Hello Doctor, my mother has ovarian cancer and has completed 4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with very good response (CA-125 reduced from 273 to 11). Her treating team is now planning interval cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC.
We would like to take an expert opinion specifically regarding whether HIPEC is truly necessary/beneficial in her case, considering the additional recovery burden and cost. Could you please help us in deciding if HIPEC would be necessary and effective ?
Thank you.
My mother right breast 3 cm lump and biopsy report invasive carnicoma can you tell me please what Is the treatment
Hi, I'm 24 years old female. I feel a hard lump on one of my underarm. It is hard like a bone. I feel uncomfortable if I bring my arm closer to my chest. I fear of this can be a symptom of breast cancer.
Seeking expert opinion for a 62F with signet ring cell carcinoma of sigmoid colon diagnosed July 2025. She underwent surgery (LAR + hysterectomy + BSO) followed by chemotherapy (Dacotin + Capecitabine). Latest PET-CT Feb 2026 shows no liver, lung, brain metastasis and no residual primary lesion. However, there are FDG-avid peritoneal nodules (SUV ~7) with mild ascites, suggestive of post-op changes vs residual disease. Kindly advise on further management, chemotherapy strategy, CRS alone or CRS with HIPEC suitability or second line chemo.
My mother in-law underwent a biopsy test and it revealed the presence of the disease. We were told the disease is in its early stages. Please refer the attached report and confirm.
