I'm really confused about my Pet Scan and biopsy results. The Pet Scan mentioned something about a 'metabolic active soft tissue density lesion' with 'irregular margins,' suggesting it could be a primary neoplastic etiology. But my biopsy sounds different; it talks about 'tiny fibrocollagenous tissue' with 'mild chronic inflammatory infiltrate' and 'occasional submucosal glands,' but no signs of atypia or malignancy. Does this mean my report is normal, and I dont have cancer? Can what I have be treated with medication? I'm trying to understand what's going on, and if there's any reason to be worried.

View allI have pancreatic cancer and I'm really confused about the best treatment option for me. Some doctors recommend stenting, others suggest chemotherapy alone, and a few have mentioned Whipple surgery. I'm in Mumbai right now and would appreciate your advice on what would be the most suitable approach for my condition. I'm happy to pay the consultation fees once I hear back from you.
The best treatment for pancreatic cancer depends on several factors, including the stage of the cancer, its location, and your overall health. While surgery is the only potentially curative treatment for pancreatic cancer, it's only an option for a small percentage of patients. If surgery isn't possible, chemotherapy, radiation, and/or palliative care may be used to manage the cancer and improve quality of life

My breast size has increased from a 3 to a 5 in just one year, and it's still growing I checked in June 2022. I can actually see and feel the changes, and the pain is really bad. Why won't the growth stop? Are there any ways to reduce the size without surgery?
Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health—please consult your gynecologist.
