Needs Evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

Having a look at the reports it seems your grandfather has secondaries in the liver, prostatic enlargement and lymphnodes in portal region.

I would suggest you see a good oncologist in your area to find out if these are secondaries, if yes you need to identify the source and treat accordingly.

In the mean time give him parentral nutrition under guidance of a nutritionist and add a good probiotic for loose motions

There is some form of infection in his body as the counts are 12000 so you need to give a detailed history of fever, cough, etc.

Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern

It can be metastasis as per the CECT scan. If they are proved metastatic, yes, it is a matter for concern

Hi

Thanks for your followup

I can not comment on this as we do not have a confirmed clinical diagnosis with us, it is just a radiological impression

Get a FNAC done by a good oncologist and get back to me with the reports

Hope this clears your doubts
