GRAB THE CRAB – BREAST CANCER AWARENESS RUN ORGANIZED BY VIJAYA GROUP OF HOSPITALS, CHENNAI

Vijaya Group of Hospitals, Chennai had organized a Marathon Grab the Crab

An Awareness Run for Breast Cancer on 12^th October, 2019 at Besant Nagar. The 5 Km annual run by Vijaya Hospitals was conducted to spread awareness about Breast Cancer. It aims to promote the concept of early detection for timely intervention relating to the treatment of breast cancer. The run was flagged by Master Sharvesh, the 7 year old Young Runner from Chennai in the presence of the Managing Trustee & CEO – Smt.B.Bharathi Reddy and Trustee Smt.Aradhana Reddy.

The run had over 500 participants and mainly aimed at insisting on people to know that early detection of breast cancer takes a long way in preventing complications. Our Hospital possesses state-of-the art ‘Breast Clinic’ facility which is a one stop for detection and treatment of breast cancer. All participants in this run were offered special discounts on Preventive Health Check Packages and breast health check for women. Cash prizes were given to the first three runners and finisher medals for all participants.

Facts that we need to be aware about breast cancer include:

·         Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and the         second-most common cancer overall

              Today, about 1 in 8 women (12%) will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.

·         Most women with breast cancer don’t have these other risk factors. All women are    at risk for breast cancer and your risk only increases as you get older.

·         Breast cancer can affect women of all ages (not necessarily the older women).      Early detection can help reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer by 30     to  40% among women ages 40 to 70.

Breast cancer is one of those ailments that can be stressful not only for the affected women, but also for their families and friends. Hence this event encouraged people of all age groups to come and be part of this social cause. This run “Grab the Crab” was an attempt to make a difference and support for the fight against breast cancer, a disease which affects millions of people every year

LIMA, performs scarless endoscopic breast surgery, a first of its kind technique in South India

What could be very disturbing for a woman is not only being diagnosed with lumps or tumors on the breast but the scar that will remain after surgery. Scars in the breast or neck are hugely damaging to a woman’s self-esteem. Inorder to provide a solution to this, Lifeline Institute of Minimal Access (LIMA) has developed a revolutionary alternative technique, endoscopic breast surgery through which the lumps or tumors from breast can be removed without scars.

For the past two decades endoscopic surgery has dominated the field of general, gastrointestinal, urological and gynecological surgeries. A group of surgeons from LIMA performed an endoscopic lumpectomy for a 26 year-old woman from West Bengal. This is a first of its kind procedure performed in South India.

The principle of endoscopic lumpectomy is to access the breast through the axilla, or the armpit, using its skin lines in order to avoid scars. The target lesion or lump is accessed by endoscopically creating a tunnel of dissection. After removal of the lump, the specimen is taken out through the armpit, leaving no scars at all on the breast. This type of surgery is also known as stealth surgery, as the surgeon steals away the target lump, with no visible scars.

“First popularized in Stanford, there has been very little publication from the Indian subcontinent in this matter so far. Not many were aware of this technique and lots of young women hesitate to undergo a surgery for lump removal or thyroid. However, a series of 13 patients underwent stealth surgery for thyroid disease in the same institution, LIMA, under the same group, and the paper has been sent for publication,” says Dr. J S Rajkumar, Chairman and Chief Surgeon, LIMA Hospital

Women these days are eager to befit, healthy and flawless. Many women who undergo surgical procedures on breast or neck may beparanoid about the scar marks that will affect their looks or self-esteem.“There have been cases of depression post surgeries and women find it tough to cope with the post surgery trauma. Understanding the impact it has on one’s mental health, we have come up with this new technique that not only cures the individual physically, but gives them confidence post-surgery. The procedure requires just one sitting andtherefore very  easy, cost-effectiveand time saving for the patient, says Dr. Anirudh Rajkumar General Laparoscopic & Bariatric Surgeon

The breast and thyroid, so far outside the ambit of endoscopic surgery, are now also within the field of endoscopy, thereby permitting younger and scar conscious patients an option of ‘stealth ‘ or scar less surgery.
