Answered on 23rd May '24
Persistent throat pain can have many causes.. and while smoking is a known risk factor for throat cancer, it doesn't necessarily mean you have cancer if you experience throat pain. There are many other possible reasons for throat discomfort, like infections, allergies, acid reflux, or even smoking-related issues like irritation and inflammation. If you're very concerned you can visit for a checkup at your nearest cancer hospital.

Hi, I want to ask can patient with diabetes do Pet Scan?
As per my understanding your patient is diabetic and needs to undergo a pet scan. If diabetes is under control and any other vital organs like kidney are functioning normally and if not contraindicated, then definitely the patient can undergo pet scan. But you need to consult Physician so that he can guide you regarding pet scan. Hope our answer helps you.

If your PSA level has risen after previous treatments for prostate cancer,Plz consult with the best oncology hospital in India or your urologist. An increase in PSA levels may indicate a recurrence or progression of the cancer. The next steps will depend on your health, the extent of the cancer, and the treatments you've already received..

Breast cancer can have various causes, and not all cases are linked to genetic mutations.

I am 35 years old female and my stomach was bloated for 2 days then I consulted doctor who gave drips then told for a ct scan then they told its cancer other told its all spread and its stage 4 many told us not to get biopsy as it will make it more spread now the report came that cea is 0.5 and ldh is 276
Female | 35
Bloating can arise from various factors, including digestive issues or hormonal changes. The elevated LDH and the CEA levels are significant, but it's crucial to interpret these in the context of your overall health and symptoms. Consult your physician for a comprehensive evaluation and discuss the necessity of a biopsy based on your specific situation. It's essential to have a supportive team guiding your care. Remember, communication with your healthcare provider is key to navigating this journey effectively.

Female | 21
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.

Hello, I'm 48 yrs old male, diagnosed with AML in August 2020, underwent intense chemo. Achieved remission after cycle1. After 4 cycles of chemo in april 2021, I was advised to take preventive chemo thats milder (Azacitidine for 12 cycles). This chemo started in May 2021 until Nov 2022. Now I have achieved complete remission & stopped all treatment. what are my chances here, is there a likelihood of relapse, if yes should I take any preventive steps like ayurveda etc. I dont have prior history of smoking or drinking, have maintained healthy diet all along
Male | 48
Remission from treatment is wonderful news. Your relapse chances vary but maintaining a healthy lifestyle remains vital. AML relapse risk exists, as it's a complex cancer. Ayurvedic therapies support wellbeing, but regular medical follow-ups catch relapses early. Keep doing what you're doing, and stay connected with your care team.

I want to know about Triple-negative breast cancer as our doctor hinted that my aunt has signs of this specific type of breast cancer.
Female | 57
The term triple-negative breast cancer means that the cancer cells do not have estrogen or progesterone receptors and does not make too much of the protein called HER2. ( therefore the cells test "negative" on all 3 tests.)
Triple-negative breast cancer has less treatment options available than other types of invasive breast cancer. The reason being the cancer cells do not have enough estrogen or progesterone receptors or HER2 protein for hormone therapy or targeted drugs to work.
Treatment options are chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery mainly. But consulting clinician on time and starting the treatment is important. Regular follow up with doctor with lifestyle modifications and counselling will help. Consult an oncologist.
Hope our answer helps you.

How can one know she has breast cancer
Female | 20
It is possible to diagnose breast cancer by self-examination in that you have a look and feel for any lumps or other abnormal changes in the tissue. However, please note that breast cancer can also be symptomless, so a person needs to have examinations by an endocrinologist or gynecologist once in a while.
