth ulcers lasting longer than three weeks, and a persistent cough. If cancer is detected early, there is a 98% chance of treating it successfully. Lifestyle choices play a significant role in the rise of intestinal and rectal cancers. The World Health Organization warns that a sedentary lifestyle is very harmful. Eating healthy and regular exercise can help lower cancer risk. Many people wonder if mobile phones cause cancer. Dr. Joseph confirms that this is not true. He emphasizes that cancer is not contagious and is not solely inherited. In fact, giving up sugar does not prevent cancer. He advises that having a family history of cancer should not discourage marriage proposals, as it is not necessarily a genetic disease.
