I think you have refered the advices given by Sanjay Gandhi Medical Sciences hospital. Lucknow.I think you can take a overnight journey to Mumbai along with the reports and see the concerned doctor at Tata Memorial Hospital and decide. It may be difficult to get the correct doctor on internet and you can try to talk to the hospital receiption and find the name of the best Medical Oncologist and proceed. Their phone Numbers are - +91-22- 24177000, 24146750 - 55 and Fax: +91-22-24146937. You have not given any details regarding the type and stage of cancer suffered by the patient and in my opinion doctors are available in all places and especially in Lucknow also, as the chemotheraphy is given by them only and does not require any speical consultation. -

Homework - please tell me you aren't planning to be a doctor.
2 :
This isn't your own personal homework forum . . besides reality is hardly a guide for what your teacher is looking for in an answer. Personally I would say Palliative, because palliative is indicative of 'no treatment' . . but that is probably not what your teacher is seeking out for an answer.

What are the side effects and warnings for an experimental Cancer treatment called Tarmerac for lung cancer

What are the side effects and warnings for an experimental Cancer treatment called Tarmerac for lung cancer?

First of all, that's why it's an experimental cancer treatment. They don't know the side effects yet. That only happens when they get people who are willing to take part in the trials. You get the drug for free, then they monitor you carefully for any reaction. That's where the side effects come in. Any and all side effects no matter how bad or not bad they are must be recorded. If they test this drug on say, 100 people and only 1 out of the 100 experiences something strange, it still has to be recorded as a possible side effect. So you probably tried to look this drug up on line and found nothing and you won't, no one will because it is just and experimental treatment right now. This is why they can't even tell the public right now of any possible side effects because the test are not completed. Are you going to take part in this trial?
2 :
If you have been asked to take part in a trial, request the patient information document. In fact you should already have been given a copy. this should contain a list of all known side effects and their frequency. If you are not satisfied, ask the doctor what he knows from the investigator brochure. Also ask him about the side effects of some other standard treatments for a comparison.

Hi I came across a very interesting article in the magazine on how to prevent cancer. I am apart from the treatment you would also like to share about prevention which will always be better than cure. The article also highlight the best nutrition that is lacking in today's diets leading to cancer risk.

There is a website for the product: http://www.escozul.com/ A word of caution . . there is no scientific evidence that this venom is of any benefit to people with cancer. No Clinical Trials have been conducted to study dosage, side effects, or safety of the product. It's an untested treatment. You can check Entrez PubMed though for the results of other types of scorpion venom used in medical research. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?DB=pubmed

They target the particular cancer cells without causing (too much) damage to the surrounding healthy cells.

Indium 111 is used to image tumors in an OctreoScan. Gallium 68 is used to image tumors in a PET scan. Systemic treatment, targeting tumors with peptide receptors, can be given using Yttrium 90 or Lutetium 177. Dr Ebrahim S. Delpassand of Excel Diagnostic Imaging Clinics, Houston, Texas gained FDA approval in August this year to use Lu 177 therapy for patients with neuroendocrine cancers. Previously US patients have traveled to Europe for this treatment - notably here: http://www.erasmusmc.nl/nucleaire_geneeskunde/prrt/?lang=en
