Question 1

does surgery of primary cancer of the rectosigmoid junction require a colostomy?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: The rectosigmoid junction is well above the anal sphincter.  Colostomy becomes more likely as the primary tumor gets closer to the anus.

Question 2

i have mildly congested mucosa in rectosigmoid junction.  does it sound like crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis? biopsy came out negative.

Accepted Answer

Non specific : This is a very nonspecific finding. With biopsy being negative, it would b difficult to say. If only recto sigmoid is involved then its definitely not uc. Ur GI doc will give u the best guess based on ur history, family hx, symptoms etc.

Question 3

extensive residual endo, endometrioma involves rectosigmoid junction back of uterus & cervix dense tissue infiltration deep pelvic endo wot this mean?

Accepted Answer

Severe disease: You are describing severe endometriosis that is difficult to treat and that they were unable to completely remove.  Some sort of medical treatment is probably your next step. It will be best if you can find a specialist with experience with these difficult cases since the usual gynecologist encounters these rarely.

Question 4

lentiginous junctional nevus, no atypia identified.lentiginous and nested at dermoepidermal junction. removed shave biopsy. cancer or could it regrow?

Accepted Answer

Margins: Ask the pathologist who read the biopsy if the margins were free of the lesion, If that cannot be ascertained, or if the margin was involved, you may wish to get lesion removed completely. Depending on the where the lesion is, it could be done by your dermatologist or a plastic surgeon.

Question 5

what exactly is thickening of ge junction? can it turn to cancer?

Accepted Answer

There is a risk.: GE junction is an area that connects distal esophagus to stomach. It is often exposed to the stomach acid and/or infections (H.Pylori) causing inflammation and anatomical changes in this region. One of the changes is called intestinal metaplasia which carries high risk of turning into cancer. Typically, it first leads to over growth of normal tissue, then dysplasia, followed by full blown cancer.

Question 6

my brother who is suffering from ge junction cancer is undergoing homeopathic treatment but his haemoglobin counts has decreased.please advise.

Accepted Answer

Discuss with his doc: Decreasing hemoglobin suggests he's losing blood. Any treatment may take time to work but if he's losing much blood he may need treatment for anemia. As wonderful as homeopathy can be, it may work even better combined with other treatments. You might discuss your concerns with your brother's dr. ; get his or her opinion. While homeopathy can get good results there are many ways to do homeopathy.

Question 7

what is mildly thickened ileocaecal junction and caecum? what r d causes and treatment for this? is this cancer if one has gen swollen nodes? pls help

Accepted Answer

Nothing or everythin: thick ileocecal valve could be normal anatomic variation.or could be a sign of problem in the distal ileum or the cecum or both like crohn disease for example it depend on your symptoms and why the test was done
it could be the appendix or any inflammatory process in the area and that could cause enlarge lymph node. of course cancer could not be ruled out i do recommend colonoscopy

Question 8

i have got upper gi endoscopy done which revealed nodularity at ge junction doc seemed concerned ...is there a higher probability for it to be cancer?

Accepted Answer

Pathology results: It really depends on what the biopsies show.  The biopsy can usually show whether there is cancer or precancerous lesions.  Pathology can take a week to be officially returned.  Talk to your doctor and ask them to be clear.

Question 9

sometimes middle of my chest pains while swallowing...i have done my endoscopy 5 months ago and it shows lax ge junction hills grade 2...i am very worried why does it hurts?? i am 18 years old...and very much afraid of esophageal cancer?

Accepted Answer

: You are not going to have esophageal cancer at your age and with a negative endoscopy. If you are so focused on cancer or other life ending condition seek out a life coach who can teach you relaxation and stress reduction skills. You appear to need it.

Question 10

how does cancer start?

Accepted Answer

From Cell Damage: Most cancers start due to acquired damage to normal body cells leading to mutations which lead to abnormal cell growth, increased cell lifespan, and a tendency to spread.
