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.
Plz anyone guide me about that. What to do... Whether to go for chemo or else. And what is the outcome after chemo
Hi, as part of my pre-IVF evaluation I underwent a hysteroscopy procedure in 2024. The biopsy results came back negative for CD138 but showed signs of endometrial hyperplasia. After this I was induced for egg retrieval twice back to back and then I took a break for a year. All this while I was never given any treatment for hyperplasia. Now this year that is 2026, I started my IVF journey again and my uterus had polyps. Since I am not a doctor, I do not understand why I was not given any treatment for hyperplasia. I only understood this when I did some study on my old report findings. I am now scared that what if it turned into cancer. My whole life would go for a toss for an ignorant doctor. What are you experience in such cases. What is the most worst that can happen to me. I will be doing a biopsy again but I want to know the reality what to expect.
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.
