When suffering from cancer, the location, type, and spread of cancer determine which stage it is at. In stage III, the cancer does not spread to distant lymph nodes (M0) but it does spread to the nearby lymph nodes. This stage has classifications based on the N and T components. Stage IIIA Stage IIIA has two variations. The first is a score of T1/T2 N1/N1c M0. This indicates that cancer has grown through the mucosa and into the submucosa (T1) or even further into the muscularis propria (T2). The N component indicates that cancer has affected either the fat near the lymph nodes or only one to three of the nearby lymph nodes. The second variation has a score of T1 N2a and M0. This indicates that cancer has grown through the mucosa and into the submucosa (T1) and spread to four to six nearby lymph nodes (N2a). Stage IIIB Stage IIIB also has three variations T3/T4a N1/N1c M0, T2/T3 N2a M0, and T1/T2 N2b M0. The M0 indicates that in this stage cancer has not spread to the distant lymph nodes. T3 indicates that cancer has grown into the outermost layers of the colon or rectum while T4a is cancer through the visceral peritoneum.

When one is diagnosed with osteoporosis or they show the early signs of osteoporosis, a doctor might prescribe certain exercises and lifestyle treatments for the condition. In most cases, it is found that many people who have suffered a fracture avoid exercising due to the fear of additional fractures. Although the likelihood of fractures is higher for those who have suffered them earlier, staying active is important, so the patients of osteoporosis must follow an active fitness routine. There are two types of exercises for building and maintaining bone density: weight-bearing exercises and muscle-strengthening exercises. In terms of lifestyle treatments for osteoporosis, doctors advise raising one’s bone density levels and prevent falls in addition to following a regular exercising regime. Bones are living tissues that respond to exercise and become stronger, and exercising also helps maintain muscle strength, coordination, and balance. Exercising should be an enjoyable activity so that the overall bone health is improved for a person with osteoporosis. At the same time, osteoporosis patients are strictly advised to stay away from high-impact weight-bearing exercises or movements. So, dancing, aerobics, hiking, running, stair climbing, jumping rope, and tennis should be avoided. Here are simple exercises that can act as lifestyle treatments for osteoporosis and help manage the signs of the condition:

Cervical cancer is deadly but silent; you will hardly notice the early warning signs and symptoms of cervical cancer. As a result, treating it in its earlier stages is never possible. This slow-progressing condition usually has no visible symptoms in the initial stages. Yet, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), almost 11,000 people in the country are diagnosed with it every year. Women get diagnosed with cervical cancer when the human papillomavirus (HPV) gets transmitted during sexual intercourse. This virus affects around 79 million people and can be found in almost 93% of cervical cancer cases. Besides this virus, some other conditions contribute to this deadly disease, like inadequate nutrition, pregnancy, smoking, and a weak immune system. Although HPV may be common, most people do not have any symptoms as the body has a resilient immune system that is capable of clearing it in a few years. But, in some cases, there are HPV strains that alter cells inside the cervix, creating cancer cells. How to prevent cervical cancer: The early warning signs and symptoms of cervical cancer are usually not noticeable. However, preventing this cancer may not be as hard if you know what to do. HPV is a leading cause of cervical cancer.

Deep vein thrombosis is a condition in which blood clots are formed in deep veins of the legs. This condition is caused due to various factors and the main one is due to immobility. When deep vein thrombosis early warning symptoms are left unnoticed, it leads to a life-threatening situation called pulmonary embolism. Diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis Based on the deep vein thrombosis early warning symptoms, your doctor will conduct a physical examination to check inflammation, discoloration, and the presence of clots. Here are a few tests to diagnose deep vein thrombosis. Ultrasound Ultrasound images of the affected area are captured with sound waves that are passed through a wandlike device called a transducer. These captured images show the presence of clots with the details of its size and position. Multiple ultrasounds are performed for a few days or weeks to monitor the growth of blood clots. Blood test A blood test is done to check the level of D dimer. D dimer levels are usually high in patients suffering from deep vein thrombosis. Venography When ultrasound images are unclear venography is performed. In this procedure, the large vein of the foot or ankle is injected with a dye.
