Triple negative breast cancer means the growth of cancer cells is not affected by estrogen, progesterone and her2neu pathways. Thus remedies employing alteration of these will not work.

Can axillary fibroadenoma be treated with medicine? If not what is the process and cost of surgery? Is there any chance of future malignancy

Answered on 19th June '24

Treatment is by surgery and the specimen will be sent for Histopathological examination for confirming diagnosis. Previous benign breast pathologies have slightly higher risk than general population, though the standard screening protocol of SBE and CBE should be followed.

Asked for Male, 61

My father has secondary liver cancer and his condition is deteriorating every day. We can't see him like this. Please advise the next course of action.

Answered on 6th June '24

The treatment would depend on the status( of the primary cancer (colorectal, lung, pancreas) and also the status of liver metastasis (resectable or ablatable). Also if the primary is controlled and in presence of only liver metastasis there is a role of liver transplantation in selected patients. Kindly visit a surgical oncologist for determining the correct approach.

Asked for Female, 30

Hi, my breasts are small, can you offer any suggestion?

Answered on 6th June '24

Since I dont know your status, it depends on your future decisions. If you are planning to get married in near future and have children, sometime there is an increase in size of breasts which persists even after completion of lactation. If your goal is to enlarge breasts without any other considerations, you can think of augmentation techniques like implants or fat grafting or other techniques.
