Celebrity Cancer Stories | Episode 14: Robert De Niro - How Screening Changed His Life
Explained by Dr. Santosh Kumar, Consultant - Medical Oncology & Haemato-oncology, STAR Hospitals, Hyderabad.

In 2003, Robert De Niro received a prostate cancer diagnosis, not because he had symptoms, but through a routine PSA test. He chose to act quickly, undergoing surgery that helped him recover fully without needing chemotherapy or radiation. Just months later, he returned to acting and continued building an incredible career.

His story reminds us: early detection through routine screening can make all the difference. It’s a step that can protect health before problems even begin.

Asthma can strike harder during the monsoon season.
If you find yourself coughing more than usual, feeling chest tightness, losing sleep due to breathlessness, hearing wheezing, or using your inhaler more frequently, it might be your asthma reacting to the weather.

At STAR Hospitals, our expert pulmonologists offer thorough assessments and personalised treatment plans designed to help you manage your asthma effectively, especially in challenging weather.

Take extra care this monsoon: avoid damp spaces, carry your inhaler, stick to your treatment, and consult your doctor if symptoms worsen.

Don’t wait for symptoms to escalate. Early care makes all the difference.

That stubborn headache and blocked nose may not be a simple cold.
Monsoon weather often triggers or worsens sinusitis - an inflammation of the sinuses that causes facial pain, pressure behind the eyes, nasal congestion, and even low-grade fever. Many people mistake these signs for a regular seasonal flu, delaying care and increasing the risk of chronic infections. At STAR Hospitals, our expert ENT team helps you identify the root cause and offers personalized treatment plans that relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence. Whether it's medical therapy or advanced procedures, our approach is centered around accurate diagnosis and long-term relief. Don’t ignore the signs — your sinuses may be telling you something important.

Wheezing? Persistent Cough? It’s Not Always “Just a Cold.”
The monsoon season may cool the temperature, but it increases the burden on your lungs. Moisture in the air, poor indoor air quality, and dust accumulation often lead to serious respiratory issues — especially in children, older adults, and those with pre-existing conditions.
Coughing, fatigue, shortness of breath, or a heavy chest could point to more than just seasonal changes. Fungus and mould exposure indoors can go unnoticed and cause long-term harm.

Don’t self-diagnose or wait for symptoms to worsen.
Book a consultation with STAR Hospitals’ pulmonology team. Early diagnosis can protect your lungs and improve recovery.

Delicate, yet the most powerful organ - the human brain. It holds our thoughts, memories, identity - everything that makes us us. In the hands of a neurosurgeon, it is not just anatomy - it is a person’s entire world, says Dr. P. Vishwak Sena Reddy, Senior Consultant, Neurosurgery at STAR Hospitals.

Dr. Ajay Reddy, Sr. Consultant, Neurosurgery, STAR Hospitals, explains how to differentiate between a common headache and a potentially serious neurological issue.
While most headaches arise from stress, dehydration, or sleep deprivation and resolve within a day or two, some may indicate more serious concerns. Thunderclap headaches, progressive headaches lasting days to weeks, or those accompanied by symptoms like blurred vision, vomiting, limb weakness, or disturbed sleep demand immediate medical attention.
Headaches that disrupt sleep or worsen over time should never be ignored. A timely consultation can be life-saving.

At STAR Hospitals, we offer advanced neurodiagnostics and expert evaluation for chronic and acute headaches. When in doubt, seek a specialist.

Can brain cells regenerate?

Yes, Through neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. Dr. Sundeep M, Sr. Consultant – Neurosurgery, STAR Hospitals, explains how the brain can form new neurons and connections, especially in response to injury, stroke, or trauma.

Physical activity, quality sleep, mental engagement, and proper nutrition all support brain cell regeneration and recovery.

At STAR Hospitals, we’re committed to science-led neuro care that supports healing and long-term cognitive health.

Dr. B. Santhosh Kumar, Sr. Consultant – Neurology, STAR Hospitals, shares a crucial reminder this World Brain Day.
Excessive screen time; whether for work, entertainment, or scrolling can overstimulate your brain, disrupt sleep cycles, cause digital eye strain, and contribute to headaches, brain fog, and poor attention spans. Taking regular breaks, following the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds), and limiting screen use before bed are small changes that can protect your brain’s health in the long run.
At STAR Hospitals, we focus on promoting healthy brain habits across all age groups because brain health is central to overall wellness.

We often link sugar to diabetes and weight gain, but the real danger might be deeper and silent. Studies now show that excessive sugar intake can interfere with brain function, leading to poor memory, mental fatigue, and even a higher risk of neurodegenerative conditions.

Dr. M.L. Neeharika, Sr. Consultant , Neurology at STAR Hospitals, sheds light on how high sugar consumption affects your brain from altering neurotransmitters to triggering inflammation.

This World Brain Day, let’s look beyond the usual suspects and rethink our sugar habits, not just for physical health, but for long-term brain function and quality of life.

Dr. Syed Osman, Sr. Consultant – Neurology, STAR Hospitals, explains why deep sleep is critical for brain function.
During sleep, the brain doesn’t rest- it actively cleans itself by clearing toxins, locking in memories, and resetting focus and mood. Skimping on sleep (less than 6 hours) is like running a phone on 10% battery, it drains you faster and damages long-term function. Dr. Osman advises maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and a cool, quiet bedroom environment. Most importantly, prioritise sleep, not as a luxury, but as a neurological necessity.
At STAR Hospitals, we advocate for holistic neurological care, where lifestyle choices like sleep play a key role in long-term brain health.
