View allI found out I have oral cancer and I'm really confused about whether surgery or chemotherapy would be the better option for me. Can you help me understand which treatment might work best in my case?
Chemotherapy is often used after surgery to kill any cancer cells that remain. Chemotherapy may increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy, so the two treatments are often combined. If the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, chemotherapy can help control it.

I found an echogenic mass lesion in my breast that's 22020 mm in size on ultrasound and the doctor recommended surgery. Is surgery really necessary for this kind of mass? What could be causing it and are there other options?
A 22x20 mm echogenic breast lesion could suggest a fibroadenoma or benign tumor, but surgery is often advised to rule out malignancy. A biopsy or FNAC may help confirm before proceeding.
