Throat Cancer Treatment

Throat cancer usually refers to cancer of the voice box, the vocal cords, and other parts of the throat, such as the tonsils and the oropharynx. The very contemporary treatment method of Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) finds its roots in 1972 and was first introduced by Weinstein with a case report of a supraglottic laryngectomy in a canine model and by MacLeod and Melder who reported the excision of a vallecular cyst in a human patient. The open surgery treatment for throat cancer requires the surgeon to make a long incision through the jaw and throat often causing disfigurement, difficulty in eating, speaking and swallowing.

Any cure for this cancer?

Hello Doctor. My father has tongue squamous cell carcinoma. He received 3 cycles of chemotherapy (Nov-Jan), and the tumor shrank significantly. He then completed 36 radiation sessions, after which it reduced even further. However, after 3 months of oral chemotherapy tablets, the cancer has progressed. Our local oncologist says there is almost no chance of survival, but I don't want to lose my father without exploring every possible option. Is there any treatment—different chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, surgery, re-irradiation, embolization, or a clinical trial—that could shrink the tumor, improve his airway and swallowing, or even offer a chance of long-term control or cure? Since he responded well to the initial chemotherapy, could another regimen help again? We are willing to travel anywhere in India for the best possible treatment. Thank you.

Diet plan for stage 4 stomach cancer

My family member has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer. She has already undergone stomach surgery, during which the cancer was detected. We are currently looking for guidance on her nutrition and overall diet. Could anyone recommend: A good oncology dietitian (preferably someone who provides online consultations)? What kind of diet is generally recommended for a Stage 4 stomach cancer patient after stomach surgery? Are there any foods that should be avoided or any nutritional supplements that are commonly advised? If there are any experienced oncologists or cancer nutrition specialists who provide consultations, I would also appreciate their recommendations. Thank you.
