May I know where can be bone marrow transplantation be done for 8 year old kid for free of cost or minimal cost in India or Karnataka

Namaste Vijay ji,

Thank you for sharing your concern.

When you mention “Big Tromma” in your mouth for the last 10 years, it’s possible that you’re referring to a tumour or a chronic growth. Any long-standing lump, swelling, or lesion in the mouth—especially for such a long duration—must be evaluated by a specialist without delay.

🔍 Here’s what we recommend:

• Consult an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon or ENT specialist at the earliest. They can examine the area thoroughly.
• A biopsy or scan (like an MRI or CT) might be advised to understand the nature of the growth—whether it's benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
• Treatment will depend on the diagnosis:
  

  Benign tumours can often be surgically removed.
  If it’s a malignant tumour, a combination of surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy may be needed.

🛑 Important Tips:

• Do not ignore persistent mouth swellings, especially if they are growing, painful, ulcerated, or bleeding.
• Avoid tobacco and alcohol if you use them, as they can worsen oral conditions.
• Maintain good oral hygiene and a healthy diet to support healing and prevention.
• Feel free to connect with us if you wish to consult with the oncologist or specialists for your treatment.

Hello Vijay Ji,

Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a highly advanced, noninvasive procedure used to treat brain conditions such as tumours, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and certain neurological disorders like trigeminal neuralgia. Despite its name, it is not a surgical procedure in the traditional sense—there’s no incision, no general anesthesia, and minimal recovery time.

How It Works:

• The procedure uses precisely focused beams of gamma radiation to target abnormal brain tissue while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

• A specialized head frame or mask is used to ensure accuracy.

• The treatment is typically completed in a single session, lasting a few hours.

• Patients remain awake throughout, though mild sedation may be given for comfort.

Benefits:

✅ No incisions, stitches, or hospital stay required
✅ Minimal side effects compared to traditional surgery
✅ High precision targeting, reducing damage to surrounding tissue
✅ Quick recovery—most patients resume daily activities within a day or two

Possible Side Effects:

Some patients may experience mild headaches, temporary fatigue, or swelling in the treated area. Serious complications are rare.

If you’re considering Gamma Knife treatment, we recommend consulting a specialist to determine if it's the right option for your condition.

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.
