Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy is an effective way to combat cancer, both as a palliative and curative treatment. It works by using radiation to destroy and halt the spread of cancerous tumors or cancer cells. Your doctor will determine the type of radiotherapy that is best suited for your individual needs, taking into account the size, location, and stage of cancer.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is an effective treatment for cancer that slows the growth of cancer cells. In contrast to radiation therapy and surgery, which target specific areas of the body, chemotherapy helps prevent and control the spread of cancer throughout the body.

This makes chemotherapy a great option when the risk of cancer spreading to other parts of the body is high. Informing people about the benefits of chemotherapy can be an important step in helping them manage their cancer treatment.

Chemotherapy

Autologous and Allogeneic Transplant

This stem cell transplant is a groundbreaking technique that replaces damaged or ineffective stem cells with healthy new ones. It has been known to save the lives of those who suffer from blood cancer or other serious blood disorders. In an allogeneic transplant, stem cells are taken or extracted from a donor after various tests are conducted to ensure a match. This donor could be a family member or an unknown person. In contrast, an autologous transplant involves collecting healthy stem cells from the patient prior to any treatment. These cells are then frozen using liquid nitrogen and injected back into the patient's body after treatment.

Surgery

It concentrates on the surgical handling of tumors, particularly cancerous ones. It is also useful to identify cancer and determine if the disease has spread to other parts of the body. The surgery is typically performed by a specialist in the field and involves removing the malignancy, as well as the surrounding tissue or organs. Depending on the type and stage of cancer, the surgery may include additional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It is an effective treatment for many types of cancer and can help improve the patient's chances of survival.
