The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a serious impact on many people, including cancer patients, their families and caregivers. Currently, the biggest worry gripping them is whether getting vaccinated against this virus is safe or not, as they have a different level of resistance & disease-fighting power.
Dr. Anil Heroor, Head of Surgical Oncology, Fortis Hospital, Mulund & Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi shared with Indian Express, the dos and don’ts for Cancer patients before getting the jab. So, here’s what you need to know.
There are two elements to this discussion. One for Cancer survivors and the other for those undergoing cancer treatment. For Cancer survivors, it is best recommended that they take the vaccine as they are already on the path to recovery. 
Patients who have undergone cancer surgery
Such patients should consult their doctors before getting vaccinated. One’s type of cancer and treatment determines the risk factors, benefits, timelines and what one should know before receiving the first dose.
Patients receiving chemotherapy
Patients undergoing treatments such as Chemotherapy and Radiation should go for Covid vaccination after taking a gap of 5-7 days from their last session. It is important to take the vaccine at a time when your white blood count (WBC) and blood platelets are not low. Therefore, a Complete Blood Count (CBC) needs to be done before getting vaccinated.
Patients with leukemia
It is recommended that patients with leukemia should delay vaccination until after the completion of chemotherapy treatments such as induction therapy which is given for acute leukemia. Also, they must consult their doctor before getting vaccinated.
Patients undergoing stem cell therapy
Patients who are within three months of an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant, Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant or CART Cell Therapy, should go for vaccination after consultation with their doctor. In addition, those with severe Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) and those with low B-cell counts should discuss with their provider whether vaccination should be delayed.
Patients who have undergone breast cancer surgery
Vaccination is usually given on the left shoulder but if a person has undergone left breast removal, the vaccination should be taken on the right shoulder. If both breasts have been removed, then the vaccine shot should be either taken on the thigh or the hips.

A study published in The Lancet Oncology journal reveals that alcohol consumption was linked to 62,100 or 5% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases in India in 2020.

Alcohol negative effects: 62k cancer cases in India linked to alcohol drinking

Here&rsquo;s another reason to think harder before pouring your next drink!&nbsp;62,100 cancer cases in India linked to alcohol consumption

Think before you drink: 62k cancer cases in India linked to alcohol consumption

Lancet study offers another reason to rethink your next boozy drink&nbsp;
62k newly diagnosed cancer cases in India in 2020 linked to alcohol
4% of all new global cancer cases attributed to alcohol consumption
Men account for 77% of the alcohol-associated cancer cases
Even low levels of drinking can cause DNA&nbsp;damage &amp; hormonal imbalances
Largest number of cases:&nbsp;oesophagus, liver and breast cancer
First study in 2020 to find a direct causal link to alcohol drinking
Alcohol drinking dips in Europe, rising in China, India &amp; sub-Saharan Africa
Covid-19 pandemic also spiked drinking rates in some countries: IARC
Small changes to public drinking behaviour may improve the situation
Suggestions: reduced availability, warning labels &amp; marketing bans&nbsp;

Study published in The Lancet Oncology journal reveals that alcohol consumption was linked to 62,100 or 5% of all newly diagnosed&nbsp;cancer&nbsp;cases in India&nbsp;in 2020.

Here&rsquo;s another reason to think harder before pouring your next drink!&nbsp;A large-scale study published in The Lancet Oncology journal has revealed that alcohol consumption was linked to 62,100 or five per cent of all newly diagnosed&nbsp;cancer&nbsp;cases in India&nbsp;in 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Globally, 740,000 or four per cent of new&nbsp;cancer cases&nbsp;in 2020 were attributed to alcohol by the research team. Of this, men accounted for 77&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;of the alcohol-associated cancer cases compared to women at 23 per&nbsp;cent.

Even relatively low levels of drinking contributed to DNA damage&nbsp;and caused hormonal imbalances in people.&nbsp;Alcohol even&nbsp;worsens the cancer-causing effects of other substances, such as tobacco, noted the team.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Cancers of the oesophagus, liver and breast accounted for the largest number of cases.&nbsp;These cancers have well-established causal links to alcohol consumption, and the estimates of the direct associations with alcohol in the recent peer-reviewed study are the first of their kind for 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The study also demonstrates how alcohol consumption is decreasing in many European nations but is steadily rising&nbsp;in Asian countries like China and India, and in sub-Saharan Africa.&nbsp;The&nbsp;International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) also says that the Covid-19 pandemic has caused a spike in drinking rates in some countries.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While the study highlights the rise in alcohol-linked&nbsp;cancer rates, it also suggests that even small changes&nbsp;to public drinking behaviour may improve the situation. Suggestions included&nbsp;reduced alcohol availability, labelling alcohol products with a health warning, and marketing bans to reduce the rates of alcohol-driven cancer.&nbsp;
