Hello Sandeep! Regarding treatment, the doctor will check the slide and block of mutation tests and then decide the line of treatment for you. If you aren't satisfied with your treatment in Pune, I would suggest you come to Mumbai for further treatment. As your disease has progressed quite a lot, I would recommend you come down to Mumbai as soon as possible. I would suggest you go to a Government Hospital.
You will find numerous hospitals on our pages - Cancer Hospitals in Mumbai and Cancer Hospitals in Pune.

I am an Asthma patient and use an inhaler. I feel pain in my throat because of the inhaler. Is there a possibility of me getting Throat cancer in the future?

Several studies have shown that chronic inflammation in the lungs caused due to asthma may be a factor in causing lung cancer. That means when asthma, is combined with other causes, may increase the risk of lung cancer.

Consult a pulmonologist, who on evaluating the patient will help you to identify the risk factor in your case. Hope our answer helps you.

Hello, I am experiencing some symptoms of Prostate Cancer. Is there any way to check if you have prostate cancer or not without visiting a hospital?

Consulting a clinician and getting thoroughly evaluated is the right way to get yourself diagnosed and treated. Just searching, reading and trying to match your symptoms to a particular disease will lead to unnecessary stress, anxiety and delay in treatment. So please get examined by Urology Consultation doctors in Mumbai, or any city of convenience, and if some pathology is detected then get treated.
