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.

Hello Sir, I am from Ludhiana. My masi had gone through breast cancer operation and chemotherapy quite a few years (7 years) back from Apollo hospital, Chennai. Since then she often falls sick (feels weak, drowsy throughout the day, bad taste) all of a sudden once in 4-6 months and then again normal. We did many tests but nothing was diagnosed and there was no sign of cancer. We want to know if it is an after effect of chemotherapy and guide how to go through with this. She is now 56.
Yes some side effects of chemotherapy following breast surgery are weakness, drowsiness and altered taste. Proper nutrition and sufficient fluid intake is of utmost importance. You need to visit oncologist for any medication for that will help her in minimizing the side effects.

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.

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.

I am 49 years old. It has been a month now I have noticed that I have been experiencing pain and a burning sensation during urinating. I consulted with my gynec and she prescribed vaginal suppositories. Initially I got relief but then again it started. I feel the need to go to the washroom more frequently than usual. I am not diabetic. After all this, I didn't take it seriously. But for the last 2-3 days I had difficulties in holding it. Now I feel this is very serious because I am not old enough for this problem. I searched on the internet and found it could be a reason for bladder cancer. Is that so? Please refer to a good female doctor. I am perplexed about all these and it's making my life miserable.
Hi , don’t worry abt cancer and all.I feel it’s a urinary tract infection, get a urine routine microscopy test followed by urine culture and sensitivity.If urine routine report shows pus cells and bacteria then our diagnosis is confirmed. Visit a gynecologist with your reports.

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.
