Hello Doctors, Could you please help me to understand this. I am afraid need help. Is it okay or do I need to do anything?
My dad had bowel on and off for 6 months. A gastro specialist did colonoscopy and report said a mass in rectosigmoid region 10cm from anal bulge neoplastic? pet ct said luminal narrowing of the colon wall causing dilation of large bowel immedietly we got the surgery done immedietly and tumour removed tumour biopsy said all 12 lymph nodes are free t3N0 lvi plus pni plus emvi plus and high budding. Heart ef 40 to 45 percent. My question is that shall we go for ctdna or not and also as per mosiac trial they say that chemo specially oxilaplatin benefit in high risk stage 2 disease is very limited compared to stage 3 disease so shall we skip oxilaplatin and prefer only s1 or skip chemo totally if ctdna negative Please advise whether to do ct dna or go for chemo directly or omit chemo totally outwieghing the risk of toxicity
My dad was having stool on and off since last 6 months after doing colonoscopy we noticed a mass in rectosigmoid region 10cm from anal bulge pet ct said luminal narrwing in rectosigmoid region causing dilation of proximal larhe bowel he underwent colostomy surgery and is now recovering. doctors prescribed chemo qfter it was mss and eF of heart 45 percent with oxilaplatin and s1. my question is that isnt oxilaplatin too toxic for high risk stage 2 because in mosiac trail they say that oxilaplatin almost adds neglible benefits in overall life for high risk stage 2 patients compared to stage 3 patients...also he is very fine walking eating smiling and energetic well i m very confused that after chemo it might not be the same...pls help also is ctdna test or any other tests required to check further or chemo is important. we are giving him superb high antioxidant diet in his recovery days after surgery
