The tumor has not been treated and the size is 1.5cm. I would advise you not to hesitate any longer and treat the tumor right away. It can still be "cured" with treatment. But if you wait any longer and metastasis occurs, you will miss the opportunity to "cure". As for how to do treatment. There are surgical methods and non-surgical methods, so we need to discuss them together and reach a consensus. If you can accept it, we can help you treat this tumor.
Yes. After the complete resection, check whether you need electrotherapy first. If you need electrotherapy, we will reconstruct after the electrotherapy is completed. Generally, for reconstruction, it's recommended that you do it about two years after the surgery.
If a liver cancer develops a blood clot, we consider him to be stage 4A. It's an advanced stage, but it hasn't metastasized anywhere else. If it's a thrombus in the portal vein, we can do seed implantation. We can implant seed into the thrombus in your portal vein to control the tumor and let the blood vessel reopen. Or let the thrombus not aggravate progressively. If it gets worse, there will be serious complications.
For breast reconstruction, we usually prefer the muscles of the rectus abdominis. Unless you are very strong and your latissimus dorsi muscles are well developed, you can use them. It also depends on the size of your opposite breast. If your opposite breast is small, you may be able to use the latissimus dorsi muscles. If the opposite breast is larger, then your latissimus dorsi muscles are not enough. Another thing is that there are some defects after the latissimus dorsi muscles are done. For example, after you remove the latissimus dorsi muscle, the side taken out is concave and deficient, so the shape of your back is not as perfect. However, most women have a lot of rectus abdominis muscle, which can be removed to give you a more perfect body shape.
For stage III breast cancer, should surgery or chemotherapy come first? The success rates of these two treatments. If it's stage III, most of the patients will receive chemotherapy before surgery. Doing chemotherapy first can shrink your tumor, reduce the tiny tumors in your blood, reduce the chance of recurrence, and help you provide the opportunity to preserve your breasts. It can also know your sensitivity to drugs. If you can't control the tumor after chemotherapy, it means your prognosis is very poor. In this case, it's recommended to do chemotherapy first and then surgery.
Whether you need chemotherapy and radiotherapy after surgery depends on the state of your lymph nodes after surgery, the size of the tumor and molecular analysis. So it is difficult to tell you whether you need chemotherapy or radiotherapy now. You need to give me all your reports, including the relevant parts I just mentioned, so that I can tell you whether you need chemotherapy or not. Some patients do not need chemotherapy or radiotherapy, but it depends on the patient's condition.
