The term triple-negative breast cancer means that the cancer cells do not have estrogen or progesterone receptors and does not make too much of the protein called HER2. ( therefore the cells test "negative" on all 3 tests.)

Triple-negative breast cancer has less treatment options available than other types of invasive breast cancer. The reason being the cancer cells do not have enough estrogen or progesterone receptors or HER2 protein for hormone therapy or targeted drugs to work.

Treatment options are chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery mainly. But consulting clinician on time and starting the treatment is important. Regular follow up with doctor with lifestyle modifications and counselling will help. Consult an oncologist.

Hope our answer helps you.

Male | 72

CAR-T cell therapy is a type of immune therapy, which can be beneficial in treating some cancers, but not always. A doctor will be able to find out whether such therapy suits his condition and to advise him on the best therapy in his case. It is vital to consult an oncologist to receive the best in terms of treatment.

One of my friend is suffering from CLL, he is 23, and sometimes he go through bleeding and fever, are there chances of him being fine again?

Male | 23

There is no guaranteed cure for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Long term outlook may vary with individual specific cases. Chemotherapy may help to manage the disease, but the goal is usually to help manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease.

I m 21 years old female my left nipples always cracks and peels out and little blood flesh which has come out of nipples is seen I m very tensed I have consulated two doctors they oitment is still thing from three years

Female | 21

If the cracking of nipple is not responding to ointment what needs to be ruled out is a Paget's disease of the nipple. This requires a clinical examination by a breast surgeon and he or she can guide you further on the same.

How can one know she has breast cancer

Female | 20

It is possible to diagnose breast cancer by self-examination in that you have a look and feel for any lumps or other abnormal changes in the tissue. However, please note that breast cancer can also be symptomless, so a person needs to have examinations by an endocrinologist or gynecologist once in a while.

I want to know about the early signs of throat cancer. What are the treatment options for it? If throat cancer is detected in its early stages, can it be cured without visiting any hospital?

Early signs of throat cancer can be persistent cough, throat irritation, wheezing, difficulty in swallowing, unexplained fatigue, weight loss and many more, but to treat any kind of disease you need to visit a doctor, don't come to a conclusion and don't try to treat it yourself.

Consult a doctor and get evaluated and have one to one consultation with an oncologist to get a better idea of your concerns. Consult Cancer Treatment doctors in Mumbai or any other city nearest to you. Hope our answer helps you.
