Persistent irritation inside the mouth should never be ignored. Repeated trauma caused by sharp or broken teeth, ill-fitting dentures, or long-standing oral wounds can gradually damage the oral lining and increase the risk of oral cancer. Over time, this continuous irritation may trigger abnormal cell changes.

Maintaining proper oral hygiene, addressing dental issues promptly, and scheduling regular oral check-ups are key steps in prevention and early detection.

In this video, Dr. Vineeta Goel, Senior Director & HOD – Radiation Oncology, Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, shares expert insights on how chronic mouth irritation can impact oral health and why timely intervention matters.

When should you consult a radiation oncologist?

Radiation oncology plays a vital role in cancer care—not only for treatment, but also for symptom relief and organ preservation.

A radiation oncologist may be involved when a solid tumor is diagnosed, when radiation is recommended as part of treatment, or when advanced cancer requires targeted therapy to improve quality of life.

Every treatment plan is personalized. Early consultation helps ensure the most effective and precise approach.

If you or a loved one has been advised radiation therapy, consult a radiation oncologist to understand the best treatment options.

Breastfeeding is known to provide a natural defense against breast cancer. It helps regulate hormones, reduces lifetime exposure to estrogen, and promotes the shedding of breast tissue, which may help remove cells with potential DNA damage. Along with nourishing the baby, breastfeeding supports long-term health and lowers the mother’s risk of developing breast cancer.

Here’s Dr. Vineeta Goel, Senior Director and HOD Radiation Oncology, Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, providing further insights on this topic.

“Don’t ignore the signs your mouth is trying to show you.”

Oral cancer often begins with subtle signs that many people ignore.
Recognising these early symptoms can make a life-changing difference.

Watch out for:
• Mouth sores that don’t heal
• Rough or thick patches
• Pain or numbness in the mouth
• Difficulty moving the tongue or jaw
• Unexplained weight loss
• Persistent earaches
• Chronic bad breath

Early detection leads to better outcomes.
If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.

Raising awareness today can save lives tomorrow.

Before cancer treatment… ask THIS one question!

When cancer is diagnosed, patients and families naturally slip into fear, stress, and urgency.
Everyone wants to start treatment immediately — biopsy, PET scan, MRI, meeting an oncologist…
And yes, all of this is important.

But there’s one equally important step most people forget:

👉 “Is my case discussed in a Tumor Board?”

A Tumor Board is a team of specialists —
✔️ Medical Oncologist
✔️ Radiation Oncologist
✔️ Surgical Oncologist

They sit together, review your reports, and decide the best, safest, and most optimal treatment plan.

Because for the same cancer, there can be 2–3 equally valid treatment options —
A Tumor Board ensures you get the most accurate, evidence-based approach.

So before rushing into treatment,
always ask your doctor for a Tumor Board discussion.
It can completely change the direction and outcome of your care.

Awareness = empowerment.
Make informed decisions for the best results. 💙

Most of us grew up learning that lung cancer happens only in smokers.
But today’s reality is very different.

Dr. Vineeta Goel explains that a large number of non-smokers, especially women, are getting lung cancer — even when they:
✔️ Don’t smoke
✔️ Aren’t passive smokers
✔️ Have zero exposure to second-hand smoke

So what changed?
One major reason is the sharp rise in air pollution.
Pollution damages our lungs, weakens their natural defence, and significantly increases the risk of lung cancer over time.

In simple words →
Lung cancer is no longer just a “smoker’s disease.”

To protect yourself:
👉 Wear appropriate masks in high-pollution areas
👉 Avoid outdoor activities on high AQI days
👉 Keep windows closed during peak smog
👉 Prioritise lung health and early check-ups

Awareness can save lives.
Protect your lungs. Protect your future. 💙

Dr. Vineeta Goel’s insightful article was recently published in The Times of India, where she emphasized one of the most powerful yet lesser-known ways women can protect themselves against breast cancer — breastfeeding and adopting a healthy lifestyle.

In the article, Dr. Vineeta explains that breastfeeding works like a woman’s natural vaccine against breast cancer. When a woman breastfeeds, her estrogen levels decrease, which in turn lowers the risk of developing breast cancer. She adds that the longer the duration of breastfeeding, the greater the protection.

Dr. Vineeta further highlights that even one year of breastfeeding can reduce breast cancer risk by nearly 4%, including in women who may already be at higher risk due to family history or genetic factors.

Along with breastfeeding, she stresses the importance of:
✔ Maintaining a healthy weight
✔ Regular exercise and yoga
✔ Avoiding alcohol and smoking
✔ Prioritizing annual mammograms and monthly breast self-exams

Her article also reassures women that with advancements in medical treatment, early-detected breast cancer is highly treatable, often requiring less intensive therapies.

This publication by The Times of India reinforces Dr. Vineeta Goel’s commitment to spreading awareness and empowering women with credible, actionable health information.

What increases the risk of Breast Cancer?
Understanding the factors that contribute to breast cancer can help you stay proactive about your health.

🔸 Aging – Risk naturally increases as we grow older.
🔸 Alcohol Consumption – Excessive drinking can significantly raise the risk.
🔸 Dense Breast Tissue – Makes abnormal cell growth more likely.
🔸 Early Menstruation – Starting periods before age 12 increases lifetime hormonal exposure.

Awareness leads to early action and early action saves lives.
If you notice any changes in your breast health, consult a specialist without delay.
