Melanoma skin cancer in stage 4 . How I increase survival rate
Answered on 18th Apr '24
Stage 4 melanoma skin cancer means the disease has moved to other body parts. You may notice weird moles, spots that change, and feel unwell. Too much sunlight exposure causes it. Treatments like surgery, chemo, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy help. But survival rates rise by listening to your oncologist and checking regularly.

my uncle had scc on left lateral border of tongue and underwent widelocal excision and adj chemo and radio but with in 9 months it was reoccured in the opp field @ right lateral border of the tongue can please suggest me the further treatment plan and etiology/ cause for the reoccurrence kindly
Answered on 18th Apr '24
Your uncle's situation with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma on the opposite side of his tongue is difficult. Treating this type of cancer again can involve surgery, radiation therapy, or combining both approaches. The reason for recurrence often stems from remaining cancerous cells left behind after initial surgery. Your uncle must consult his oncologist about subsequent treatment options available.

I have been chemotherapy in my body for a year. And I have a loss of appetite, so how can I get rid of chemotherapy in my body?
Answered on 16th Jan '24
It is important to state that chemotherapy remains in the body for some time after therapy. Appetite loss is a widely observed side effect; it is particularly important to ensure proper nutrition. Consulting with an oncologist or a registered dietitian is suggested in order to create personalized diet plan which should help improve appetite and control signs.

Ive always had discharge for as long as I can remember and at my 8 week postpartum checkup the doctor checked me but said it wasn’t alarming because it’s not bothering me. I am currently 4 months postpartum and noticed I was getting discharge that had a slight odour and the discharge left rashes between my thighs and it got to the point I couldn’t wear underwear because the discharge would get more and I keep getting rashes. I noticed it getting a little bit better when I stopped wearing underwear the smell was still slightly fishy but not too terrible like before but recently after sexual intercourse I bled a little. Now google says it’s either the C word or some infection. I’m aware I should go doctor right away but I’m just not able to do so , my last two screenings for cervical cancer with my Pap smear came negative it was in 2018 and 2021. What’s the reason I bled?
Answered on 15th Jan '24
Postpartum, it is normal to discharge but rashes and odor can prove an infection. Sex-related bleeding is not normal and may indicate a problem. This is why it’s important to go and see a doctor so that they can rule out any serious conditions. Cervical cancer screenings are also significant, but they do not detect all problems. If you are experiencing symptoms, do not waste time before seeing a doctor.

How fast does sarcoma grow?
Answered on 10th Jan '24
There is a wide range of growth that can be observed in sarcoma, which refers to cancer on the soft tissues and bones. Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors, and their rate of growth varies subject to various factors such as the specific subtype of sarcoma detected in an individual patient’s body, its location within that person’s tissue or organ composition. Some sarcomas grow slowly over time, others can develop rapidly. Earlier diagnosis results in better outcomes as early intervention and treatment are established. Regular medical guides, symptoms monitoring and testing are among the most important procedures for determining how much sarcomas develop or grow while helping to form an effective treatment plan designed specifically for a given patient. For a thorough check-up and cancer treatment, India has some of the best cancer hospitals that you can explore.

Answered on 8th Feb '23
Treatment depends on the stage of cancer, health condition and patient's age. Surgery, chemo, radiation therapy or a combination of all these may be included in the treatment. But that can be confirmed after physical diagnosis. At an early stage, surgery may be the only treatment. If advanced stage then chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be required to shrink the tumor before or after surgery.
