You maybe interested in knowing that:
1️⃣A glass of wine/alcohol was never good for the heart. It was the healthy lifestyle of light drinkers that went along with it that helped them survive longer than those who did not drink
2️⃣Wine and beer are also alcohol. There is no safer alcohol, safe alcohol or harmful alcohol. All alcohol is unsafe and there is no safe limit ofalcohol that benefits health
3️⃣Alcohol (ethanol) is one of the most potent cancer causing substances there is, on Earth. So much that at low doses of alcohol consumption (i.e., ≤1 drink/day) the risk is increased by about 20% for oral and throat cancer and 30% for esophageal (food pipe) squamous cell cancer
4️⃣One glass of alcohol daily can damage specific centers in your brain that prevents you from making new and established memories
5️⃣The only "liver detox" that works to heal the liver from alcohol-liver injury is abstinence from alcohol
6️⃣In those with metabolic disease (diabetes, high blood pressure, high lipids, overweight/obesity) even occassional use of alcohol can promote cirrhosis of liver and worse, predispose to >20 types of cancer
7️⃣Just because you grand-uncle chugged alcohol his whole life and died at 101 years does not mean you'll live to see that age by consuming alcohol. Your uncle had those very rare "good genes" that you and many of us may not have. You could die at 30 years of age with alcohol use.
8️⃣If you are having one alcohol drink a year, that does not mean you are fine, it means that you are at risk of having low quality sperms, DNA damage to sperms, increased risk of cancer, including breast cancer, and brain degeration, once a year.
9️⃣Avoiding alcohol consumption can reverse fatty liver disease (due to alcohol) in 2 weeks time, only for it to come back if you restart drinking again
🔟Once liver scarring (fibrosis) sets in due to continued use of alcohol, even the scarring can be reversed and liver nursed back to normal just by avoiding alcohol
1️⃣1️⃣In those with advanced scarring and cirrhosis due to alcohol use, avoiding alcohol results in regression/reversal of cirrhosis - yes, the liver is a marvellously conquering organ if you give it a chance

A survey among Young Medical Oncologists in India has found 70% burnout rates and was presented at Indian Cancer Congress 2023.
It is important that we empower each trainee to create the strengths and resilience to create Joy within and around
@ijmpo@sajconline@ISMPOofficial
Happiness must not be the Outcome of your Clinical work🌼
Your Clinical work must be the Outcome of your Happiness ❤
Your Inner Breeze is only solution to Burn out😞
That Joyful breeze arises within when you invest in Time with Family, Hobbies, Yoga, Sports and Nature 🌿🍃

Driving novel and cost effective therapies globally for breast cancer … as always an amazing lecture by dr badwe. @BalcoMedical @AnilAgarwalF thought provoking questions .. will surgery have a role for a subset of breast cancers with excellent response to Neoadjuvant Tx
🚨 🚨 🚨
Should cancers of the esophagogastric junction be managed as esophageal cancers or gastric cancers?
What is the adequate lymphadenectomy template?
NACTRT vs FLOT?
Are they a different entity altogether requiring a unique approach?
Lets explore…🧵

I recommend to everyone who is involved in Oncology to learn Yoga.
Within ourselves, we need deep understanding of inner strengths each one of us have in responding to whatever situation Life brings.
Oncology is overwhelming often. We need to stay Strong for our patients🙏🏽
What did the Oncologist and the poor patient with Adenocarcinoma Lung stage 4 do when he/she came for review with NGS reports ?
They MET ,had small tALK and had a big regRET that the drugs are much unaffordable.

Haapy to share our GTN data
Two sub-groups need careful attention:
1) Low risk GTN with WHO score of 5/6 and risk of resistance to single agent chemotherapy 2) Ultra high- risk GTN
