Based on the information you have provided, it seems that the patient has a pontine glioma, which is a type of brain tumor that is located in the pons region of the brainstem. The symptoms you have listed, such as impaired vision and mobility, dysarthia, dysphagia, and breathing difficulties, can be caused by the presence of a brain tumor in the pons region. It is important for the patient to receive appropriate medical care and treatment for their condition. This may involve a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the specific characteristics of the tumor and the patient's overall health.

Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma confirmed by doctor. Pembrolizumab monotherapy suggested. What is cost of this therapy per session and how many therapy required. Prognosis ?

Male | 45

Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma - that's the type of cancer you have. It means cancer has spread. Doctors suggest Pembrolizumab treatment. This therapy costs thousands per session. You may need several sessions. The outlook varies from person to person. For some, Pembrolizumab shrinks or stops cancer growth. Others don't respond well. Discuss potential benefits and risks with your oncologist.

I recommend you to go to the breast specialist urgently to get a full diagnostic examination. Mass in the breast may be a sign of breast cancer, but not all the causes are the same.

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.

My father had to go through prostate gland surgery two times. First time in 2016 in Siliguri and 2nd one is from Amri Hospital, Mukundapur, Kolkata in 2021. Both the biopsy reports came negative. But the doctor said it might happen again. My question is if we had to operate another time, would it be cancerous?

Many a time prostate gland increases in size without any cancerous component called as Benign prostate hypertrophy which occurs due to age factor. Every time the surgery is done, some tissue is always sent for histopathological investigation which shows whether the disease is cancerous or not.

After any cancer surgery and chemotherapy sessions it is mandatory to have regular follow up visits with an oncologist to check any signs of disease. There are many side effects of surgery and chemotherapy which also has to be dealt with, that is the reason why even though cancer free but regular follow up is mandatory.

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.

My uncle 67 years old had a surgery to remove colon cancer and one liver metastasis, the tumor tests are : mismatch repair proficient, her 2 +ve score 3+ , braf for v600e negative, what is next?

Male | 67

After the surgical removal of colon cancer and a liver metastasis, the next steps may involve targeted therapy, given the HER2-positive status, possibly with drugs like trastuzumab. Since the BRAF V600E mutation is negative, certain chemotherapy options may be effective. Your uncle's oncologist will tailor a treatment plan based on these findings, incorporating adjuvant chemotherapy and possibly targeted therapies. Regular follow-ups and open communication with the healthcare team will be essential for ongoing care and monitoring his response to treatment.
