AboutDr Khalid Munir Expertise I can answer questions about the correct guideline for treatment of a certain type of cancer to achieve good results. I can analyse signs and symptoms to identify cancer. I can recommend preventive measures to avoid getting this disease. I can tell about many good treatment methods which have been developed recently through cancer research.
Experience I have been working as a Oncologist with ICT New Delhi since the last two eras. I have experience of treating cancer patients through a variety of methods. My patients have been treated with radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery. I am also trained in Immunotherapy of cancer which is a recognized treatment method as per the guidelines of the American Cancer Society (ww.cancer.org). It is being given at only few places in the world. Immunotherapy works by enhancing the body's own defence mechanism hundreds of times.

Question My 16 yr old had a CT done and they thought they saw a lymphoma on his colon but all the blood work came back fine they told me things should be fine. Is this true
Answer blood counts doesnt matter much.
The only way to get a definite diagnosis of the cause of an enlarged lymph node is to remove it and look at it under the microscope. This is called a lymph node biopsy. It is a small operation. Your body has many lymph nodes, and having 1 or 2 removed does not usually cause any problems. The biopsy is usually done in hospital under a general anaesthetic, but sometimes under a local anaesthetic.
When you wake up, you will have a few stitches where the lymph node has been removed. These will be covered by a dressing. You will probably be able to go home the same day, as soon as you have recovered from the anaesthetic. You will most likely be asked to go to your GP surgery to have your stitches removed a week to 10 days later.
Maybe we haven't been told of many of the effective treatments of Cancer listed by the National Cancer Institute of USA and other International Cancer asociations.
Treatments which are established to be effective in the order of usefulness:
1. Surgery
2. Dendritic cell Immunotherapy
3. Antiangiogenic treatment
4. Immunomodulator therapy
5. Radiotherapy
6. Chemotherapy
In Lymphomas, Dendritic cell therapy is very effective and we have treated many patients with good results here in India
