Hello doctor,

I do not know the exact issue, but the doctor says my uncle is in a serious condition. Please review the report I have attached and guide us on what we can do.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. I have reviewed your attached report (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity), and it indicates a tumor at the lower end of the esophagus with a high suspicion of cancer. The two most essential investigations are the biopsy report from the endoscopy, which has been sent for analysis, and sharing the results. Additionally, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and chest with contrast is needed to determine the full extent of the disease and assess the possibility of surgical treatment. These two investigations will help finalize the treatment plan. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. I have reviewed the biopsy report and CT (computed tomography) scan you attached (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). The results confirm the presence of carcinoma (cancer) and it has also spread to the liver. I strongly suggest you visit an oncologist to explore the available treatment options. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
