Suggest Treatment For Granulosa Cell Tumor
Hello, Sorry about your aunt health condition, if it is tumor compression then it is better to get removed by surgery. Then you may follow up with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Please consult your oncologist he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
