I am 35 years old female and my stomach was bloated for 2 days then I consulted doctor who gave drips then told for a ct scan then they told its cancer other told its all spread and its stage 4 many told us not to get biopsy as it will make it more spread now the report came that cea is 0.5 and ldh is 276

Female | 35

Bloating can arise from various factors, including digestive issues or hormonal changes. The elevated LDH and the CEA levels are significant, but it's crucial to interpret these in the context of your overall health and symptoms. Consult your physician for a comprehensive evaluation and discuss the necessity of a biopsy based on your specific situation. It's essential to have a supportive team guiding your care. Remember, communication with your healthcare provider is key to navigating this journey effectively.

Hello sir i have 4 year old son and he has pinio blastoma tumor can we give him immunotherapy and what is the success rate of immunotherapy and what will be its cost

Male | 4

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.

Diagnosed with well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (left submandibular area) Site: Alveolus

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.

Hi, I have a doubt, is there any specific reason for which immunotherapy is not recommended in the early stages of any cancer?

Chemotherapy works by stopping or blocking cancer cells from growing and immunotherapy works by boosting up a patient's immune system to find and then attack cancer. Though immunotherapy is gaining popularity but still it is in growing stage.

Chemotherapies have been key to cancer treatment from a very long time with all established and compiled data regarding the effects and side effects thus making doctors more confident about it in comparison to immunotherapy which is still newer. But gradually it is proving itself in some cancers as preferred line of treatment. Consult an oncologist for clear understanding.

Hello Doctor, I am sharing details about my father, who is 64 years old. He has always lived a healthy lifestyle — he regularly practices yoga and meditation, does not eat outside food, and quit smoking 15 years ago. However, in the last 6–8 months, he has experienced a sudden weight loss of around 10 kg and has developed a lump in his neck. He had tuberculosis around 30 years ago and completed 6–8 months of treatment at that time. Because of that history, he initially thought that TB might have returned. He recently underwent a CT scan. Based on the report, the doctor also said that it does not look like cancer and that there is a 95% chance of it being TB. However, they advised that treatment cannot be started without FNAC or a biopsy.His FNAC report showed “Metastatic poorly differentiated carcinoma.” After that, we waited for the biopsy results. The biopsy diagnosis has also come as “Poorly differentiated carcinoma.” The report further mentions that Immunohistochemical (IHC) marker study is advised.I have shared all the reports of CT , FNAC, biopsy, Ihc marker , pet CT and the treatment details with you in the PDF. I wanted to ask whether the current treatment plan is correct with chemotherapy and immunotherapy and if we are on the best possible path for my father’s recovery. I want to make sure he is getting the best and most effective treatment available. And surgery is possible in this condition ? If there is anything more that should be added or any further tests or therapies you recommend, please let me know.

Male | 64

The sudden weight loss and the lump in his neck are indeed concerning. Given his history of tuberculosis, it's understandable to think it might be related. However, the biopsy results indicating poorly differentiated carcinoma do raise some flags. The current treatment plan with chemotherapy and immunotherapy is a common approach for poorly differentiated carcinoma. Surgery might be an option depending on the specifics. The Immunohistochemical marker study will provide more insights into the type of cancer and guide further treatment. It's important to trust the expertise of your oncologist and his medical team and ensure open communication with them.
