Breast cancer can have various causes, and not all cases are linked to genetic mutations. Factors like age, family history, hormones, reproductive history, etc. can also contribute to breast cancer risk. It's a complex disease and personalized treatment plans are required. Consult with an oncologist for accurate guidance.

Ayurvedic medicine has been used to treat various conditions but it may not be suitable for all health issues. If someone is diagnosed with throat cancer.. conventional cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy have been proven effective in many cases. So consult an oncologist for proper cancer treatment and evaluation.

Hello Parvinder, I am assuming that you are talking about the increase of bronchovascular markings treatment in the lungs. It indicates that the pH level in your lungs goes below 7.3 and it can cause the enlargement of the heart (Cardiomegaly). So I would advise you to meet your local Pulmonologist, this page can help you find relevant practitioners - Pulmonologists in Kolkata, and let us know if your location is different.

Protons are positively charged particles that are now replacing radiotherapy in cancer treatments. Apollo Hospital Chennai is the only cancer care center in India offering this new-age radiation therapy. The proton therapy treatment cost in India may begin from INR 14,00,000 ($18,000) to 19,00,000 ($25,000), as the base package. The average cost of entire proton therapy in cancer treatment would be between ₹ 25,00,000 to ₹30,00,000 (USD 33,000 to 39,000). Here is a detailed breakdown of India's proton therapy cost and chemotherapy cost in apollo hospital.

Which hospitals in India can provide free or affordable cancer treatment in India?

My brother in law is diagnosed liver cancer by the Doctors in Cuttack, Odisha. He is relatively poor with almost no resources to support the treatment. With my limited income of around Rs 8 lakhs per year, I need to support him. The Regional Research center named " Acharya Harihar Cancer Research center" at Cuttack seems having no modern technology to treat the same ( Please correct me, if I am wrong). Request you to guide me which hospital can be the best choice. I can spend maximum upto 3-4 laks from my savings. Thanks in advance for the help. he needs immediate treatment.

Hello Kashinath! I am not sure about Acharya Harihar Cancer Centre not having the latest technology because it is a regional cancer centre. On the other side, if what you say is true, it is better that you get your brother in law treated at Charitable or Government Hospitals if there is a cash crunch. 

 

Referring to an answer I have written below, the cost of a liver surgical resection would be approximately 3500 USD ( 250,000 INR ). Given the money you have saved up ( 300,000 - 400,000 INR or 4250 - 5650 USD), you can even opt for a private hospital if there is an urgency or preference to get treated in one. 

 

You should go to major metropolitan cities like Hyderabad or Chennai which would be the closest to you. Apart from this there are also some best cancer hospital in Odisha.

 

Private Cancer Hospitals:

  1. American Oncology Institute
  2. Apollo Health City
  3. Fortis Malar Hospital
  4. Apollo Hospital

Government/ Charitable Cancer Hospitals:

  1. Adyar Cancer Institute, Gandhi Nagar (Charitable)
  2. Royapettah Government Hospital, West Cott Road (Government)

Immunotherapy is being studied as a potential treatment for advanced stage pancreatic cancer. While it has shown success in other types of cancer its effectiveness in pancreatic cancer is still being researched. Clinical trials are underway to determine its safety and efficacy.

It would be best to directly contact the hospital's oncology department to determine if immunotherapy for advanced stage pancreatic cancer is available at Medanta hospital in Lucknow. You may also do your research by checking out the best Cancer Hospitals in Lucknow here. 

Hope this is helpful.
