Are salivary gland tumors of serious concern?

Hi doctor,

My biopsy report reads like this. Please comment. Sections examined show a tumor composed of oncocytic cells arranged in cribriform, cystic, and papillary architecture. Comedonecrosis is present within the cysts. Most of the tumor in the biopsies is in situ. Immunohistochemistry was attempted for myoepithelial markers (p63, SMA) to look for invasive components. Most of the cribriform spaces are lined by myoepithelial cells. Block A2 focally has an area suspicious of invasion. This might be a sampling issue, and the biopsy may not be completely representative of the lesion.

Can Sarilumab be used to treat rheumatoid arthiritis?

Hello doctor,

My 53-year-old uncle had been experiencing joint discomfort and stiffness as a result of rheumatoid arthritis. Even after taking the prescribed drugs, his discomfort does not appear to be reduced. The doctor has now suggested Kevzara. Could you kindly tell me more about his medication and if it is suitable for treating rheumatoid arthritis? Will this provide a long-term cure for my uncle's issues, and should he be informed about any potential adverse effects?

What are the precautions to be taken to prevent infection from the flu?

Hi doctor,

The flu season is upon us, and we have been taken over by the flu every year since COVID-19. This time, I need to be prepared. Is there any way? I am a 50-year-old male, my wife is 46 years old, and my sons are 15 and 17 years old. I am looking for advice for all of them. What can we do if all of us have COVID-19? Before that, no one had ever had the flu or something. Please help.

Thanks.
