The Endoscope Manufacturing industry has experienced strong revenue growth recently and is forecast to continue expanding. Since 2006, revenue increased by an average annual rate of 14.4% to $ 1.8 billion in 2011, and it is expected to grow by 7.4% in 2011 alone. The US economic downturn did little to deter hospitals and other customers from buying medical devices like endoscopes. The aging US population is a major factor driving demand, since the occurrence of health issues that require medical devices is higher in the elderly population. Cancer rates are also one of the drivers of the market. There are more than one million new cases of colorectal cancer annually worldwide according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer’s Globocan project. These cases of cancer are often diagnosed or treated with endoscopic equipment. Another factor that drives demand is the rising rate of obesity. Gastric bypass and gastric-banding procedures are becoming increasingly popular for treating obesity, and endoscopic procedures are often used pre and post-operatively.
While IBISWorld projects that revenue will grow at a robust rate in the coming 5 years, expansion will not match that of the recent years. The changing regulatory environment will be the main hindrance. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 will place an excise tax on medical devices, reducing industry profitability. However, minimally invasive procedures are gaining traction due to their lower costs and ability to be performed at physician’s offices versus hospitals. Office-based endoscopies are becoming more popular in fields like otolaryngology, urology, gynecology, gastroenterology and orthopedic surgery.
Foreign outsourcing of manufacturing, research and development, and other operations, combined with industry consolidation, will likely cause enterprises to decrease by 2.8% per year during the next five years. Similarly, industry employment is projected to grow at the slow average annual rate of 0.6%. Foreign players will continue their prominent role in this industry, especially countries such as Japan and Germany (which already dominate major players in this industry), as US customers face more stringent Medicare reimbursement requirements and other cost-cutting pressures. Imports are expected to constitute 39.2% of domestic demand in 2011. Major manufacturers in the US include Olympus Corporation, FujiFilm, Hoya Corporation and Medtronic

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) May 24, 2006
A progress report released by the National Cancer Institute shows that while certain forms of Cancer such as Female Breast Cancer and Melanoma are on the rise, the average survival rates for all forms of Cancer are increasing. Cancer awareness is an overwhelming factor in this trend.
Web sites such as eCancerAwareness.com are helping to spread the word about Cancer, Cancer prevention, and general awareness toward fighting Cancer. The public is becoming more educated about treatments and early detection and the report shows that the current mortality rates for Cancer victims are dropping. Unfortunately, the numbers of Breast Cancer diagnoses, for example, is still on the rise. Obviously, there is still a long way to go and the general public needs to become more aware.
There are several ways that people can do their part to help support the Cancer Awareness cause. eCancerAwareness.com provides free blogs, or web journals, to anyone affected by Cancer, so the public can learn more about Cancer from those who have fought and won the battle, or are currently combating the disease. Anybody affected by Cancer is encouraged to sign up for their own blog to provide information, keep a journal of their experience, or tell the story of a friend or family member’s fight with Cancer.
There is also a vast amount of information related to Cancer available on eCancerAwareness.com, and the site provides an easy way for visitors to share the resource with friends and family. Web site owners and bloggers can also support Cancer awareness by taking part in the “Be Cancer Aware” campaign started by eCancerAwareness.com.
Awareness plays a very large role in the fight against Cancer and Cancer prevention. The over-all trends are optimistic, but there is always more that can be done to try to beat this disease that has impacted countless peoples’ lives. To help in the fight, eCancerAwareness.com provides information, blogs and many more resources, which are all free to the public.

In Indiamore women die because of cancer of cervix than by any other disease. This happens despite the fact it is easily preventable and curable. Out of 500,000 new cases of cancer cervix detected worldwide each year, Indiacontributes 20 percent (100,000) of them. The registered cases in population based Cancer Registry is just the tip of the iceberg. Many more women are dying without being diagnosed and reported, as a result of progressive advanced staged cancer cervix, in remote rural areas. In last few decades, because of Cervical cancer screening programs, in most of the developed countries the incidence of ca cervix has dropped significantly. Because Indialacks such a program, the picture have is still gloomy, and most women come to know about their disease, when it is already in advanced stages (Stage III / IV). Overall 5 years survival rates in India49 percent compared to 72 percent in developed countries. The main reason for poor prognosis in Indiais that more than 2/3rd of our cases are detected in advanced stages (III or beyond), when overall survival is less than 30 percent. This is a matter of concern to a civilized society where ladies are dying premature by due to a preventable cancer.
