My 58 year old mother has been experiencing abdominal pain and bloating for a few months now. Given our family history of ovarian cancer, we are quite worried. Could you please explain how Ovarian Cancer Detection is typically conducted for someone her age and what steps we should take next?

This type of cancer often leads to irregular bleeding and discomfort in the pelvic region. Following surgery, chemotherapy or radiation may eliminate lingering cancer cells. Regular medical examinations are crucial to track her condition. Please visit an oncologist for a personalized treatment plan.

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?

Female | 18
I recommend you to go to the breast specialist urgently to get a full diagnostic examination. Mass in the breast may be a sign of breast cancer, but not all the causes are the same.

Hi, I have a doubt, is there any specific reason for which immunotherapy is not recommended in the early stages of any cancer?
Chemotherapy works by stopping or blocking cancer cells from growing and immunotherapy works by boosting up a patient's immune system to find and then attack cancer. Though immunotherapy is gaining popularity but still it is in growing stage.
Chemotherapies have been key to cancer treatment from a very long time with all established and compiled data regarding the effects and side effects thus making doctors more confident about it in comparison to immunotherapy which is still newer. But gradually it is proving itself in some cancers as preferred line of treatment. Consult an oncologist for clear understanding.
Hope our answer helps you.

can cervical cancer cause b12 deficiency?
Female | 44
No, cervical cancer does not directly cause B12 deficiency. However, some cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, may affect the absorption of vitamin B12 in the body, leading to a deficiency. It is important to monitor B12 levels in cancer patients undergoing treatment and supplement as necessary to prevent deficiency.

Stage 4 colon cancer means that the disease spreads beyond its origin. Weight loss, fatigue, abdominal pain - these are potential symptoms. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy - as treatment options do exist. Work closely with an oncologist for optimal treatment strategy.
