Mukh Mantri Punjab Cancer Raahat Kosh Scheme was initiated by the Government of Punjab with the aim of providing financial assistance to only Punjab resident cancer patients. Financial assistance of up to INR 1,50,000 is provided for the treatment of each cancer patient. Those exempted from the scheme are government employees, ESI employees and their dependents or anyone who has any kind of facility for medical reimbursement or has opted for health insurance by insurance companies. Beyond this, there are many hospitals in India that offer free cancer treatment to those in need. These hospitals are some of the best in the country and have a commendable record at successfully treating cancer patients every year.

Hello Sir, my mother was diagnosed with salivary gland cancer (parotid gland cancer) on 28th. It is in an advanced stage. She's 69, and on blood thinners. She is really scared and asked me to get a second opinion. Kindly refer someone who can help us through this condition.
We need to check few more details. Whether surgery done or not? Generally, surgery remains 1st step and on safe hands the age mentioned is really no an adverse factor.

Yes the liver cancer can spread to other tissues. Some of the most common metastasis sites are the lungs, bones, and lymph nodes. Early diagnosis and management of metastasis are necessary for adequate prevention or control.

I’m female, 17years old. I found that there is a lump in my left armpit, it has been there fro about two years. It doesn’t hurt when untouched but can hurt alittle tiny bit when pressed on or squshed. What is it? Cancer?
Female | 17
I would suggest that you consult medical expert in the field of breast health or oncology for further diagnostics. There may be a swollen lymph node, an infection or benign growth in your left armpit and these all should not have malignancy. Don’t wait and visit your doctor immediately.

Good morning. On examination of the CT scan and the MRI they detected a thymoma, with a benign appearance. Do you think I should remove it or do a biopsy first? THANKS
Female | 65
First, a biopsy should be performed in order to confirm the diagnosis of thymoma. When the diagnosis is made, it should be surgically removed. See a thoracic surgeon to have correct diagnosis and management.

My sister-in-law is 38 years old, fighting for her life, due to breast cancer. The stage of cancer is not yet determined as the doctors are waiting for a Biopsy report and PET scan. But initial examination reveals it is in stage 4. She is admitted to Fortis hospital, Amritsar, and getting treated for the chest fluid and blood count increase while waiting for lab reports. We are planning to start her treatment in Bangalore and we are confused about which hospital could help my sister-in-law fight this cancer successfully.

Male | 72
CAR-T cell therapy is a type of immune therapy, which can be beneficial in treating some cancers, but not always. A doctor will be able to find out whether such therapy suits his condition and to advise him on the best therapy in his case. It is vital to consult an oncologist to receive the best in terms of treatment.

I want to know about the early signs of throat cancer. What are the treatment options for it? If throat cancer is detected in its early stages, can it be cured without visiting any hospital?
Early signs of throat cancer can be persistent cough, throat irritation, wheezing, difficulty in swallowing, unexplained fatigue, weight loss and many more, but to treat any kind of disease you need to visit a doctor, don't come to a conclusion and don't try to treat it yourself.
Consult a doctor and get evaluated and have one to one consultation with an oncologist to get a better idea of your concerns. Consult Cancer Treatment doctors in Mumbai or any other city nearest to you. Hope our answer helps you.

Food pipe Cancer is safaring lase 1 month's
Female | 63
If someone is experiencing issues with their food pipe, it could indicate a serious problem. Symptoms like difficulty swallowing, pain, and unexplained weight loss may be signs of esophageal (food pipe) cancer, especially if these symptoms are new or unusual. This condition occurs when cells in the food pipe grow abnormally. It’s essential to see an oncologist for an evaluation. They can perform tests to identify the issue and recommend the best course of treatment.

I have no lumps, no changes in breasts etc. But I have pain in my armpit. It isn't there all the time, but I feel it throughout the day. Has anyone else had this? Is it just hormonal or could this be a sign of tumor and breast cancer?
Pain in the arm pit can be due to many reasons, infections and breast pathologies being most common. Hormonal changes are also associated with some pain in the arm pit areas. But it is always wise to get yourself examined by a Surgical Oncologist to rule out any pathologies associated with breasts. Self examination is the key to early diagnosis and management of Breast Cancers. Undergoing a simple Mammography can rule out any queries regarding breast lumps or tumors.
