What is liver cancer?

Liver cancer is a life threatening illness and one of the fastest growing cancer types in the world. 

How many types of liver cancer?

There are two kinds of liver cancer are following:-

primary and secondary liver cancer.

What's primary cancer?

Primary cancer starts in your liver.

What's secondary cancer?

Secondary cancer spreads to your liver from another part of your body. This article is an overview of primary liver cancer.

Like many kinds of cancer, healthcare providers can do more to treat liver cancer during the disease’s early stage. 

Unlike many kinds of cancer, healthcare providers have a good idea of what increases someone’s risk of developing liver cancer. 

And With that in mind, healthcare providers are intent on identifying who may be at increased risk so they can catch and treat primary liver cancer as early as possible.

What's hepatic cancer?

Liver cancer also called hepatic cancer and

Cancer that begins in the cells of the liver.

The liver is the football-sized organ in the upper-right area of the stomach.

Why liver cancer a common disease?

No, it’s not common, but liver cancer cases are steadily increasing. 

Healthcare providers estimate about 1% of all men and women in the United States will be diagnosed with a form of liver cancer during their lifetime.

How many types of primary liver cancer?

There are three kinds of primary liver cancer.

What's Hepatocellular carcinoma?

This is the most common form of liver cancer, representing nearly all liver cancer cases.

What's Intrahepatic cancer (IHC)?

This is a form of cholangiocarcinoma. IHC is cancer in your liver’s bile ducts. It represents about 10% to 20% of all primary liver cancer cases.

What's Angiosarcoma?

This type is very rare, representing about 1% of all primary liver cancer cases. This cancer begins in the lining of blood cells in your liver. (Angiosarcoma may also affect other organs.)

HCC and IHC represent about 2% of all new estimated cancer cases in the United States, and 5% of all new cancer deaths. Healthcare providers often diagnose and treat HCC and IHC the same way.

Who’s affected by liver cancer?

HCC and IHC affect more men than women and are most often diagnosed between the ages of 55 and 64. 

People whose race includes Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic or American Indian/Alaskan Indian are more likely to develop primary liver cancer than people who are Black or white.

How does liver cancer affect my body?

Your liver is the largest organ in your body, helping you digest your food. 

It’s also one of the most important organs, as no one can live without their liver. Some of the essential tasks your liver manages include.

Collects and filters blood flowing from your intestines. Processes and stores nutrients that your intestines absorb. Changes some nutrients into energy or substances that your body needs to build tissue.

Makes bile, a fluid that helps digest fat.

Digests and stores other nutrients from food like sugar, which makes energy.

Makes substances that help your blood to clot.

What's main cause of liver cancer?

Liver cancer happens when something affects healthy liver cells’ DNA. 

DNA carries the genes that tell our cells how to function. We all have genes that tell cells when to grow, multiply and die. 

For example:- oncogenes help cells grow and divide. Other genes, called tumor suppressor genes, monitor cell activity, keeping cells from multiplying uncontrollably and making sure cells die when they’re supposed to die.

When our DNA mutates or changes? 

our cells get new instructions. In HCC, DNA changes turn on oncogenes and/or turn off tumor suppressor genes. 

For example:- 

studies show cirrhosis related to hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) account for more than half of all HCC cases.

When these viruses infect liver cells, they change cell DNA, turning healthy liver cells into cancerous cells.

What's causes IHC?

Healthcare providers believe long-term inflammation in your bile ducts increases the risk for developing IHC. 

This long-term inflammation may cause DNA changes that turn healthy cells into abnormal cells.

What's liver cancer symptoms?

When liver cancer is in its early stages, you might have no symptoms at all.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHC) have similar symptoms.

A lump below your rib cage or pain on the right side of your abdomen, or pain near your right shoulder. Jaundice (a disease that causes skin and eyes to yellow).

What's warning signs of liver cancer?

Unfortunately, you can have very early liver cancer without any symptoms. 

If you know you’re at risk for liver cancer, talk to your healthcare provider about tests to monitor your liver and possibly catch liver cancer in its earliest stage.

How healthcare diagnose liver cancer?

Your healthcare provider may suspect you have liver cancer if they find liver cancer signs and symptoms during your physical examination.

What's Blood tests?