What is cancer of cervix and how it occurs?
Cancer of the cervix, also the mouth of uterus or the lower most part of womb (where baby grows), is easily accessible for examination by the gynecologist per vaginal examination. Cancer of cervix is probably caused by high risk strains of the human papilloma-virus (16, 18, 31, 45 etc), a common sexually transmitted infection. In more than 90 percent of the infections, HPV clears up on its own, but in 10 percent of cases either cancer or genital warts develop. Multiple sex partners’ increases risk of HPV infection and the more partners the current partner has had, the higher is the risk that he will transmit HPV. Sexual and reproductive factors, socio-economic factors (education and income), viruses e.g., herpes simplex virus (HSV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other factors like smoking, diet, oral contraceptives are other important high risk cofactors in cervical carcinogenesis. Early age of marriage and early child bearing are contributing factor in our country.
The HPV virus causes cervix cancer was established by the research work of Nobel laureate Professor Herald Har Hassen, and this led to development of a vaccine for it. The HPV vaccine can prevent 70 percent of cancer cervix and current guild lines recommend immunization all girls is adolescent age groups i.e. before sexual exposure with 3 doses of HPV vaccine. During cancer development, the HPV viral particles get integrated with DNA of human nucleus resulting in mutation and rapid cancerous proliferation. This process cervical takes a few decades, for precancerous or cancerous changes to occur in cells.
]]>
What are the aims of cervical cancer screening and the available methods for it?
Screening aims are to detect cancer cervix the precancerous or early stages, when it is treatable. The Pap smear is the most widely available and effective method for this. Efforts are going on to develop an alternative cost effective method to suite low resource setting, to cater the vast population of developing poor countries. For this VILI /VIA/Low cost HPV DNA testing are being investigated in various research trials.
What is Pap smear?
For a PAP smear of vaginal secretions and spreading on slide which is then ….. in the pathology laboratory and examined under the microscope by a trained pathologist to detect precancerous changes in the cells. It is well recognized, that widespread use of Pap smear can reduce cancer rate by more than 50 percent sd precancerous lesions are picked up and treated.
What to do, if one a precancerous lesions & role of Colposcopy? : If an abnormality is detected on a Pap smear one should immediately seek expert advice from a Gynecology oncologist. Further evaluation is by colposcopy is required and close follow up must be done, as about 30-50 percent of severe dysphasia’s may transform into cancer. Colposcopic evaluation visualizes the precancerous lesion in a magnified way, to help the gynecologist in taking a biopsy from the most affected area. After a colposcopy and biopsy reports, a patient may just require close observations with frequent Pap smears or wider local excision of cervix with LEEP (Loop Electric Excision Procedures) or cold knife conization of the lesion. Wherever facilities are available and affordable, triage HPV DNA testing can be done. In a few cases the Pap smear/ Biopsy may reveal cancer.
?
Persistent white discharge or foul smelling discharge.
Bleeding per vagina (Post-coital, Post-menaupausal or irregular menstruation).
Vomiting with decreased urination or pain in pelvis or sacral areas.
Incontinence of urine or faces may be signs of advances stages of cancer cervix.
Precancerous stage CIN(Mild/Moderate/Severe Dysplasia)
Stage 0 carcinoma in situ
Stage I disease is localized to cervix
Stage II spread to adjacent parts in the pelvic
Stage III: spread upto pelvic walls or into lymph glands
StageIV: spread to distant organs
Precancerous dysplasias are treated either with local destructive procedures (cyro or electric cauterization) or local excision (LEEP or cold knife excision). Early cervical cancers are best treated surgically with radical cancer surgeries, while in advanced cases killing the cancer cells with radiation is more suitable. Such radical surgeries are best and safely done by doctors with specialized training in Gynec cancer surgeries.
It is achievable through regular Pap’s smears along with immunization (of adolescent uninfected girls). It requires political will power with social commitment. Empowerment of women and to educate them about health needs is other essential aspects, to win over cancer cervix. The non governmental organization can contribute a lot, by organizing screening camps and in facilitation of follow up of suspicious cases for colposcopy at higher centers. Not only that, they can provide immense support at time of need, when a mother of young children is detected with cervix cancer. They can help in clearing many doubts and myths about the disease and treatments. Identification of individual hindrances in receiving unrestricted complete treatments and resolving the issues need special attention in Indian scenario.

