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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

I've noticed some hard, movable lumps in my left breast that hurt when I press them. I've been stressed lately and sometimes my periods are late. There's also some discomfort in my armpit area. Could this be something serious like cancer, or can it be treated with medicines? Would I need surgery for this?
