Good day doctors, i have a friend who had an emergency operation because of bowel obstruction. the removed obstruction part test result shows neuroendocrine tumor who grade 1. does this mean that the tumor was removed? is my friend now safe?

Details are needed, such as the actual operation report that will include if the tumor was removed completely or not and complications are always possible, early post op or late. Restaging scans will be needed as well following surgery in order to confirm that the cancer did not spread or was removed only partially. An oncologist’s opinion will be needed for proper followup.

From the information your provided it is not feasible to know if the tumor was completely removed. However Grade 1 neuroendocrine tumors have a good prognosis.

I've seen two doctors, one said I need a microdiscectomy the other said I shouldn't have one & to have radio frequency ablation. Dr Steven Simon responded that it should go away in weeks, but it's been over year. Dr suggested RFA because he feels the disc has calcified and surgery should be avoid due to damaging the nerves, this true?
