Treatment for neuroendocrine carcinoma
Patient: Hi My father just got diagnosed with the Neuroendocrine Carcinoma with mets into liver. his age is 73, colonoscopy is clear, CT with contrast showed no tumors anywhere else apart from liver, CEA is normal, Hep B and Hep C are also negative, Gamma GT is 100% more than normal, Prostrate is 40G, fasting blood sugar is upper borderline since last two months with no history of diabetes before that, hypertensive since 20 years. had an eye operation for cateract and lense two years ago. Doctor: Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your father's situation and problem. Since he is having liver metastasis, he is having stage 4 neuroendocrine tumour. It is inoperable tumour. So only palliative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, pain management and nutritional support are required. So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these and start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
