Health Query
Hi Lybrate user
1. Pleomorphic adenoma is benign salivary tumour.
2. Its chances of conversion to malignancy depends on age (more in 8 th/ 9 th decades of life). Common in females. 3. As such the conversion is low 0.17/ 1 million cases. Higher age higher incidence.

It is just about faith and determination.If you have faith in homoeopathic medicines and determination to treat yourself without surgery, myself being a homoeopathic doctor advise you to start taking homoeopathic medicines for your problem as these homoeo medicine will not not only treat you but it will cure you permanently.
Health Query
Thanks for providing good patient profile. From your reports, the only site of distant metastasis is paraaortic lymph nodes.
Yes you are right that stage iv lung cancer has a poor prognosis. However a certain subpopulation of these patients still have a chance of favorable outcome. However this depends on number of things
1. Histology (adenocarcinoma favorable)
2. General condition of patient (performance status)
3. Presence of egfr mutations (favorable prognosis)
4. Absence of solid organ involvement (good prognosis).
So egfr mutation study is next step.
You have also asked any alternative option to chemotherapy. Yes there is a option. That is erlotinib (tarceva). But the tumor has to be egfr positive. Erlotinib is now recommended for egfr positive metastasic adenocarcinoma of lung (without any concomitant chemotherapy) until progression of the disease.
Health Query
the best solution is to take homoeopathic treatment ... it will not only improve general health and HB but will help to sustain the chemo therapy.

Hi, Lybrate user!
Hope you are recovering quickly from your recent surgery and doing well from ongoing chemotherapy treatment. Here's wishing you the best in life and Many more years of health and happiness.
Breast cancer is the leading cancer in women worldwide. Treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy & hormonal therapy. It is decided by stage of breast cancer. After surgery additional treatment are required to prevent recurrence.
In your case, My advise is, you must complete your remaining chemotherapy cycles without any gap in between. It's necessary for you to prevent recurrence. Also consult your for radiotherapy and hormonal therapy (if needed). keep regular follow up with routine investigation as advised by your doctor.

But better to show it to a Breast Surgeon or a Surgical oncologist. They would take a detailed history and examine you and if need be, ask for an ultrasound examination. Lumps in the breast could be due to various other causes like cysts, fibroadenoma, fibrocystic disease, traumatic fat necrosis, granulomatous mastitis, phylloides tumor and cancer. Fibroadenoma is the most common cause at your age. The diagnosis is established with triple assessment, which includes clinical examination, radiology and if need be pathology with FNAC or core Biopsy. If fibroadenoma, then surgery is recommended if it is enlarging in size, or symptomatic. If asymptotic, small 2-3 cms and not enlarging, then I tend to leave it alone as it usually regresses with time. (almost 90% regress by 40 years of age). Ormeloxifen has also been shown to cause regression of the fibroadenomas. I hope I was able to solve your query. If you want to share your reports and discuss this further, feel free to contact me directly.

Initial disease is small less than two centimeter disease or even precancerous stages and final stage is advanced disease metastatic to other organs called stage IV. You must go for health screening for cancer to be able to diagnose early cancers.
Asked for male, 51 years old from Daman and Diu
The prostate goes through two main growth periods as a man ages. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size. The second phase of growth begins around age 25 and continues during most of a man’s life. Benign prostatic hyperplasia often occurs with the second growth phase.
As the prostate enlarges, the gland presses against and pinches the urethra. The bladder wall becomes thicker. Eventually, the bladder may weaken and lose the ability to empty completely, leaving some urine in the bladder. The narrowing of the urethra and urinary retention—the inability to empty the bladder completely—cause many of the problems associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia. If you do not have symptoms. Nothing needs ot be done. If you are worried get a PSA test done. If you want relief form symptoms consult online in private for medication.

Cervical cancer (a malignant tumor of the cervix, the lowermost part of the uterus) is one of the most preventable types of cancer. Because of the Pap smear test, the number of cervical cancer cases has actually dropped over the past 20 years. However, many women still develop cervical cancer.
While some cases of cervical cancer cannot be prevented, there are many things a woman can do to reduce her risk of developing cervical cancer.
Reduce Your Risk of Cervical Cancer:
- Get a regular Pap smear. A Pap smear can be the greatest defense against cervical cancer. It can detect cervical changes early on, before they have a chance to turn into cancer.
- Limit the number of sexual partners you have. Studies have shown that women who have many sexual partners increase their risk for cervical cancer. You also increase your risk of developing HPV, which has been shown to lead to cervical cancer.
- Quit smoking or avoid secondhand smoke. Smoking cigarettes increases your risk of developing many cancers, including cervical cancer.
- If you are sexually active, use a condom. Having unprotected sex puts you at risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which can increase your risk factor for developing cervical cancer.
- Follow up on abnormal Pap smears. If you have had an abnormal Pap smear, it is important to follow up with regular Pap smears or colposcopies, and whatever else your doctor has recommended for you. If you have been treated for cervical dysplasia, you still need to follow up with Pap smears or colposcopies.
- Get the HPV vaccine. If you are under 27, you may be eligible to receive the HPV vaccine, which prevents high risk strains of HPV in women. The vaccine is most effective when given to young women before they become sexually active.
Again, cervical cancer prevention should be a top priority for all women. Small lifestyle adjustments, combined with regular medical care, can go a long way in preventing cervical cancer. In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!
