I've been diagnosed with fibroadenoma and complex cysts along with ductal ectasia in both breasts. What kind of medication would help manage this? Is surgery necessary, or are there other treatment options? Who should I consult for this a general physician or a specialist?

For your diagnosed conditions (fibroadenoma, complex cysts, and ductal ectasia in both breasts), medication is not typically the primary treatment. Instead, watchful waiting, monitoring, and in some cases, surgical or minimally invasive procedures may be recommended. You should consult with a specialist, specifically a breast surgeon or a specialized breast clinic for the best course of action

I'm really concerned about the situation with my lung nodules. Back in 2018, I had a left radical nephrectomy because of CCRCC, and they found a small lung nodule later that year. Then, in 2019, the CT thorax showed there were multiple nodules, with the largest being 3.5mm. By October 2019, another CT revealed that the largest nodule had grown to 7.5mm, and the distribution had changed as well. This is all being managed at TMC Mumbai, but I'm worried about whether the increase in size is something to worry about. Can you shed some light on this for me?

yes you should worry, consult a pulmonologist

What are the different cancer treatment options available and how effective is each one? I'm curious if there are alternatives to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery that might work better or have fewer side effects

Cancer treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, stem cell transplant, and more. Each treatment's effectiveness varies depending on the cancer type, stage, and individual patient factors. While chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery remain common, newer approaches like immunotherapy and targeted therapy are showing promise with potentially fewer side effects for some patients.
