My mom had breast conservation surgery and just got her biopsy report but still waiting for ER PR results. The staging says T1N1aMx and mentions metastasis couldn't be determined - does this mean they don't have enough data or are unsure? Also, I read stage IIA cancers are nonmetastatic, so why does it say Mx then? What does this report mean and what should we do next?

My dad was just diagnosed with esophageal cancer at Stage IIB and we're really confused about the best treatment options. Should we go for surgery right away or consider chemo and radiotherapy first? The reports show it's progressed a bit and we're not sure what approach would work best for his case. Could you help us understand what treatments might be most effective? We're especially worried about whether surgery alone would be enough or if combining treatments would give better results. The diagnosis has us pretty overwhelmed and we'd really appreciate some clarity on the possible next steps.

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
