What's the best treatment for stage 2 throat cancer that's spread should I go with chemo and radiation together or consider laparoscopic surgery? I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of each option

Stage 2 throat cancer is usually treated with chemo and radiation. Surgery is reserved for specific cases. A tumor board consult helps decide best approach.

My wife is 29 and found some lumps, so her doctor recommended an ultrasound which showed multiple cysts with the largest being 17mm. The FNAC came back as benign fibroadenoma. We're unsure whether to go for surgery to remove it or just keep monitoring it what would you suggest is the best approach?

The results indicate multiple breast cysts and a fibroadenoma, both benign conditions. Fibroadenomas are common, non-cancerous breast lumps, and the FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) confirming a benign fibroadenoma suggests this lump is not cancerous. The cysts, especially a 17mm cyst, are also benign and don't typically require treatment.

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've had this lump inside my left chest for over two years now. It's pretty weird because I can feel it when I touch it, and it hurts then, but otherwise, there's no pain. The size hasn't changed, and there aren't any other symptoms. I'm not on any medication, but I'm really worried it might be a tumor. Any idea what this could be?

I noticed a hard lump on my right breast that doesn't hurt but seems to be getting bigger. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? What could be causing it?

While some breast lumps, like fibroadenomas or cysts, can be treated without surgery, others, including those related to breast cancer, may require more invasive procedures. Consulting a doctor or healthcare provider is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations
