I'm 52 years old and have stopped periods since December 2019. Three years ago, I had left breast pain. I consulted a clinic and everything turned out well after mammograms and other procedures. Now after three years I'm still getting the pain and some discomfort in the left breast. I spoke with my usual doctor, but she advised me to visit a breast clinic. She believes it is hormonal but just wants to ensure. Is it possible that this type of breast pain is caused by cancer? I am pretty anxious now and searching on google made me more restless. Is it common in women or something terrible?

Post menopause (after periods) in females may cause many hormonal imbalances which cause pain in breasts, pain in stomach and some discomfort. But a regular check up of breast, PAP smears and ultrasonography investigations at regular intervals is mandatory to check and catch any disorder or disease in early stage. Only after a thorough investigation we can rule out and cancers. For more information you can visit nearest oncologist.

Can u cure the 1st stage of cancer
Male | 40
When we talk about cancer, early detection is the key. The 1st stage signifies that the tumors are still small and have not developed into metastasis yet. Symptoms may not be obvious, but you might notice some unusual body changes. Causes may differ, but always it is not clear why they emerge. The main solution for 1st-stage cancer is to remove or destroy the abnormal cells through treatments like surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. The end goal of these therapies is to eliminate cancer and prevent its recurrence. Timely diagnosis and treatment are the factors controlling successful acute leukemia treatment in the first stage.

Hi my husband was diagnosed with secondary lung cancer. Doctors asked for immunotherapy. Should we consult for a second opinion or is it fine to go with immunotherapy?
Male | 53
Please consult Medical Oncologist so that he can advice you properly with a protocol. In recent times immunotherapy works best for lung cancer.
Answered on 23rd May '24

Dr. Mukesh Carpenter
Hi, I have a doubt, is there any specific reason for which immunotherapy is not recommended in the early stages of any cancer?
Chemotherapy works by stopping or blocking cancer cells from growing and immunotherapy works by boosting up a patient's immune system to find and then attack cancer. Though immunotherapy is gaining popularity but still it is in growing stage.
Chemotherapies have been key to cancer treatment from a very long time with all established and compiled data regarding the effects and side effects thus making doctors more confident about it in comparison to immunotherapy which is still newer. But gradually it is proving itself in some cancers as preferred line of treatment. Consult an oncologist for clear understanding.
Hope our answer helps you.

Is there any treatment for prostate cancer in ayurveda
Male | 69
Prostate cancer occurs when abnormal cells multiply in the prostate gland, leading to complications. Common symptoms include difficulty urinating, blood in the urine, and pain in the back or hips. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medical practice, suggests herbal remedies and lifestyle changes to ease symptoms. However, modern treatments like surgery or radiation therapy are more commonly used to treat prostate cancer effectively.

Her 2 POSITIVE Right Breast Cancer ,after Chemo sessions planned for surgery, how many methods of surgeries are available, is there any difference of methodology from other hospitals of Hyderabad to Tata Memorial one. want to have opinion for the surgery sir,
Female | 57
There are several different methods of surgery that can be used to treat right breast cancer. The most common treatments are mastectomy (removal of the entire breast), breast-conserving surgery, and lymph node dissection. The type of surgery for you will depend on the size and location of the tumor, the stage of the cancer, and the your individual preferences. The methodology for performing surgery at Tata Memorial Hospital is likely to be similar to that of other hospitals in Hyderabad. However, there may be slight differences due to the individual expertise and experience of the surgeons at each hospital. You discuss your options with your doctor and ask for their opinion on the best type of surgery for you.

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.

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.
