Let us know if you need further guidance. Wishing the child a speedy recovery! 

Dear Sachin Yadav Ji,

We're sorry to hear about your diagnosis. An aggressive metastatic hepatic tumor, such as mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), requires a comprehensive treatment approach tailored to your specific condition.

Treatment Options:

1. Surgical Intervention:

   • Resection: If the tumour is localized and you have sufficient liver function, surgical removal of the tumour may be considered. However, in cases of metastasis, surgery might not be feasible.
   • Liver Transplant: For certain patients with early-stage HCC, liver transplantation could be an option.
     
     

2. Systemic Therapies:

   • Chemotherapy: Systemic chemotherapy is commonly used for unresectable or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma.
   • Targeted Therapy: Drugs targeting specific genetic mutations or pathways in cancer cells are available for HCC and cholangiocarcinoma.
   • Immunotherapy: Agents that enhance the immune system's ability to fight cancer, such as checkpoint inhibitors, have shown promise in treating advanced liver cancers.
     
     

3. Locoregional Therapies:

   • Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE): This procedure delivers chemotherapy directly to the liver tumour while blocking its blood supply.
   • Radioembolization (Selective Internal Radiation Therapy—SIRT) involves injecting tiny radioactive beads into the liver's blood vessels to target the tumour.
     
     

4. Palliative Care:

   • Focuses on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life, especially when curative treatments are not an option.

Next Steps and How HexaHealth can help:

• Discussing these options with a multidisciplinary team, including hepatologists, oncologists, and surgeons, is crucial to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your situation.
• For more information, please feel free to connect with our care specialists at HexaHealth. We will provide you with opinions from multiple specialists, taking a multidisciplinary approach to financing and care assistance.

मनमोहन जी,

आपके प्रश्न के लिए धन्यवाद। सिस्टोस्कोपी और मूत्राशय के संकुचन (स्ट्रिक्चर) के उपचार के लिए डे-केयर प्रक्रियाएं होती हैं, जो आमतौर पर 24 घंटे से कम समय में पूरी हो जाती हैं। अधिकांश स्वास्थ्य बीमा योजनाएं ऐसी चिकित्सकीय आवश्यक प्रक्रियाओं को कवर करती हैं। हालांकि, कवरेज की शर्तें और प्रावधान बीमा प्रदाता और आपकी पॉलिसी के अनुसार भिन्न हो सकते हैं।

Hello Narayan Ji,

We're sorry to hear about your niece’s diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML-M5). Given her young age, timely and proper treatment is crucial. Based on the details you’ve shared, we suggest:

1. Ayushman Bharat Scheme: Under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), families with limited income can access free cancer treatment at empanelled hospitals. You can search for hospitals near your area under this scheme through the official website: Ayushman Bharat Empanelled Hospitals.

2. Regional Cancer Centres (RCCs): India has several government-designated RCCs where advanced cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants, are provided either free or at a minimal cost. Examples include AIIMS (Delhi and regional centers), Tata Memorial Hospital (Mumbai), and CMC Vellore.

3. State-Specific Schemes: Certain states offer additional financial assistance for pediatric cancer treatment. Check with local health authorities about programs available in your region.

4. NGOs and Charitable Trusts: Organizations like the Indian Cancer Society, CanKids, or St. Jude India ChildCare Centres provide financial and logistical support for children with cancer.

5. Next Steps: We recommend visiting the nearest Ayushman Bharat empanelled hospital or a Regional Cancer Centre for consultation and starting treatment at the earliest. Ensure you carry all medical records and income documents for eligibility verification.

If you wish to explore private hospital options for advanced care or second opinions, HexaHealth can assist in identifying the best pediatric oncology specialists and hospitals, arranging consultations, and offering guidance on financing options to make treatment more accessible. We’re here to support you throughout this process.

Hello,

The Liquicore 52 gene panel is a genetic test that analyzes multiple genes associated with cancer. It is often recommended to assess potential genetic mutations that could impact cancer recurrence or guide further treatment decisions.

1. Purpose of Liquicore 52 Gene Panel: This test may help to:
   • Identify genetic mutations related to breast cancer.
   • Assess the risk of recurrence or spread.
   • Personalize future treatment plans, including targeted therapies or preventive strategies.
     
     
2. Necessity:
   • If your aunt’s oncologist suggests this test, it could help to better understand her specific cancer type and tailor future treatment options. It is typically used to guide decisions, especially in cases where there is a risk of recurrence or if the cancer is of a type that may respond well to targeted therapies.

Hello Ahreya Ji,

To better assist you, could you please clarify whether you're asking about the recovery process after brain tumour surgery or if you're referring to the recurrence of the brain tumour post-surgery?

If you're asking about recovery after surgery, it generally involves a hospital stay of 5-6 days, medications to manage pain and swelling, and possible rehabilitation (such as physical, speech, or occupational therapy). The full recovery can take weeks to months, depending on the complexity of the surgery and the brain areas involved.

If you're concerned about the recurrence of a brain tumor after surgery, it’s important to have regular follow-up appointments with your neurosurgeon. They will monitor for any signs of recurrence through imaging tests, and in some cases, additional treatments like radiation or chemotherapy may be needed. Generally, with the advancement in medical science and early detection & intervention, the recurrence rate of tumours have reduced.

Feel free to provide more details, and we can guide you further. At HexaHealth, we are here to help with specialized care and support throughout your journey.

Blisters in the throat can result from:

1. Viral infections: Common causes include herpangina, hand, foot, and mouth disease, or herpes simplex virus.
2. Bacterial infections: Strep throat may also cause throat blisters.
3. Thrush: A fungal infection causing white patches and blisters. Acid reflux: GERD can irritate the throat and cause sores.
4. Throat cancer: persistent sores, ulcers, or lumps in the throat that do not heal and are accompanied by symptoms like difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, or hoarseness could be signs of throat cancer.

If symptoms include pain, fever, or difficulty swallowing, see a doctor for diagnosis. They may suggest a throat swab, blood test, or endoscopy. Treatment typically involves antiviral, antifungal, or antibacterial medication, depending on the cause. Lifestyle changes and antacids may help with acid reflux. If symptoms persist, especially with difficulty swallowing or other concerning signs, further evaluation, such as a biopsy, may be needed to rule out cancer.

Please feel free to reach out to us for further assistance.
