Question 2

hi i had an mr mrcp scan to primarily investigate a prominent cbd. it also looked at the pancreas and reported, "is of normal volume with normal t1 signal return". would this suggest there were no tumors or other signs of pancreatic cancer?

Question 3

no sign cancer in breast,spread to 2 lymph nodes prominent lymph nodes about 3 inches below armpit,no primary tumour  . what is survival rate ?

Accepted Answer

Same as breast mass: Survival rate of breast cancer metastatic to axillary lymph nodes, but without evident primary tumor is the same as that when a primary tumor is evident. It depends on hormone receptor status, HER2status, age and overall health of patient.  Also—since some women are cured of this disease and others aren't—it depends on factors of which medical science is now ignorant.

Quite varied: Often patients will have stomach related symptoms, like poor appetite, pain in belly , indigestion or bleeding . Weight loss is common. Why are you concerned about this matter?

Question 7

what is oral fungal treatment? is it a sign of carcinoma?

Accepted Answer

Oral fungus: Fungus can live in warm dark places.   Your mouth is one of them, and this is often normal.  Sometimes, for various reasons, you can get a fungal infection.  On occasion, fungus can grow in association with an oral carcinoma, but a fungal infection, in and of itself, is not a sign of carcinoma.  However, you should have this discussion with your doctor as to why it may have arisen.

Question 8

hi! i'm vem from ph. my mom was diagnosed with double primary ca. adenocarcinoma of the lungs, squamous cells carcinoma of skin. wil u help me?

Accepted Answer

What do you need?: The adenocarcinoma of the lung is extremely serious. The squamous carcinoma of the skin will almost certainly be cured by simple excision. Educate yourself about adenocarcinoma of the lung generally, and the markers and stage of her tumor and what is likely to be done for it. I'm glad you are there for her at this time.

Question 9

how can i tell if a mole is basal cell carcinoma? how can i tell if a mole that develops on my skin could be showing signs of basal cell carcinoma?

Accepted Answer

The : The only way to determine the exact nature of a lesion is to have some tissue removed for microscopic diagnosis by a pathologist.  Basal cell carcinomas can take on many forms.  See your dermatologist for evaluation.

Question 10

what are the odds of having adenocarcinoma of the left lung and adenosquamous  carcinoma of the right.  each is considered a primary cancer?

Accepted Answer

Reasonable odds: Both are quite common and if you have been offered double surgery for the chances of curing two primaries, by a physician you trust, then by all means go for it. It would be very uncommon for either cancer to metastasize as a lone nodule to the other lung, and the question is really, should we try to cure two separate primaries surgically.
