Hello Sachin, Treatment for oral cancer (mouth cancer) or any other cancer normally depends on the type, location, and stage of the cancer, age of patient and patient's general condition when diagnosed.

Oral cancer treatment includes:

  1. surgery in early stages,
  2. Radiation therapy,
  3. Chemotherapy.
  4. Treatment for advanced stages will usually involve a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
  5. Targeted therapy can be effective in both early and advanced stages of cancer.

In your case, depending of stage of cancer or if it is recurring, the clinician will decide about the line of treatment. Very important is nutrition of patient as eating will be a concern during and after treatment for some time. Hygiene of mouth is also very important and not to be missed. In case of advanced oral cancer, the patient may need reconstructive surgery and some rehabilitation to assist with eating and speaking during recovery. Speech therapist, nutritionist will be needed. Kindly consult an oncologist for evaluation.

Hope my answer helps you. Refer this page to find doctors - Oncologist In India.

Ive always had discharge for as long as I can remember and at my 8 week postpartum checkup the doctor checked me but said it wasn’t alarming because it’s not bothering me. I am currently 4 months postpartum and noticed I was getting discharge that had a slight odour and the discharge left rashes between my thighs and it got to the point I couldn’t wear underwear because the discharge would get more and I keep getting rashes. I noticed it getting a little bit better when I stopped wearing underwear the smell was still slightly fishy but not too terrible like before but recently after sexual intercourse I bled a little. Now google says it’s either the C word or some infection. I’m aware I should go doctor right away but I’m just not able to do so , my last two screenings for cervical cancer with my Pap smear came negative it was in 2018 and 2021. What’s the reason I bled?

Female | 27

Postpartum, it is normal to discharge but rashes and odor can prove an infection. Sex-related bleeding is not normal and may indicate a problem. This is why it’s important to go and see a doctor so that they can rule out any serious conditions. Cervical cancer screenings are also significant, but they do not detect all problems. If you are experiencing symptoms, do not waste time before seeing a doctor.

How many chemos are required in case of rectosigmoid

Female | 40

The number of chemotherapy sessions required for rectosigmoid cancer, also known as sigmoid colon cancer, can vary depending on the stage of the cancer, the patient's health, and the treatment plan recommended by their oncologist. Chemotherapy might be used as a part of the treatment for advanced stages of rectosigmoid cancer.

My brother in law is diagnosed liver cancer by the Doctors in Cuttack, Odisha. He is relatively poor with almost no resources to support the treatment. With my limited income of around Rs 8 lakhs per year, I need to support him. The Regional Research center named " Acharya Harihar Cancer Research center" at Cuttack seems having no modern technology to treat the same ( Please correct me, if I am wrong). Request you to guide me which hospital can be the best choice. I can spend maximum upto 3-4 laks from my savings. Thanks in advance for the help. he needs immediate treatment.

I have breast cancer, but there are no mutations in the genetic test in 70 genes, what could cause cancer?

Female | 28

Breast cancer can have various causes, and not all cases are linked to genetic mutations. Factors like age, family history, hormones, reproductive history, etc. can also contribute to breast cancer risk. It's a complex disease and personalized treatment plans are required. Consult with an oncologist for accurate guidance.

Namaste, My father lives in Ahmedabad, Gujarat and is in terminal stage of cancer. It started as oral cancer which was removed surgically but unfortunately has metastasized to his lungs and now his liver. He took 6 rounds of chemotherapy, but it spread anyway. He is at end of life now and we are desperately looking for Ayurveda treatment or options that can ease this situation.

Male | 65

Metastasis means the cance­r has spread to other body areas. The te­rminal stage signals the disease­'s progression. Pain, weakness, and no appe­tite are symptoms. Ayurveda use­s herbs and healthy practices to e­ase discomfort and lift life quality. But consult an expe­rt to plan the ideal ayurvedic tre­atment approach for your dad's specific case.
