cholangiocarcinoma/liver cancer


    
Asked by satadeep (Male; 53 ) on Sun 13, Dec 2009 09:40pm

My father aged 53 had been diagnosed with obstructive jaundice and the C.T Scan then done revealed a stricture in the common bile duct and the reason likely for the stricture was cholangiocarcinoma.Later E.R.C.P was done and a stent was successfully put into place and the jaundice part subsided.We were advised by the consultant oncologist Dr. S.H Advani to put the patient under observation and to report after a month with a freshly done C.T Scan.The recently done C.T scan revealed a hypodense lesion in segment IV of the liver of area 16X11mms.On seeing the reports the doctor administered 3 doses of gemcitabine to be given on day-1 day-8 and day-15. I would be ever indebted if you kindly let me know whether cyberknife surgery is possible in this case,and if yes what are the chances of success. Thank you Satadeep

Dear Satadeep, Cyberknife radiosurgery, although not expected to be curative in this setting, may be of benefit in releiving the symtoms and perhaps even in slowing the spread of his disease. Please consult an oncologist in a city/facility providing this service. All the best, and God Bless!
