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.

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.

Hi, I want to know about Palliative Chemotherapy. Recently, my aunt was suggested this treatment by her Oncologist when she was diagnosed with 3rd stage Pancreatic Cancer. I wanted to know if this is a specific stage-based treatment or is it given for all kinds of cancer?
Palliative chemotherapy is a treatment that is designed for terminal cancer patients to prolong their survival and ease symptoms of cancer, but does not cure disease. It can be administered in a variety of ways with the most common being:
- Orally: Pills taken by mouth.
- Intravenously (IV): Infused through a vein.
- Topically: Applied to the skin.

Does cancer come back in everyone who is cured after treatment?
Male | 22
When an individual undergoes treatment and the disease fades away, it’s a relief. Nonetheless, there are times when it recurs after going into remission. It is contingent on the kind of malignancy one has as well as the method used for healing it. Signs that can indicate its reoccurrence may be similar to those experienced during the first onset such as unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or formation of new masses. To avoid its resurgence, you need to keep seeing your doctor for regular checkups besides living healthily.

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