Healthcare providers may do blood tests for cancer, such as a liver function test, to check on liver enzymes, proteins and other substances that show whether your liver is healthy or damaged. They may test for alfa-fetoprotein (AFP). High AFP levels may indicate liver cancer.

What's Ultrasound (sonography)?

This test provides pictures of your soft tissue structures. Healthcare providers use ultrasound to look for liver tumors.

What's Computed tomography (CT) scan? This special type of X-ray takes detailed images of your liver, providing information about liver tumor size and location.

What's Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)? This test produces very clear images of your body using a large magnet, radio waves and a computer.

What's Angiogram?

This test helps healthcare providers examine your liver’s blood vessels. During this test, your healthcare provider injects dye into an artery so they can track blood vessel activity and look for blockages.

What's Biopsy? 

Healthcare providers remove liver tissue to look for signs of cancer. Biopsies are the most reliable way to confirm a liver cancer diagnosis. 

What's cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)? ERCP uses an endoscope and a catheter (thin, flexible tubes) to examine your bile ducts.

What's cholangiography (PTC)? 

A PTC creates X-rays of your bile ducts like an ERCP. Instead of an endoscope and catheter, your healthcare provider delivers contrast dye by inserting a needle directly into your bile ducts and liver. A PTC is usually only for people who can’t have an ERCP.

What's liver cancer stages?

Healthcare providers stage HCC using standards set by the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer system (BCLC). 

This system evaluates HCC liver on characteristics, including whether your liver is working well, tumor size and your symptoms. 

Healthcare providers may use different terms for each BCLC stage; sometimes, presented as being stages I to IV or 0-C or by terms such as early and advanced stage HCC.

What's Stage I/very early stage/stage 0?

You have a single tumor in your liver that measures less than 2 centimeters (cm). Blood tests show your bilirubin level is normal.

What's Stage II/early stage/stage A?

You have a single tumor that measures 5 cm or less or you have more than one tumor that measures less than 3 cm. The tumor may have spread to your blood vessels.

What's Stage III/intermediate stage/stage B? In this stage, you may have more than one tumor and/or a tumor that measures more than 5 cm. The tumor may have spread to your lymph nodes, large blood vessels or another organ.

What's Stage IV/advanced stage/stage C? The cancer has spread to other places in your body, such as your lungs or bones, as well as lymph nodes.

How can I prevent liver cancer?

While you can’t completely prevent liver cancer, you can do the following to lower your chances of getting liver cancer:

Avoid behaviors that lead to cirrhosis.

Reach or maintain a healthy weight.

Get a hepatitis B vaccine. This vaccine is safe for nearly everyone. Ask your doctor about the hepatitis A vaccine.

how to Avoid hepatitis C?

If you have any liver disease, have diabetes, obesity or are a heavy drinker, ask your healthcare provider about liver cancer screenings.

What’s involved in liver cancer screening?

You can have very early-stage liver cancer without symptoms. 

Liver cancer screening is how healthcare providers monitor your liver’s health for signs of liver cancer. 

While there aren’t any standard liver cancer screening tests, your healthcare provider may recommend you have ultrasounds and blood tests every six months.

How liver cancer curable?

Successful liver transplants can cure liver cancer, but not everyone who needs a liver transplant will be healthy enough to go through a transplant or able to find a donor.

Studies show people who have surgery to remove part of their liver tend to live longer than people whose illness prevents surgery.

When that happens, healthcare providers focus on treatments to help people live with quality of life for as long as possible.

What's life expectancy of liver cancer?

Healthcare providers are making progress on liver cancer treatment so people can live longer. But liver cancer remains a life-threatening disease.

Data show that 35% of people treated for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) liver are alive five years after diagnosis. 

About 12% of people treated for HCC that has spread to nearby tissues organs or lymph nodes are alive five years after diagnosis. 

About 3% of people treated for HCC that has spread further are alive five years after diagnosis.

The five-year survival rates for intrahepatic bile (IHC) duct cancer are 24% for bile duct that hasn’t spread outside of your liver, 9% for cancer that’s spread to nearby lymph nodes and 2% for cancer that’s spread further.

How can I take care of myself?

Liver cancer and liver cancer treatments take a toll on your body. 

Some people have liver transplants or surgery to remove part of their liver. Other people may need treatment for as long as they live. 

