After the detection of Gall Bladder Cancer by a CT Scan, other tests will also be conducted to know the stage and the extent of metastasis of the cancer. After the deterministic tests are conducted, then the treatment plan for your cancer will be decided by your oncologist. The treatment will depend on whether the gall bladder tumour is resectable or not:
- Treatment for Resectable Gall Bladder Cancers: In this scenario, the cancer has not spread too far and can be
- removed completely by Surgery (Cholecystectomy) which is mostly the case in Stage I, II and III cancers.
- The surgery will be followed up by Chemotherapy to destroy the remaining cancer cells.
- Treatment for Unresectable Gall Bladder Cancer: Here the cancer is too widespread and Surgical removal is not an option.
- In order to contain the cancer, surgeries to facilitate the flow of bile may be done
- And after that Chemotherapy will begin.

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.

Mere known mai kisi ko liver cancer ho gaya hai please btaye hum kya kr sakte hai
Male | 43
If someone you know is dealing with liver cancer, ask them to consult a specialist in liver diseases and cancers to determine the extent and stage of the cancer. Based on the diagnosis, the doctors will recommend treatment options like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. They need to focus on managing symptoms and side effects, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and consider joining support groups. Regular check-ups and collaboration with their oncologist team will be important for monitoring and managing the cancer effectively.

Three years back I was diagnosed with Colon cancer and treated for that. I was cancer-free after the treatment. But recently, I had to do a CT scan for a non-cancer purpose and then the doctor said there is a spot. So he asked me to have some other tests. Then one tumor was discovered during the PET scan, it's a new one. It's a particularly aggressive malignancy, and I'm losing a significant portion of my liver. And I'll have to go through chemo once more. I feel numb to thinking about the trauma I have to go through again. Can you please help with a doctor for a second opinion?

My nephew has a form of cancer in the form of a lump above the rib cage, which has now affected his lung. Is there a cure for this type of cancer? The doctors said that he needs marrow so what you think please answer me quickly.
Male | 12
Without knowing more about the type and stage of cancer he has, it's difficult to say much about his particular case. Bone marrow transplantation is done to treat some types of cancer, particularly those that affect the blood and bone marrow, like leukemia and lymphoma. So if the doctors have said so, you must follow. If yoou're cncerned you may take a second opinion from oncologists in India.

I've experienced dark blood in my feces and soreness under my right rib cage for the past three weeks. I'm also losing my appetite and becoming incredibly bloated and uncomfortable anytime I eat anything, even if it's only a small amount. I was diagnosed with pancreas cancer after undergoing numerous tests. But my doctor is not telling me anything clearly, he is not answering my queries. which makes me more anxious. Please suggest something to me. I want to go for a second opinion. I live in Patna.
You need to consult a oncologist and show him all the reports for proper treatment.

Stomach Cancer ke patient ko elaz kiya h
Female | 52
Treatment for stomach cancer includes surgery to remove tumors, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and potentially immunotherapy. The specific treatment plan depends on factors like the cancer's stage and the patient's overall health.
Palliative care is used to manage symptoms, and experimental treatments are done. The choice of treatment will be determined by your oncologist team, consulting with the patient.

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.

After a hysteroscopy, I was diagnosed with cancer last week. For over a year I had been bleeding and in chronic pain since December. I'm not sure which stage it is. So, I'm here. Should I visit a gynecologist ? or what? Please advise me.
I am very sorry to know your diagnosis of cancer. I would like to know your age and also how the cancer was diagnosed, was a biopsy sent, and what is the report of that biopsy? You definitely need to see a gynecologic oncologist with your biopsy reports.

Hello, I am experiencing some symptoms of Prostate Cancer. Is there any way to check if you have prostate cancer or not without visiting a hospital?
Consulting a clinician and getting thoroughly evaluated is the right way to get yourself diagnosed and treated. Just searching, reading and trying to match your symptoms to a particular disease will lead to unnecessary stress, anxiety and delay in treatment. So please get examined by Urology Consultation doctors in Mumbai, or any city of convenience, and if some pathology is detected then get treated.

My brother had gone Whipple surgery but cist was showing in pet scan
Male | 41
Post-surgery, fluid collections resembling cysts often occur harmlessly on scans. Typically, these dissipate independently without causing symptoms. However, if the cyst triggers symptoms or expands, consulting your oncologist ensures everything is well.

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.
Some of the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer that need to be taken seriously include:
- 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
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain, others.
Consult oncologists. Hope our answer helps you.
