Should I Be Concerned For Malignant Tumor In Intestine?
Hi, i'm confused & i need to know more info. My mom is in hospital she have a tummy ache last weeks & went to see the hospital & found out the biopsy result she have a malignant tumor in intestine & schedule for operation next day. She is 72 yrs old. I live miles away from my family & so much worried. I dont know what happen after surgery or what may gonna happen to her? Is it curable? Hope you can help..
There are many types of malignant tumour in the intestine. Prognosis depend upon many factors like type of cancer,stage,age of the patient etc. Many types of tumour and early cases are fully recovered after excision. So,you shouldn't be panicky and wait for histopathology report. She may need further treatment after histopathology report like radiation therapy,chemotherapy etc.
Get well soon. Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