As per WHO 33% women and 25% men are likely to get cancer in their life time. Incidence of cancer is increasing with every passing day. Cancer is global problem and has to be tackled globally.Battleagainst cancer can not be won by doctors and scientists alone. The entire community has to be involved. It is possible to prevent 40 â 50% cancer by adopting healthy life styles, to detect 10 â 20% cancers by self examination and 40 â 50% cancers by Annual Cancer Check ups. Cancer is curable, if detected early and treated promptly at good cancer centers.
Â
Â
Stop smoking (active and passive) and alcohol to prevent lung, head and neck cancers.
Avoid high fat and rich foods; eat whole grains, fruits and fresh vegetables to prevent cancer of breast, prostate and colon.
Exercise to stay healthy
Avoid exposure to â household solvent cleaners, cleaning fluids, and paint thinners, pesticides, fungicides and other chemicals to avoid lung cancer.
Avoid multiple sex partners to avoid cancer cervix.
Avoid direct sunlight in summers to avoid skin cancers.
Get screening tests like the Pap smears, mammograms, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and Digital Rectal Examinations (Dress) for secondary prevention.
Â
Â
Each and every individual should do self examination once a month.
Each and every individual visiting his / her doctor for any ailment should be screened for cancer.
Annual cancer check up should be done at cancer hospitals.
Suspected cancer cases should be investigated urgently to confirm or rule out cancer.
]]>
Â
Tissue diagnosis to confirm / rule out cancer by FNAC / Biopsy.
Staging work up to confirm stage of the disease.
Tumour Board Evaluation to chart out custom made treatment plan for each individual, as per standard treatment guidelines.
Choosing NABH Accredited cancer hospitals, offering quality cancer treatment.
Â
Â
A panel of cancer experts i.e. Medical Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Surgical Oncologists, Gynae Oncologists, Paediatric Oncologists, Onco-pathologists, Radiologists and Imaging experts, get together to review and plan suitable modality or modalities of treatment.
Treatment is need driven and not doctor driven.
Patients get the choice of surgery or radiotherapy, if the results are same by both modalities.
Patients are saved from unnecessary surgeries, if the surgeries cannot be performed.
Patients get complete treatment. This prevents recurrence due to incomplete treatment.
Chances of cure / improvement in quality of life are much higher because of right and optimum treatment.
Patients are saved from Medical shopping and get expert opinion under one roof by spending one consultation fee only.
Â
Â
Â
Cancer is treated by giving external radiation with linear accelerators and internal radiation i.e. brachytherapy. The newer techniques of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy ensures that healthy tissues surrounding the tumour are not exposed to radiation to prevent side effects of radiotherapy. Radiation oncologists and physicists work together as a team to give radiation.
Â
Cancer Surgeries are very complex lasting 2 â 12 hours. A dedicated team of surgical oncologists and Anaesthesiologists, supported by other allied specialists is a must. Surgical oncologists are best suited to decide whether surgeries have to be conservative or radical.
Â
Â
Medical oncologists are trained exclusively to plan and manage chemotherapies and their side effects. Chemotherapies can be Normal and High Dose, including doseâintense and doseâdense; Infusional multiple and single drug; Bolus Chemotherapies; Intra-arterial chemotherapy; Targeted Therapies; Immunotherapy / Biological Therapies; Hormonal Therapies; Neutropenic Care; Nutritional Therapy; Palliative and Terminal Supportive Care; blood transfusion and I/V fluids etc. The radiotherapists and surgeons are not trained to perform chemotherapies.

Indiais called the capital of Oral Cancer in the world because of its highest incidence. Oral cancer ranks no. 1 among men and no. 3 among women inIndia. Unfortunately, even young adults are being diagnosed with the disease because more and more children are using pan masala / Gutka and other tobacco products. Inspite of the fact that oral cancers are completely preventable, the incidence is rising at an alarming speed. Oral cancers account for 40% of the cancer in men and include cancers of : -
i.e. tongue, gums, buccal mucosa (inner side of cheek) and palate
(area behind the tonsils)
Eighty-five percent of oral cancers are linked to tobacco use. People who use both tobacco and alcohol are at greater risk for developing these cancers than people who use either tobacco or alcohol alone. The other risk factors are poor oral hygiene and Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. There are certain stages before development of frank cancer which present as White patches (leukoplakia) in the mouth, which do not get rubbed off or Red patches (Erythroplakia). There is a condition which is called submucous fibrosis (SMF) when person cannot fully open the mouth, whole of inner lining of cheek tissues turns white and hard due to effect of Gutkha. In this condition, person is very prone for development of cancer in future.
