Best Cancer Hospitals in Antalya

As per my understanding patient is suffering from cancer and you want to know about the best available treatment. The treatment for any cancer in general depends on the stage of cancer, location of cancer, patient's age, and associated comorbidities and other factors.

Treatment mainly includes surgery according to location of cancer, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of these. In advanced cancer palliative care is of more importance when routine treatment are not preferred.

Palliative chemotherapy is a treatment that is designed for terminal cancer patients to prolong their survival and ease symptoms of cancer, but does not cure disease. It can be administered in a variety of ways with the most common being:

• Orally: Pills taken by mouth.
• Intravenously (IV): Infused through a vein.
• Topically: Applied to the skin.

In many cases there are often no signs and symptoms, until the pancreatic cancer has reached an advanced stage. Even when there may be some early signs and symptoms, they are often vague, so patients tend to ignore them or doctors sometimes attribute them to some other disease.

Some of the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer that need to be taken seriously include:

• Jaundice (with or without itching)
• Dark urine or light-colored stool
• General symptoms such as back pain, Fatigue or weakness
• Pancreatitis
• New-onset diabetes in an adult
• Unexplained weight loss
• Loss of appetite
• Malnutrition
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Abdominal pain, others.

Hello Sachin, Treatment for oral cancer (mouth cancer) or any other cancer normally depends on the type, location, and stage of the cancer, age of patient and patient's general condition when diagnosed.

1. surgery in early stages,

3. Chemotherapy.
4. Treatment for advanced stages will usually involve a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

In your case, depending of stage of cancer or if it is recurring, the clinician will decide about the line of treatment. Very important is nutrition of patient as eating will be a concern during and after treatment for some time. Hygiene of mouth is also very important and not to be missed. In case of advanced oral cancer, the patient may need reconstructive surgery and some rehabilitation to assist with eating and speaking during recovery. Speech therapist, nutritionist will be needed.
