Are there any alternative surgical procedures which don't involve total removal of the breast for Stage 2B breast cancer treatment and where in India can I get it done?
Hello Annet, For breast cancer treatment at stage 2 B, Surgery is going to be the base followed by:
- Chemotherapy,
- Radiation Therapy,
- and Hormone Therapy.
Thus, surgery is an important and compulsory part of treatment. Since in this stage the tumor has spread to lymph nodes, so they have to be removed along with the lump to get the best possible results. Thus, Mastectomy (Breast Cancer Surgery) is needed.
But don't worry after surgery you can get breast-conserving surgery done through which breasts can be reconstructed. Hope this answers your query.

Which doctors are reputed for treating stage 3 gall bladder cancer and what are the treatment methods?
After the detection of Gall Bladder Cancer by a CT Scan, other tests will also be conducted to know the stage and the extent of metastasis of the cancer. After the deterministic tests are conducted, then the treatment plan for your cancer will be decided by your oncologist. The treatment will depend on whether the gall bladder tumour is resectable or not:
- Treatment for Resectable Gall Bladder Cancers: In this scenario, the cancer has not spread too far and can be
- removed completely by Surgery (Cholecystectomy) which is mostly the case in Stage I, II and III cancers.
- The surgery will be followed up by Chemotherapy to destroy the remaining cancer cells.
- Treatment for Unresectable Gall Bladder Cancer: Here the cancer is too widespread and Surgical removal is not an option.
- In order to contain the cancer, surgeries to facilitate the flow of bile may be done
- And after that Chemotherapy will begin.
