The life expectancy for malignant ascites the accumulation of cancerous fluid in abdomen differs greatly and depends on several factors such as nature of underlying cancer, stage at which it is detected , patient’s health status etc. Since malignant ascites is frequently seen in established cancer, it can be considered a symptom of worse prognosis. Issues pertaining to the progression of malignancy, complications arising from ascites and effectiveness of treatments may be a problem for patients with malignant ascites. The emphasis is on palliative care to deal with symptoms and improve quality of life. However, survival rates vary case by case and it is important to talk to your oncologist about prognosis , treatment alternatives, supportive care measurements.

Does they treat for last stage of Cancer

Male | 38

The end-of-life phase cancer therapy focuses on symptom management and quality of life enhancement instead of cancer treatment. Symptoms may be severe pain, weight loss, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. The causes of cancer are different but can be genetic, lifestyle factors, or environmental exposure. Treatment may include palliative care such as pain management and supportive therapy for the person to be more comfortable.

Good morning. On examination of the CT scan and the MRI they detected a thymoma, with a benign appearance. Do you think I should remove it or do a biopsy first? THANKS

Female | 65

First, a biopsy should be performed in order to confirm the diagnosis of thymoma. When the diagnosis is made, it should be surgically removed. See a thoracic surgeon to have correct diagnosis and management.

Her 2 POSITIVE Right Breast Cancer ,after Chemo sessions planned for surgery, how many methods of surgeries are available, is there any difference of methodology from other hospitals of Hyderabad to Tata Memorial one. want to have opinion for the surgery sir,

Female | 57

There are several different methods of surgery that can be used to treat right breast cancer. The most common treatments are mastectomy (removal of the entire breast), breast-conserving surgery, and lymph node dissection. The type of surgery for you will depend on the size and location of the tumor, the stage of the cancer, and the your individual preferences. The methodology for performing surgery at Tata Memorial Hospital is likely to be similar to that of other hospitals in Hyderabad. However, there may be slight differences due to the individual expertise and experience of the surgeons at each hospital. You discuss your options with your doctor and ask for their opinion on the best type of surgery for you.
