Hi my husband was diagnosed with secondary lung cancer. Doctors asked for immunotherapy. Should we consult for a second opinion or is it fine to go with immunotherapy?
Answered on 23rd May '24
It looks like the patient has metastatic lung cancer. There is no information about previous treatment. I would like to know about the details of treatment given so far and histopathology report. We usually give immunotherapy if the tumor is PDL-1 positive.

There is no details available regarding the stage of disease and histopathology report which usually decides the type of treatment. Oncologist usually advice biopsy, PET-CT scan, MRI Brain to stage the disease. Treatment depends on the stage of disease. In stage III and IV, we usually give chemotherapy. Targeted therapy or immunotherapy is advised depending on certain biomarkers and stage of disease.
Hello, my aunt was diagnosed with a brain tumor after a bad fall on December 31st. We were advised that surgery would be impossible due to her age and other considerations and she would be unable to undergo chemo, therefore she will be treated solely with steroids. We are not sure about this hence would like to go for a second opinion. She has diabetes also. We are from Kolkata.

Details of the pathology report of the brain tumor and treatment given so far is needed. In brain tumor, the first line treatment is usually surgery. If not possible, then radiation can be given with or without chemotherapy depending upon the histopathology report.
