View allIs 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
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.

My mom had a 2.68x1.49 cm breast cyst removed from her left side in 2014 the biopsy showed fibrocystic changes with a simple cyst and no malignancy. Now she's noticing a similar lump on her right side. Should she get surgery again or is there another way to handle this?
If a new breast lump appears,it should be evaluated.Surgery isn't always needed if it's benign imaging and biopsy-guided follow-up may help.

If a cancer has spread to the lungs, liver, and colon, is it still treatable? For someone with CHF, would chemo or other treatments be an option? What's the survival rate in cases like this? If it's advanced, can chemo or surgery actually help, or is it too risky given the CHF? I need a straightforward answer about what to expect in this situation.
When cancer has spread to the lungs, liver, and colon (a metastatic situation), it is still treatable, but the outlook is generally less favorable than if the cancer were localized. Chemotherapy and other treatments may still be options, even for someone with CHF, but the decision-making process must be individualized based on the specific cancer type, stage, and the patient's overall health, including the severity of their CHF. Survival rates vary depending on the cancer type, treatment response, and individual factors, with some patients living several years despite metastasis.
