I had surgery for well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in my right buccal mucosa and it went well what are the chances of the cancer coming back and what's my life expectancy now
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
With successful surgery for well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in the right buccal mucosa, the chance of recurrence varies, but the overall outlook is generally positive. Your life expectancy is expected to be significantly longer than average for someone with advanced stage cancer.

View allI'm really worried about my 70-year-old mom. She's been on levatin ib tablets for her thyroid cancer treatment and recently we've noticed this white mucous discharge. It's been going on for about two weeks now, but there's no foul odor. She just had a PET scan two days ago and it didn't show anything unusual. She's also bedridden and uses diapers. Could this discharge indicate an infection or something more serious? Wouldn't the PET scan have picked up on anything serious if there was something wrong?
The mucous white discharge in your 70-year-old mother, who is bedridden and undergoing thyroid cancer treatment with Levatin IB, could be indicative of a urinary tract infection (UTI), especially given her age, immobility, and use of diapers; although the PET scan didn't reveal any abnormalities, UTIs may not always show up on PET scans; it's essential to consult her doctor or oncologist about this new symptom, as they may prescribe antibiotics or order additional tests, such as a urine culture, to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I had a spindle tumor removed from my left thigh in 2016, then it came back in the same spot in 2020 and I had surgery again. Now the tumor has appeared in my spine what should I do next?
Spindle tumors recurring in spine may indicate malignancy or aggressive behavior; see an oncologist urgently for imaging, biopsy, and plan for chemo or radiotherapy.