Either way, you should plan on regular appointments with your healthcare provider so they can monitor your progress and watch for signs of recurring liver cancer (cancer that comes back). 

For example:- people who don’t have signs of liver cancer after treatment should plan on follow up imaging and blood tests every three to six months for the first two years after treatment.

If you’ve been treated for liver cancer, here are some steps you can take that may reduce your risk for recurrent liver cancer.

How to Protect from hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses?

If you smoke, try to stop. If you need help, ask your healthcare provider about smoking cessation programs.

If you drink alcohol, either cut back or try to stop. Again, if you need help, your healthcare provider can recommend programs and services.

Eat a healthy diet. Liver cancer and liver cancer treatment may affect your appetite just when your body needs nutrition to heal and stay strong. If you’re having trouble eating, talk to a nutritionist. 

They’ll suggest ways you can get the nutrition you need. Get some exercise. Ask your healthcare provider what exercise makes sense given your situation. 

Cancer is stressful. Exercise can relieve some of that stress.

Get enough rest. Fatigue is a common side effect of liver cancer and treatment.

Living with liver cancer can be lonely. You may not feel comfortable talking about your illness with others. 

If that happens, ask your healthcare provider to recommend support groups where you’ll find people who know what you’re going through. 

Their support and understanding can make a difference. A note from Cleveland Clinic.

Primary liver cancer is a life threatening illness. Often, people don’t know they have liver cancer until the cancer is in an advanced stage, which limits treatment options. 

When that happens, healthcare providers focus on treatments to relieve symptoms and slow cancer growth while helping you maintain a quality of life. 

If you have an advanced form of liver cancer, talk to your healthcare provider about your treatment options, including benefits and side effects so you can feel confident about your choices going forward.

The IITs were created to train scientists and engineers, with the aim of developing a skilled workforce to support the economic and social development.

IIT stands for Indian Institutes of Technology and  are central government owned public technical institutes located across India. They are under the ownership of Ministry of Education, Government of India.

Why IIT is used for?

The IITs were created to train scientists and engineers, with the aim of developing a skilled workforce to support the economic and social development of India after independence in 1947.

What's a IIT course?

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) around India provide a variety of undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG), and doctorate (PhD) programmes.

And mostly in the fields of Science, Engineering, and Technology. In India, twenty-three IITs offer over 250 Bachelor of Technology.

Why IIT or JEE is the best?

JEE stands for Joint Entrance Exam and it is a national entrance exam held for candidates seeking to pursue an engineering course from various colleges across the country. 

IIT stands for Indian Institute of Technology and these are the most prestigious colleges to study engineering in India.

What's the JEE?

JEE stands for Joint Entrance Exam. It is an all-India level entrance examination taken to get admission into engineering colleges like IITs, NITs and other colleges.

IIT stands for Indian Institute of Technology, which is the name of India’s most prestigious engineering colleges situated across various states.

The JEE exam is divided into two parts JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Let us now understand the difference between IIT and JEE.

What's JEE entrance examination?

JEE is the entrance examination you will need to crack to get admission into one of the 23 IITs and other colleges participating in the admission procedure. 

JEE is the examination you take, and IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) refers to any of the colleges you will get admission to based on your score in the JEE exams, which is a two-part examination. 

Hope this explains the difference between IIT and JEE. It is to be understood that IIT and JEE are not distinctly different from each other, rather they move hand in hand with mutual cooperation with each other. 

Why JEE Exams Different Anyway? 

You might have gotten confused because there are other entrance exams like state engineering exams of West Bengal, and West Bengal Joint Entrance Exam which also have the suffix of JEE. 

Be clear about the names of the exams for which you will be sitting. JEE exams are held for the disciplines of BE/ BTech, B. Arch and B.Planning.

what's exactly is the difference? 

IIT JEE and JEE refer to the same examination you take to get into the IITs. 

Do not get confused with the Joint Entrance Exams of other States, they are also shortened as JEE but come prefixed with the name of the State, for example, West Bengal JEE.

As mentioned before, JEE stands for Joint Entrance Exam. It is a highly competitive examination with over 9 lakh candidates appearing each year. 

Out of these 9 lakh applicants, only 12,000 qualify to get into IITs. Quite staggering, right? But you need to have a clear picture of the competition and prepare accordingly.

