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.

Oncology (General Cancer) - tail bone tumor and colon cancer


Expert: Dr Khalid Munir - 6/9/2009

Question
My farther is 63 and was diagnosed with colon/rectal cancer June 08. He did two rounds of chemo and had a tumor removed from his large intestine mid Dec 08. Reconstruction of his stomach and intestine was to occur May 09, but a CT scan result showed a tumor near his tailbone. Dr's are saying that his bladder might need to be removed or part of it, and reconstructed using some intestine. Further tests are being done to determine if the tumor is malignant. My question is, How common is this? Is removing the bladder necessary? What other alternatives does my farther have? Should a MRI be done?

Answer
Hi, If Cancer gets confirmed in reports, he needs a combination of three treatments to have a good chance of eradication of cancer. 1. Dndritic cell therapy 2. Surgery 3. Antiagiogenesis therapy  

Please get a Contrast CT scan done and inform me the report at khalid2277@rediffmail.com   MRI not needed. If possible, get a PET scan done. Contrast CT in most important
