Hello Sathymoorthy, The treatment for any cancer always depends on the age of the patient, stage of cancer, associated comorbidities, and patient's general condition. After a routine blood test, endoscopy, biopsy, Barium swallow test, EUS (endoscopic ultrasound), CT SCAN, PET scan are done. Once the type of cancer and the stage of cancer is evaluated the treatment is planned. The treatment includes surgery that is the removal of the affected part. Sometimes chemo is done prior and after to reduce the size of the tumour. After surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, Photodynamic therapy (In this non surgical procedure doctor injects a special substance into the esophagus making cells extra sensitive to light and then with help of an endoscope that has a laser at the end, the surgeon destroys cancer cells by burning them) are given as per doctors clinical expertise and patient's health. Very important is to be a part of the rehabilitation group. They will guide the patient and help him to handle the mental trauma person suffers due to cancer, will help through the treatment and follow up with professional help. Please consult an oncologist and let him evaluate the case and give you the best of treatment. Here we have listed a few best cancer hospitals in Chennai: 1.)

Treatment for stomach cancer includes surgery to remove tumors, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and potentially immunotherapy. The specific treatment plan depends on factors like the cancer's stage and the patient's overall health.
Palliative care is used to manage symptoms, and experimental treatments are done. The choice of treatment will be determined by your oncologist team, consulting with the patient.

Hi I am Nehal. My brother is 48 years old and we are from Rajkot. He was not well for the last few weeks so we consulted with our family doctor. After a CT scan and a few other tests on Friday, he was diagnosed with a couple of specks on one lung. It's size is 3.9 cm and the biopsy report says it's cancerous. Please refer us to a good place to treat him. We are not so strong financially. Is there any way to save him and treat him from Rajkot only?

Please consult, so that I may be able to guide you appropriately. Lung Cancer in early stages may be cured by a surgery.