What's Difference between JEE Main and JEE Advanced?

Once you have understood the difference between IIT and JEE, know that the Joint Entrance Exam is divided into two parts. The first exam is Main and the second exam is Advanced.

JEE Main is the first examination you will need to appear for if getting into the IITs is your dream. 

This exam is conducted by the NTA (National Testing Agency) and this year will be held from June 20, 2022, to June 29, 2022.

If you get the qualifying marks (to be announced later) for JEE Main, you are eligible for the JEE Advanced examination. 

The difference in the structure of both these examinations is not considerable. However, there is a significant difference in the difficulty level.

What Happened after JEE?

After you sit for Joint Entrance Exam Main and get your score, you may or may not have qualified for JEE Advanced.

If you do qualify for JEE Main, you may sit for JEE Advanced. Depending on the various outcomes, there are some options for you.

What Happens with the JEE Main Score?

JEE Main is the first round of the screening examination. After the IIT JEE Main examination, you will score an All India Rank. With that Rank you will be eligible for the college.

~Admission into any of the 32 NITs (National Institutes of Technology).

~Admission into any of the 18 IIITs (Indian Institution of Information Technology).

~Admission into any of the 19 CFTIs. ~(Centrally Funded Technical Institutes).

~Admission into any other participating engineering colleges.

~Eligibility for the IIT JEE Advanced exam.

~Eligibility for NITs, IIITs and CFTIs.

~Admission into any of the B.E./B.Tech/B.Arch/B.Planning courses in the NITs, IIITs and CFTIs will be through Central Seat Allocation Board.

A score of at least 75% marks in the 12th standard examination. Candidates will have to be in the top 20 percentile in the class 12 examination/Qualifying examination conducted by the respective Boards.

For SC/ST candidates, the qualifying marks would be 65% in the class 12 examination/qualifying examination. This is the eligibility requirement for admission into any NITs, IITs and CFTIs.

What's JEE Advanced Eligibility?

Only around 2 lakh of the 9 lakh applicants who sit for JEE exam become eligible for appearing in the IIT JEE Advanced Examination. 

The Advanced Exam is conducted by any one of the IITs on a rotational basis. This year IIT Bombay is conducting JEE Advanced on the 28th of August 2022, Sunday. 

The candidate must have passed the class 12 examination or equivalent qualifying examination with at least 75% aggregate marks (65% for SC, ST, and PwD).

The candidate will have to be in the top 20 percentile of the successful candidates in their respective Board examinations.

Eligibility for Admission into IITs

So, what makes a candidate eligible for admission into the IITs?

The IITs have specific eligibility criteria for admission, which include.

What's Age limit?

what's the Number of attempts in JEE ADVANCED?

what's Year of passing class 12 or equivalent examination?

The other criteria for admission into the IITs are that the candidates will have to qualify in the JEE Main 2022 and the JEE Advanced 2022.

Why you should mentally prepare yourself?

As an aspirant, you should mentally prepare yourself. Considering the odds, is this really what you want to do? 

The road to IIT takes serious dedication, hard work and effort. Be very serious and dedicated with your preparation as it will require an investment of considerable time and resources.

Marks scored in the IIT JEE Advanced examination make you eligible for the following:-

~Admission into the IITs (Indian Institute of Technology).

~Indian School of Mines (IISM) or IIT (ISM) Dhanbad (new name).

~IISER (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research).

~RGIPT (Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology).

~IISc (Indian Institute of Science).

These are the institutes which take you in based on the JEE Advanced score.

What's Your Plan Well in Advance?

Hope you have understood the difference between IIT and JEE. 

What is left for you to do is sit down? 

have a serious thinking session, and decide for yourself if you are up for the challenge.

what's your end game in life? 

Do not just drift through life. Find out what your passions really are and pursue your career accordingly. You need to be serious about preparation because if not IITs, then NITs are just as good.

Remember no one can study on your behalf. It is you alone who can decide what you are capable of, so take the help of your parents, teachers, and mentors.

What's the 4 types of allergies?

When your body is hypersensitive to certain stimuli, its negative response can be classified into four distinct types of allergic reaction.

anaphylactic, ​​cytotoxic, immunocomplex, or cell-mediated. Each one is triggered in different ways and can manifest differently in each person.

What are the types of allergies and how are they treated?

