Cancer is a global health issue and among the leading causes of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, cancer leads to nearly one in six deaths worldwide. It is a term used for a large group of diseases with a defining feature of abnormal cell growth, usually beyond their boundaries and expected numbers. As per interactive session and inputs received from Dr Avinash Gupta, a senior Physician practicing in New Jersey, USA, with modern advancements in technology, the treatment of different kinds of cancer has come a long way. However, the most effective strategy for managing the global burden of cancer is effective prevention and early screening of cancers.Early detection of cancers usually leads to a better prognosis for the patient. Late stage metastatic cancer, or cancer that’s spread to other parts of the body, is much harder to treat. People with a diagnosis of stage 4 cancer have a 5-year relative survival rate.In comparison, those with stage 1 cancer have a 5-year relative survival rate of about 90 percent. There are a number of tests available today that can help detect early signs of cancer or even a predisposition to developing it. Recently With Government of India support AlIMS Delhi  has set up  National Cancer Institute, Jhajjar Haryana and  Chief NCI reiterates in Public lectures that we are able to save Cancer patients if they come for consultation at early stage but India due to less awareness, no female disclose her small breast lump either to her husband or her father and moves to hospital at 4th/Last stage of cancer .Inadequate awareness and unavailability of screening modalities in developing countries lead to patients presenting with cancers at a later stage, which are difficult to treat and life-threatening. According to the American Cancer Society, healthy women/men should undergo periodic screening for breast, cervical, colon, prostate and other cancers.

Early signs of cancer

One of the best ways to fight the disease is to catch it in the early stages, when it’s more treatable. The problem is that the warning signs for many kinds of cancer can seem pretty mild.

Take a look at these signs and symptoms. Some are linked more strongly to cancer than others, but all are worth knowing about — and even talking over with your doctor.

1. Breast Changes

Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast, bloody discharge from the nipple and changes in the shape or texture of the nipple or breast. A cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts. Breast cancer can occur in women and rarely in men, However as per health journal reports, in 2017 alone, 2,470 men diagnosed with breast cancer.  “Men tend to ignore breast lumps because breast cancer isn’t on their radar,” Meyers says, warning that in men those cancers are also, “diagnosed much later.” Don’t take any chances.

2. Problems during urination

Many men/women have some problems peeing as they get older, like:

1. A need to pee more often, especially at night
2. Dribbling, leaking, or an urgent need to go
3. Trouble starting to pee, or a weak stream
4. A burning sensation during urination

An enlarged prostate gland usually causes these symptoms, but so can prostate cancer. See your doctor to check on the cause of the problem. They’ll give you an exam to look for an enlarged prostate, and they may talk to you about a blood test (called a PSA test) for prostate cancer.

3. Blood in Urine or Stool

These can be among the first signs of cancer of the bladder, kidneys, or colon. It’s a good idea to see your doctor for any bleeding that’s not normal, even if you don’t have other symptoms, Lepor says. Although you’re more likely to have a problem that’s not cancer, like haemorrhoids or a urinary infection, it’s important to find and treat the cause.

4. Skin Changes

When you notice a change in the size, shape, or colour of a mole or other spot on your skin, see your doctor as soon as you can. Spots that are new or look different are top signs of skin cancer. You’ll need an exam and perhaps a biopsy, which means doctors remove a small piece of tissue for testing.

5. Changes in Lymph Nodes

Tenderness of swelling in your lymph nodes, the small bean-shaped glands found in your neck, armpits, and other places, often signal that something’s going on in your body. Usually, it means your immune system is fighting a sore throat or cold, but certain cancers can also trigger the changes. Have your doctor check any swelling or tenderness that doesn’t get better in 2 to 4 weeks, Meyers says.

6. Trouble Swallowing

Some people have trouble swallowing from time to time. But if your problems don’t go away and you’re also losing weight or vomiting, your doctor may want to check you for throat or stomach cancer. They’ll start with a throat exam and barium X-ray. During a barium test, you drink a special liquid that makes your throat stand out on the X-ray.

