About
Radiation Therapy: High-energy X-rays or other particles are used in radiation treatment to kill cancer cells. It is applicable both topically and topically (brachytherapy). Radiation therapy can be used as the main treatment in some circumstances, or it can be administered before or after surgery. Targeting and eliminating cancer cells while causing the least amount of harm to healthy tissues is the aim.
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a pharmaceutical treatment that employs potent chemicals to destroy your body’s rapidly proliferating cells. Since cancer cells proliferate and expand far more swiftly than most other cells in the body, chemotherapy is the treatment of choice for cancer. There are numerous chemotherapy medications available. Many different types of cancer can be treated with chemotherapy medications, either alone or in combination.
Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy functions by enhancing the immune system’s capacity to identify and combat cancerous cells. It covers a range of strategies, including cancer vaccines, CAR-T cell therapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Particularly for melanoma, lung cancer, and kidney cancer, immunotherapy has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in the treatment of select cancers.
Targeted Therapy: Drugs that precisely target cancer cells due to their distinct traits or genetic alterations are used in targeted therapy. Certain medications disrupt particular molecules implicated in the development and spread of cancer. One can utilize targeted therapies in conjunction with another therapy or as a stand-alone treatment.
Palliative Care: Palliative care is a medical intervention designed to enhance the quality of life for cancer patients and their families by reducing symptoms and alleviating suffering, as opposed to curing the disease. People can live more comfortably with the aid of palliative care. It is especially important in areas where a large percentage of patients have advanced cancer stages with little possibility of recovery.
