Wonderful experience visiting the beautiful city of Chandigarh for the Punjab Homi Bhabha Cancer Conclave (HBCC) 2026! It was an absolute privilege to engage with such an inquisitive, brilliant academic team and experience exceptional hospitality. During the conference, I had the opportunity to present our work on RIAMIND (Robotic Infraclavicular Approach for Minimally Invasive Neck Dissection). Sharing advanced surgical techniques and discussing the evolving landscape of head and neck oncology with passionate peers is always deeply rewarding. Collaborative academic exchanges like these are vital for refining precision methodologies, reducing surgical footprints, and ultimately improving patient outcomes through innovation.

MRI vs Ultrasound: Which is better for breast cancer detection? Both are vital tools, but they serve different purposes. Ultrasounds are excellent for targeting and evaluating specific lumps, while MRIs provide highly detailed 3D imaging—making them especially useful for women with dense breast tissue or a high genetic risk of breast cancer.

Does chemotherapy always cause hair loss? Is vomiting unavoidable? Are the side effects permanent?

These are some of the most common concerns I hear about chemotherapy.

In this video, I discuss 3 common misconceptions about cancer chemotherapy:

1️⃣ Everyone will lose their hair — Not all chemotherapy drugs cause hair loss. It depends on the specific medicine being used.

2️⃣ Everyone will have severe nausea and vomiting — Chemotherapy is carefully selected and dosed, and we now have effective medicines to prevent and control nausea and vomiting.

3️⃣ Chemotherapy causes permanent side effects — Many side effects are temporary and reversible after treatment, depending on the chemotherapy used.

Don't let fear or misinformation delay your cancer treatment. Understanding your treatment is an important part of the journey.

CEA vs CA 125: What do these tumor markers actually mean? Tumor markers are proteins found in the blood that help doctors monitor your cancer. CEA is commonly used to track gastrointestinal cancers (like colon cancer), while CA 125 is closely monitored during the treatment of ovarian cancer. These numbers help your oncologist understand how well your body is responding to treatment.

Got your biopsy results, but your doctor ordered another? Don't panic. A second biopsy is often necessary if the initial results were inconclusive, if there wasn't enough tissue collected, or if your care team needs to check for specific genetic mutations to map out highly targeted therapies. Precision is key to effective treatment!

Is it safe to use Ayurveda during chemotherapy? While natural and holistic approaches are popular, certain herbs and alternative medicines can interfere with active chemotherapy drugs, potentially reducing their effectiveness or increasing side effects. Always consult your medical oncologist before mixing any treatments to ensure your safety.

Does every thyroid cancer patient need radioactive iodine therapy?

Not necessarily.

Radioactive iodine therapy is an important treatment option for selected patients with thyroid cancer, particularly when there is a higher risk of recurrence or concern about remaining thyroid cancer cells after surgery.

In this video, Dr. Sandeep Nayak explains:

• What radioactive iodine therapy does
• When it may be recommended
• Why low-risk thyroid cancer may not require it
• Why treatment needs to be personalized for every patient

Modern thyroid cancer care is not about giving the same treatment to everyone. It is about choosing the right treatment for the right patient at the right time.
