Cancer Care and Treatment

Hello Doctors, My uncle (age 64), was diagnosed with GIST and has undergone total gastrectomy surgery on August 2020. Recently some black spots are showing up on his skin, started with feet and now on face near eyes. Please refer to images attached for reference. Can you please tell what these spots are what should be our next steps for treatment. He is currently under below medications: 1) Haem Up 2) Concur 2.5 3) Imatinib 400 4) Shelcal os 500 5) Ecosprin gold 20

Sir, I have finished my Chemo Radaition on 1st. Chemotherapy has to start by 26th. Now I am in resting phase. Day before yesterday I experienced itching in anus area for 1/2 Hr. What does it indicate. Has the tumour shrinked. My CEA has also come down from 26 (in the begining) to 13 on 1st.

I am diagnoised with Neuro Endocrine Tumour (Rectal Colon Cancer). I have been given Capacitabine tablets and Proton Radiation for 25 quarters. Now I am waiting to be given Chemo injections. Is Capacitabine and Proton Radiation not enough to kill cancer cells. Can I check my cancer position and then go for Chemo injections.

How can local recurrence and distance metastaise be prevented in Neuro Endocrine Tumour (Rectal Colon Cancer)

Hi I have a lump in my breast since 1year now. It started once I stopped breast feeding. It's painful to touch, not very but slight pain. What test do i need to do?

This must be the most wierdest question here as it is not actually about myself but I may be affected. So here it is Iam about go get married to a girl 23Yrs old who says she doesn't have any medical history my only concern is that her parents are cousins and she has a younger brother who is 9 yrs younger to her and was diagnosed with HLH few years back and subsequently got treated for it and now doing fine. I have read HLH in children is mostly familial and inherited from parents and there are 25% chances of sibling being carrier's😕. Now this makes me think and concerned that my so to be wife can also be a carrier thus putting our future child at risk. Iam not sure whether Im suppose to worry about it or not. I can surely use an experts opinion on this. Much appreciate.

I have got a small blood blister inside my cheeks in the mouth. It is not paining and not creating any problem. How will it cure? Anything serious?

Sir, Chemo Radiation of Capacitabine tablets and Proton Radiation is finished at Apollo Proton Care, Velachery Chennai for Neuro Endocrine Tumour (Colon Rectal Cancer) Now Chemo has to start. She has been asked to wait for 3 weeks for radition effect (soft skin) to go. My query is what will happen now - with no radiation or capacitabine tablets. Will cancer cells grow or continue to die or remain at a level. Her CEA has fallen from 26 to 13.

My father age 58 got one  CT KUB scan done without medical need. What is the risk of getting cancer from Ct Kub scan radiation?

What does it mean by the statement - Neuro Endocrine Tumour has bad prognosis. Will it reoccur/ spread to other endocrine organs/ will take longer to cure.