You can be allergic to a wide variety of substances including pollen, animal dander, mold and dust mites.

What's the Pollen allergies?

Seasonal allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, is an allergic response to pollen.

When your symptoms last longer than a week or two and tend to come back, make an appointment with an allergy/immunology specialist.

Allergy skin testing may be used to identify the allergens that are causing your allergy symptoms. 

The test is performed by pricking your skin with an extract of an allergen, and then checking your skin’s reaction.

If a skin test can’t be performed, blood work may be obtained. This test is not as sensitive as a skin test. 

The test evaluates the number of antibodies produced by your immune system. Higher levels of certain antibodies suggest possible allergy to that allergen.

And Red eyes and sensitivity to light. A mild to severe temperature, which may peak at over 40.6C (105F) for several days, then fall but go up again when the rash appears. Tiredness, irritability and general lack of energy.

What's the Infection and incubation? 

For the first 10 to 14 days after infection, the measles virus spreads in the body. There are no signs or symptoms of measles during this time.

What's the Nonspecific signs and symptoms? 

Measles typically begins with a mild to moderate fever, often with a persistent cough, a runny nose, inflamed eyes (conjunctivitis) and a sore throat. 

This relatively mild illness may last 2 to 3 days. Acute illness and rash. The rash is made up of small red spots, some of which are slightly raised. 

Spots and bumps in tight clusters give the skin a splotchy red appearance. The face breaks out first.

Over the next few days, the rash spreads down the arms, chest and back, then over the thighs, lower legs and feet. 

At the same time, the fever rises sharply, often as high as 104 to 105.8 F (40 to 41 C).

What's the Recovery? 

The measles rash may last about seven days. The rash gradually fades first from the face and last from the thighs and feet. 

As other symptoms of the illness go away, the cough and darkening or peeling of the skin where the rash was may stay for about 10 days.

When can a person spread the measles virus?

A person with measles can spread the virus to others for about eight days, starting four days before the rash appears and ending when the rash has been present for four days.

When to see a doctor?

Call your health care provider if you think you or your child may have been exposed to measles or if you or your child has a rash that looks like measles.

Review your family's vaccination records with your provider, especially before your children start day care, school or college and before international travel outside of the U.S.

Why Measles is a highly contagious illnesses? 

This means it's very easily spread to others. Measles is caused by a virus found in the nose and throat of an infected child or adult. 

When someone with measles coughs, sneezes or talks, infectious droplets spray into the air. 

where other people can breathe them in. The infectious droplets can hang in the air for about an hour.

The infectious droplets may also land on a surface, where they can live and spread for several hours. 

You can get the measles virus by putting your fingers in your mouth or nose or rubbing your eyes after touching the infected surface.

Which is highly contagious?

Measles is highly contagious from about four days before to four days after the rash appears. 

About 90% of people who haven't had measles or been vaccinated against measles will become infected when exposed to someone with the measles virus.

What's the Risks factors?

Being unvaccinated. If you haven't had the measles vaccine, you're much more likely to get measles.

Traveling internationally. If you travel to countries where measles is more common, you're at higher risk of catching measles.

Having a vitamin A deficiency. If you don't have enough vitamin A in your diet, you're more likely to have more-severe symptoms and complications of measles.

What's the Complications of measles include?

Diarrhea and vomiting. Diarrhea and vomiting can result in losing too much water from the body (dehydration).

Ear infection. One of the most common complications of measles is a bacterial ear infection.

Bronchitis, laryngitis or croup. Measles may lead to irritation and swelling (inflammation) of the airways (croup).

It can also lead to inflammation of the inner walls that line the main air passageways of the lungs (bronchitis). Measles can also cause inflammation of the voice box (laryngitis).

What's the Pneumonia? 

Measles can commonly cause an infection in the lungs (pneumonia). People with weakened immune systems can develop an especially dangerous type of pneumonia that sometimes can lead to death.

What's the Encephalitis? 

About 1 in 1,000 people with measles can develop a complication called encephalitis.

Encephalitis is irritation and swelling (inflammation) of the brain. The condition can be especially dangerous for people with weakened immune systems.

Encephalitis may occur right after measles, or it might not occur until months later. Encephalitis can cause permanent brain damage.

What's Pregnancy problems in Measles? 

