The cholangiocarcinoma treatment for stage IV depends on whether the tumor is resectable or unresectable.
- The resectable tumor is that kind of tumor that can be removed completely through surgery. The treatment options for the resectable tumor are:
- Surgery
- Radiation therapy and /or Chemotherapy
- The unresectable tumor is that kind of tumor that cannot be removed completely through surgery. The treatment options for the unresectable tumor are:
- Liver transplant
- Radiation and/or chemo
- Ablation
- Clinical trials
- Palliative Care
- Some of the hospitals known for cancer treatment in Mumbai are:
- Tata Memorial Hospital (Government Hospital)
- All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) (Government Hospital)
Hope this information helps you. You can find more hospitals on our page - Best Cancer Hospitals in India.

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.

Hello, I have been diagnosed with Squamous cell carcinoma in mouth. Please suggest the best possible treatment.
Squamous cells is a thin, flat cells lining inside of the lips and oral cavity. The Cancer that grows in this cell is called squamous cell carcinomas. Squamous cell carcinoma usually develops in areas of leukoplakia (white patches of cells that do not rub off). Treatment options for squamous cell carcinoma depends on the stage of cancer, size of tumor and location of the cancer (where it is in the lip or oral cavity), also whether the patient's appearance and ability to talk and eat can stay the same, as well as their age and general health. Patients with lip and oral cavity cancer should have their treatment planned by a team of doctors who are expert in treating head and neck cancer. Two types of standard treatment are used: Surgery, Radiation therapy. Consult Oncologists in Mumbai, or in any other city.

Hi, I want to know about Palliative Chemotherapy. Recently, my aunt was suggested this treatment by her Oncologist when she was diagnosed with 3rd stage Pancreatic Cancer. I wanted to know if this is a specific stage-based treatment or is it given for all kinds of cancer?
Palliative chemotherapy is a treatment that is designed for terminal cancer patients to prolong their survival and ease symptoms of cancer, but does not cure disease. It can be administered in a variety of ways with the most common being:
- Orally: Pills taken by mouth.
- Intravenously (IV): Infused through a vein.
- Topically: Applied to the skin.
Consult Cancer Treatment doctors in Mumbai, or any city nearer to you. Hope our answer helps you.

Hello, my mother is suffering from T-cell lymphoma stage 3. Is it curable?
As per my understanding your mother is suffering from T-cell lymphoma stage 3. As per literature the survival rate for lymphoma stage III, is of 5 years in 83% of patients. But still she needs to be under observation of an oncologist. Further investigations, treatment all depends on her general condition and stage and type of cancer. Routine cytology with PET scans, and others may be required. But line of investigations is all planned according to patient's response to treatment and doctor's decision. It varies from case to case.

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.

Female | 4
Your daughter has lymphoma. This is a kind of cancer that affects the body's germ fighters. Some signs are swollen lymph nodes, weight loss without trying, and feeling very tired. We don't know exactly what causes lymphoma, but things like infections or changes in genes may play a part. There are treatments like chemo, radiation, and sometimes surgery. Doctors will make a special treatment plan for your daughter. It's important to work closely with her medical team.

Hi, my father was diagnosed with carcinoma right colon, features are suggestive of well-differentiated mucinous papillary adenocarcinoma of the colon with metastasis to the lymph node and treated with extended radical right hemicolectomy side to side ileocolic anastomosis done under GA one year back followed by chemotherapy. We need a second opinion as his blood report reveals a presence of 17.9 ng/mL of carcinoembryonic antigen. Can you please suggest me a good hospital in Bangalore with less cost? The previous doctor suggested a PET CT scan.
As per my understanding, your father is suffering from carcinoma of the right colon with metastasis to lymph node and treated surgically and chemotherapy. Once any cancer which has spread to the lymph nodes it means it is stage 3 where the prognosis is not so good. But still consult an oncologist. Hope our answer helps you.

My friend is going through cancer treatment. But the thing is, although her side-effects are decreasing there is no sign of cancer going away. Can you tell me if immunotherapy can help her? She is battling Prostate cancer and it's been 3 months now since she was diagnosed.
I think you have mistaken with the name of the cancer. A female does not have a prostate, so no prostate cancer. Consult the treating oncologists, who will guide you and help you choose the best treatment available. Hope our answer helps you.

My brother in law is diagnosed liver cancer by the Doctors in Cuttack, Odisha. He is relatively poor with almost no resources to support the treatment. With my limited income of around Rs 8 lakhs per year, I need to support him. The Regional Research center named " Acharya Harihar Cancer Research center" at Cuttack seems having no modern technology to treat the same ( Please correct me, if I am wrong). Request you to guide me which hospital can be the best choice. I can spend maximum upto 3-4 laks from my savings. Thanks in advance for the help. he needs immediate treatment.
