What are the non-surgical options for treating tumors? Are there effective medications that can shrink or manage tumors without needing an operation? I'm really worried and would appreciate some guidance on this

View allI had a breast MRI and biopsy that showed stage 2 cancer, but the PET scan came back clear does this mean the cancer hasn't spread? I'm considering a full mastectomy but worried about the risks and long-term impact. What would be the safest treatment option to completely cure this with minimal life risk?
Stage 2 breast cancer with clear PET suggests no distant spread; full mastectomy with lymph node check plus chemo/radiation based on reports offers best chance of cure.

my aunt was just diagnosed with rectal cancer and her MRI and biopsy reports show it's an early lesion her CT scans for chest and abdomen came back normal she's wondering if she really needs to go through all three treatments - chemo, radiation, and surgery or if she can skip some since it's early stage also what type of surgery would be most suitable and how long she might need a colostomy bag after
For early-stage rectal cancer, the usual approach is surgery, with chemo and radiation considered depending on tumor size and location. The type of surgery (like low anterior resection) will determine the need for a colostomy bag, which is often temporary.

I'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.
