Improvement in self-confidence by losing weight: The poor body image and social stigma associated with obesity increase the risk of depression and losing self-confidence. Weight loss surgeries increase confidence and prevent depression. Reduce the risk of cardiovascular events: The risk of several cardiovascular conditions, such as stroke, coronary artery disease, and peripheral artery disease, increases with obesity. A study concluded that weight loss surgery reduces the risk of death associated with hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Management of type-2 diabetes: Bariatric surgery also helps manage diabetes in patients suffering from obesity and type 2 diabetes. Manage obstructive sleep apnea: Studies have reported that 80-85% of patients are relieved from obstructive sleep apnea within one year after the surgery. Improve fertility: bariatric surgery improves fertility and reduces the risk of miscarriage. It also helps in normalizing menstrual cycles.

There are several methods for diagnosing hematological cancers. These include physical examination, blood tests, bone marrow tests (bone marrow biopsy and aspirations), lymph node analysis, and imaging tests (X-ray, Computed tomography, and positron emission tomography (PET)).

The side effects of radiation therapy depend upon the site of treatment:

  • Head and Neck: Oral problems, change in taste, trouble swallowing, hair loss, less active thyroid gland, and fatigue
  • Brain: Nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, headache, problem in concentration, and skin changes
  • Stomach and abdomen: Fatigue, diarrhea, urinary problems, nausea, and vomiting
  • Rectum: Infertility, urinary problems, sexual problems
  • Chest: Cough, shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing

Radiation therapy is a highly effective option for the management of cancer. However, the efficacy of radiation therapy depends upon the type, stage, and treatment response of the cancer. In many cases, a success rate of about 90% and above can be achieved. In advanced cancer, radiation therapy specialists may increase the radiation dose to obtain better results.
