Ganga Peak summit (AJK) was our first winter snow expedition. The challenge was huge due to more effort walking in snow and our relative inexperience trekking in deep snow, but once we reached the summit, the magnificent views took away all the pain. Now winter expeditions are a routine!

Just like breast cancer is heterogeneous, so is its treatment. Cancer treatment comes in different forms: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, transplant or in many cases, a mix of these therapies. Your doctor will advise you which treatment option(s) is best for you after completing all diagnostic tests and staging. Remember, early detection and early start of treatment saves lives.

Breast cancer treatment is not “one glove fits all”. It is a very heterogeneous disease with multiple types, all requiring different treatments. Biopsy, grading, immunohistochemistry and other tests are essential for differentiating between various types of breast cancer. Once the exact type is known treatment will be tailored to that after staging etc. Follow your doctor’s instructions for best possible treatment plan.

What is staging and what is grading is a question frequently asked by patients and attendants. Will biopsy result in spread of tumor? Many patients refuse biopsy due to this myth.

A very basic answer is that staging is done through CT/MRI/PET scan or ultrasound by a radiologist. It informs us about size of tumor and how far it has spread. Grading is done in a pathology lab under a microscope by a pathologist who looks at the tissue cells and decides whether it is not aggressive or highly aggressive. It gives an indication whether less aggressive or highly aggressive treatment should be planned.

Chances of spread via a biopsy are extremely low as has been proven scientifically whereas biopsy is essential for diagnosis and proper treatment of cancer. Benefits outweighs the risks.

All three: biopsy, grading and staging are important to plan further treatment for cancer patients.

Interaction and receiving feedback from PGs and TRs (now Institutional Registrars: IRs) is always helpful for better patient care as well as doctors’ wellbeing. The big question mark over future of TRs has been removed and BOG, after legal opinion, has decided that the contract terms and conditions of existing TRs shall be honoured by the institution. Nomenclature will be changed to IR. Many other problems faced by doctors and staff were discussed and these problems shall be solved at the earliest. Academics shall be further improved and hostel renovation and repair work will start soon. Newly built canteen shall be completed and made functional by the end of the year, InshaAllah, that will provide hygienic food in a comfortable and relaxing environment.
