He seems to be case of metastatic ca lung. The treatment intent here is only supportive. You may give him cough suppressants like codeine syrup 2 teaspoons, thrice a day to reduce cough. But thst is not likely to improve his fight against cancer. Also was pleurodesis done, last time water was drained, otherwise it may have recollected.

Sorry to know about your mother suffering. From what I guess unable to swallow is troubling her more .For that there are options of either to insert Endoscopy guided Ryles tube (food pipe) or Esophageal Stent. If the above not possible then there is another option of doing a small surgery to insert a tube directly into the Jejunum that known as Feeding Jejunostomy. Please discuss all the options with your Oncologist for better guidance.

I presume it was treated with concurrent chemoradiation.
The cisplatin drug which is used for the chemotherapy is usually responsible for the hearing loss, which is usually temporary, but may be permanent in a few patients. Better to see your medical oncologist and a good ENT surgeon for the same.
Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.

Hello,
Treatment options in recurrent cervical cancer is very limited.
The management mainly depends on the primary treatment received and the site and extent of recurrence.
In your case as the patient had already received chemoradiation, so in case of recurrence the only viable option remains is of carboplatin or cisplatin based chemotherapy. Despite treatment, the prognosis is guarded.

Small cell cancer is an aggressive cancer. The chance of cure is there only if the disease is localised to the lung. Usually prophylactic cranial radiotherapy with concurrent chemoradiation to lung is given if it is a localised disease, with surgery reserved for very early disease.
For advanced disease chemotherapy usually cisplatin + Etoposide is given, which usually delays disease progression. If excellent response, then we could radiation to chest and prophylactic to cranium

Hi lybrate-user, I would like to say that the symptoms of slowness of movement what you have mentioned in a patient who is on Rispeidone and aripiprazole is most probably EPS (extra pyramidal Side effects) unless proved otherwise. There may be underlying or Co morbid Parkinsons disease. But in this position its difficult to diagnose as the Pt is on antipsychotic. Gabapentin has no role in decreasing antipsychotic induced slowness in movements. But its often used as a treatment of Akathesia which...more
