Treatment and Procedure
Breast cancer usually involves a combination of imaging tests such as mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRIs, followed by a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells. Chemotherapy is used to destroy cancer cells and is often administered before (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant) surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence. Radiation therapy is done which uses high-energy rays to target and kill cancer cells. It is often used after surgery to eliminate any remaining cancer cells in the breast, chest wall, or lymph nodes. Surgical options include lumpectomy (removal of the tumor and some surrounding tissue) and mastectomy (removal of one or both breasts). Reconstructive surgery may also be performed to restore the breast's appearance.
Surgical options include lobectomy (removal of a lung lobe), pneumonectomy (removal of an entire lung), and wedge resection (removal of a small part of the lung). Surgery is often combined with other treatments such as Chemotherapy used to kill cancer cells and may be administered before or after surgery, or as a primary treatment for advanced stages of lung cancer. It is often combined with Targeted therapy that involves drugs that specifically target genetic mutations and proteins leading to cancer growth.
Surgical options include colectomy (removal of part or all of the colon), rectal resection, and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. The goal is to remove the tumor and surrounding tissues to prevent spread. Chemotherapy is used to destroy cancer cells and can be administered before or after surgery. It is also used to treat advanced colorectal cancer and reduce the risk of recurrence. Radiation therapy is often used for rectal cancer to shrink tumors before surgery or eliminate remaining cancer cells after surgery.
Surgical options include radical prostatectomy (removal of the prostate gland) and minimally invasive surgery. Surgery aims to remove the cancerous tissue and prevent spread. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and kill cancer cells. Hormone therapy is used that aims to reduce or block the production of testosterone, which can cause prostate cancer growth.
Chemotherapy is the main treatment for blood cancers, targeting rapidly dividing cancer cells. It can be administered orally, intravenously, or through injection into the spinal fluid.
Surgical options include conization (removal of a cone-shaped section of the cervix), hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), and radical hysterectomy (removal of the uterus, cervix, and surrounding areas). Radiation therapy is often used in combination with chemotherapy to treat advanced cervical cancer. It targets and kills cancer cells in the cervix and surrounding areas.
Surgical options include debulking surgery (removal of as much of the tumor as possible), hysterectomy, and oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries). Surgery aims to remove cancerous tissue and improve survival rates. Chemotherapy is often administered after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells.
Surgical options include the Whipple procedure (removal of the pancreas head, part of the stomach, and small intestine), distal pancreatectomy (removal of the pancreas tail), and total pancreatectomy (removal of the entire pancreas). Chemotherapy is used to shrink tumors before surgery, eliminate remaining cancer cells after surgery. It may be combined with radiation therapy for a better result.
Surgical options include partial hepatectomy (removal of the cancerous part of the liver) and liver transplantation. Surgery aims to remove cancerous tissue and improve survival rates. Radiofrequency ablation is done that uses heat to destroy cancer cells and is often used for small tumors that cannot be surgically removed. Chemotherapy can be administered systemically or directly into the liver (intra-arterial chemotherapy) to target cancer cells.
Surgical options include partial nephrectomy (removal of the tumor and part of the kidney) and radical nephrectomy (removal of the entire kidney and surrounding tissues). Surgery aims to remove cancerous tissue and improve survival rates. Targeted therapy involves drugs that specifically target genetic mutations and proteins that contribute to cancer growth.
Surgical options include esophagectomy (removal of part or all of the esophagus) and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. Surgery aims to remove cancerous tissue and improve survival rates. Chemotherapy is used to shrink tumors before surgery and eliminate remaining cancer cells after surgery. Radiation therapy targets and kills cancer cells in the esophagus and surrounding areas. It is often combined with chemotherapy for a better result.
