BRCA Positive? What It Means for Family Members

Whenever a breast cancer diagnosis happens in a family, the most common concern is:
“Kya yeh genetic hai? Kya yeh family mein sabko ho sakta hai?”

Dr. Vineeta Goel explains an important fact —
👉 Breast cancer is NOT always genetic.
Having one family member with breast cancer does not automatically mean others will develop it.

Who should consider genetic testing?

✔️ Genetic testing is usually recommended only if the index patient tests positive
✔️ Testing is done through a blood sample (germline test)
✔️ Pre-test counselling by a trained professional is essential

Who benefits from genetic testing?

✔️ The patient — helps guide treatment decisions
✔️ Family members — helps understand future risk

If a patient is gene-positive and has young daughters, risk can be reduced with:
• Active lifestyle
• Breastfeeding
• Limiting long-term oral contraceptive use
• Regular screening
• In selected cases, prophylactic surgery

Also, BRCA is not the only gene linked to breast cancer — many other genes may be involved.
That’s why genetic counselling is crucial before and after testing.

Awareness reduces fear. Right information leads to right decisions.

Getting a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and it’s natural to have questions about the right treatment path. Different specialists may offer varied perspectives, which can sometimes create confusion for patients and families.

This is where a tumor board approach plays a crucial role. A multidisciplinary team of experts reviews each case together, combining experience and evidence-based guidelines to design the most appropriate and personalized treatment plan.

Collaborative decision-making ensures that every patient receives comprehensive, well-informed care — because the right plan starts with the right discussion.

Some symptoms are easy to ignore — but your body may be trying to tell you something important.

Re**al cancer often develops silently, and early signs like bleeding, bowel changes, or persistent fatigue should never be overlooked. Early evaluation can lead to earlier diagnosis and better outcomes.

If you or a loved one notice any of these symptoms, seek medical advice promptly. Early detection saves lives.

Don’t Miss This Vaccine for Your Daughter.

Are there any medicines or injections that can prevent cancer?

Dr. Vineeta Goel shares an important and hopeful message:
Yes, there is a vaccine that can help prevent cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women.
Today, we have the HPV vaccine, which significantly reduces the risk of developing cervical cancer.

Who should get it?

✔️ Girls aged 9–14 years → Preferably 2 doses
✔️ Girls and unmarried women aged 15–25 years → 3 doses

We routinely vaccinate our children against TB, Typhoid, and Tetanus.
It’s time we add cervical cancer prevention to that list.

This is one of the most powerful tools in cancer prevention.
Early vaccination can protect future generations.

Nothing beats the good news that cancer prevention is possible.

Always consult your doctor for proper guidance.

Survival Kitna Hai? NOT JUST YEARS but this ..... as well

One of the most common and emotional questions during cancer treatment is:
“Survival kitna hai?”

Dr. Vineeta Goel explains that while survival and longevity are important,
quality of life is equally important — and should never be ignored.

In many advanced cancers, especially when cancer spreads to the bones or brain,
radiation therapy plays a crucial role.

Radiation in such situations helps:
✔️ Reduce severe pain
✔️ Improve neurological symptoms
✔️ Provide significant symptomatic relief
✔️ Reduce dependency on strong pain medicines

For many patients, this means:
👉 Less pain
👉 Better mobility
👉 Improved comfort
👉 A more dignified and meaningful life

Cancer care is not only about how long you live,
but also how well you live.

Always discuss treatment goals with your oncologist —
focusing on both survival AND quality of life.
