Avatar f tn I'm not really familiar with a lot of cancer centers, but I did a little research and came up with an article showing that there were 4 cancer centers in Florida awarded the Governor's award for excellence in cancer treatment in 2015. I can't find anything any more recent. "The recipients include the H.
Avatar f tn I have a friend who is going to the Cancer Centers of America who has pancreatic, lung, and liver cancer that is still here after being given 3-6 months to live in 1997, he's still going, living with cancer. When cancers are advanced stage 3,4 some of the best places to go are the different specialty hospitals and treatment centers like this one as they treat the whole person, and they have clinical trials they can get you in pretty fast. Tony has done pretty good!
Avatar n tn These are the cancer centers doing the latest cancer research. They are located all over the U.S. and are usually affiliated with universities. Even consulting with another oncologist unaffiliated with your current one is good. Different doctors bring different perspectives to situations. There may be a clinical trial for which your friend may qualify. Certainly, it is always useful to seek second opinions. In any case having an open and frank discussion with your medical team can be useful.
Avatar f tn My markers dropped to 13 after surgery in June, then 3 weeks a go they went up above 42. Oncologist at Cancer treatment centers of america said I would get the same treatment here so I really don't want to travel. Plus they only have one gyn oncologist for their 5 hospitals and they are back logged. I have read that the best results are from drs that specialize in gyn cancers.
Avatar n tn My husband has/ had throat cancer. He went through kemo and radiation. He is going to tested Fri. to see if treatment worked. He still has very bad breath. Also 2 other spots have shown up too. He also has a large lump on his leg.
Avatar n tn Which breast care centers are most active in treatment of metaplastic carcinoma? How does one decide where to go for specialist opinions on less common cancers if local resources are limited? Are there any statistics on effectiveness of chemotherapy for this? Originally I was told that after a mastectomy for invasive ductal carcinoma, the next step would be chemotherapy.
Avatar n tn Also it takes a long time to get a call returned. I see Cancer Treatment Centers of America advertised all the time, but have never known anyone to go there. Good luck. I wish the best for your family.
Avatar n tn make sure to get a second and third opinion rergarding the best treatment possible for your daughters type of cancer. If you are in NYC you have the advantage of taking her to some of the best treatment centers in the world. I would suggest Memorial Sloan Kettering or Mt. Sinai Hosp.
Avatar n tn I have not heard about the Fuda Cancer Hospital. Have you tried the Cancer Treatment Centers of America? I have not had treatment myself there, but I've heard that they take difficult cases. You might call the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and talk to one of thier information specialists. They may be able to give you some good places to look into for treatment. The phone # is 1-800-955-4572. I hope this helps.
287578 tn?1198549844 There is a promising new drug, Sunitinib, which has recently been demonstrated to be active for this type of cancer. Treatment for the hepatitis C in the form of interferon and lamivudine, may have to be given as well. Any of the big cancer centers (example: MD Anderson) have adequate facilities for handling these cases.

751951 tn?1406632863 s been suggested that some seeking a new avenue should pursue those who are members of the Coalition of Multiple Sclerosis Centers. My question today is, is it acceptable to ask about specific MS centers? I'm waiting to hear from one, have another in mind, and keep hearing suggestions (from less informed sources) that I should check out another. Of these, the first and third are CMSC members. The third is probably a good hundred miles away, maybe a bit more.
Avatar m tn I believe that Johns Hopkins is a good choice for this since this is a specialized highly regarded cancer center. Fortunately, ALL is a treatable cancer with cure rates as high as 90% for specialized centers. I would also agree with you getting her to a specialized center in the US as data shows that US figures are still much better than that of developing nations but I believe that there are also good centers in India that can match US figures.
739091 tn?1300666027 FYI... just information sharing here. Volunteers Sought for "Chemo Brain" Study Posted Date: 7/16/2009 Faculty: Patricia Ganz, M.D. Researchers at UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center are seeking volunteers recently treated for breast cancer who may be experiencing cognitive difficulties, a condition often referred to as “chemo brain.
Avatar f tn suddnly they found cancer in his lymh nodes and ssaid that it had to have been somewhere else first i honestly believe that it was stomach cancer or throat cancer from the h-pyloi this scares me as i still have no ins.
Avatar m tn Thankyou very much for your reply I have now added info onto my profile This is my first time writing on a forum just didn't know what else to do The radiotherapy option is a 20% risk which as you suggest we don't think is too high to take under the circumstances but as with the chemo they wont administer any treatment until Sandra is well enough to start eating or drinking. Is this normal!
Avatar m tn told her to see an ENT 3 days later. ENT said it was not cancer, could see red bumps but not white spots and likely a common throat infection. He took a swab of her throat. I then went to get tested and came back positive for Gonorrhoeae, negative for Chlamydia. I was given a shot, 4 pills and then prescribed 10 days of Doxycycline. My symptoms cleared up the next day. I have been reading on your forum about resistance to fluoroquines (Leviquin). Does Leviquin still work for gonorrhoeae?

1181220 tn?1305120509 I have just gotten a notice back from Cancer Treatment Centers of America and they want to wait for 3 months and retest. In your opinion is this ok and what type of Doctor should I look for an Endo or an Endo with Diabetis? I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 05 had a total thyroidectomy and two rounds of radiation.
Avatar n tn my mother thinks she has throat cancer...i think barretts....since she was little she would always have her stomach acid flow through her throat.....( idon't know if that makes sense, like when she is laying down it flows back into her throat) and so over the years, her throat has suffered from the acid...she also feels pain in her throat...her throat burns everytime she talks and swallows (occasionally). her voice has became rough/scratchy. she also feels a lump in her throat. help me....
Avatar n tn Perillyl alcohol is derived from essential oils such as cherry, peppermint, sage, lavender and lemon grass. It has been used by cancer centers in holistic cancer treatment studies for pancreatic, stomach and colon cancer treatments. It's efficacy has not been proven. You do not need to worry about it in relation to your alcoholism.
Avatar n tn I had my treatments at Loma Linda Universty Medical Center in Loma Linda California... there are now several Proton Radiation treatment centers around the US and several under construction due to its great success... I Hope you dont have a problem but if you do, personally I would not even consider any of the other treatment options if you can have Proton Radiatio.... mainly because it has a 90% cure rate and little to no side effects...its a no brainer decision to me... hope this helps.
353148 tn?1293061164 Ideally you should bring him to a dedicated cancer center like MD Anderson or Mayo Clinic, but as you have said, the problem is convincing your father to switch to another doctor. What you can do is to survey cancer centers near your area (you can do this by using the internet). Your father may be amenable to go to another hospital if it is near and convenient for him to do so. You can also try searching over the internet for cancer support groups located near your area.
Avatar m tn Now there are over 10 cancer centers around the country that are performing the protocol. Send your medical records and imaging studies on a Disk to Dr. William C. Chapman at Barnes-Jewish Hospital (Washington University) in St. Louis and he will quickly tell you if your husband is a candidate for the treatment. His contact info is: Tel #: 314-362-7792 and his email is ***@**** His address is 660 So. Euclid Ave., Box 8109, St.
Avatar f tn Mark Kris, lung cancer chief at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, one of four big cancer centers launching studies on the experimental test this year. Cancer patients usually get a drug or radiation treatment and are then given a CT scan two months later to look for tumor shrinkage. Most don't live long enough to try more than one or two treatments.
