The tests required for detection of Head & Neck cancer and the number of days for the results to come in are:

  1. Needle Biopsy: 2-3 days
  2. Endoscopy: 1-2 weeks
  3. PET-CT scan: 2 days
  4. X-ray: 1-2 days
  5. Ultrasound: 1-2 days
  6. MRI: 1-2 days

As no test requires more than 2 weeks, so I would suggest you to not wait for that long and immediately visit some other doctor.

The hospitals that you can refer in Tamil Nadu: Cancer Hospitals in Tamil Nadu. Hope this helps you.

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.

My wife's age is 41 years and she got operated on by laparoscopy on 21 February 2020 for stone in gallblader. However, histopathological report of the gallbladder which has been cut out shows Carcinoma grade 2. Please guide me for further treatment.

41 year old lady underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallbladder stones, post surgery if biopsy turned to be cancer, we need to evaluate and treat further. My question is what else treatment u had after diagnosis of cancer. Usually we do PET CT scan to know stage followed by radical cholecystectomy for gallbladder cancer. Frankly speaking gallbladder cancer per se has poor prognosis only

I am a 24 year old girl presenting all classic symptoms of hogdkins lymphoma, but im not sure what is the next step

Female | 24

I know it is hard to have symptoms that seem like­ Hodgkin's lymphoma. This kind of cancer can make the lymph node­s swell up. It can make you fee­l very tired too. You might lose we­ight without trying. You might get sweaty at night. The be­st thing to do is see a doctor who treats cance­r. The doctor might need to do a te­st called a biopsy to know for sure if you have Hodgkin's lymphoma. The­ biopsy can help the doctor plan the right tre­atment for you.

Hi I have cancer in my neck I have a lump under my ear my lymph node pains and my jaw will not open, tonsil, pelvic bone and just started in my spin, is there any treatment or alternative treatment available to cure my cancer

Female | 57

Yes there are various treatment options available. But you must consult with an oncologist or cancer specialist to discuss best treatment options. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy are the treatment options for cancer normally. Alternative treatments can be used alongside traditional cancer treatments to improve overall well-being.

I am a patient of rectal cancer with adenocarcinoma with cignet ring cell carcinoma, and got immunotherapy in ayurvedic through oral medications also got almost cured for three months. But again rectal bleeding and severe pain started and there is wound pist radiotherapy just at bottom inside layer of anus.

Male | 33

It's possible that the wound from your radiotherapy treatment has not fully healed or that there may be other factors contributing to your symptoms. You should communicate openly with your doctor about your symptoms, concerns, and treatment history, as they will have the best understanding of your problems.

I have breast cancer, but there are no mutations in the genetic test in 70 genes, what could cause cancer?

Female | 28

Breast cancer can have various causes, and not all cases are linked to genetic mutations. Factors like age, family history, hormones, reproductive history, etc. can also contribute to breast cancer risk. It's a complex disease and personalized treatment plans are required. Consult with an oncologist for accurate guidance.

Can Gastrointestinal bleeding cause Colon cancer?

Gastrointestinal bleeding may be one of the symptoms of colon cancer. Consult an oncologist, who on examining the patient, may advise some tests like blood tests, stool test, colonoscopy and others, based on these test reports the doctor will come to a conclusion whether the patient is having colon cancer or not, and then will guide you to choose the best treatment suitable for the patient. Hope our answer helps you.
