What Does The Lab Test Report Indicate?

Posted on Thu, 21 Jan 2016

Question: Hello. I am attaching the report of my sister. I am unsure of which specialist to refer to. Also if you can help me to understand the report, if this is something in relation to cancer and what should I do ahead.

Brief Answer:
cancer is a definite possibility

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

This report is concerning for cancer. I guess she is suffering from severe pain over chest wall and shoulder. Considering the age and location, primitive neuroectodermal tumor would be the first possibility.

I would suggest oncology consult and getting a biopsy at the earliest so that treatment can be initiated promptly.

Hope this helps.
I will be available for further followup.
regards

Brief Answer:
can't see any new report

Detailed Answer:
If you are unable to upload the reports then send to customer care @ healthcare magic.com (no space).

But I don't recommend direct surgery as chemo first needs to be given, depending on biopsy report of course.

Brief Answer:
suggest biopsy followed by chemo

Detailed Answer:
if biopsy proves ewing sarcoma / PNET then chemo for 3-4 cycles then surgery then further chemo +/- radiotherapy. This is the standard protocol

Also PET-CT and bone marrow to complete the staging workup after biopsy result.
