Hi, I want to know about Palliative Chemotherapy. Recently, my aunt was suggested this treatment by her Oncologist when she was diagnosed with 3rd stage Pancreatic Cancer. I wanted to know if this is a specific stage-based treatment or is it given for all kinds of cancer?

Palliative chemotherapy is a treatment that is designed for terminal cancer patients to prolong their survival and ease symptoms of cancer, but does not cure disease. It can be administered in a variety of ways with the most common being:

  • Orally: Pills taken by mouth.
  • Intravenously (IV): Infused through a vein.
  • Topically: Applied to the skin.

Answered on 10th June '21

Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays or other particles to destroy tumor cells. This therapy helps in slowing or stopping the growth of a brain tumor. It is typically given after surgery and possibly in combination with some other therapy. Radiation oncologists will guide you best. The average cost of radiation therapy usually comes around Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 20,00,000 depending on which type of radiation technique used. However, the prices get affected by hospitals and their location as well. You can refer our list - Best Cancer Hospital in India, to find hospitals that will provide adequate facilities & services.

We sympathize with your relative and wish speedy recovery for them. Here are blood cancer treatment hospitals in mumbai, and blood cancer treatment hospitals in indore. There are broadly 3 types of blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, which are all divided into various sub-types and accordingly, the blood cancer treatment that you will receive, may vary. There are high chances of getting bone marrow transplant coupled with some other therapy. If you have further doubts then let us know.

As per my understanding patient is suffering from cancer and you want to know about the best available treatment. The treatment for any cancer in general depends on the stage of cancer, location of cancer, patient's age, and associated comorbidities and other factors.

 

Treatment mainly includes surgery according to location of cancer, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of these. In advanced cancer palliative care is of more importance when routine treatment are not preferred.

 

Consult oncologists, who on evaluation of the patient will guide you for the best treatment available. Hope our answer helps you.

Hello, what are the early symptoms of Pancreatic cancer that a person can detect?

Dr. Babita Goel

Dr. Babita Goel

General Physician

Answered on 26th May '21

In many cases there are often no signs and symptoms, until the pancreatic cancer has reached an advanced stage. Even when there may be some early signs and symptoms, they are often vague, so patients tend to ignore them or doctors sometimes attribute them to some other disease.

 

Some of the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer that need to be taken seriously include:

  • Jaundice (with or without itching)
  • Dark urine or light-colored stool
  • General symptoms such as back pain, Fatigue or weakness
  • Pancreatitis
  • New-onset diabetes in an adult
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Loss of appetite
  • Malnutrition
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal pain, others.

 

Consult oncologists. Hope our answer helps you.
