Hello, what are the early symptoms of Pancreatic cancer that a person can detect?
In many cases there are often no signs and symptoms, until the pancreatic cancer has reached an advanced stage. Even when there may be some early signs and symptoms, they are often vague, so patients tend to ignore them or doctors sometimes attribute them to some other disease.

- Jaundice (with or without itching)
- Dark urine or light-colored stool
- General symptoms such as back pain, Fatigue or weakness
- Pancreatitis
- New-onset diabetes in an adult
- Unexplained weight loss
- Loss of appetite
- Malnutrition
- Nausea

My name is Pratima. Just a few days back my grandmother was diagnosed with colon cancer treatment (1st stage). She is 75 now. As she is quite aged, is there any chance of growing again? Or is there any life risk even post operation? As she is quite aged we are really worried. Please help.
Surgery is to be done to get the disease out of body and prevent it's spread elsewhere in body. There is always a chance of spread of disease in Colon cancer, so regular follow ups with oncologist are very important to check any spread. Age factor does matter in case of recovery post surgery. General condition of the body matters alot for proper recovery post surgery.

[URGENT] Someone i know has 3 tumours, 1 in their lungs, 1 in their kidneys, can Chemo help them? Also, they’re doctor is arriving in 3 days, do we wait for him or do we need to be quicker?
Male | 45
Chemo can be used as a therapy if in case you have cancerous tumors such as in the lungs and kidneys. The choice is whether to try the chemo or not, which is to be done by a professional who is familiar with the individual condition of the patient and who can look at their medical history. It is highly advisable to seek the opinion of an oncologist for a thorough evaluation and care of the cancer.

Female | 42
In palliative care patients with serious illnesses are provided with comfort, pain relief and support with the goal of enhancing their quality of life. It does not mean that there is no hope, but doctors advice this when curative treatment are no longer available. If you're confused you can seek a second opinion from another oncologist.

I want to know about the early signs of throat cancer. What are the treatment options for it? If throat cancer is detected in its early stages, can it be cured without visiting any hospital?
Early signs of throat cancer can be persistent cough, throat irritation, wheezing, difficulty in swallowing, unexplained fatigue, weight loss and many more, but to treat any kind of disease you need to visit a doctor, don't come to a conclusion and don't try to treat it yourself.
Consult a doctor and get evaluated and have one to one consultation with an oncologist to get a better idea of your concerns. Consult Cancer Treatment doctors in Mumbai or any other city nearest to you. Hope our answer helps you.

If the cracking of nipple is not responding to ointment what needs to be ruled out is a Paget's disease of the nipple. This requires a clinical examination by a breast surgeon and he or she can guide you further on the same.

PET-CT scan impression report shows. 1. Hypermetabolic spiculated mass in lower lobe of right lung. 2. Hypermetabolic right hilar and sub carinal lymph nodes. 3. Hypermetabolic nodule in left adrenal gland and hypodense lesion in left kidney 4. hypermetabolic multiple lytic sclerotic lesions in axial & appendicular skeleton. Lesion in proximal end of femur is susceptible for pathological fracture. which stage the cancer might be in.? How far the cancer has spread?
Male | 40
The findings from this PET-CT scan suggest the presence of multiple hypermetabolic (actively metabolizing) lesions in various parts of the body. This pattern of findings raises concerns about the possibility of metastatic cancer, meaning that cancer may have spread from its original site to other areas of the body. The exact stage and extent of cancer would require further evaluation by an oncologist from the best cancer hospital in India, including additional tests and imaging.

My brother has malignant lesions in his lungs and Doctors have stated that the lesion must be removed at the earliest using Chemotherapy or immunotherapy. However, we'd like to know which hospitals in Nagpur are the best for lung cancer, particularly for Chemo, Targeted Chemo, or Immunotherapy.
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.

My husband was diagnosed with cancer four months ago. Doctors initially assumed it was bone cancer, but after the pathology report came, we came to know that it's stage 4 kidney cancer. Some of our known people suggested immunotherapy as chemotherapy doesn't go for kidney cancer. We want an expert opinion on whether this is true and in that case what we should do now.
In case of Cancer involving Kidneys and has spread to other parts of body requires chemotherapy or immunotherapy. The exact plan for treatment can be decided after studying the involvement of disease and its effects on the normal functioning of the body. So if you can share all your reports with oncologist near you. He will be able to guide you towards the exact treatment plan.

CA-125 marker result came for my mother's report. The result is 1200 u/ml and the reference is 35u/ml. She was diagnosed with a ovarian tumor three days ago and is going to be operated on 19-7-21. the tumor is early stage but the CA-125 result really bothers me. could u please clear my doubts?
Female | 46
In my opinion, there are other options apart from surgery, they should be tried and surgical options can wait till a later stage.
She needs a stage-wise diagnosis and treatment which may include CT scan or PET CT.
But with virtual platform, it's highly possible that some important detail pertaining to your mother's course of treatment could have been overlooked.
If the surgery has been performed by now and she doesn't present with severe symptoms that are difficult to handle, then things may have worked, but if her condition is critical, then we will advise you to reach out to other specialists - Oncologists In India.
If you have any other doubt, then reach out to me, clinicspots team or other specialists, also let clinicspots know if you have any location-specific requirements for finding desired specialists, take care!

In 2020 ultrasound showed a complex ovarian cyst on one ovary measuring 3cm. The other cyst was normal. There was followup after three months with u-s and mri that showed no increase in size. No further follow ups. I read that complex cysts are at risk for malignancy, particularly for older women, and require monitoring. Wouldn’t that mean every six to twelve months? So my other questions are if EVERY complex cyst should have monitoring? And is it recommended to have oophorectomy and possibly hysterectomy assuming good health with no preexisting conditions? Thank you.
Female | 82
Complex ovarian cysts can have a risk of malignancy and usually require monitoring. Whether to undergo oophorectomy or hysterectomy should be based on the characteristics of the cyst, overall health, and personal preferences. You must consider what your doctor suggests.
