Q: How can stomach cancer be cured?

Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are the major treatments for stomach cancer. You might get one or a combination of these treatments. You could need chemotherapy before surgery if it's suggested. If the tumor is in the upper region of your stomach, including the oesophagus-stomach junction, you may need radiation before surgery. Chemotherapy and radiation are usually used after surgery. The primary goal of treatment is to eradicate the tumor and any other cancerous cells in your body as completely as possible. A cure is believed to be achievable in 20 to 30 percent of stomach cancer patients.

If you have a donor (family member) then only you can only proceed with liver transplant. The cost of liver transplant in India would be approximately 35,000 USD (2,500,000 INR) and the cost of Surgical Resection can be approximately 3,500 USD (250,000 INR).

It is vital to consult an oncologist to receive the best in terms of treatment.

Hi, my father was diagnosed with carcinoma right colon, features are suggestive of well-differentiated mucinous papillary adenocarcinoma of the colon with metastasis to the lymph node and treated with extended radical right hemicolectomy side to side ileocolic anastomosis done under GA one year back followed by chemotherapy. We need a second opinion as his blood report reveals a presence of 17.9 ng/mL of carcinoembryonic antigen. Can you please suggest me a good hospital in Bangalore with less cost? The previous doctor suggested a PET CT scan.

As per my understanding, your father is suffering from carcinoma of the right colon with metastasis to lymph node and treated surgically and chemotherapy. Once any cancer which has spread to the lymph nodes it means it is stage 3 where the prognosis is not so good. But still consult an oncologist. Hope our answer helps you.

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.

Squamous cells is a thin, flat cells lining inside of the lips and oral cavity. The Cancer that grows in this cell is called squamous cell carcinomas. Squamous cell carcinoma usually develops in areas of leukoplakia (white patches of cells that do not rub off). Treatment options for squamous cell carcinoma depends on the stage of cancer, size of tumor and location of the cancer (where it is in the lip or oral cavity), also whether the patient's appearance and ability to talk and eat can stay the same, as well as their age and general health. Patients with lip and oral cavity cancer should have their treatment planned by a team of doctors who are expert in treating head and neck cancer. Two types of standard treatment are used: Surgery, Radiation therapy. Consult Oncologists in Mumbai, or in any other city.

Hi my name is Melissa Duodu and My mom has been having for the past 2 years CDI right breast stage IV for cerebral, hepatic, bone mestases, already treated with systematic therapy (two lines) with recent critical relapse in known epilepsy symptomatic of cerebral mestasis. severe obesity. carrier of hemoglobinosis C. I wanna know if there’s any kind of way to cure all this diagnose.

Female | 41

The malignant tumor in the right breast is stage IV, with metastases in the brain, liver, and bones. This is considered a very severe situation. The upcoming seizure can be associated with a brain tumor, which would finally become the cause of the disorder. The patient also has some other concerns like hemoglobin c and increasing weight. Consequently, in advanced cases, oncologists guide patients to symptom control, relieve pain, and enhance life quality.

Hello, I'm a 22 year old recently visited a breast clinic in Bhopal. It's almost a month now I am having breast pain, swelling, and my left nipple was inverted more than usual. After the ultrasound I was just given a leaflet about fibroadenoma and she didn't explain. My left nipple has become much more inverted and sunken in and it takes a long time to emerge. Is this something that happens with cancer? I've been worried for months now that this could be cancer even though my doctor didn't seem concerned that it was. Because I am quite young and have no such family history of cancer maybe she overlooked the situation.

Swelling or lump in breast, inverted nipple, pain in breast and lumps in axilla should always be checked thoroughly. These are very common signs which can be seen in Fibroadenoma and also early stage breast cancers. Regular Mammography and biopsy is very important to assess the exact nature of disease. So we would suggest you to undergo a biopsy and visit oncologist to know the exact nature of swelling and it's treatment plan.

As my uncle has recently been diagnosed with cancer, I was trying to read about radiotherapy on the internet. Is it really the best and a risk-free procedure?

As per my understanding patient is suffering from cancer and you want to know about the best available treatment. The treatment for any cancer in general depends on the stage of cancer, location of cancer, patient's age, and associated comorbidities and other factors.

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 are not preferred.

Consult oncologists, who on evaluation of the patient will guide you for the best treatment available. Hope our answer helps you.
