Ruairi Quinn TD, Dublin South East Labour Party, at a protest outside Leinster House against the closure and sale of St Luke’s Hospital, Rathgar.
Ruairi Quinn says "It is vital that St Luke’s is not sold off to private developers for a huge apartment block. If there is a valid medical argument for transferring services to St James’, then the buildings and lands must be retained within the health services – perhaps as a stepdown facility for those recovering from serious illness. The Minister must commit to not sign any contracts until after the election."

What Cancer Hospital’s in Utah let you come and read to the cancer children?

cancer Hospitals
by Sam Blackman

Question by Hailey: What Cancer Hospital’s in Utah let you come and read to the cancer children?
I am doing a school project and I need 10 or more hours of service.. I REALLY wanna help the cancer kids. So if any of the hospitals in Utah (preferably Salt Lake Area) please tell me anything else you can do!! By the way I am 12 years old.
My project is due at the end of May. I would like my service hours done before that though because I have to write a report on it.

Best answer:

Answer by Tarkarri
Unless the hospitals in your area are very different to the ones here, this won’t be possible.

While it is a nice thought, it is very impracticle.

Most hospitals will not allow any volunteers under the age of 16 or in some cases 18.
Most children in hospital have very protective families who guard their privacy.
Where children with cancer require hospitalisation, often ths is due to infection risk and allowing a child to mix with them is of greater risk than allowing an adult.
Police checks are often required which can take weeks or even months to complete.

If you wish to read to young children as your service project, try contacting your local chld care centre or kindegarten where infection control is not as big a risk although a police check may still make this unachievable in the time frame you are looking at.

Add: One place that a young, smiling visitor is ALWAYS welcome is at an assisted living centre or nursing home.

There are many older people who never get visitors and would love to see some. Once you get used to them, you may find yourself wanting to continue these visits.

Brachytherapy in India to treat Cancer at Advanced Cancer Hospitals

cancer Hospitals

Brachytherapy in India to treat Cancer at Advanced Cancer Hospitals

Brachytherapy in India at world class hospitals of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore is offered with a premium service, the high quality of Indian medical services and modern medical options. The surgery departments of hospitals of Mumbai and Bangalore provide full-fledged dedicated services in the fields of surgery and are fully equipped with advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technology handled by a team of well qualified and experienced faculty.

Brachytherapy

Derived from ancient Greek words for short distance (brachy) and treatment (therapy), it is sometimes called seed implantation and is an outpatient procedure used in the treatment of different kinds of cancer. Radioactive “seeds” are carefully placed inside of the cancerous tissue and positioned in a manner that will attack the cancer most efficiently. Brachytherapy may be either temporary or permanent:

Conditions Treated with Brachytherapy

• Prostate Cancer

• Head and Neck Cancer

• Skin Cancer

• Breast Cancer

• Gallbladder Carcinoma

• Uterine Carcinoma

• Vaginal Cancer

• Lung Cancer• Rectum Cancer

• Eye Cancer

Advantages of Brachytherapy in India

• The precise targeting of the radiation, which spares healthy tissue;

• The fact that the procedure can usually be completed in 1-3 hours on an outpatient 
basis;

• A substantially lower incidence than surgery or external beam irradiation of both 
impotence and incontinence; and little to no impact on the patient’s quality of life.

• Patients typically return to their normal activities within 1-2 days with minimal 
restrictions.

• Brachytherapy greatly shortens the duration of the treatment, in fact prostate 
cancer Brachytherapy can often take one and a half days rather than the 5-7 weeks 
of traditional radiation.

Brachytherapy Cost in India

• India offers a low cost brachytherapy for international patients.

• India’s favorable exchange rate and the cost of healthcare services are at an extensively lower cost than that of other countries. If you’re coming from a Western country such as the United States or Britain, medical procedures in India will generally cost a fraction of the price as compared to prices back home.

• Prices in India are reasonable and affordable, be it accommodation, food or even shopping.

• From comfortable and affordable hotels to five-star accommodations, India provides you with a choice to budget or splurge.

• Hotels start from as low as USD50 to USD150 per night depending on its star rating.

• Alternatively, if your family is accompanying you for treatment, there is also an option to rent a serviced apartment.

Question by skahhh: What types of microscopes are used to identify cancer in hospitals today for pathology reports? Is a dark fie
ld microscope used and is that the ultimate tool to determine cancer and learn how to fight it off? The oncologist says they take stains.

Best answer:

Answer by Tarkarri
This probably varies dependant on what type of cancer they are looking for.

They need to look at cell structure, extent of tumour, margins of tumour after excision, hormone receptiveness and probably a heap more things!
