I've had benign tumors since childhood and doctors said surgery is an option if they cause discomfort. What treatments are available to completely remove them and how much would it cost?

For benign tumors, surgical removal (like lumpectomy for fibroadenomas) or cryotherapy (freezing) are common options. Radiation therapy or radiosurgery can also shrink or eliminate tumors. Cost varies depending on the procedure, location, and severity of the condition, with surgery potentially costing between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 2 lakhs

My father was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and had surgery to remove the infected colon and five lymph nodes.

Is combining these approaches safe and effective?

I'm a bit worried because I've had a pea-sized lump in my left armpit for about 6 weeks now. It's not painful or anything, but it hasn't gone away on its own. Could this be some kind of infection or something else? What should I do?
