UNDERSTANDING CANCER

It is important to know everything possible about cancer when fighting it. Cancer occurs when abnormal cells (out of control) develop in the body and continuously reproduce. There is no known clear cause of cancer, but excessive exposure to carcinogens (hormones, viruses, pollutants, radiation, smoking, alcohol) are known to change the DNA structure (mutations) in our cells and play a part in cancer development.

In most forms of cancer, the abnormal cells will clump together and form a growth (or lump). From here the cancer cells spread out into the body and start attacking healthy cells. To cure cancer, these abnormal cells must be completely eradicated. There are several ways of doing this, and one of the most common and effective way is chemotherapy.

HOW CHEMOTHERAPY FIGHTS CANCER

Chemotherapy is a powerful medication administered through drips or tablets to eradicate cancer cells from the body. While effective, chemotherapy can be tough on patients because of its side effects on the normal cells.

At Forest Park Specialised Hospital, chemotherapy is administered by trained nurses under doctor’s supervision.  Our oncology team always works with patients to explore a variety of treatment and determine the best one for them.

• Treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, bio-therapy and hormonal therapy.

Ophthalmologists are responsible for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of almost all eye conditions and visual issues.

However, ophthalmologists tend to treat and monitor certain conditions, such as:

• glaucoma
• retinal conditions, such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy
• corneal conditions
• cataracts
• cases involving children or childhood eye conditions
• cases with a neurological cause or component, such as optic nerve problems, abnormal eye movements, double vision, and some kinds of vision loss
• cases involving complex surgical procedures, such as reconstructive surgery or advanced vision repair

Aside from caring for the eyes and vision, our ophthalmologist’s medical training may also equip them to notice symptoms of conditions that do not directly relate to the eye. In such cases, they can refer people for the appropriate treatment.

• Ophthalmologists also participate in some form of scientific research focusing on the causes of eye and vision conditions, as well as potential cures.
