Answered on 29th Nov '24
Kidney cancer is a life-threatening disease, with 3.8 percent positivity meaning that there are malignant cells in your kidneys. Symptoms such as blood in the urine, back pain, and weight loss can be seen. Smoking, obesity, and high blood pressure may be the causes. The treatment options may be surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. It is important to communicate about the treatment with your oncologist.

Hi, my father was diagnosed with carcinoma right colon, features are suggestive of well-differentiated mucinous papillary adenocarcinoma of the colon with metastasis to the lymph node and treated with extended radical right hemicolectomy side to side ileocolic anastomosis done under GA one year back followed by chemotherapy. We need a second opinion as his blood report reveals a presence of 17.9 ng/mL of carcinoembryonic antigen. Can you please suggest me a good hospital in Bangalore with less cost? The previous doctor suggested a PET CT scan.
As per my understanding, your father is suffering from carcinoma of the right colon with metastasis to lymph node and treated surgically and chemotherapy. Once any cancer which has spread to the lymph nodes it means it is stage 3 where the prognosis is not so good. But still consult an oncologist. Hope our answer helps you.

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.

Female | 43
A high possibility that these are metastasis or emerged from cancer. I would advise you to see your treating clinician.
If there are still any doubts or your situation just doesn't seem to be improving, then you can reach out to others, but by now your doctor would have a better idea - Oncologists In India.
If you have any location-specific requirements for any specialist, then let the clinicspots team know, take care!

The treatment for bladder cancer is a combination of surgery and chemotherapy. Whether chemotherapy precedes or follows surgery is dependent on the stage of the cancer. It is necessary to pay a visit to a urologist or oncologist who is a professional in the treatment of bladder cancer so that he/she can assist you more appropriately.

My nephew has a form of cancer in the form of a lump above the rib cage, which has now affected his lung. Is there a cure for this type of cancer? The doctors said that he needs marrow so what you think please answer me quickly.
Male | 12
Without knowing more about the type and stage of cancer he has, it's difficult to say much about his particular case. Bone marrow transplantation is done to treat some types of cancer, particularly those that affect the blood and bone marrow, like leukemia and lymphoma. So if the doctors have said so, you must follow. If yoou're cncerned you may take a second opinion from oncologists in India.

Melanoma skin cancer in stage 4 . How I increase survival rate
Female | 44
Stage 4 melanoma skin cancer means the disease has moved to other body parts. You may notice weird moles, spots that change, and feel unwell. Too much sunlight exposure causes it. Treatments like surgery, chemo, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy help. But survival rates rise by listening to your oncologist and checking regularly.

Hello Sir, one of my friends found blood in his stool somewhat in 2020. As it was not regular and didn't cause any discomfort, he ignored this. Just 2 months back the blood stated shown frequently and he began to experience acute pain in his pelvis. And he consulted a doctor. Now he has been diagnosed with stage three rectal cancer. He stays near Dehradun. Doctor asked him to consult some other place. He is devastated now and confused about what to do now. I am asking on his behalf. We would be thankful if you could suggest a suitable name experienced in handling these stage cases. His family is ready to take him to another city as well.
Please perform colonoscopy and biopsy along with PETCT whole body and then consult a oncologist for proper line of treatment.

I wanna know if there’s any kind of way to cure all this diagnose.
Female | 41
The malignant tumor in the right breast is stage IV, with metastases in the brain, liver, and bones. This is considered a very severe situation. The upcoming seizure can be associated with a brain tumor, which would finally become the cause of the disorder. The patient also has some other concerns like hemoglobin c and increasing weight. Consequently, in advanced cases, oncologists guide patients to symptom control, relieve pain, and enhance life quality.

You said that it was once the throat was cancer and now the neck has come back and started to move in and out due to these problems. The local doctors may have given you the reason for this increase. Usually, the main symptoms are the ones that are increasing and the pain association is the one that is moving to the cancer staging compartment. Your suggested conclusion is right - the thrust is causing a high-speed movement at the neck region.
