Is surgery really the last option for thymoma or are there other treatments I should consider first What are the risks if I delay surgery for thymoma and try other treatments How do I know if my thymoma is advanced enough to need surgery right away Can radiation or chemo work for thymoma instead of going straight to surgery What symptoms would make surgery unavoidable for thymoma
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Thymomas are typically treated with surgery if they are large or invasive. Radiation and chemotherapy can sometimes be used in conjunction, especially for advanced stages. Delaying surgery can increase risks, so prompt consultation with a thoracic surgeon is essential.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with these lymph nodes in her supraclavicular area for two years now. They looked small at first, but an ultrasound showed two of them measuring 107 mm and 176 mm. She's also been diabetic for over two years, but her sugar is well-controlled with medication. There's no fever, sweating, or tirednessshe actually feels fine otherwise. What could this mean? What are the chances its something serious? I'm really looking for some guidance on what might be going on.

My mother is 42 and has a uterine tumor that doctors say is cancerous. They want to wait 6 weeks to dry the wound before considering surgery. Is this the right approach or should surgery be done sooner?

I'm a 30-year-old woman with a neck lump that's been there for a while. The ENT at RML Hospital did tests thyroid profile and anti-TPO were normal, but the ultrasound showed a 26x38 mm echogenic nodule in the right lobe. The FNAC came back as Atypical/Suspicious Follicular Neoplasm, Bethesda Grade IV. The doctor recommended surgery, but I really want to avoid it if possible since I'm the only earner in my family and cost is a big concern. What are my options? Should I get a second opinion at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Hospital?
Surgery is inevitable next step in the evaluation. You may be suffering from thyroid cancer. But considering your age and description, it may be in initial stage in present and may be curable
