What if your body could send you a reminder?
It already does. Listen to the early signs. Regular health checkups can help detect cancer early, when treatment is often most effective.

What Is a Biopsy? Demystifying a Scary-Sounding Word
Hearing the word "biopsy" can feel overwhelming, but a biopsy is simply a medical procedure used to help doctors find answers.
A biopsy involves removing a small sample of tissue or cells from the body so it can be examined under a microscope. It is one of the most reliable ways to diagnose or rule out conditions such as cancer and other diseases.
Does a biopsy mean I have cancer?
No. A biopsy does not mean you have cancer. Your doctor may recommend a biopsy to investigate an abnormal lump, swelling, or imaging finding and determine its cause.
Is a biopsy painful?
Most biopsies are performed using local anaesthesia to numb the area, so discomfort is usually minimal. The type of biopsy depends on the location and the condition being evaluated.
Why is a biopsy important?
A biopsy helps doctors:
• Confirm or rule out cancer and certain other diseases.
• Identify the type of disease.
• Help determine the characteristics of cancer, which can guide staging and treatment planning, when appropriate.
• Guide the most effective treatment plan.
Early diagnosis leads to timely treatment and better outcomes. If your doctor recommends a biopsy, do not let fear delay your care. Ask questions, understand the procedure, and follow your healthcare team's advice.
A biopsy is a step toward clarity—not a diagnosis by itself.

World Lung Cancer Day | 1 August 2026
Every breath is precious. This World Lung Cancer Day, let us come together to encourage healthier choices, and promote early detection.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. While not all cases can be prevented, the risk can be reduced by avoiding to***co, reducing exposure to harmful air pollutants and occupational carcinogens where possible, and adopting healthy lifestyle habits. If you experience persistent symptoms or are at increased risk, consult a healthcare professional without delay. Early diagnosis can improve treatment options and outcomes.
At Bagchi Sri Shankara Cancer Centre and Research Institute, we are committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive cancer care and empowering our community through awareness, education, and prevention.
Together, let us protect lung health, support those affected by lung cancer, and work towards a healthier, smoke-free future.
