What causes spreading of the cancer after chemo therapy?
Patient: my father is having lungs cancer.........he was also a patient of tata memorial mumbai...........his treatment was going in amri dhakuria follwing the schedules of radiation and kemo given from tata memorial..........10 radiation was given and 5 kemo.but now the report is telling that cancer was spreaded babdly.so what we should do now? Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM. Lung cancer is always spreading in nature. You can slow down the rate of spreading by chemotherapy and radiotherapy but you can not completely stop the spread. The cancer cells are spread by blood so they can affect liver, bones, brain, adrenal , gut etc. So at this moment your father needs palliative care in the form of multivitamins, central pain killers like tramadol, hematanics, cough supressants etc. So better to avoid further chemo and radiotherapy.