7. Heartburn

You can take care of most cases of heartburn with changes to your diet, drinking habits, and stress levels. If that doesn’t help, ask your doctor to look into your symptoms. Heartburn that doesn’t go away or gets worse could mean stomach or throat cancer. Heartburn can also lead to a condition called Barrett’s oesophagus, which occurs when stomach acid damages the lining of oesophagus. While it is rare, Barrett’s can make you more susceptible to developing throat cancer. 

8. Mouth Changes

If you smoke or chew tobacco, you have a higher risk of mouth cancer. Keep an eye out for white, red, gray or yellow patches inside your mouth or on your lips. You could also develop a canker sore that looks like an ulcer with a crater in it. Talk to your doctor or dentist about tests and treatments.

9. Weight Loss without Trying

Pants fitting a little looser? If you haven’t changed your diet or exercise habits, it could mean that stress or a thyroid problem is taking a toll. But losing 10 pounds or more without trying isn’t normal. Although most unintended weight loss is not cancer, it’s one of the signs of cancer of the pancreas, stomach, or lungs. Your doctor can find out more with blood tests and tools that make detailed pictures of the inside of your body, like a CT or PET scan.

10. Fever

A fever is usually not a bad thing — it means your body is fighting an infection. But one that won’t go away and doesn’t have an explanation could signal leukaemia or another blood cancer. Your doctor should take your medical history and give you a physical exam to check on the cause.

11. Fatigue

Many types of cancer cause a bone-deep tiredness that never gets better, no matter how much rest you get. It’s different from the exhaustion you feel after a hectic week or a lot of activity. If fatigue is affecting your daily life, talk to your doctor. They can help you find the cause and let you know if there are ways to treat it.

12. Cough

In non-smokers, a nagging cough is usually not cancer. Most go away after 3 to 4 weeks. If yours doesn’t, and you’re short of breath or cough up blood, don’t delay a visit to your doctor, especially if you smoke. A cough is the most common sign of lung cancer. Your doctor can test mucus from your lungs to see if you have an infection. They may also give you a chest X-ray to check for another problem.

13. Pain

Cancer doesn’t cause most aches and pains, but if you’re hurting for more than a month, don’t just grin and bear it. Ongoing pain can be a signal of many types of cancer, including bone or brain cancer, especially those that have spread, Lepor says.

14. Belly Pain and Depression

It’s rare, but depression along with stomach pain can be a sign of cancer of the pancreas. Should you worry? Not unless this cancer runs in your family, Meyers says. Then you need to see your doctor.

 Steps proposed to be initiated:Though as per ICMR Reports, Instances of All Cancer Cases are higher in Men than Women, if data is to be believed, Indian women are more prone to cancer as compared to men. Among females, gynaecologic cancers, including breast cancer (51 per cent), accounted for over half of all cancers.Steps proposed to be initiated as a part of Women cancer awareness campaign

• Recommendations for breast cancer:

Women older than 40 should have a mammogram every year. Women older than 55 can switch to a mammogram every two years or continue doing it yearly. Screening should be continued until the woman is in good health and is expected to live for another 10 years. Some women are considered at a high risk of breast cancer and should be screened with a breast MRI and mammogram yearly. MRI should be used in addition to, not instead of, a mammogram. This includes women who: ● Have themselves or have a 1st-degree relative been diagnosed with genetic cancer syndromes, like BRCA1 mutation, BRCA2 mutation, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and others.

• Recommendations for cervical cancer.

Women older than 25 should have a cervical cytology test (commonly known as a Pap smear test) every 3 years. Alternatively, women older than 25 can undergo testing for high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) every 5 years. Co-testing with cervical cytology and hrHPV test can also be done every 5 years. Screening should be continued till the age of 65 if the results of tests have been normal for the last 10 years. Cervical cancer is unique among cancers as most cases are caused by a virus known as the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), and we have a vaccine for it. The Indian Academy of Paediatrics (IAP) recommends vaccinating all children, male and female, for HPV between the ages of 9-14 with two doses of the HPV vaccine. Children aged 15 and above can still be vaccinated for HPV but require three doses.

• Recommendations for colon cancer.

