Sorry to know about your son. Geftinib is prescribed if there is active cancer. But since you have reported that this has been continuing since 4.5 years is quite surprising. It is prescribed in patients of active cancer. Please discuss in detail with treating oncologist for further guidance.

The report" paucicellular smear means that the sample taken does not contain enough body tissues to make a definite diagnosis. The fnac needs to be repeated or better still, a lymph node excision biopsy can be done.

The thick mucosal folds in the stomach as noted in the endoscopy report could indicate inflammation or a reaction to chemotherapy. It's important for your father to continue his follow-up with me so that I can provide a detailed interpretation and guide further treatment.

Your father had already undergone a surgery for tongue cancer. But even after surgery lymph nodes have come positive in the recent pet scan. So the tumour has metastasis in the lymph nodes which are showing up now. There is no definitive thing as to which will work surgery or chemo. Chemo if used now will be just for palliation that is it may extend your father's life but it will not cure the disease. If you'll talk about surgery. It will cure the disease but who knows how many more nodes or org...more

My dad is dealing with prostate cancer and metastatic i.e. Spread to bones. He is heart and diabetic patient as well. He had undergone surgery to remove testicles almost year back. Psa test shown low reading - 0.140 after surgery but start increasing gradually since then. Now psa stands at 18 and just had 2nd pet scan. Doctor compared both pet scans (6 months gap) before and after surgery and did not alarm anything new. No bone pain as such currently. Based on doctor prescription he stated zoledronic acid injection on monthly basis. 2 injections so far. He currently takes bicalutamide (50 mg) along with other calcium and vitamin d supplement here are the 2 major issues I need help1. After zoledronic acid injection. He got light fever for a week and nausea. His psa score was very low after surgery but gradually increasing in recent months now 18. He is taking bicalutamide (50 mg) (1 tablet daily) since november 2022. What are treatment options to treat the rising psa. I can share the pet scan and other reports. I am looking for a senior doctor opinion and follow up appointment. No homeopathic doctors please.

Cancer staging needs to do first. Different treatments / approaches are available for different stages. Psa will stop increasing only if we are able to treat the cancer or stop the cancer growth. Zoledronic acid & bicalutamide have limited role. Pet scans. Other reports & most imp patient s clinical condition will decide further treatment.
