Overview:

The diaphragm, a vital muscle that allows us to breathe, is at the core of our every inhale and exhale. When diaphragm cancer strikes, it threatens not only our physical well-being but also our very ability to take life-giving breaths. At Heal Onco Care, we understand the profound impact that a diagnosis of diaphragm cancer can have on patients and their loved ones. We are here to provide comprehensive care, innovative treatments, and unwavering support as we fight this battle together and strive to restore the rhythm of life.

Diaphragm cancer, also known as primary diaphragmatic malignancy, is a rare form of cancer that originates in the diaphragm, the dome-shaped muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. This type of cancer is extremely uncommon, with limited research and understanding. Diaphragm cancer can manifest as various types of tumors, such as sarcoma, mesothelioma, or metastatic cancers that have spread from other nearby organs. Symptoms may include chest pain, difficulty breathing, abdominal discomfort, and unexplained weight loss.

Symptoms and Diagnosis:

Diagnosing diaphragm cancer can be challenging due to its rarity and nonspecific symptoms. Symptoms such as persistent chest pain, breathing difficulties, and unexplained weight loss may prompt further investigations. Diagnostic methods include imaging tests (CT scan, MRI), biopsies, and laparoscopy to assess the extent and nature of the cancer.

Treatment Options:

Heal Onco Care offers a multidisciplinary approach to treating diaphragm cancer, personalized to each patient's specific needs. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and palliative care.

Non Cancerous Diaphragm conditions treatment:

Non-cancerous conditions affecting the diaphragm involve various medical conditions that affect the muscular sheet separating the chest and abdominal cavities, known as the diaphragm. These conditions may include diaphragmatic hernias, diaphragm paralysis, or diaphragm disorders that affect its movement and function. While these conditions are not cancerous, they can cause respiratory difficulties, chest discomfort, and limitations in daily activities. At Heal Onco Care, we specialize in providing comprehensive treatment options for non-cancerous diaphragm conditions, aiming to relieve symptoms and improve your quality of life.

In addition to non-cancerous conditions affecting the diaphragm, our expertise extends to the treatment of other conditions, such as:

• Diaphragmatic Hernias: We offer specialized care for diaphragmatic hernias, which occur when a portion of the abdominal organs protrudes through an opening in the diaphragm. Our team focuses on repairing the hernia and restoring normal diaphragmatic function.
• Diaphragm Paralysis: We provide comprehensive evaluation and management of diaphragm paralysis, which can result from nerve damage or other underlying causes. Our treatment options may include physical therapy, diaphragm pacing, or surgical interventions to improve breathing function.

Surgery for diaphragm:

• Diaphragmatic resection
• Reconstruction of diaphragm