Patients have different options for screening tests for colon cancer. For average-risk individuals, people older than 45 should undergo screening tests. Colon cancer screening can be done by either a colonoscopy every 10 years, a flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years, or faecal occult blood tests every year. More frequent screening, every 3-5 years, may be required if colonoscopy reveals the presence of polyps. Screening should be continued until the age of 85. Some individuals are considered at a higher risk for colon cancers and have different screening recommendations. Individuals with one or more family members who have had colon cancer need to be screened with a colonoscopy starting at age 40 or 10 years before their relative got diagnosed with colon cancer, whichever is earlier. They also need more frequent tests. No other types of tests are recommended for such individuals.

• Public awareness and Cancer Cure Research : Ray of Hope

By knowing and understanding the basics about cancer and following the recommended guidelines for screening, men and women can help reduce the number of cases and increase survival rates by allowing treatment to begin earlier.Unfortunately as per medical records cancer of pancreas and ovaries are detected late. Similarly,more effective Cancer cure research is also needed. Recently, Small trial sees potential for new rectal cancer drug; After receiving an experimental drug called “dostarlimab” in a small trial, all 12 participants experienced complete remission. Doctors say this is the first time that such a cancer drug has had a 100% success rate in a clinical trial. Results of the small study, done by researchers at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, but it’s too early to call it cancer cure. Newer treatments such as monoclonal antibodies have greatly improved survival.

Cancer awareness portal/Helpline Number:

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India is committed for “सर्वेभवन्तुसूखीन: सर्वेसंतुनिरमाया”. There are many Cancer support group caring for people with like nciindia.aiims.edu, aims.edu, tmc.gov.in, breastcancerindia.net, indiancancersociety.org, with  National Cancer Helpline no 24*7 as +918046983383.Gradually, we may develop a good National Health policy which may felicitate everyone undergo whole body screening at least once in a year; Alsocancer related literature may be included in curriculum from Senior secondary classes.

A welcome and defining step to curb pollution caused by littered and unmanaged plastic waste is being taken by the country In line with the clarion call given by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, to phase out single use plastic items by 2022.India will ban manufacture, import, stocking, distribution, sale and use of identified single use plastic items, which have low utility and high littering potential, all across the country from July 1, 2022. This is in line with “Bio-medical Waste Management Rule-2016″, as per Rules proper handling and disposal of such waste is a must.The adverse impacts of littered single use plastic items plastic on both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, including in marine environment are globally recognized. Addressing pollution due to single use plastic items has become an important environmental challenge confronting all countries.

Some key findings:

• Plastic consumption has quadrupled over the past 30 years, driven by growth in emerging markets. Global plastics production as well as plastic waste generation more than doubled in recent years. Plastics account for 3.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
• Nearly two-thirds of plastic waste comes from plastics with lifetimes of under five years, with 40% coming from packaging, 12% from consumer goods and 11% from clothing and textiles.
• Only 9% of plastic waste is recycled. Another 19% is incinerated, 50% ends up in landfill and 22% evades waste management systems and goes into uncontrolled dumpsites, is burned in open pits or ends up in terrestrial or aquatic environments, especially in poorer countries. 
• There is now an estimated 30 Mt of plastic waste in seas and oceans, and a further 109 Mt has accumulated in rivers. The build-up of plastics in rivers implies that leakage into the ocean will continue for decades to come, even if mismanaged plastic waste could be significantly reduced.

The Government of India has taken resolute steps for mitigation of pollution caused by littered Single Use Plastics. The list of banned items includes –ear buds with plastic sticks, plastic sticks for balloons, plastic flags, candy sticks, ice- cream sticks, polystyrene (Thermocol) for decoration, plastic plates, cups, glasses, cutlery such as forks, spoons, knives, straw, trays, wrapping or packing films around sweet boxes, invitation cards, cigarette packets, plastic or PVC banners less than 100 micron, stirrers. The Plastic Waste Management Amendment Rules, 2021, also prohibit manufacture, import, stocking, distribution, sale and use of plastic carry bags having thickness less than seventy five microns with effect from 30th September, 2021, and having thickness less than thickness of one hundred and twenty microns with effect from the 31st December, 2022.The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change  notified Guidelines will provide framework to strengthen circular economy of plastic packaging waste, promote development of new alternatives to plastic packaging and provide next steps for moving towards sustainable plastic packaging by businesses.