If you're pregnant, you need to take special care to avoid measles because the disease can cause premature birth, low birth weight and fetal death.

What's the Prevention in Pregnancy problems?

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that children and adults receive the measles vaccine to prevent measles.

What's the Measles vaccine in children?

The measles vaccine is usually given as a combined measles mumps rubella (MMR) vaccine. 

This vaccine may also include the chickenpox (varicella) vaccine MMRV vaccine. 

Health care providers recommend that children receive the MMR vaccine between 12 and 15 months of age, and again between 4 and 6 years of age before entering school.

The MMR vaccine's two doses are 97% effective in preventing measles and protecting against it for life. 

In the small number of people who get measles after being vaccinated, the symptoms are generally mild.

What we should Keep in mind?

If you'll be traveling internationally outside the U.S. when your child is 6 to 11 months old, talk with your child's health care provider about getting the measles vaccine earlier.

If your child or teenager didn't get the two doses of the vaccine at the recommended times, your child may need two doses of the vaccine four weeks apart.

Babies born to women who have received the vaccine or who are already immune because they had measles are usually protected from measles for about 6 months after birth. 

If a child requires protection from measles before 12 months of age for example, for foreign travel the vaccine can be given as early as 6 months of age. 

But children who are vaccinated early still need to be vaccinated at the recommended ages later.

Providing a child with the MMR vaccine as a combination of recommended vaccines can prevent a child's delay in protection against infection from measles, mumps and rubella and with fewer shots.

The combination vaccine is as safe and effective as the vaccines given separately. Side effects are generally mild and may include a sore arm where the shot was given and fever.

Why Measles vaccine in adults?

You may need the measles vaccine if you're an adult who does not have proof of immunity. And Has an increased risk of measles, such as attending college, traveling internationally outside the U.S. or working in a hospital environment.

Was born in 1957 or later. If you've already had measles, your body has built up its immune system to fight the infection, and you can't get measles again. Most people born or living in the U.S. before 1957 are immune to measles, simply because they've already had it.

What's the Proof of immunity & protection from getting measles infection?

~Written documentation of appropriate measles vaccinations.

~Lab tests that show evidence of immunity.

~Lab tests that show you've had measles in the past.

~If you're not sure if you need the measles vaccine.

~Talk to your health care provider.

~Preventing measles during an outbreak or known infection.

~If someone in your household has measles. ~Take these precautions to protect family and friends without immunity.

Why we should Isolate? 

Because measles is highly contagious from about four days before to four days after the rash appears, people with measles should stay home.

And not return to activities where they interact with other people during this period.

People who aren't vaccinated, siblings, for example should also stay away from the infected person.

Why Vaccinate in Measles? 

Be sure that anyone who's at risk of getting measles who hasn't been fully vaccinated receives the measles vaccine as soon as possible. 

This includes infants older than 6 months and anyone born in 1957 or later who doesn't have proof of immunity.

Why Getting vaccinated with the measles vaccine is important?

Promoting and preserving widespread immunity. Since the introduction of the measles vaccine, measles has virtually been eliminated in the U.S. 

Even though not everyone has been vaccinated. This effect is called herd immunity.

But herd immunity may now be weakening a bit, likely due to a drop in vaccination rates. The incidence of measles in the U.S. recently increased significantly.

Preventing a resurgence of measles. Steady vaccination rates are important because soon after vaccination rates decline, measles begins to come back.

Here's one example. In 1998, a now discredited study was published incorrectly linking autism to the  (MMR) vaccine. 

In the United Kingdom, where the study originated, the rate of vaccination dropped to an all-time low of about 80% of all children in 2003 to 2004. 

In 2008, there were nearly 1,400 lab-confirmed cases of measles in England and Wales.

What's the No proven link between the MMR vaccine and autism?

After the MMR study in 1998, some drops in vaccine numbers were found in the UK and elsewhere, and some people believed there was a possible link. 

Since then, widespread concerns have been raised about a possible link between the MMR vaccine and autism. However, extensive reports from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Academy of Medicine, and the CDC conclude that there is no scientifically proven link between the MMR vaccine and autism. 

These organizations note that autism is often identified in toddlers between the ages of 18 and 30 months, which is about the time children are given their first MMR vaccine. But this coincidence in timing shouldn't be mistaken for a cause and effect relationship.