More than 5 million children inIndiaare addicted to gutkha, a smokeless tobacco product that is a key driver behind the country’s soaring oral cancer rates. People who are at risk for oral cancers should get annual check ups and learn to reduce their risk. They should also discuss how often to have checkups.
Decrease in mouth opening or pain during opening of mouth.
Changes in colour – red, brown, white or black spots / patches in the mouth
Raised growth, swelling or lump
A sore or ulcer which does not heal
Bleeding
Tingling, burning or numbness in tongue or lip
Pain anywhere in the mouth
Painful, sensitive or loose teeth
Difficulty in swallowing or talking
Submucous Fibrosis – Inability to open the mouth fully
Erythroplakia (Red Patches)
Leukoplakia (White Patches)
]]>
The earlier cancer is detected there are very high chances of cure and complete recovery. It is important to realize that many cancers today are curable.
High risk individuals should be examined 1st by trained surgical oncologist. Subsequent check up can be done, every 2 – 3 monthly or during annual check ups.
by each and every one of us will go a long way in detecting cancer at the early stage. One can stand in front of large mirror and look for the following : -
Change in colour of gums, lips and cheeks, White, Brown or red patches, ulcer, sore or scab, thickening in any part of the oral cavity.
Look for any lump, swelling or any other abnormality.
If a person cannot open the mouth fully then endoscopic examination should be done.
If you find anything abnormal, record it on a notebook and report it to your doctor. In case everything is normal, RELAX!
The advantage of early detection of cancer is that it can be cured by only surgery or radiotherapy resulting in good functional and cosmetic outcome with decreased cost.
Oral Cancers mouth examination is must for both the sexes.This is most important for all of us because it is through these annual check ups that we can find out about the status of our health. Annual Health check up should also include cancer check up which includes the following :
General Body Check up including Mouth Examination
Dental Check up
Breast Examination
Pap smears
Mammography
Pelvic Examination
Colon & Rectum Examination
General Body Check up including Mouth Examination
Dental Check up
Colon & Rectum Examination
Testicles Examination
Prostate Examination
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)
Avoid Tobacco and Tobacco Products like gutkha, paan, khaini, surti, beedi, cigarette
Avoid Alcohol
Maintain Good oral and dental hygiene
All smokers and tobacco chewers need several counselling sessions to leave the habit and ensure they do not start taking tobacco, after quitting it, best helped by dedicated tobacco cessation clinics at specialised cancer hospitals.
Depending on the type of cancer (diagnosis) and how far it has spread (staging) it is treated with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and often various combinations of these. It is therefore important that, if someone you know, develops a cancer, he / she should go to a comprehensive or dedicated cancer care superspeciality hospital with NABH ACCREDITATION, where a correct diagnosis, staging and planned treatment can be carried out along with good rehabilitation team including speech and swallowing therapist, physiotherapist and prosthodontics dental surgeon. Oral Cancer Cases which were being labelled as inoperable due to lack of surgical skills earlier are very much operable with good results.
Complete diagnostic check up to confirm or rule out cancer.
Staging work up to find out the stage of the disease.
Tumour Board evaluation by a group of cancer experts to plan the standard treatment as per National / International protocols
Treatment of cancer at dedicated cancer centres specially NABH Accredited hospitals, where all modalities of diagnosis and treatment are available under one roof.
Faith in self, God and the treating team
Positive attitude and the will to fight cancer
A panel of cancer experts i.e. Surgical Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Medical Oncologists, Gynae Oncologists, Paediatric Oncologists, Onco-pathologists, Radiologists and Imaging experts, get together to review and plan suitable modality or modalities of treatment.
Treatment is need driven and not doctor driven.
Patients get the choice of surgery or radiotherapy, if the results are same by both modalities.
Patients are saved from unnecessary surgeries, if the surgeries cannot be performed.
Patients get complete treatment. This prevents recurrence due to incomplete treatment.
Chances of cure / improvement in quality of life are much higher because of right and optimum treatment.
Patients are saved from Medical shopping and get expert opinion under one roof by spending one consultation fee only.
High end Technology and infrastructure
Highly trained team of oncologists
Very high standards of treatment
Patient safety and confidentiality
High Survival rates
Environment and legal compliances
Continuous surveillance of systems by Quality Council of India
To fight against this menace of oral cancer, we need to stop usage of tobacco, we need to be aware of warning signs / symptoms so that early detection is possible leading to cure than this disease. This can be achieved at cancer specialist NABH hospitals with high success.
