Hello, Your sister's Breast cancer can be cured. In this case, surgery will be the best option as cancer has spread to the retro-pectoral lymph nodes. The lymph nodes will be removed surgically by the Surgical Oncologist. Now coming to the hospitals, you can either go to government/charitable hospital or a private hospital according to your preference and budget. The benefit of government hospitals is that it will provide you free/affordable cancer treatment but will have a long waiting time and on the other hand, Private hospitals will have premium cost but no waiting time with best facilities. Below are the government hospitals located in Mumbai:
- Tata Memorial Hospital, Lower Parel, Mumbai
- ACTREC (Advanced Cancer Treatment, Research and Education Centre), Kharghar, Navi Mumbai
Hope my answer helps you. You can find more on our page - Cancer Hospitals in India.

Hello, my mother is suffering from Pancreatic Cancer is there any permanent treatment to cure it?
As per my understanding you want to know about the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Treatment for any cancer in general depends on the stage of cancer, location of cancer, patient's age, associated comorbidities and other factors.
The treatment mainly includes surgery according to location of cancer, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of these. In advanced cancer palliative care is of more importance when routine treatment.
Consult an oncologist for guidance. Hope our answer helps you.

Have a node in my armpit its pain when I press
Female | 27
It is likely that the node in your armpit is an enlarged lymph node. This can happen due to infections or other medical conditions. You need to see a specialist who will diagnose the underlying cause and take appropriate measures. Sometimes, an oncologist or an infectious disease specialist has to be referred to.

I'd want to ask a few questions about colon cancer. My brother is a colon cancer patient and is undergoing chemotherapy. I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and chest pain are usual symptoms.
Chemotherapy always has mild to moderate side effects. Nausea, Vomiting, hyperacidity and weakness are common side effects.
During the chemotherapy sessions and even after it some pre and post Chemotherapy drugs are prescribed to prevent or reduce these side effects. In case of extensive discomfort you should always consult your medical oncologist and seek his/her opinion

Female | 21
If the cracking of nipple is not responding to ointment what needs to be ruled out is a Paget's disease of the nipple. This requires a clinical examination by a breast surgeon and he or she can guide you further on the same.

Based on the information you have provided, it seems that the patient has a pontine glioma, which is a type of brain tumor that is located in the pons region of the brainstem. The symptoms you have listed, such as impaired vision and mobility, dysarthia, dysphagia, and breathing difficulties, can be caused by the presence of a brain tumor in the pons region. It is important for the patient to receive appropriate medical care and treatment for their condition. This may involve a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the specific characteristics of the tumor and the patient's overall health. It is important for you to follow treatment plan as recommended by your neurosurgeon and to continue to monitor symptoms closely.

My father was diagnosed with Esophageal cancer 5 years back and treated with surgery and chemo in Chennai. He was cancer free. But he was recently diagnosed with gastric cancer at an early stage. Doctor asked it is curable but we are anxious cause he is 69 and we really don't know whether he can take this trauma. Please suggest a good hospital in Chennai that is good for Gastric cancer
In very early cancers I.e stage 1 mucosal - just an excision from inside the stomach is needed. It can be done endoscopically without any sutures or scars. However if it is slightly advanced, then the surgery will be a bit complex as he already has undergone surgery for the esophagus. However if the disease is limited, he should definitely undergo treatment for the stomach cancer .

What are the symptoms one can experience if they have Eye Cancer? Are they noticeable or do they go unnoticed?
Eye cancer does not always cause obvious symptoms and may only be picked up during a routine eye test. Some of the common symptoms of eye cancer are:
- Shadows
- Flashes of light
- Blurred vision
- Dark patch in eye that's getting bigger
- Partial or total loss of vision
- Bulging of 1 eye
- A lump on eyelid or in eye that's increasing in size
- Pain in or around eye, others.
The above mentioned symptoms can also be caused by more minor eye conditions, so they're not necessarily a sign of cancer. Consult an ophthalmologist. Hope our answer helps you.

Worried I have cancer to many systoms
Male | 57
Some symptoms like losing weight, lumps, and feeling tired often make us fear cancer. But lots of other factors can also cause these signs. Weight changes, lumpy areas, constant fatigue – these might be worrisome, yet they don't necessarily mean cancer. Sure, cancer remains a possibility if symptoms persist. Many other reasons exist for such symptoms. If concerned, consult a doctor – they'll provide guidance.

I am 75 yr old and I have recently discover that I have pancreatic cancer . Because of my age I want to go for an easier treatment like targetted treatment for cancer which doesnot include needles and surgery and chemo
Female | 75
Pancreatic cancer is a terrible sickness. It may give you symptoms such as stomach aches, weight loss, and jaundice. Cancer is a condition that occurs when cells in the body grow too much. For treatment, targeted therapy might be an option. It can fight cancer with no needles or surgery. You should talk to an oncologist for more details.

Galeme cancer hai usaka aurvedic upchar ho sakta hai kya
Male | 65
Ayurvedic medicine has been used to treat various conditions but it may not be suitable for all health issues. If someone is diagnosed with throat cancer.. conventional cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy have been proven effective in many cases. So consult an oncologist for proper cancer treatment and evaluation.

my uncle had scc on left lateral border of tongue and underwent widelocal excision and adj chemo and radio but with in 9 months it was reoccured in the opp field @ right lateral border of the tongue can please suggest me the further treatment plan and etiology/ cause for the reoccurrence kindly
Male | 47
Your uncle's situation with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma on the opposite side of his tongue is difficult. Treating this type of cancer again can involve surgery, radiation therapy, or combining both approaches. The reason for recurrence often stems from remaining cancerous cells left behind after initial surgery. Your uncle must consult his oncologist about subsequent treatment options available.

My masi had whipple surgery in Feb 2021. Since November she has been feeling pain, bloating stomach and cramps but initially she ignored it as it is very common in people. But recently it became severe and so I consulted our doctor. Few reports are yet to come but doctor is thinking there might be peritoneal carcinomas to her stomach lining. That can lead to the early stage of Peritoneal cancer. Can you please show some light on this? We are extremely confused
Yes post Whipple surgery pain and discomfort for limited time period is a common complain. A thorough examination and investigations are mandatory if we are suspecting any progression of disease. There are specific Cancer markers which can help us diagnose the condition. Peritoneal Carcinoma has to be ruled out as soon as possible. Exact comment on treatment planning can only be done once all the investigations are done. So be in touch with your surgical oncologist and for any help.