Bio-medical waste management (BMW) means any waste which is generated during diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals or in research activities. This has become a topic of enormous concern due the massive amount of biomedical waste generated per year. As India’s premier public sector medical institution which sets the standards in rendering quality patient care for other hospitals to emulate, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi is uniquely poised to lead this movement of Bio Medical Waste Management by being the agent of change and adopting these guidelines at big Hospitals in Delhi and other Hospitals across India. Such huge quantity of waste is hazardous to both living organisms and the environment so proper disposal of such waste is the need of the hour. As per “Bio-medical Waste Management Rule-2016″, proper handling and disposal of such waste is a must and failure to comply with the provision of the rule will result a penal action. Recycling and reuse of biomedical waste along with proper disposal calls for immediate attention of both private and government hospitals.

Way forward initiative by Government of India

• Capacity building workshops are being organized for MSME units to provide them technical assistance for manufacturing of alternatives to banned single use plastic items with the involvement of CPCB/SPCBs/PCCs along with Ministry of Small Micro and Medium Enterprises and Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering (CIPET) and their state centres. Provisions have also been made to support such enterprises in transitioning away from banned single use plastics.
• The Government of India has also taken steps to promote innovation and provide an ecosystem for accelerated penetration and availability of alternatives all across the country.
• For effective enforcement of ban on identified SUP items from 1 July 2022, national and state level control rooms will be set up and special enforcement teams will be formed for checking illegal manufacture, import, stocking, distribution, sale and use of banned single use plastic items. States and Union Territories have been asked to set up border check points to stop inter-state movement of any banned single use plastic items.
• CPCB Grievance Redressal App has been launched to empower citizens to help curb plastic menace.  For wider public outreach, PRAKRITI – mascot was also launched on 5^th April.
• The Government has been taking measures for awareness generation towards elimination of single use plastics The awareness campaign has brought together entrepreneurs and start-ups, industry, Central, State and Local Governments, regulatory bodies, experts, citizens organizations, R& D and academic institutions.

All human activities produce waste. We all know that such waste may be dangerous and needs safe disposal. India generates 9.46 million tonnes of plastic waste annually out of which 40% plastic waste goes uncollected India generates around three million tonnes of medical wastes every year and the amount is expected to grow at eight per cent annually.. Industrial waste, sewage and agricultural waste pollute water, soil and air. It can also be dangerous to human beings and environment. Similarly, hospitals and other health care facilities generate lots of waste which can transmit infections, particularly HIV, Hepatitis B & C and Tetanus, to the people who handle it or come in contact with it. The success of the ban will only be possible through effective engagement and concerted actions by all stakeholders and enthusiastic public participation.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat today unveiled writer-social activist Sanjay Sherpuriya’s historical book “Main Madhobhai: Ek Pakistani Hindu” at an event in the Sant Kanwar Dham, which was established in the memory of Amar Shaheed Sant Kanwar Sahib.

This book chronicles the issues faced by Hindus, who are currently residing in Pakistan. According to the author, this book is a living depiction of the suffering of Hindus living in Pakistan. This book describes in detail the ill-treatment that the people of Hindu society have been facing in Pakistan for 70 years in the face of the tragedy of the Partition of India.
It also proves that only Hindus have suffered all the loss due to the partition of India on the basis of religion.

Sherpuria has done extensive research on this topic over the years. He penned down the book on the basis of his research. He has also played an important role in settling a settlement of Pakistani Hindus in Delhi. At the same time constantly striving to improve the lives of refugees.

In this ceremony, along with Bhagwat, Param Pujya Shankaracharya, Jyotirmath Peethadhishwar Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati Ji Maharaj and Shrinath Peethadhishwar Swami Jitendra Nath Ji Maharaj, besides many saints of Panchayats, Akharas and Peeths of the country and abroad were also present.
