My father age 78 years. His problem is swellowing . Metastatic oesophageal cancer is found in CT scan.we know that he cannot survive the chemotherepy. Small dose radiotherepy is completed but till now problem is as before radiation. Please guide me immunotherepy can be option for us.

Hello Sushil,

For an esophageal cancer, immunotherapy is definitely one of the options for your father.

If he is in the advanced stage he will be given Pembrolizumab, a drug used for this treatment and effective as long as he has had 2 prior treatments, including chemotherapy.

But if you say chemotherapy might be life threatening for him it is better if you visit a medical oncologist to see if this will be the best line of treatment for your father or not. It would be of great help if you can send all the health and test reports till date to give a better informed decision. Following page lists some of the best oncologists in India - Oncologist In India. Hope our answer helps.

My mother is suffering Gallbladder cancer in stage 4, we would like to discuss about her treatment.

Hello, In stage 4 Gallbladder cancer, the cancer has grown into one of the main blood vessels leading into the liver, or into lymph nodes or organs further away from the gallbladder. This stage is usually not treated with surgery, but the doctor may suggest it to relieve the symptoms caused by cancer blocking the biliary system. Also, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are used to relieve the symptoms. Immunotherapy is not a defined treatment for gallbladder cancer but it's still under the testing phase. But to decide the treatment Doctor will need additional testing. Also, will have to see what the prior treatment has been given. Hope our answer helps you. You can find more doctors on our page to discuss regarding her treatment - Oncologist In India.

My family member suffering from a Left Insular lesion Diffuse Astrocytoma (WHO grade), a Brain tumor. Brain surgery is done 3 months back. At AIIMS Jodhpur. Recent after MRI reports, Doctors advised for Radiotherapy May you please suggest/guide me for the best treatment or radiotherapy center in India. In addition, Immunotherapy/dendritic cell therepy is better compare to radiotherapy & chemo. Which are the best/top hospitals (Govt./Private) in India? What is the cost of Radio/Immunotherapy?

  • Some types of brain tumors grow at a greater speed while others grow slowly. Depending on all the factors, your brain tumor treatment will be recommended by the doctor. Since the surgery has already been already done, therefore the standard treatment could be radiotherapy with the tamazolamide tablet.
  • Dendritic cell-based immunotherapy is an approach where the patient's immune system is boosted to fight cancer. It is a very expensive treatment and approved for stage 4 only. You cannot compare the treatments as for different cancer types and stages, different treatments have been set according to the international standards. Who qualifies for immunotherapy is someone whose cancer is in stage 4, and that too as a last resort if other treatments didn't work.
  • The radiotherapy cost (SRS) ranges from about 4,00,000 to 5,00,000 and the immunotherapy cost is approximately 4,00,000.
  • Please find yourself the list of best hospitals on our page - Cancer Hospitals in India.

Hello, my father age 64 has a tumor under his tongue measuring 0.4CM. In the report, it is described as moderate. we are looking for a treatment with the minimum side effects as possible, please suggest us best treatment and a hospital.

Hi Prakash, Since the tumor size is 0.4cm, the best tumor treatment with minimum side effects, is surgery. Sometimes, radiation is followed in order to prevent a recurrence. Anyway, we suggest that you quickly consult the doctor as further treatment will be suggested by your doctor. You will not require immunotherapy as it is provided in the 4th stage of cancer only.

Please find the list of best hospitals for tumor, on our page - Cancer Hospitals in India.

My father has bladder cancer, urothilial carcinoma high-grade, muscle invasive (2nd stage). Kindly suggest proper treatment process and immunotherapy needs.

Hello Nihar, Generally, the first-line treatment that is used to treat urothelial carcinoma stage II cancer is surgery. Mostly, the standard treatment for urothelial carcinoma stage II is radical cystectomy. If your father has cancer in only one part of the bladder, then a partial cystectomy may be performed. But this is possible in a very small number of people. A TURBT (Transurethral resection) may be still done which helps a doctor to know the extent of cancer. This is done in order to remove any type of abnormal tissue or tumor. For the people, who are not healthy enough to get chemotherapy, a radical cystectomy may be the only treatment. But many doctors prefer to give chemotherapy before surgery as it gives better results. If the chemotherapy is given first, then the surgery will be delayed. For the patients who are not able to have surgery because of serious health issues, TURBT, chemotherapy, radiation or some combination of these treatments may be given. Since your father has stage II cancer, immunotherapy is not the treatment option as it is given only in IV stage. Hope this answer helps you. You can also seek help from an oncologist on this matter - Best Oncologist In India.

Hi, I am 41 years old female suffering from triple-negative Breast cancer and BRCA 2 positive. I underwent double mastectomy and BSO. Can I take immunotherapy after radiation?

Hello Mamta, Immunotherapy is being given to patients for cancer very commonly. But the decision to give you the same depends on your current condition. Your doctor only on assessing your case can advise you because all treatments have its own side effects. Kindly be free to consult an oncologist and decide as per their guidance, you may refer our page if you find it convenient or helpful - Breast Cancer Treatment doctors in India.

Hello, my mother had been operated 1.5 years before for duodenal cancer. Now she had recurrence on same place. Please suggest me the therapy for her. Her age is 69 years old.

Hello, The treatment options for duodenal cancer include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, Immunotherapy, active surveillance and watchful waiting and palliative care.

  1. Generally, recurrence after curative surgery is distant metastasis especially the liver.
  2. Treatments for recurrent disease suggested by few studies are systemic chemotherapy, concurrent chemo-radiation therapy, and cryotherapy for metastatic liver tumour.
  3. The best line of treatment can be planned only on evaluating and accessing the stage of cancer.
