bile duct cancer treatment centers?

Hello sir, my dad was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in October. He is currently 65 years old. He refused to treat because of the terrible adverse effects, and he believes he would have died due to the side effects. Is there any other approach to treat him so that he doesn't have to go through the trauma?

Would like to know the stage and anatomical extent of the cancer before giving an opinion. There are surgical and nonsurgical approaches which depend on multiple factors and each patient needs tailored approach.

If bile duct cancer is in an early stage, it can be completely cured with surgery. If local regional spread is there, we may need chemotherapy followed by surgery. In last stage also, with chemotherapy and local radiation a good relief of symptoms can be achieved. Non treatment of bile duct cancer will lead to more worse quality of life then the treatment so treatment should be considered at the earliest.

Does they treat for last stage of Cancer

Male | 38

The end-of-life phase cancer therapy focuses on symptom management and quality of life enhancement instead of cancer treatment. Symptoms may be severe pain, weight loss, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. The causes of cancer are different but can be genetic, lifestyle factors, or environmental exposure. Treatment may include palliative care such as pain management and supportive therapy for the person to be more comfortable.

Hello, I am 75 years old male suffering from esophageal cancer (malignant sq. cell Carcinoma, grade-II). Please suggest me treatment for the same.

Male | 75

Treatment depends on the stage of cancer, health condition and patient's age. Surgery, chemo, radiation therapy or a combination of all these may be included in the treatment. But that can be confirmed after physical diagnosis. At an early stage, surgery may be the only treatment. If advanced stage then chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be required to shrink the tumor before or after surgery.

My maternal aunt is diagonised with cancer. She is in the first stage and Dr. From TATA said for operation. But her financial condition is not good. Is there any option for subsidies treatment to save her life.

Female | 56

There are many government schemes and programs in India that provide financial assistance for cancer treatment like the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), also known as Ayushman Bharat. You can check if your aunt is eligible for this scheme, and if so, she can avail cashless treatment for cancer in any empaneled hospital. You can check thjere are various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and cancer foundations for financial assistance.
