Sir my mother has 3rd stage bladder cancer. What is a treatment in this case?

Cancer

Answered by Pankaj Kamble

Hello Kunal,

Stage 3 bladder cancer is of two types:
Stage 3A: the cancer cells have reached outside the bladder to uterus or vagina but has not spread to nearby lymph nodes and tissues or organs.
Stage 3B: the cancer cells have reached outside the bladder to uterus or vagina and also, has spread to nearby lymph nodes and tissues or organs. Though stage 3 bladder cancer is advanced, it can be successfully treated with surgery in combination with other therapies.

Bladder cancer treatment options are as followed:
Radical Cystectomy: It involves the removal of the bladder and nearby lymph nodes. Also, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, urethra, and vagina are often removed.
Chemotherapy: It is given before surgery, for the purpose of shrinking tumors and post surgery to destroy any cancer cells that are remaining.
Radiation Therapy: This treatment is used to kill cancer cells within the bladder and the places where it metastasized.
Immunotherapy: This treatment is used to boost the immune system, so as to fight cancer by placing the drug directly into the bladder, through a catheter.
Targeted therapy: In this treatment, a drug is given orally that targets cancer's specific genes, proteins or the tissue that contribute to cancer growth and survival.

As per my understanding the patient is suffering from pancreatic cancer and now it has metastasized to liver and you want to know about the treatment. It seems the patient id suffering from stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Any cancer stage 4 does not have a good prognosis.

Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma confirmed by doctor. Pembrolizumab monotherapy suggested. What is cost of this therapy per session and how many therapy required. Prognosis ?

Male | 45

Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma - that's the type of cancer you have. It means cancer has spread. Doctors suggest Pembrolizumab treatment. This therapy costs thousands per session. You may need several sessions. The outlook varies from person to person. For some, Pembrolizumab shrinks or stops cancer growth. Others don't respond well. Discuss potential benefits and risks with your oncologist.

Hello sir, my wife told me yesterday that there is a lump around her breast. What further steps should I take to determine if it is cancerous or not? As of now, the lump around her breast is painless. Do I need to visit an oncologist?

Female | 41

As per my understanding your wife is having a painless lump in her breast which is the cause of concern. You consult a surgeon first and get your wife thoroughly examined and evaluated .Only after that will it be clear what her diagnosis is and the required treatment will be advised. Consult Breast Surgery doctors in Mumbai, or in any other city.

CA-125 marker result came for my mother's report. The result is 1200 u/ml and the reference is 35u/ml. She was diagnosed with a ovarian tumor three days ago and is going to be operated on 19-7-21. the tumor is early stage but the CA-125 result really bothers me. could u please clear my doubts?

Female | 46

In my opinion, there are other options apart from surgery, they should be tried and surgical options can wait till a later stage.

She needs a stage-wise diagnosis and treatment which may include CT scan or PET CT.

But with virtual platform, it's highly possible that some important detail pertaining to your mother's course of treatment could have been overlooked.

If the surgery has been performed by now and she doesn't present with severe symptoms that are difficult to handle, then things may have worked, but if her condition is critical, then we will advise you to reach out to other specialists - Oncologists In India.

If you have any other doubt, then reach out to me, clinicspots team or other specialists, also let clinicspots know if you have any location-specific requirements for finding desired specialists, take care!

Hello, I'm a 22 year old recently visited a breast clinic in Bhopal. It's almost a month now I am having breast pain, swelling, and my left nipple was inverted more than usual. After the ultrasound I was just given a leaflet about fibroadenoma and she didn't explain. My left nipple has become much more inverted and sunken in and it takes a long time to emerge. Is this something that happens with cancer? I've been worried for months now that this could be cancer even though my doctor didn't seem concerned that it was. Because I am quite young and have no such family history of cancer maybe she overlooked the situation.

Swelling or lump in breast, inverted nipple, pain in breast and lumps in axilla should always be checked thoroughly. These are very common signs which can be seen in Fibroadenoma and also early stage breast cancers. Regular Mammography and biopsy is very important to assess the exact nature of disease. So we would suggest you to undergo a biopsy and visit oncologist to know the exact nature of swelling and it's treatment plan.
