Hello Sachin, Treatment for oral cancer (mouth cancer) or any other cancer normally depends on the type, location, and stage of the cancer, age of patient and patient's general condition when diagnosed.

Oral cancer treatment includes:

surgery in early stages,
Radiation therapy,
Chemotherapy.
Treatment for advanced stages will usually involve a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Targeted therapy can be effective in both early and advanced stages of cancer.

In your case, depending of stage of cancer or if it is recurring, the clinician will decide about the line of treatment. Very important is nutrition of patient as eating will be a concern during and after treatment for some time. Hygiene of mouth is also very important and not to be missed. In case of advanced oral cancer, the patient may need reconstructive surgery and some rehabilitation to assist with eating and speaking during recovery. Speech therapist, nutritionist will be needed. Kindly consult an oncologist for evaluation.

Hope my answer helps you. Refer this page to find doctors - Oncologist In India.

Male | 30

Persistent throat pain can have many causes.. and while smoking is a known risk factor for throat cancer, it doesn't necessarily mean you have cancer if you experience throat pain. There are many other possible reasons for throat discomfort, like infections, allergies, acid reflux, or even smoking-related issues like irritation and inflammation. If you're very concerned you can visit for a checkup at your nearest cancer hospital.

Your son got diagnosed with pineoblastoma, a brain tumor type. This affects mostly kids. Headaches, throwing up, eye issues, and feeling wobbly happen. Immunotherapy may help his immune system against the tumor. It works sometimes but not always. Side effects exist too, and costs matter. Your son's oncologist knows best about this treatment option.

A 45 year old woman just had surgery of left kidney removal due to renal cell carcinoma. A report came back saying “Microscopically; - left side radical nephrectomy ; - Sections show; renal cell carcinoma, nuclear grade Ill according WHO/ISUP grading system (composed of 4 grade), the growth composed of diffuse, tubular micropapillary patterns, the cells having granular eosinophilic cytoplasm, with invasion of pelvicalyseal system and renal sinus. Minimal tumor necrosis. Positive Lymphovascular and renal capsular invasion (but no invasion to perirenal fat). No renal vein invasion. Pieces of rib was tumor free. The growth limited to kidney, no extra renal extension. AJCC TNM staging 2N0Mx group stage I| (T2= mass > 7 cm< 10 cm limited to kidney)”. Some doctors are stating that chemotherapy is needed now because there is a risk of it being spread in the body (not necessarily organs). So my question is what does this report summarize or mean? Can you explain it to me and how chemotherapy really is needed?

Female | 45

Chemotherapy aims to eliminate unseen cancer cells, preventing future recurrence. It serves as a precautionary measure against the disease. Chemotherapy targets potential residual cancer cells undetectable through scans. This additional treatment bolsters defenses, reducing chances of cancer's return. It provides an extra safeguard, increasing the odds of successful management.

Since last month, I have been feeling bloated and uncomfortable all the time. Initially I thought of acidity problems and tried usual medicine and home remedies. However, since last week feeling a kind of pain as well. I visited our family doctor in Bahrampur and he added further tests including pelvic and stomach ultrasounds. I read about all these on the internet. My blood report didn't come good and I'm waiting for the ultrasound report as well. Am I experiencing pancreatic cancer symptoms?

Male | 25

Bloating, fullness and discomfort of abdomen in females should be taken seriously, especially in post-menopausal women. A correct diagnosis will require ultrasound of abdomen pelvis and further evaluation with CT scan or MRI. Also few tumor markers like CA-125, CEA, AFP, etc can take is closer to the diagnosis
