My uncle 67 years old had a surgery to remove colon cancer and one liver metastasis, the tumor tests are : mismatch repair proficient, her 2 +ve score 3+ , braf for v600e negative, what is next?

Male | 67

After the surgical removal of colon cancer and a liver metastasis, the next steps may involve targeted therapy, given the HER2-positive status, possibly with drugs like trastuzumab. Since the BRAF V600E mutation is negative, certain chemotherapy options may be effective. Your uncle's oncologist will tailor a treatment plan based on these findings, incorporating adjuvant chemotherapy and possibly targeted therapies. Regular follow-ups and open communication with the healthcare team will be essential for ongoing care and monitoring his response to treatment.

I am 49 years old. It has been a month now I have noticed that I have been experiencing pain and a burning sensation during urinating. I consulted with my gynec and she prescribed vaginal suppositories. Initially I got relief but then again it started. I feel the need to go to the washroom more frequently than usual. I am not diabetic. After all this, I didn't take it seriously. But for the last 2-3 days I had difficulties in holding it. Now I feel this is very serious because I am not old enough for this problem. I searched on the internet and found it could be a reason for bladder cancer. Is that so? Please refer to a good female doctor. I am perplexed about all these and it's making my life miserable.

Hi , don’t worry abt cancer and all.I feel it’s a urinary tract infection, get a urine routine microscopy test followed by urine culture and sensitivity.If urine routine report shows pus cells and bacteria then our diagnosis is confirmed. Visit a gynecologist with your reports.

Female | 46

In my opinion, there are other options apart from surgery, they should be tried and surgical options can wait till a later stage.

She needs a stage-wise diagnosis and treatment which may include CT scan or PET CT.

But with virtual platform, it's highly possible that some important detail pertaining to your mother's course of treatment could have been overlooked.

If the surgery has been performed by now and she doesn't present with severe symptoms that are difficult to handle, then things may have worked, but if her condition is critical, then we will advise you to reach out to other specialists - Oncologists In India.

If you have any other doubt, then reach out to me, clinicspots team or other specialists, also let clinicspots know if you have any location-specific requirements for finding desired specialists, take care!
